Bob,

The average user here does not have access to the 18watt.com database. Hard to make changes without admin access to the db.

Ah, I thought you meant by admin.
Not that they would do it anyway...

Sell all your pedals, plug in straight into a low powered tuber and move your ass to Hamburg edgy 1961 Beatle's rock and roll!

I know I've seen that picture before somewhere... Damnit.

I tried plugging into a potato, but all I got was starch and cellulose on my plug.

I would have loved to jam with Che

He was big on the protest songs I hear?

I'm sure that after you two got done playing your acoustics, you both got the guitars behind this amp and plugged into it.

Somehow I have the feeling that no matter how the dials are set on whatever pedal that is, the sound is gonna be just this side of a bowl of bad stew.

By the way, this thread has been very interesting. Not sure I believe all the dialogue about the Eagles, but interesting nonetheless.

Trivia question:

Which Steely Dan song mentions the Eagles?

dartanion · Post by **dartanion** » Thu 09/29/05 8:38 pm

KC,

You really think the Eagles guitar work sounds as good now as when they had Felder? By all means, they are all good musicians, but Felder WAS the guitar tone of most their tunes. Joe is a good player, but often sloppy, which is part of his style (which I love by the way). Glen, give me a break! He should stick to singing. Whoever it is who is filling in for Felder is a decent player, but he is no Felder. Don Felder is to the Eagles as Stephen Stills is to CSN. Remove the guitar wizard and you don't have much left.

Previously, I was only commenting on how I was a bit skeptical about all the talk about the legal issues between them, but they could very well be true also. Just very interesting. I find it almost unbelievable that someone that's that closely tied to the case could let out so much info. But I'm not a legal expert, so what do I know?

I haven't heard the Eagles new lineup, but I agree, Felder had too many tone-arrows in his quiver to be replaced. What a horrible mistake. The more I think about Felder, the more I have to think that he's one of the most underrated guitarists, or unknown guitarists to ever be in a famous band. Kind of like Elliott Easton of the Cars.

Interestingly, the guitarists I just mentioned above are Jewish.

Let me name several more who are great guitarists:

Paul Stanley

Ace Frehley

Gene Simmons

Marc Bolan (T. Rex)

Randy California

Folks, I mean absolutely no disrespect by posting this. I once saw a book about famous Jewish musicians that was riveting. I think all races and cultures should be celebrated and talked about......of course in a respectful manner.

Here's a link to that book:

Paula Abdul?

Never would have guessed that.

jersey_aaron · Post by **jersey_aaron** » Thu 09/29/05 9:47 pm

Or Al Jolson. I didn't know Billy Joel was Jewish.

KingCrimson · Post by **KingCrimson** » Thu 09/29/05 9:56 pm

Elvis is an interesting inclusion.

By the way, I got the info from this site:

dartanion · Post by **dartanion** » Fri 09/30/05 1:27 am

Phish is hardly a Dead cover band.

Lenny Kravitz was only half Jewish, and I believe raised religiously neutral.

Is there any lists for Square Headed Norskes?

Because she isn't. I watched a program about her once, and as I remember she was a mix between French, Syrian, Irish and Argentinan - or something close along those lines. Whatever the exact details, there's some Arab blood in there, but no Jewish. And BTW I generally tend to be pro-Jewish in my outlook, so this isn't any racist thing on my part here.

Correct,

And has one of the best guitar solos ever recorded - by Larry Carlton, if I'm not mistaken.
