I must be getting old

[Brandenburg]

ohh hell.. i feel as disco musical coming on.. ohh (eerie music) <enter imagination>

[pianoguyy]

well dang...
i play guitar rock. but that doesn't mean that i can't enjoy other stuff when i am off stage.

[leftykingv2]

I've always liked Strats and Les Pauls but my Jacksons are still the best! Disco sucked back then and still does. Oh, and this Country Pop garbage sucks just about as bad as Disco! There, I feel much better now

+1 Amen brother! So do I! I can't stand any of that crap music you just named.

My single coil neck pick up has been getting a lot more work than the bridge humbucker that last few months. So has the clean channel on my amp. I walked around the music store with my kid's last night wanting to buy something heavy to listen to but nothing jumped out at me. I am hoping that Jake E. Lee's new CD coming out the end of the month inspires something.

The problem is called
inspiration
or, in this case, lack thereof.

I thought its worth repeating

I have an advantage to some degree working on so many guitars.
Seems every time I get the urge to buy a jazz box type guitar one comes in for repair.
I fix the electronics (which is a PITA) do a set up and play it.Then I realize these guitars just don't appeal to me other than the looks.
In turn I save money and the urge goes away.
Same goes with a std strat I love the looks and the way they play but get bored with them very quickly and flip them.
Same for any L.P I pick up at a good price it always gets flipped.

Downing, Tipton, Gers, Murray.... All strat guys at one time or another. Metal as hell!

I love the strat headstock. Just a classic, shot of bourbon, can of beer, pack of marlboros and some good loud music. Just fits.

First guitar I bought for myself was an 87 American Standard. Still the one guitar that is "my guitar", even though I possess 2 dozen more. Never will part with that one.

[artonsafari]

Love that the Charvels that have the Strat headstock on them.

[BLOOD SPLATTER]

Tastes change....requiring different style guitars....may change again or may find you miss your "shredders"....sometimes you feel like a nut....sometimes....wait....disco??

For many folks, variety is the spice blah blah blah. But I am still trying to master a lot of the aspects of hair metal and shred guitar from the 80's and 90's-- and I'm almost 50. I must suck. Don't get me wrong I listen to a LOT of different shit but I gravitate to metal and shred styles when it comes to guitar. To that end, I still seek out 80's era type guitars and finishes. Must be musically retarded...

[straycat]

Hell I'm 61 and I love the 80's Charvel and Jacksons better than any thing else.

In fact, you can throw in Rap/Hip Hop along with Country Pop and Disco and you pretty much have the Trifecta of Audio Excrement right there

You don't suck bro. People just don't realize or have any clue how great some of the "Hair Metal" and "Shred" guys were as players. You're not a tard either you just like good guitars and great playing.

You and I have to have a beer sometime bro because you're typing the shit I've been thinking since I was 12. My treat!
