      I guess I need to be featured in more ads, since Matt always gets mentioned, and I don't - and we're in the same band. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

      Of course, that's probably because he plays them damn pointy guitars, whereas I have nice, comfortable Soloists and Dinkys.

          No biggie, Boxcar - it just gave me a chance to brush off my Rodney Dangerfield chops. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

          Oh, and for the record, it's Blevins. I don't suppose that one of the admins could add that into my displayed name? Pretty please?

Anthrax and Def Leppard's stars have been fading for much longer than Megadeth's, and all respect to Matt and Mitch, but they are still virtual unknowns compared to Dave Mustaine. He is still a more valuable endorsee than those guys, again no disrespect to them.
              <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">If it weren't for Dan Spitz, Dave probably never would have gotten his Jackson endorsement anyway. Though, since Dan's been out of Anthrax, he hasn't done much in the music biz, but I hear he's coming back and is now with Dean guitars.

                <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">He was "endorsed" by the local distributor or music store, one of those.

If Jackson put them up on their website as endorsed, I would say they were endorsed by Jackson. That's how all the Euro bands were endorsed by Jackson then.

                  Europe has always gone for that feudal system anyway! The baron reports to the count, who reports to the duke, who reports to the king! I'm sure it was a lot easier for the AMIC-owned Jackson to do that in Europe, wheras Fender is well established pretty much everywhere that has electricity.

                  Any way you cut it, Alexi and Roope were dedicated Jackson artists. Very bad luck that Alexi was desperate to replace his stolen guitars just as the FMIC Jackson buyout shook things up at Jackson. Since he had no choice but to go to ESP under the circumstances, I'm glad Alexi's getting to like his ESPs now.
