I wouldn't go see them if you GAVE me tickets....that's just me though.

I'd like to see Metallica vs. Disturbed in a UFC match.

I went on saw them in 1997- right before the soundman turned the "suck" knob to 11 for the band.

Didn't the stage fall apart and all the lights but a drop light happen also. I remember that here in Spokane. We left just then.......Yeah, is sukked bhalls.

Yep. The best part was the woman behind me thought it was real. I had to turn and tell her "Its all an act"

Hey! Joe Walsh got a new Carvin!

Are the Eagles still relevant?

I love Joe Walsh, but Don Henley....esh. Don't get me started.

SWEET CARVIN!

Check out that Gibby Firebird Glen Frey is playing!

Reminds me of Warren Haynes, Johnny Winter and Allen Collins...

They knew how to make F-birds WORK.

Allen Collins (1952-1990) of Lynyrd Skynyrd
(Note the vintage tremolo on this one)



Johnny Winter ("Still alive and well..")



Warren Haynes of Allman Bros. Band & Gov't Mule

*looks at Firebird pictures*

No reverse ones, eh? The reverses are very rare creatures.

EDIT- Allow me to explain what a reverse Firebird is:


Firebird I - One pickup. Combination stud bridge/tailpiece. Chrome hardware.
Firebird II Artist CMT - A limited production instrument from the early 1980s; features a maple top, mahogany body, set mahogany neck, two standard-sized humbuckers, and toggle switches to control active Moog electronic tone controls.
Firebird III - Two pickups, Tune-o-matic bridge and Gibson Vibrola. Chrome hardware.
Firebird V - Two pickups, Tune-o-matic bridge with Maestro "Lyre" Vibrola; reissues feature a stop-bar tailpiece. Chrome hardware.
Firebird VII - Three pickups, Tune-o-matic bridge and Maestro "Lyre" Vibrola tailpiece. Gold hardware.
Firebird Studio - Two standard-sized Alnico humbuckers, Tune-o-matic bridge with stop-bar tailpiece. Chrome or gold hardware. Set neck.
Firebird XII - Two pickups, twelve string non-reversed version on the Firebird.
Non-Reverse Firebird - Collectors' term for a Firebird I, III, V or VII featuring a headstock with the tuners on the bass side, and a body having the bass side horn slightly longer than the treble side horn.

Sorry, but it is an ugly guitar. It may have a cool unique sound, but it is ugly.

Thats not ugly- its different. Red and white are the colors the Stripes predominately use. I could see that it doesn't have the sexy curves, but to me its different. It stands out.

Sorry about the blurry photo, I was in a hurry.



He was baffled by the stereo thing and had purchased a Y adapter so he could run both outputs to his amp simulatneously. Heh. We showed him how it worked.

Anyway, other than belt buckle rash it's in excellent condition. I fell in love with it right away. He's a realtor, so he's having a bit of a tough time lately and was saying, "I dunno if I can keep it", so I begged him to give me first chance if he decides to sell it.

Don't Rickenbacker's use the stereo setup also?
