What Cheered You Up Today? (1 Viewer)

[DBII]

Two of my sons joined the Marines.
Breaks my heart. I'm a 20 year Army man.

Soldiers united. I'm a tanker. My nephew was marines and got out after second tour. He was an MP type. He had two kids and remarried a lady with three kids and then had one together. He is small town police officer and went into the army national guard and got deployed again.

My youngest son's surgery went well. He woke up, crawled straight into my wife's arms.

By the time he got home, you would not think he had a surgical procedure done. Cheerfull, happy, and as wild and crazy as any 4 year old can be. When they call tomorrow to follow up and see how he is doing, I'm actually going to jokingly complain that they did not knock him out enough, that mom and dad wanted a break.

Glad to hear he's on the mend.

Tonight first gig in three years. I'm excited.

Marcel , I hope you guys blow it up (as we say, usually, in Persian)

DerAdlerIstGelandet , Great news and a huge relief... I even can not put myself in your place, for a single second.

Now I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head all day, or longer

In America we say "break a leg", or some of us, "knock 'em dead". Either way, Marcel , kill it.

Would be interesting to know how do they say it in Dutch!

The left guy with the guitar is me.

Rockin' the Brian May, hell yes.

Rockin' the Brian May, hell yes.

First time I played it on a gig indeed.
If you look closely, you'll see my telecaster as well on the left side of the picture in the background.

Brian May, a definite guitar god. One of my favorites.

I wish I had seen Queen with Freddie back in the day. I did see them in Chicago with Adam Lambert and I got to say Adam did it justice. No, it wasn't the same, but it was still a killer show. Seeing Brian alone made it worthwhile in itself.

What kind of music do y'all play, and what does the May give you for that? This is the geek stuff that interests me. I've loved the Guilds I've played, but never have played a BM. His sound with Queen always struck me as a middle-ground between a Strat and a Gibson of whatever ilk. Do you get that playing it?

I'm also curious about what amp you used. I've always thought the Vox sound made a bit of his tone too, in conjunction with the homebuild.

I got to see them in Minneapolis in '81.
I also spent many years studying Mays' Postulate, and can find no flaw in it.

All I know is that I would kill a mofo if I could make my guitar sound like the solo on "We Will Rock You". That is the creamiest and thickest dirt I've ever heard.

We're actually an alternative '90ies rockband (although I squeezed in "Tie your mother down" in the set, especially for the BMG). The telecaster is usually the better fit. Actually, a telecaster almost always fits in any style. But the fun thing of the BMG is that it actually is a semi hollow and it produces a great controlled feedback. Combined with the whammy bar, it is great for Muse songs where I sometimes want to produce weird noises.
I do play a Vox ac 10 and built my own treble booster pedal last year, so I can definitely get close to that Queen sound if I want to.

I wouldn't describe the sound as a middle ground between a Gibson and a strat. It's very much it's own thing. There is a top end in the sound unlike any other guitar I've played.

Ah interesting. I've only heard it in jest, mimicking the Germans ( hals und beinbruch) or the Americans.
