  • Association for the Eye-Gauged and Brand blinded....

So the "gig" on Thursday started around 8pm.......a couple beers, ciders (for the non-beer drinkers), a helluva lot of guitars, two Marshall amps, two vocalists (trying to out-do the Marshalls without any mics), some "lap-drumming", one acoustic guitarist, an one audience......... ? ? ?

Couple of Strats, a Tele, PRS, Eli's Taylor, and .............TWO IBANII....(thanx Ray for educating me on the plural)............screeching into the night until well after midnight.......... now howzat for a "mini impropmtu" jam session...........

And yep guys, had avery "difficult" day today, but well worth the fun!!!!!!!!!!!!! :applause:

Thought I'd share a few pics of the event!!!

2. Stratisfear playing his Strat with the new ToneRiders.....awesome tone........




3. Brent (with PRS Std 24) and Stratisfear (and his 2nd Strat)........

5. Brent showing us his acoustic skills on Eli's Taylor BB............apologies Brent, will get heavier gauge strings next time.......still, I was pleasantly impressed with what could be gotten out of the TBB............ ?




6. Brent in Blues mood with the Ibanez JS1000..........




7. Arjun and Stratisfear get into some serious Pink Floyd!!!!!...........

                    That Tele has incredible tone, action and it looks good as well.
                    I tried to sneak it home, but Stratisfear had to much equipment to carry ?
                      Hey, with those guitars, i couldn't help but be a happy chappy ?
                      Thanks to Aubs for hosting us, Stratisfear for the ride and Brent for the company.

                      Played (in no particular order) :

                      1. Ibanez JEM - It is a very versatile instrument, but very unforgiving at the same time. I have newfound respect for Mr. Vai.
                      2. Ibanez JS1000 - This guitar blew me away but i sorted of expected it from having owned one previously. The whole feedback & trem business was beautiful.
                      3. Fender Tele - I'm not one to be associated with Fenders but this guitar really floored me. Such character! Bravissimo!
                      4. PRS Standard 24 - Again, beautiful guitar and impossible to get a bad sound out of.
                      5. Tokai Loverock with P90s - Having never played an LP or a P90 equipped guitar, i wasn't sure what to expect. This guitar kills and the P90s have such balls. This guitar is the dogs bollocks!

                      Some moments from the night that were brilliant:

                      1. Brent's amazing acoustic chops.
                      2. Stratisfear's overall guitar playing. The guy has such feel.
                      3. Aubrey's kindness (you know what i'm talking about) and graciousness as a host.
                      4.Aubrey's gear! (Duh)
                      5. The impromptu Police/Sting/Led Zep cover tunes.
                      6. And Stratisfear's "Danger Zone" outro ?

                      What a blast. Pity i felt old the next morning.
