Dude ...

Allright:

 

  I've watched demo after demo, and learned...nothing.  How about some REAL-WORLD demos - i.e, for us guys who play something besides mellow Strat licks in our bedrooms!

 

  I want to hear some CRANKED Deluxe Reverb demos with Les Pauls and ES-335's, with neck and bridge pickups dimed vs. reduced (via guitar volume knobs) guitar rhythym volumes, for those of us who actually play in the real world.  This is ridiculous - everybody in the world doesn't sit around on their duffs and play Strats in their bedrooms for their Grandmothers!  PLEASE - some REAL WORLD demos, besides all this staged easy-listening stuff!  These demos are frustrating, contrived,  and misleading as heck!

EAGERLY awaiting a response to this challenge to these silly, wimpy, staged stoogey demos.  I wanna buy some speakers, but show me the REAL DEAL.

I PLAY GIBSON GUITARS IN BARS with blues and classic rock bands, not wimpy SRV Strat licks in my bedroom at  Mommy's house, ok?  How about some demos for real men who play in real situations?  Fer cryin' out loud.

Crank these amps and speakers up and give us the REAL story for REAL men who play REAL world gigs.  Gawd!!

End of rant.

reverb is from a late 70s holy grail pedal. 

This is the last song at a gig at the house of the president of my rugby club. (So read between the lines on any performance issues!)
