I may have picked up a few words in Klingon.  All I know about guitars is they burned them back in the 60's.  They don't seem like they'd start burnin' like that, but evidently only the good players tend to burn them up.  Shame.  I've seen many people who should burn theirs ;)

Jimi was nowhere near as good a musician as Eminem.  Jimi was just a wannabe angry black man, and Eminem IS an angry black man.

I will admit to owning Purple Rain. My Girlfriend bought it for me. I never once considered attending a Prince concert though.

Actually if Prince had performed in concert here (SW Missouri) I'm sure that he would be the "late" artist formerly known as Prince. The Rednecks would have killed, cleaned, cooked, and eaten him.

Since he started wearing purple pants.

I love people who think "black" is politically incorrect, and that "negro" is the proper term.  That just cracks me up.  Personally, I think "African American" is the dumbest ass term possible for black people.  They are black, just like I'm white.  In fact, I'm wearing a white shirt right now and I can tell you that I am nothing like literally white.

I have Purple Rain and several others. Prince is awesome. Check out Diamonds and Pearls, terrific album. In concert his guitar neck is shaped like a penis! Brilliant!

Okay... verifiable:

Very, very few guitarists in rock music can duplicate Eddie Van Halen's work.

Eddie's got nothing on Michael Angelo Batio.    Inventor of the "double guitar" (the kind that Steve Vai used in some DLRoth video) and also the fastest guitarist in the world.

www.angelo.com

And for a real treat, he plays the quad guitar.  He plays all four necks, two at a time while spinning the entire contraption in front of him.

No crap, don't put your kids in a real fridge.

I was born in the US, immediately moved to Canada, then bounced back and forth about 50 times, then finally settled in the US.

It took me many years to realise that I actually was.

Pride is funny.

I can't believe that Jonnyboy posted the entire eruption tabs.
I have a wannabe strat. I blew the trem out of it because of Eddie. I feel he owes me a new bridge. Heck with interest he owes me a whole new guiter. Heck and a 5150 amp set as well.
I have never seen metal break. It was somehting like cast iron, but lighter like aluminum.

Did you have your amp turned up to 11?
