I still love all those guys too.......that is an unbelievably tough style to play well.....and idiot kids make fun of that style now!!! they worship shoe-gazers like Linkin Park

I was the lead guitartist/co-songwriter in a band back in the day, played the Central, Ballard Firehouse, etc....Played on the same bill with some future millionaires like Alice in Chains, etc...we headlined the mural amphi stage at the '90 Bite of Seattle, had two songs on local radio, got so close to a record deal we could taste it......tons of demo tapes, lots of nibbles, too many showcases to count......then one fine day, Nirvana blew up and any band from Seattle NOT playing grunge would never get another showcase. End of story. Go back to work, grab your flyrods, move on with life and forget about that dream.....................same old story, different faces

These days I'm down to just one Charvel strat and and one well-beaten acoustic. I pick them up every now and then, go "whonk whonk" a few times and put 'em down....I dont' even have a real amp any more, I play my electric through a Pandora's Box............

anyone wanna buy a Roland drum machine dirt cheap? I'll throw in a free condenser mic..............
