Maverick

I could never forget you and our time together.

Who dis?

For me it is in Freewill. Right when the guitar solo ends, the band goes back into the pre-chorus/secondary verse section, but without any vocals. Alex plays the opening descending riff starting on F and then goes right into the Bm11 arpeggio. But when he shifts to the F chord, instead of playing it in the 1st position like the other times, he goes up to the 8th position and plays it there, and then stays there for the C arpeggio. Both times he hits the high C on the E string. Then he does to the D chord and goes between D and Dsus4 in what, to me, anyway, one of the the most powerful moments in rock history.

Put the Message In The Box - World Party

This review didn't age well.

First Boston album.

Led Zeppelin IV does it perfectly.

The Garden Losing It Resist Not really hits with the general public, but much beloved amongst most Rush fans. I dislike the second and third songs. I outright hate the first. We're talking Sith Lord level hate.

I've only checked out Distant Early Warning, but it was perfect.

Definitely going to have to check this out.

She was more of the "how big she's going to be" and now "how big she could have been." It was five years since her last album until she died.

King Crimson, definitely. Especially Lark's thru Red.

Yes. I had a piezo system on my Music Man JP6 that I had from 2007 to early 2019. I kind of missed having that option, so I thought this was an opportunity to get it back. I think in a lot of ways this guitar replaces that guitar, but in an overall better package. Interestingly, if I hadn't gotten the piezo, there would have been a three way toggle for the pickup selector, much like on the PRS Custom 24 guitars, and the Tone knob would have been push-pull to split the coils. But because I got the piezo, the volume knob went where that toggle would have gone, so I got a five way switch, and no push-pull. I wasn't really clear on that when I ordered it, but I had an idea it might be coming that way based on what the virtual builder showed me. My only complaint with the five way switch is that I get both humbuckers in the third position (at least I'm pretty sure, they don't sound split to me,) but I can't get both split. Positions one and five are bridge and neck humbuckers, respectively, and two and four are bridge and neck split. And I'm really quite happy with 1, 2, 4, and 5. I just don't think I'll be landing on 3 much, or ever. But both split pickups could have been really good. And full and split bridge with the piezo is really quite good, too. So yeah, it is very versatile, it looks amazing, and it plays great, too. And it is a chunk! I haven't weighed it, but it is heavier than my Aries. I'll have to see how it compares to my SE McCarty 594 single cut. That guitar is 8lb 3oz. And if you are curious, the bridge pickup is a Lithium, and the neck is a Beryllium. Apparently it is a pretty popular combination. I have a bridge Beryllium in my Aries. And the neck wood is Walnut and Mahogany.

Well, I did a thing: Kiesel California Carved Top in Crimson Red

Smashing Pumpkins - Atum - At three discs and 33 tracks, it is a bit too long, but there is still some rally good music on this release with a good mix of heavy rock and synth pop. As for Clockwork Angels, I think I appreciate more each time I revisit it. The only songs I always skip are Halo Effect, BU2B2, Wish Them Well, and The Garden. The album essentially stops for me after Headlong Flight, which is really what Rush should have done, too.
