    You were really kidding, right? You weren't really offended by silly boy humour, right? Especially as it was hardly the point that I was making... the point being the guitars and effects.

    Honest.


    It was an "In Living Color" refrence. I wish thye would bring that show back.

    now tell me, someone who has no clue how to play a guitar, why is that?



    Gretsch guitars has a model called a White Falcon. It's been made since the 1950's. During the Elevation tour, Fred Gretsch brought Bono a proto-type of a White Falcon but in green. Bono had been playing a cadillac green 1959 Gretsch Country Club for most of the early Elevation dates.

    The "everygreen" (finish) Falcon became known as the "Irish Falcon". This is the guitars that Bono has with The Goal is Soul emblazoned on the pickguard.



    Gretsch later introduced a production model of the guitar, with a portion of the procedes going to DATA.

    I get the reference. And yep, that was a great show. But I doubt that Jim Carrey would go back to doing TV and the Wayans Bros quit the show as FOX kept intruding and telling them what they could and couldn't do and should and shouldn't do.

    It just seems far too big lol. Don't get me wrong, if someone gave me one tomorrow, I'd happily keep it and look after it BUT I wouldn't get one otherwise. One thing is that I don't like pointy headstocks in general, hence I dislike stuff like SGs, most PRSes, Schechters etc. - however, I make exception for the Explorer because it just looks different to everything else and to me looks pretty swish.

    Ok, Jana matey you've lost me - erm, I do play the guitar lol. And as for why I wouldn't want one, read above


    hmm, are we misunderstanding eachother now? I meant that -I- don't play the guitar, but still wanted to know why you wouldn't play that particular one (even if that meant that I wouldn't understand your explanation, but 'too big' I can understand, lol).



    I just love this topic so much, even though I have no clue what's going on most of the time am trying to absorb it all though.

    Talkbox... well the DID cover Peter Framton songs early on.

    I am sure if he DID use one, it'd be ran though other odd effects so that he'd be doing something a bit different than the usual things that Peter Frampton, RItchie Sambora (Bon Jovi) and Joe Perry (Aerosmilth) did with it.

    Oh I see, I thought you meant why would I care if I don't play guitar lol? My mistake, sorry! And yeah, there's nothing necessarily technical about why I wouldn't want to play it, i.e. nothing related to the tone, the action, the pickups etc. - it's just personal preference with regard to how the thing looks; doesn't go with me. Like I say, too big, pointy headstock and just not my kinda thing lol!

    Glad to share. Them'z two of m'favies from the Vertigo tour. The blurry one is cool as feck. I wish I had a bigger copy to make a shirt with.

    I'd put a caption under it:
    It's ALL about the drums - Larry Mullen Jr.

    So if anyone knows how to make that bigger without losing resolution... hook a brutha up!
