    Bidding on my dream guitar on eBay and it's scary-cheap, with only 12 hours left and I'm the highest bidder. We'll see how that goes...

    what kind of guitar is it?
  2. Well its sort of a long story- but I've wanted an SG for as long as I've known how to play a single chord.



    When I first started playing when I was very young, the first rock n' roll band I was ever interested in was AC/DC. Angus Young played one of these and I thought it just looked like the most badass guitar I'd ever seen in my whole life. So since then, I've always wanted to pick up the Epiphone (since its what I could afford and they play very well), which really isn't that expensive- but I tend to never really save enough money for it. This one's on eBay for about half of what you pay for it in the store. Never bought a used guitar before but I figure I'll give it a try.

    in all seriousness, this guitar looks epic. E.P.I.C.
    to play this just once must be incredible. I wish you all the luck there is that you succeed on this auction

    Thank you! It really plays something wicked...

    Hope to win it!
  7. It looks awesome, good luck!
  8. I'm hooooome

    Good luck with that guitar Matt, you can send it to Sweden after you've won it

    I want my birthday to be NOW. 'Cause I'm pretty damn sure I'm gonna be given the Bad Monkey pedal.
  9. That pedal's a nice one. Don't really "play around" with it too much but it sweetens up the sound some.
  10. Went to a show last night, it was done by a sort of production company called Classic Albums (not sure if there's any affiliation with the documentaries), and they performed The Joshua Tree in its entirety!

    It was pretty damn good. Obviously they didn't sound exactly like U2, (it wasn't a tribute band) but on some of the songs they seriously nailed the album versions. Still Haven't Found sounded awesome, it sounded a LOT like the album. I'm pretty sure they performed it in the same key as the album too, and while the singer couldn't hit ALL of the high nuances Bono does, he still nailed most and sounded awesome. Bullet The Blue Sky was just...wow. Maybe it was becuase I've never had the pleasure of hearing it performed live by U2 (yet!), but the song was almost scary. They really captured the darkness of that song, as well as Exit and Mothers.

    All in all it was cool to hear some of those songs live, and even cooler to hear The Joshua Tree performed front to back. Obviously it wasn't any comparison to U2 themselves, but I'll never hear them do that type of performance or perform some of those songs either. Cool show!
