Wanted: Guitar Heroes

[JPMKD]

Risto! Hindley Street and the Russians are good! I like the singing in both.
I love that the Macedonian bass player plays a Yamaha. My son plays a vintage BB one as his main bass as well.

(On a side note re. SC. Not sure what a "repost" is and how I did it. (Late night browsing, lol)
So I removed it as I didn't know what it meant or how I did it. And did not want to make a faux pas.)

JP, the Yamaha made in Japan gear is world class and has been since the late 1960s in my opinion. I have one of their L series acoustics from the 70s which compares to my Martins easily. Top quality.

A Russian cover band. My mind is blown. Every song they do is sonic perfection:

PHENOMENAL

Nice find Risto...will those golden days ever return or are we buried deep in the equivalent of a music dark-age...?

The Hindley Street Country Club is an Adelaide band. They showcase some of Adelaide's best musicians. The bass player is Macedonian and one of the two founders of the band. A cousin of mine. You will not be disappointed with any of their songs. They are set for major worldwide success and the internet made it happen. Incredible.

Just one song, but any song they cover is incredible:

I like this...a really honest cover

I agree on the Yamaha stuff. Nippon Gakki, Red Label stand out. I'd also include USA made Peavey products along with them for overlooked less expensive gear.
. The bass I'm referring to is an BB1100S. Featured in a link or 2 upstream in the thread from some old post of mine. (Still no live music going here or I'd plug them again LOL)
I'll post something else in a few days as well.

That's good too!
(And a different Yamaha BB bass)

I think good music exists still. (Definitely not found easily though)
But it will never be like the golden days. Musicians were searching for something new and constantly trying to find unique sounds and rhythms.

New popular music doesn't even change tempo and most popular songs even follow the exact same chord structure. It is truly pathetic and bland.

But in the darkest of times, there is always hope!

In contrast with the Russians, the Adelaide musos are actually playing live in their videos. Even songs I don't particularly like are refreshing to hear when performed by them.

It's all in the marketing!
My best Stratocaster guitar is not even made by Fender. It is a Momose.
This is the guitar:

I loved the HSCC's cover of Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition' - but there was something missing...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbPq-_DmT6g

Then I remembered...Stevie had Ron Jeremy on trumpet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDZFf0pm0SE

Risto, seeing the 'hedgehog' is facing 200 odd years in jail, there could be an opening for you...

Evh

Yeah, a bit of a subdued version. But, they made it their own kind of thing. After watching it, Youtube served me up this version by some brilliant guitarists:

Dear Lord, they are brilliant.

On Ron Jeremy, it is indeed a tragedy to be remembered solely for your sexual exploits. It has been a curse of mine also for decades. I know the same issue impacts upon you as well, but I feel there is a clear distinction between us as your sexual encounters are limited to other creatures of the animal kingdom.

This is great fun if you persist through to the guitar solos. Three different takes on the Stairway to Heaven solo finishing up with Eric Johnson giving it a go. Jimmy owns it in my opinion but you could feel the other dudes thinking things through,

No doubt. My Telecaster is MIM so to some not a "real" Tele.
Momose looks nice. I see where the factory is....explains much. Did you order Belgium or Japan?
Godin out of Canada is a solid midpriced brand. They make Seagull acoustics as well. They make an electric series called the session that seems perfect for bring one guitar or a solid studio change up. I like the the desert blue and sunburst sessions.

One of the best for sure. The tributes will be rolling in.
I have have their last bar gig on digital if anyone needs it. It's out there it you do a search as well.

Here's the latest uploads from my favorite local Macedonian axe weilder

This is all acoustic instruments. The imbibing is evident in the timing, but it's "authentically" live.

This a blues based rock thing. Likely the best lead tone this Macedonian maestro ( lol) has recorded yet. If you want to skip to the solo and outro it's the 3:30 mark and 4:50.
