1) Closest that you got to "making" it in an original band (if ever)? 2) What tribute band(s) do you enjoy playing w/ more than others? 3) Are pointy guitars really that cool? 1) I never aimed for music to be my job. Too hard to make money, and I started too late. I did some cool things with it, including having a song on the guitar hero that sold 30 million copies and recorded records and played shows. Was on some labels, but never the "Lets quit our jobs and make money on just music" ever.
2)
Like:
Judas Priest, cause I love Priest. But playing them all the time is dimming my excitement of the music! Manson, cause it's just really out there and the crowds really like it, and it's more then they were expecting, and everyone wants to take like 100 pix after the show, and that strokes the old ego. Motley, cause it's easy, fun, the most popular band i have, and the songs are fun to play
Middle Rammstein: Fun to sing in german, fun stageprops etc, I liked it a lot early on, but at the end, i was more "meh" on it. Sex pistols: Fun band to be in, but LA does not care about Pistols and most shows were not well received or attended!
Dislike: Misfits: Stupid songs, and getting into costume with the devillock hair extension and fauxhawk not fun Ramones - Ive done it since '00, so thats 23 years, which i believe, is the same length of the real Ramones career. I used to like it, and if the crowd is going ape it's fun, but now it's a slog, and we usually play at least 32 songs, so I find myself looking at the setlist, going "Okay, in 2 songs, we'll be halfway done". Our singer is moving away next month, and i think i'll put it to bed.
3) Yes, pretty much. My riffing on them all the time is mainly due to the fact that we're all ostensibly metalheads, yet all Sludgers own and play strats, Les Pauls or flametop carvins, shit like that. If you're so metal, why only buy/play boring guitars? Clearly Hetfield and his explorers/Vs always looks cooler than Hammet and his superstrats. I guess they're mostly bedroom players and want something that wont hurt their knee, I dunno. Also, not only should guitars look cool shapewise, they should also be white. White pops em off, when you play on stage.
I have these pointies:
2 white Gibson Vs KK Downing Hamer V
White Gibson Explorer BC Rich Mocking bird
TMI. And my LP sounds better than any pointy guit AND doesn't hurt my knees...

When you were on the road, did Jorge ever put “just the tip” in?

That body shape is all I've ever played so it's just normal to me. It's all I know. I love the feel of the neck on my Epi LP-100 and my Gibson Studio. And everyone who plays the Studio drops their jaw, regardless of amp. It's butter...

Did you ever tour in a bus? Saw a video where a gross looking drunk chick said she wanted to blow you. Did she get her wish? Do you ever pull any tail at your shows? Do Crat's teeth scrape your dick? 1. Yes. An old one, that broke down all the time. And we went under an overpass in chicago and sheared off the AC so we were without it for weeks and it was fucking hot as balls that summer. But as a taller gentleman, I think I'd rather do a 11 hour drive where I can stretch out on the couch, bunk, etc than 7 hours where youre crammed up in a car seat.
2. She did not get her wish. Others have. I have a collection of tour pix with groupies n shit, like a gene simmons jr. Recently, this hot fake tit milf at that northern ca show i played recently demanded me and the Tommy Lee guy tag team her post show, which I declined for multiple reasons- some being I was way too drunk to be able to perform, "Tommy" seemed to be getting really angry and threw his kick drum in the van rather roughly, since they were friends, and...... I remembered I had a gf.
3. Crat is tender and loving. You could stand to take a lesson, and it's mean you ran him off the boards.

Box is a weird term for pussy but I guess I can see where it comes from. I mean, you can put things in a box, like you can put things in a vagina. So why not? Still, I find it weird and I don't think I'm alone.

Should I invest my money in Firehouse or Slaughter records? Ron Burgunfeces answer was shit.
Pay no attention to what he advised.
Sink all of your retirement funds into both of them.
Buy up all of the Firehouse & Slaughter downloads from all of the online stores and then sell them at a higher price once you corner the Firehouse & Slaughter download market.
A much better investment than cryptocurrency.

1) Did you bang any social media influencers when you played Coachella?
2) Do you think your acting was better in the failed FOX pilot or when you were just standing in that hallway on Californication?
3) Did you get David Duchovny to sign an X-Files action figure or have any other interactions on set with him?
4) Was banging a member of L7 the pinnacle of your sleeping your way through Hollywood days?
5) Did you bang anyone else famous or kind of sort of almost famous?
6) Would you accept 3 snowballs, a hot potato and $5 for your Deathsquad Demongods publishing or do you think that is too much?
7) Do you look back with pleasure at any of your own perhaps painfully bad lyrics like "He smiled and looked back with schadenfreude"?
8) Bandcamp only has $12 small and large Deathsquad Demongods shirts listed as being available for sale. How long ago did you have them manufactured? Do you think you will be retired before you sell them all?
9) What's the coolest toy you ever had a part in designing, marketing or whatever the fuck else it is you do with kids toys?
10) Can you stick it to the man by stealing some Paw Patrol shit from your corporate overlords for my grandson?

You, sir, owe me for the cup of coffee I nearly sprayed on my laptop. Seriously, Did Crat really leave in a huff b/c Ech changed his profile pic/name? Or did he have a melt down. If so I didnt see it . Did you ever release anything as a 'pro' musician, on a label, etc? Please tell us name of band and album availability. (Never know, a certain Indiana redneck grease monkey may enrich you pockets By nuying a copy. (If it's not the weird shit Crat listened to)

Out of all your tribute bands, what's the largest sized crowd you've played in front of? i dunno, prolly a thousand, or maybe two. I actually played to bigger crowds at times with an original band, Van Stone.

TMI. And my LP sounds better than any pointy guit AND doesn't hurt my knees... Les Pauls sound so great! why do they play like shit? 2x4s with strings
All the good things about Les Pauls: Supposedly have great tone, but which you can get elsewhere Pagey and Ace and Slash look cool with them White ones look cool
All the bad things about Les Pauls: Giant fucking neck joint for no good reason You hit the body and neck joint at about the 10th fret Too thick and heavy Too overpriced (that's any gibson tho) Prides themselves on no innovation...ever Les pauls look ridic on the taller gentleman.Look at ol Scholz here. Looks like he's playing that goddamn thing EVH used on Little Guitars!

I don't know all the players from the various boards, but I'm under the assumption you are Huey Ramone? First question - why didn't you just use that name here and avoid confusion? Second - I'm not looking for personal information, but you've mentioned playing in bands, opening for other acts, etc. Have you shared songs or videos at the boards? Would like to check out if so; if not, of course I understand. Putting two and two together from the fitness thread, I thought perhaps you were Phil Collen, but I don't think that's it. Yes, but i'm not Hugey Ramone. That's PantsOnFire, doing his signature lying about who that one is.
First answer - I started out as Huey. But then IMS and Ech fought about weather the site's colors were burgundy or feces, and i changed it. Maybe i'll go back?
Second - Yes, i've shared vids sometimes. Heres some old stuff
Not bad.
