When I see young people enjoying my music, it tells me they are true music lovers. I love all types of music too, so I get it. The people that hate when you react to classic rock have closed minds.

    1992 in Irving Tx. 32 Russian Pilots were staying at the hotel I was working at. They spoke very little english. MTV was on in the lobby and this video came on. OMG it was as though Heaven had opened up. Each and everyone of them knew this song word for word without knowing the meaning of the words. This was a priceless blackmarket piece of music in their country of Azerbaijan. They were glued to every single minute and most had tears streaming down their faces. Their wildest dream had come true to actually see the band they had loved so much. Its a moment in time I'll never forget. The Eagles had fans that they never even knew about!

    When the Eagles broke up & many pursued solo careers one of them was asked when they'd get back together and tour & he replied "when hell freezes over" - a decade later, despite many of them hating each other, they announced the "Hell freezes over" tour. I was an event emergency medical technician working big fairs & shows - and was standing just off stage for the first show - it was pretty incredible.

      What the haters fail to realize is that almost none of the thrash metal musicians they love were influenced by thrash metal growing up. Chronologically it just wasn't possible - the genre didn't exist yet. A ton of them were actually influenced by classical music, and I can guarantee you none of the haters are listening to that! But their music idols are... 😜

    That way, you have a 12 string and a 6 string in 1 guitar!

      Another interesting note that most people don't realize when they see/ hear a guitar harmony is that it's not two guitars playing the same part together. It's one guitar playing the melody and the other playing the harmonies of that solo, usually on the third or fifth notes.
      Much more complicated than people think.

      Live too and Led Zeppelin Live with Stairway to Heaven at Madison Square Garden 1973 I believe one is best and some better quality same concert. One by Elvin Bishop's group where Mickey Thomas actually sang lead with Reni Slais.... THEY KILL IT together with Evin on guitar. The New * Fooled Around and Fell in Love "Live" 4K version. It was from 1976 and this one is Ai remastered.... vs others. Some even say it was 77 or 75. The version with Reni with Mickey and PERFECT LIVE.
