OMG! I thought the 17-guitar vault was cool… and it was, until JB revealed that he tours with a REAL 1959 Les Paul.
Special thanks to Fret12.com for these awesome videos!
How many times does the average American hear the “The Star Spangled Banner“…in their lifetime? Several thousand I suppose.
So tonight I went searching for the most ripping-electric version (outside of Jimi’s famed Woodstock classic) that I could find on YouTube and here it is in all it’s glory – Jimmy Thackery from 1997 in Seattle with an awesome version of Red House thrown in for good measure at the end.
Enjoy!
PS – Got a video version you like better? Let me know about it!
POST UPDATE:
Cry Baby: The Pedal That Rocks The World, is a documentary film that tells the story of the wah wah effect pedal, from its invention in 1966 to the present day.
Musicians, engineers, and historians discuss the impact of the pedal on popular music and demonstrate the various ways it has been used, as well as how its evolution has improved the ability of artists to express themselves musically. The film features interviews with Brad Plunkett, the inventor of the pedal, plus many other musical luminaries such as Ben Fong-Torres, Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Buddy Guy, Art Thompson, Eddie Kramer, Kirk Hammett, Dweezil Zappa, and Jim Dunlop. These professionals explain how a musical novelty transcended convention and has become timelessly woven into the fabric of modern pop-culture.
The entire documentary is now available. Watch the full movie below:
