Any of you dudes get banned from TGP?..Why?

That may have been a good play a few years ago but there is so much drama and scamming going on there now I wouldn’t bother. I bought and sold a crap ton of gear there over the years but I don’t sell there anymore and I would be very wary of buying anything expensive there anymore.

I bought a Nordvang Triple Gain from someone with PayPal (NOT F&F). Went well, but that is the only thing. Thanks for the insight, though. I'm not sure what I'll do with all of the gear (pedals mostly) that I no longer use, though. I refuse to give Reverb my personal details, especially when I am also expected to pay income taxes on used shit I am losing money on.

It's part of it, especially with boomer blues, which is why older players repeat that line so much. If someone like Joe Bonamassa played a show with a $200 fender champion, he'd still blow the roof off the place. With that said, if Metallica or Blink 182 decided to use the insane mode of a line 6 spider to record a track, it would sound like absolute shit.
 
I have a couple of real life friends over at TGP. That’s the only reason that i went back. One asked why I just don’t make a new account and start over. I told him that i just didn’t value my membership there and it’s no loss. I can just chat with them via SMS text.

I go to one of my local guitar stores. And let them sell it via Reverb (or however they like). Yeah, I lose a 50 bucks or something but I have zero hassle.

Guitar Center would give me next to nothing, most likely. Where I lived in Washington, i had a store offer me something like $650-$700 for a VHT Sig:X because one had sold on Reverb for something like $1300-1400. I ended up selling it to a friend for $900 who still gets a lot of use out of it years later.

I'm sorry, but plight of a lot of guitar stores is their own doing.

Half their set-list remains Bon Scott tunes - and Axl Rose was able to do a couple that Johnson has never been able to.

As a teenager in Australia in the 70's Bon Scott rules forever. I saw them live at Gininderra High Scool and blew my tiny mind. As Brian himself has said, if you go into any pub in Australia and tell them AC/DC isn't really an Aussie band - good luck making out of the door alive! The band has discussed how strong minded Brian has had to be to remain the New Guy all these years.

Apart from Back in Black, there are a couple of songs but no real albums for me. YMMV.

Your brain stops liking new music after your mid 20's. It's just what happens. You feel the way you do because of science.

ACDC is half 70's and half 80's/early 90's. That's why the set list is half Bon and half Brian. After the Razors edge, ACDC was no longer relevant beyond touring. Both singers have 2 great albums and several great singles on less popular albums. Of ACDC's top 10 biggest songs, Brian has 5 of them to according to the numbers. Not bad for the "new guy."

I started liking Choral music, Opera and Medieval Chant in my 40's. I hated it before that. I have studied the philosophy of scientific method and I fail to see how a method of logical progression from hypothesis to thesis to theory based on evidence and demonstration means I prefer Bon Scott Akka Dakka to Brian Johnson. I think geography and cultural immersion in Oz while they were on the rise has more to do with it.

I now like the Masses and other music of Hummel, which I had never heard until a few years ago. The same is true for many of the CD's I listen to by Classical composers other than Mozart, Haydn and CPE Bach. The symphonies of Louise Farrenc, for instance.

10 years of Bon, 40 of Brian. Half the set-list is Bon. And there are still rumours about how much of Back in Black Bon wrote, given the royalty checks to his family recieve.
