Yup. I liked the Black Album. But Load/ReLoad? Eh. Okay. St. Anger? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?!
OMG..Don’t Cry ..Slash joined the Magnatone’s.

Back in 1986 I played Boston's Rock and Roll Band and Kiss' Detroit Rock City in my first "battle of the bands" contest. We were not very good.

I should add, my first concert ever was KISS, so there's that!
Went with the same older cousin and had an absolute blast (13 yrs old, Crazy Nights tour in Toronto, blew my mind).
My first "I need this album or I am going to die" experience was with a Kiss Alive II 8 track
purchased from a Sears. I begged my very upstanding Christian Grandparents to buy it
for me. I am pretty sure I know what they were thinking.
They did. And then that night I begged to sleep in the living room next to the console
stereo they had and fall asleep with headphones on listening to it.
Oh, and Black Diamond.

For me the makeup and stage antics were not what I was drawn to---even as a kid. It
was the twin guitars, the harmony lines, and the vocals. Even live the backing vocals,
the trading of verses and harmony were captivating to me. I still prefer bands to this
day with multiple lead singers that can also support and sing harmony. There just
wasn't a lot of that in Rock Music at that time. You had big voiced front men carrying
the load, but bands with more than one lead singer and killer harmonies were still
pretty rare.

You need to have that beauty out all the time!Well, one thing this thread has made me do is get out this badboy again (largely the Ace talk, not Slash, funny enough)…

I’ve been in PRS DC 594 land for about 3 months, but man, there is NOTHING like a great Les Paul. Nothing.

Sounds decent enough. Not what they want for one, but still decent. I'll wait until Fractal models it. Lol

sounds good, but not $4900 good IMO. For years, there have been many Slash type players getting the same sound for a lot less.
Who is this made for, collectors or capturers?

The whole thing is weird to me. They've resurrected this brand, but they're not reissuing any of the original amps. The Magnatone 280 was all over records in the late 50s and 60s - Buddy Holly, Lonnie Mack, all of the San Francisco bands. I can see that they've created some derivative models, but it doesn't seem to be the main focus of the brand. It's like if Vox went out of business for 30 years and came back pushing Diezel copies. "AC30? Never heard of it!"
