Poppa ... Tell Us A Story

[Quarter]

Thanks BP, that is a killer story

Now the Albert Story
When Dudley made me that Axis prototype that is the one on the cover, Albert played our company Xmas party and I showed him my Xmas present and he fell in love....I said "Its yours now" That is how the Albert lee guitar came about.

BP, for the record, what year was that please?

Great story. Had to laugh about Albert sleeping on your mams couch

 

[roburado]

Wow, BP. Thanks for sharing.

 

[threeminutesboy]

Wow, BP. Thanks for sharing.

[PugNinjas]

Great tales in both respects.

I read that article and couldn't believe how anti EVH it was.....


The Albert Lee story is a classic and makes this company what it is...A LEGEND

I bet the story behind JP's guitar isn't nearly as interesting.

I was at the NAMM show gig and maybe I was a bit tipsy, but what I remember was some of the most awesome guitar playing ever from all the participants.

Thanks for the stories BP

The funny thing is that I was cleaning out a closet in Slo and found the board mix cassettes from the NAMM show gig....what are they worth?..and EVh sucked sorry to say

 

[Big Poppa]

I also have a four track demo made at the Fun ranch in SLo of EAd composing 316...is that worth anythin? Its Eddie and I playing it. How about a rough mix of Pleasure Dome with me on the original track playing the bass track.... ihad Ed wipe it as I didnt want Mike to get upset...(he couldnt play the part) Eddie ended up playin the bass on the real track but he did on many of Vh stuff..Mikey doesnt want people to know it but EVH played more bass than you guys know.... Also Luke sang on eight of the Vh records without credit

Keep it, don't worry about putting that on ebay, people got enough of his sh!tty playing in the 2004 tour. I hope l don't open up a big can of worms by saying that. hehe

BP i would send a contract signed in blood..well maybe not blood but with the full written consent that i agree to justice by the "Vinnies" if i ever leaked a copy pf the recording but man, that'd be a great listen!!! You on bass and Ed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as for Luke on vox on VH...man, every day brings even more reason to love Lucious

and the hi-tops, ya, charity would be noble and great but if they're a size 10 - 10 1/2 ...... I'd wear them with glee and a mantra of good will,praise,and karma to you 24/7
