Frankly, I think his tone sucked. It came nowhere close to highlighting the thick tones that the JP can produce. It sounded thin and fizzy to me...

Mike

Yeah, I just watched that youtube video and I'd have to agree. What a disservice to two great companies (Bogner and EB). Also, I want the last couple minutes of my life back, poor, poor Zeppelin song... I'll remember you fondly.

You betchaaa!!! Now I gotta photoshop one with a JP..... Hahaha

My youtube feed is kinda fuzzy. Is that a BFR? ANyone make out what finish that is?

It wasn't a BFR - it was a standard JP6 with piezo, inlays, matching headstock, and it looked like pearl redburst, but I'm not 100% sure.

You really care what finish a pro on a TV show was playing . . . . huh?

On my system, the TV mix was ugly (and it's a good system). No real bottom end, and yes the Petrucci sounded nasty thin, but so do most things on that show.

Trying to resist commenting on Adam Lambert. If he learned the importance of phrasing, and dialed back on over-singing, could be a real talent.

Ah...you beat me to it. I was just typing a post. They gave him some pretty good air time! Too bad he was playing for that screamy, drama queen Adam Lambert....

Mike

Yeah! He should have been backing up the only real rocker on the show (Allison). I don't get the attraction to Adam at all.

THANK you! I am constantly being told I am alone in my dislike for Adam...

Every song is the same with him - drama. Screaming, whining, and incomplete words that end with his tongue hanging out. I was really sorry to see Allison go...

Yeah, Allison was by far my favorite.

I think about this sometime: I wonder how the results of those type shows might differ if they were radio shows where you couldn't see the contestants - you had to judge purely by sound....
