Who do you wish played EBMM

[Steve Dude Barr]

Just put some EB socks in your speedos

But I haven't worn actual "socks" in years....

I think any artist that plays strats, teles, or super strats needs to try an EBMM. If they still chose to play something else then they are not a good choice for EBMM. I mean do we really want dumb asses playing EBMM on TV. I thought that market was cornered by Blender. Well I think we are all safe as long as I dont show up on TV.

Tim Armstrong

 

[bovinehost]

From Wikipedia:

"Tim has never had a drivers' licence (due to dyslexia), nor a bank account. He also overdosed twice in his younger years and recovered fully both times. The distinctive way that Armstrong sings with the slur is due to his overuse of alcohol during his teenage years. Although sober now, but he still carries that unique and captivating accent with him."

Tim Armstrong

AMEN Senior Jon ... you guys gotta make a hollowbody tho. he's all about that Gretsch. Ive read that besides his old acoustic from the OPIV days thats the only guitar that "feels right" to him ... tho i have seen him play an SG. Tim can play that skank like nobodies business tho. last time i saw them live he went into a skank part in between one song and into an other and i was lovin how cleanly he was playing the "un da, un da - du dun da" he's the man

I'd love to see Billie Joe Armstrong playing an EBMM. He's a total LP Junior guy now but i can imagine an Axis w/ 1 MM90 in the bridge, hartail w/ Peizo. I bet he'd dig that ... covers the LP junioir thing and the Peizo would help him out cuz he plays some acoustic on the tunes from the last 2 albums. maybe he wouldnt dig the small neck tho.

ive got a good buddy that was the singer of band Tim was in about 18 years ago now ... some may know who im talkin about. anyways - this friend of mine's told me abuncha cool stories about "life with Tim". Tim's an interesting feller ... and a mad scientist songwriter. he's a badass

Jon do you have the Hellcat DVD? you should check it out. its sweet. has a bunch of live Rancid clips, Joe Strummer donig Rudie Can't Fail, many other Hellcat bands and some cool behind the scenes footage - my favorite is Tim Armstrong doing OPIV's Warning unplugged while Davey from AFI sings. If you dont buy it i can bring it to ya at open house and u can mail it back when you're done checkin it out

Arin..I would love to check that out..Thanks for the offer! A buddy of mine from work(Thanks Mario!) turned me on to a band call The 101'ers It's Joe Strummers band right before the Clash(the only band that mattered)..It's almost like 60's british pop stuff with joe singing.

Ive heard of the 101ers but never heard their stuff. They were mentioned in a Clash documentarty called Westway to the World. I have that too and can bring it along if you wanna check it out.

Also Joes last band on Hell Cat had a couple AWESOME songs: Coman Girl and Get Down Moses being my fav's.

fuggit ...

ON THE ROUTE OF THE 19 BUS!

here's to ya joe!

 

[Norrin Radd]

How about Nuno? That guy is a freakin' animal on the guitar!

 

[cbpmmjp05]

what the f is he wearing?

I don't know. I'm trying to ignore it in the hopes that it will go away.

Anyway, who would I like to see playing a EBMM? Well, I'm not sure about anyone elese, but I would like to see me playing more of them. Especially a couple of Sparkles. As far as anyone else, I'm I the only one that could see David Gilmour plaing a Silo? Seriously, I would love to see Gilmour play a Silo. I think that guitar was made for him. Other players on my list include:

Alex Lifeson - Silo
The Edge - Silo
Paul Gilbert - Petrucci hybrid
Steve Wilson - Silo
Jim Matheos - Petrucci
Trey Anastasio - Silo
Adam Jones - His own Signature model.

C'mon BP, lets get these guys on the roster.

 

[Oldtoe]

You guys need to send Geddy Lee a black, HH Bongo or Sterling.

Hee! Cool!!

Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar - Green Day)

i found out at their concert last night that he's getting his own sig. Gibson

 

[Junior Luke]

hepp

So i have a lot of musicians and bands i love but not all of them play EBMM guitars/basses. I thought it would be fun to see which artists we all would like to see playing our fav. instruments.

So here's a few folks off the top of my head:

Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar - Green Day)
Jake Kiley & Jordan Burns (the two guitarists from Strung Out)
Matt Freeman (bassist - Rancid)

what about.......eh.....Spice Girls....hahaha!!!! OH MY GOD!!

 

[Sigmunds Couch]

Alex Lifeson does play an Axis Super Sport. If you watch the special features on the Rush in Rio DVD. There are shots of him in the pratice room warming up for the show on it.

 

[heath_the_great]

me



Hub - The Roots
Meshell Ndegeochello
Jack Daley - Joss Stone, Lenny Kravitz

 

[Lazybite]

Chris from Muse
Luke from Cog
Matt from OpIvy
No idea what the bassist from mudvayne plays but he should have one....

That'll do for now
