mawalang galang na po... yes, jaco was killed by a bouncer but not because he tried to sneak into a santana concert.. its because he's drunk and making trouble inside a bar.. if m not mistaken.

Coz he is French

Steve Vai is a self-confessed "poser"... don't believe me? these are his exact words during a tour of his gears after showing his honeywell electric fan which he said he couldn't play without... in fact he said that he can play without his pedals and effects but not without his honeywell fan...

this is what he said:
"...it's all about looking cool when you're on stage right? c'mon now, you know that im a poser from wayback, so let's not kid anybody here...."

hahaha... still dont believe me? if you have the guitar world issue which featured Steve Vai and Joe Satriani on the cover, the cd-rom that comes along with that issue has a special on Steve Vai showing all his gear and setup when touring and playing on stage... its that magazine where Joe and Steve celebrate their 20 years of shredding the fretboard...

Epiphone Supernova
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Epiphone Supernova was a Korean-made electric guitar built for Noel Gallagher of the English band Oasis. Built to Gallagher's specification, the guitar features many elements similar to that of other Epiphone semi-acoustic guitars.

Design and sound
Featuring a double cutway design, the Supernova is reminiscent of other Epiphones such as the Epiphone Sheraton or Epiphone Dot guitars. The Supernova featured chrome hardware, including a stop bar tailpiece, humbucking pickups and tuners.

Featuring two Alnico 57 pickups, the guitar is tonally similar to the Sheraton and Gibson ES-335 guitars.

i know that brian may's red special was a project made by him and his dad.

everything from the pickups to tuning pegs and fretwires was made by mr. may and his son.

the body was even made from oak taken from a 500 yr old fireplace.

astig! tnx! more trivias!

i read this somewhere... as i remember...

yung wood galing sa fireplace mantle.

malaki yung neck kasi malaki yung kamay ni brian may.

yung pickups eh custom Burns pickups.

yung tremolo galing sa spring sa bicycle.

may 6 switches for on/off and phase on/phase off of each pickup.

also read somewhere na only after 20 or 30 years of continuous live and studio work, recently lang (as in late 90s ata or early 2000s) rinestore/ginalaw yung red special. may mga worm holes pa nga daw sa kahoy.

2 prominent musicians share similar names: dave evans (the edge of u2) and dave evans (formerly of acdc)

the edge is probably the guitarist who uses the most number of guitars in a show. now thats being very meticulous...or even oc in tone!

john mayer, most of the times, do not use the same guitar from one song to another (any given thursday). he did use the same type of guitar but not the ACTUAL guitar (his sunburst artist model). he swtiches guitars so the PAs can fine tune the guitar while John is busy detuning the other guitar in his hands as he bends them strings beyond legal bounds

from wikipedia...

Armstrong has stated that he is bisexual. In an interview with LGBT magazine The Advocate, he was quoted as saying, "I think I've always been bisexual. I mean, it's something that I've always been interested in. I think everybody kind of fantasizes about the same sex. I think people are born bisexual, and it's just that our parents and society kind of veer us off into this feeling of 'Oh, I can't.' They say it's taboo. It's ingrained in our heads that it's bad, when it's not bad at all. It's a very beautiful thing."
