clivem Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) As with everything, you need to take it all with a large pinch of salt. Is he 100% correct about everything.... Nope. Is he entertaining.... Hell, YES! Yes, his having a "dig" in the direction of Rics, pressed a few peoples buttons. But here's the thing..... I'm willing to listen to his thought on Rics.... Why? Because he spent his own money on one. Took it on the road, toured it. Therefore to me, his opinion is valid and has weight. YMMV. Whilst his approach to things setup and repair related, maybe at times, slightly "unconventional", I'm sure a lot of people who knew nothing about setting-up a guitar or bass, having watched some of his videos, know a great deal more about it than they did before, and have learned a few basics from him. And anyone who was doing what he was doing back in the day, gets my respect. Poodle perm, sprayed-on trousers and black P bass. LOL. If Dave's pressing your buttons, just watch a couple of mins of the VT mime-along to the song "Fortune Teller", [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF4acu5Xgv8]Diamond "The Hardest Rock On Earth"[/url]. After which, you won't care about all the "verbal" stones he's lobbing at your precious Ric! And for me. it's kinda cool that he still gets out and plays, when he's not in the basement "gooching" guitars and doing his special effects day job, most recently on the second season of The Expanse, IIRC. (Albeit, minus the dodgy hair and slinky strides. ) I think the most recent video of him playing was back in 2014 when he was gigging with Luke and The Apostles, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3RX9FYnnKI]Luke & The Apostles-Tika[/url].

LeftyP Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I've tried to watch some of his videos but can only tolerate about a minute of them because of his camera work. I am susceptible to motion sickness and his hand held camera swaying about causes nausea very quickly. Tripods should be compulsory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been watching more of his videos recently and his disdain of Rickenbacker and StewMac is pretty humourous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Billford Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) I just wonder how many drinks he has before recording, the one on Rickenbacker he seemed hilarious YL inebriated Edited September 14, 2020 by Jack Billford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
