    I used to go barhopping in the late 80's early 90's, witnessed the whole "glam band" Poison, motley crue thing. Ever see the bar band scene in Wayne's world? yeah that whole thing. Saw trashy hair bands with guitarists that used 3 different digital delay pedals at the same time, cuz they couldn't play.

    So I learned to spot crappy singers and crappy guitarists.

    Here's a guy using echo or delay but it sounds interesting. He's got some twangy thing happening, almost like a sitar. A shit recording though. I think that's a Taylor guitar. I am REALLY wondering if he is using his fingers or if he has some sort of plastic picks on the ends of his fingers. Anyone know???

    Original Bobby Darin was good He died Dec 1973, knew he was dying when he sang this...wow.

    He's using reverb, not delay. You're right about the Taylor though, in one of his comments he revealed: "I was using my Taylor 314ce for that performance. I was using a SWR California Blond amp, and a bit of verb from a Behringer Virtualizer Pro DPS2024P through the effects loop."

    From about 1:12 you can see the white thumbpick, but it seems there are no picks on his other fingers, only moderately long nails.

    Has anyone here ever heard of a band called "The Best"?
    It is a band that had John Entwistle on bass, Joe walsh (Eagles) on guitar, also Jeff Baxter (Doobie brothers) on guitar and some other people...I have never heard of this band, here there are playing An Entwistle tune, Baxter does a decent guitar solo in it.

    And the basses he uses are sooooooo fuckin wicked. His whole house was full of vintage guitars....

    You sounded shy. But they were older :)

    Can hear you wanted to play, but you didn't. But that was a long time ago :)

    Look here: have your brother play drums, have 5 shots of vodka, and play :joystick:

    OK: Well, you know this :) BTW, always nice to hear that bass!
