Anne Murray could teach these head bangers a thing or three about melodies.

 

Great Canadian from the Maritimes

 

 

 

First memories were of her on the CBC, black and white TV with eye-patched Gene MacLellan (scared the heck out of me) and Ian and Sylvia

Can you elaborate on the black magic sound you brought up? 

For one Jimmy Page bought Aleister Crowley's Boleskine mansion and they recorded there.  Crowley practiced black magic there prior.  Jimmy Page was heavily interested in the occult

BTW Zepp still rocks.  I have been listening to them 40 years, they still sound great

Nice! The blue steel Les Paul is gorgeous. I've got a Deluxe Sunburst Strat very similar to yours. 

We need a pic of your pedal lineup next!

No problem on Jimmy's side interests in that area

 

as for the music, it's hard to prove anything

 

of course anyone involved denies it is there and laughs it off, which is fine....

 

 

British eccentricity is a well honed lifestyle

Nice!  My son's first amp was a little 30w Line 6 (bought the amp and a Squier Vibe Series Strat for $300 out the door - that Strat sounds just as good and stays in tune better than my buddy's American Fender Strat and my Mexican).  When I knew he was serious about playing, I got him a Peavey 6505+ 112 Combo, which is 60 watts all tube (LOUD).  One of his Christmas presents this year was a Celestion V-30 speaker for that amp.  He's a metal head.  But he plays some sweet blues, too.  There's weekly blues jam at a local tavern.  I brought him there to jam with the big boys and he held his own.  So I got him a Fender Blues Jr. - 12 inch speaker, 15w tube.  That amp smokes!!

 

Squire Strats and Celestion speakers get a lot of bad press, which I simply don’t agree with. My Squire Strat sounds perfect and keeps in tune too, and I have a double stack Celestion cabinet system I run my Travler 2000 from Earth Sound Research* amp though. Sounds fantastic!

My Squire tele is a 5 string, Open G set up ala Keef. The Stones  repertoire lives there.

 

*Cool story behind the company. 2 guys -1 from Fender, 1 from Marshall created the company intent on combining the best of both amps. Hugely successful early on, they were sued into oblivion soon after by their former employers and forced to shut down. I’ll play mine til it dies. Here’s one quick story http://www.pedalhaven.com/history-earth-sound-research-amplifiers/

I'll check this out tonight, thanks for sharing!  Sounds similar to a couple Marshall guys creating Blackstar.

 

Re: Squiers, there are different levels, with Affinity being the lowest and the Vibe Series being the highest (which I'm sure you know).  It's his first guitar and he's gotten others since; but he'll never get rid of that one!

@TheElectricCompany, it’s currently in a retooling phase -much like the Bills.. The little black Danelecto ‘Black Coffee’ isn’t for the faint of heart..

I'll take a pic of my son's pedals.  I think I see a DS-1 and a Big Muff in there.  He has a nice collection of 80s silver screw Boss pedals (including the DS-1).  He loves the Big Muff and uses it playing bass all the time, as well as with guitar.  I am loving this thread.

@Gugny & @Chandler#81

 

Just curious - a friend is Lindy Fralin and wondered if you (or your son) use his pickups?

https://www.fralinpickups.com/

Lots of well-known guitarists have purchased his hand-wound pickups. I was with him when Derek Trucks called with a free ticket to Lockn Fest to meet with him when he was playing there.

 

My son's strat has the Fender pickups it came with.

He has two Schecters, both have EMG pickups.

He has one Ibanez, which has Ibanez Infiniti pickups.

All but the Strat are active.

 

That is super cool about your friend, by the way!

I know they’re very popular and highly recommended, but no, I don’t have them. I tried all my guitars out before purchasing them to assure they fit and sound great -and many others I put back. To me, when it sounds and fits great, that’s mine, even if it immediately goes into another tuning. Fender & Gibson have the best sounds right out of the box, so I don’t mess with perfection.

i have a couple Epiphones which have a softer, sweeter sound, so I don’t mess with them either. The black Epi LP is also dramatically tuned to Eflat minor. Strum the opening riff to Jumpin’ Jack Flash and you know immediately why.

The night of his car crash, a crazed fan was in the hospital waiting area beside Robert, and the fan serenaded him with a horrible rendition of The Ocean for a long time....

The only good song on Presence is Achilles Last Stand. It's in my top 5 Zep songs. 

 

 

Whattttt some of the their best grooves are on presence! And that’s not including Achilles imo. Overrated song. 

 

However, Nobody’s fault but mine is an absolute stomper. For your life is heavy too. 

 

Royal Orleans, ‘oh baby babbbeehhh’ how can you not sing along to that or the part in hots for nowhere where plant goes ‘la laaa laaa la la la laaaaa yeahhhhhhh’
