CONTEST TIME! Come to the DARKSIDE!

[roxynoodle]

I've played since '81. My best guitar was a Gibson SG Special in alpine white I bought in '83. My ***** ex husband hocked it!

I have:
Ovation Celebrity Deluxe
Burny SG copy, lawsuit, in alpine white of course
Dillion LP copy in blue curly maple
Cherry SG copy with P90s
Acoustic/electric 12 string
Beater acoustic for taking to other's houses

Mostly write my own songs but influenced by classic rock, especially the blues based guitarists.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

sounds like a nice collection roxy congrats

 

[Augmented Dog]

Nice, Roxy!
Classic rock and folk were my earliest influences. Love jazz and blues.
Most of what I play are my own songs, as well.
My Ovation is an older acoustic/electric (amplified acoustic?) Pinnacle with dark brown back, instead of black.
We should start a vaper's guitar porn thread on this site!

Look FTS,
I like you, but before we score the lyrics, I think they need a wee bit O'refining.

Yeah, it makes me think of Beat Poetry and all I can come up with would only work well with snapping.

 

[roxynoodle]

I'm pretty good with lyrics, but my singing voice, well, its not great. I have a deep voice for a woman. I'm one of those people that when heard singing people aren't sure if its a man or woman, lol! I'm in that indeterminate middle range.

 

[gotalotgoingon]

Old school Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Marilyn Manson, In ThIs Moment and many other bands of that genre. If it's not louder then the voices in my head then it's not being heard!

It was the meeting where they looked at how many records Shania Twain was selling and said "Lets do more of that!!"

I like the Robby Krieger shout out. He was a great player who doesn't get a ton of credit. Always liked his riffs.

EDIT: Wow did this thread go off course or what?
