Anyone make it to '03 NAMM?

[Coney]

Did anyone go to NAMM in Anaheim, CA? Rumor has it that Eddie VH might make a guest appearance at the Peavey booth...

[mmandy]

NAMM is only for people associated with the music Biz.

I went wehn I was working at Pasha Records back in 1990. A VERY cool time.

I'd love to go again ! I was like a kid in a candy store !! :cool:

I went to NAMM and it was amazing. I'll post a link to some pics within the next few days.

I posted a full review and link to pics at the Jackson forum. Enjoy!

VB, thanks for the pix. I thought I'd seen your moniker before in the Jackson forum.

I have the same CSB SL2H Metal Mike Chlasciak is shredding on. She's a beauty!

Have you seen these pixs? http://www.brooksguitarworld.com/namm03.html

Yeah, EVH showed up, he was saying he doesn't want to be "involved" w/ a group that's not permanent, (but what is these days) ? Eddie said they are looking for vocalist #4..Steve Lukather also showed up for the Music Man, and Ovation booth..-G-.
(I didn't attend the "show", but I dropped off some equipment, and the guys on the Receiving dock told me that)..-G-.

Nice pics, venomboy... thanks for sharing.
Nice post on the JCI as well....
I only have one comment:

PAUL STANLEY IS NOT A HOMOSEXUAL!!!


Coney-
you post on the JCI forum too?
Do you guys know bigneddi? aka Foolius Maximus?

[Venomboy]

Take my photo captions with a grain of salt ;)

I have heard some firsthand stories about Paul that do make me wonder though...

The things I heard about Eddie VH at the show...nothing positive. Mostly that he was drunk, stank, grunted, and was incoherent.

Yep, that's me on the Jackson forum as well.

Great shots Venomboy!!Thanks. Any clues as to who Buckethead Is? I've heard his tunes from other pojects, out side of GnR, prety damn cool stuff.

[Venomboy]

Buckethead's real name is Brian Carrol. I've seen him without his mask at a comic book convention and my friend has met him backstage and talked to him.

Thnaks V.B.

[mmandy]

there's a photo of him from high school at www.metal-sludge.com (http://www.metal-sludge.com)

it's in the "exposed" section.

(Cute fake pinky finger on the guitar to make it look like you can stretch 8 frets, buckethead.....) :rolleyes:

[Gbopdlux]

Heard one of my other fav picker/vox showed up for Gibson...Rick Medlocke-Blackfoot & Skynyrd fame, anybody talk to him and get the skinny?
I have never been to a NAMM show, can anyone get me a hookup for the one in Nashville this summer???

Working as a cashier at Tower Records doesn't count.

Usually, you need to have a record deal, work for a Record Company, work for a Manufacturer, or work at a Professional Recording Studio. Sometimes Radio station personell, and Recording School Students get in, too.

They are pretty tough to get into if you aren't one of the above.

[bassangel69]

did you see Michael Wilton from Queensryche there?

I think that Metal Sludge site is one of the lamest I've ever seen.

[Shirean]

I was there :) Went to the Sabian Nightime Show to see "Shape 68" Glenn Hughes (Ex Deep Purple),Jeff Kollman, Robin Di Maggio.

P.S. Nice pictures thanks for sharing them here's mine from the Sabian gig!
