Yeah that was pretty cool.EricFundingsland wrote: Sat Jun 26, 2021 9:04 pm A youtube comment on my film pointed me in the direction of this. Hits on several of the same themes as mine. The band seems a bit twee for my tastes, but the heart is there, for sure.

Not semi hollow, completely hollow. It's an ES-295; basically an upgraded ES-125TDC, but full thickness (I think Gibson did actually make some ES-125DC guitars, but don't quote me on it) with a gold finish and some other cosmetic niceties. I've never played a 295, but I have a 125TDC and it's a fabulous, functional guitar. I love it for the same reason Geordie likes the 295 - it has the aggressive girth of a P90 electric but the dynamics and response of an acoustic.penningtron wrote: Mon Jun 28, 2021 10:57 amUgh yes. I'm a somewhat recent convert to KJ's music but yeah much of this documentary undid a lot of that. Jaz seems like he would be insufferable to be around.Otto Parts wrote: Mon Jun 28, 2021 10:28 am Also recently on Prime I saw a KIlling Joke doc called "The Death & Resurrection Show" which was somewhat interesting but it was mostly about how crazy and into weird mystical stuff the band members are. I wanted to hear more about how they made their music.
BUT, there's an excellent scene where Geordie.. lemme back up to say that basically any guitar player I respect thinks extremely highly of his parts and overall guitar sound.. is asked about his guitar at the kitchen table and reaches over to grab his one and only semi-hollow Gibson which I think is just leaning against the fuckin' wall to comment about it. That guitar will probably end up in a museum one day yet he's not precious with it at all.
It’s a great doc, whether you like them or not. I watched this awhile back with my mom, who couldn’t give a shit about Rush or their music. She actually enjoyed it.jason from volo wrote: Mon Jul 12, 2021 4:05 pmI grew up listening to this band so nothing can change the fact that their music is totally ingrained in my brain, but yes, the fact that Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson in particular seem to be really cool and funny guys endears me more to them. (Neil seems like someone who... maybe... would have preferred to be left alone.)tonyballz wrote: Mon Jul 12, 2021 3:29 pm It's a relief to find that the members of Rush are regular goofball Canucks with the ability to laugh at themselves and their position in popular culture.
I'll definitely watch the doc. Thanks for posting.
Seriously. So Jaz likes magic and crystals? KJ is one of the greatest bands ever and stayed vital long after their peers. Connelly was in Revolting Cocks.AdamN wrote: Tue Jun 29, 2021 9:05 pmI remember when reading Chris Connelly's memoir that whenever he mentioned KJ's visits to Chicago, he would refer to them as if they were flaky idiots. Eh, Chris, your meal ticket is a bunco artist that heavily ripped off KJ as well a FM's influential band.M.H wrote: Tue Jun 29, 2021 1:21 pmThe KJ doc was ok, nothing I didn't know as a mega fan, but interesting enough. They all practice(d) magic and have quite pragmatic attitudes, so it's a decent showing of their core dichotomy - understandable that this may seem laughable to some.AdamN wrote: Tue Jun 29, 2021 9:32 amI think he has a back-up old Gibson hollow body as well, but don't quote me on it.
