My friend sent me an advance copy of the new Bettie Serveert. So far I'm not liking it nearly as much as Log 22. This one seems more mellow and the lyrics are not very good. Anyone else heard the new stuff?
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Talk of the Nation is interested in having us on for the new book. It's a national call-in show, and we'd be fielding questions and playing records we discuss in the book.

Awesome, David. You'll have to let us know when, if you do get on.

Excellent news, if it comes off!!! Good luck on that.
Do you think they'll find it strange when so many questions are addressed to "Manservant Hecubus" and "drindl boy"?

Congrats on the publicity, Hec!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Guitar World names 100 Worst Riffs and Solos.
He may be known for his over-the-top antics but Poison guitarist C.C. DeVille has another claim to fame: his "Guitar Solo" has been named the worst of all time by Guitar World magazine.
The magazine selected the "100 Worst Riffs, Licks & Solos of All Time," identifying ones that are "lazy," "boring," "just plain stoopid," or "involve C.C. Deville."
The list includes songs by David Bowie, Def Leppard, Metallica, Green Day, B.B. King, The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith and The Strokes, among others.
Many are guitar legends who simply had a bad night or bum note.
Guitar World describes DeVille's nine-minute solo "completely devoid of taste, structure or steady tempo" and recommends every budding guitarist listen to it because "surely, they can't do any worse."
DeVille was also cited for his "Cherry Pie" solo when he played with Warrant and Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn."
The magazine recommends DeVille "take solace in the fact that he's in some rather good company."
Rounding out the top 10: "Summertime Blues," Blue Cheer; "The Game of Love," Carlos Santana; Falstaff beer 1967 radio spot, Cream; "All You Need is Love," The Beatles; "Thirsty and Miserable," Black Flag; "Wango Tango," Ted Nugent; "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," Rolling Stones; "Sting of the Bumblebee," Manowar; and "American Woman," Lenny Kravitz.
The list appears in the magazine's December issue.

"All You Need is Love" had a prominent guitar part? There may have been a riff in there somewhere, but I sure as hell can't remember a solo.

It was so bad that they edited it out.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

There's one really twangy bit where George plays the melody, and it eventually gets swallowed by the strings. Yup, it's pretty bad.
