The Beatles - Caught On Tape! (1963-1969) (Released)
Time

Hi RedFive! When you say you have the 'complete discography' does that include the 'mono' albums? If not, I would absolutely recommend the mono "pepper' and "white album". I would also recommend "The John Barrett tapes" as 'core', and I know you said you don't want anything 'repetitive' but "It's not too bad" is one of my all time favorites (it's pretty much the complete evolution of Strawberry Fields Forever from the Santa Isabel demos, to home demos to multiple takes at Abbey Road. It's arguably the most enlightening Beatles disc I have ever heard)

David Bowie

The man can spot an incredible guitar player from a mile away!  He's ALWAYS had amazing players. I saw the Sound and Vision Tour years ago, and was thinking "no way is this guitarist gonna be as good as Mick Ronson"...  it was Adrian Belew, and I ate my words first song into the show :-D

Quick question - why does R2 look black-and-white in some space scenes?  I thought it was an error on the print until I confirmed it in Adywan's reconstruction.

I think the "blue" model conflicted with the bluescreen backgrounds.  Like the tv weatherman who wears a blue tie and suddenly has a map of Iowa projected onto it :-)   I'm open to being corrected.

Bit of a Tele snob.

Nice!  I've been playing for 20 years and own several different guitars and basses, but my 'Seafoam Green' 1994 American Tele is the third love of my life, just slightly behind my wife and daughter ;-)   I've fronted several bands over the last 15 years, although with a 15 month old baby I'm now finding it difficult to continue to play clubs.  Something about getting home at 3:30 am and having a baby waking up at 5:30 am isn't conducive to good mental health :-(

Musical influences?  I'm a crazy huge Beatles fan, and that comes through in my songs.  Guitar influences?  I love Andy Summers, Adam Jones (Tool), Joey Santiago (The Pixies), Jonny Greenwood and Randy Rhoads. David Gilmour is my biggest guitar influence though, I wish that would come through in my playing :-P

That very well maybe true, and I hope it is! But, how many doctors and "experts" claimed for nearly 50 years that "there is no proof that smoking causes cancer" (the answer is LOTS.) Again, just because there is no proof now, doesn't mean there could not be in the future.  No one should dismiss it out of hand.  There are just too many cases like this...
