Classics Reborn

I do consider myself lucky. I don't like being cold and snow just sounds cold, I don't need to feel it.

Lol, it is cold. Thankfully it's more than half gone already. But it's going to be below freezing tonight. Hard to believe under a month ago it was warm and all the trees were green.

I can't remember the conversions but water here freezes at 0 and we've been getting nightly temps down as low as 4, but our days are getting warmer. If only the wind would fuck off so that the sun is more enjoyable. Even coming out of winter a lot of this country is still brown because so much of it is in drought

Not that we get snow in this area but we had a couple of mornings through winter that were below freezing and the water in the pipes froze but that was about it. Winter was kind of mild, there was cold days in it but I don't think we had as many as usual. They reckon we are in for a long hot summer and the highs will be very high with very little rain. We aren't too bad for water here but there are many places north of here that haven't had rain for 4 years and that is where much of our meat industry is.

Irrigation is a large part of it and many outback farms rely on large bores tapping into the underground water.

Haha how does the guy expect to be taken seriously with comments like that? He's gotta know such comments can only lead to people telling him he should practise because he's shit, or what he plays doesn't need practise. I'm pretty sure no one who reads the article will say "Geez this guy is such a legendary guitarist he knows so much he doesn't need to practise."

Oh man! You know there are going to be those people! lol! (Ace Rules!)
That answer is a loaded gun. Because that guy has been rehashing the same licks for...40 years? More? And he's sloppy at them!
I guess it is what it is :rolleyes:

Rehashing the same stuff might well be why he doesn't have to practise, but to admit that is just giving people a chance to shoot him down. He may as well have said he's the best guitarist in the world because he'd have copped just as much shit for such a comment.

I have before asked the question when do Marty and Nick stop being "ex-Megadeth Marty" or "ex-Megadeth Nick" because I think they have been out of the band long enough and done enough other stuff that they don't need the Megadeth name associated with them to be recognised. But to keep referring to Jake E Lee as former Ozzy guitarist is even sillier. He hasn't played with Ozzy for more than 30 years yet the opening line of this and most Blabber articles about him start out referring to him that way.

I don't understand why they do that either. Anyone into hard rock and/or metal for more than 10 minutes knows who Jake and all these other people are. I'm surprised they don't call Ozzy, current Ozzy Osbourne singer Ozzy Osbourne.
