I've had a '65RI Mustang on the brain lately. Thanks for the the links and songs posted. Bought some new tunes, too.

I like how disastrous this thread is turning out to be for Johno. I eagerly await his "Alright love, when's it due?" howler.

"Hello Gorgeous. Hello Joyce." is a personal favourite from my friend greeting two colleagues.

You know, I saw medicine like 3 times and I am not convinced he knew how to play live very well but he seemed quite adept at making noise, just throwing that tidbit out there. She definitely knew how to wail though. I consider this guy to be a lesser lee ranaldo.

They were definitely no Swervedriver.

I have only heard them recorded, I wish I could have seen them. I think he was going for something less SY, more wall of noise guitar squall with a good beat behind it, oh and he played a Mustang.

he also played a beater strat.

FUARK. I absolutely love that.

Rundgren has used them quite a lot thru the years....

think he used one to record 'Death of Rock and Roll' off the utopia Initiation album....

That is some SERIOUS jangle. The bass is even jangly.
