We have this other topic, badass shit.
What's some badass shit that you bought
that's secretly in the back of your mind
you know you're not badass enough to own?
All right, for me, it's a Gibson Les Paul.
All right, badass shit I told my friend not to buy.
Dear Billy Gibson, in college,
there was a guy who played guitar in my hallway.
I play guitar too, so I had some insight
into my advice to him when he said
he was going to buy a double neck SG.
Don't get me wrong, I wanted him to get it
so I could play it occasionally,
but I knew it was a horrible purchase.
He was a pretty good guitar player.
He didn't suck, but he wasn't pushing virtuoso status
and wasn't about to change the game with the double neck.
I told him, in my opinion, it's a performance guitar
and really not fun to play in your room
and suggested he just get a 12 string.
In the end, he got it and it was a bust.
He played it at one open mic show
and it was kind of out of tune, brutal.
I played it a bit and it was cool.
He had fun with it too,
but mostly anytime I saw it in his room,
it was collecting dust
because it's not fun to play sitting down.
He sold it at the end of the year,
but didn't make, but didn't take much of a loss.
Eh, you know what?
But he can say he owned one, you know?
And he played it, you got to play it too,
so that's not too bad.
I had a 70 or a 71 Green Sparkle Ludwig kit,
all Bonham sizes with a Ludwig Speed King.
I did the whole Bonham thing and, you know,
I played it live at the fucking Roxy.
I had a fucking blast, but like,
I mean, the kit just wasn't me.
And I just ended up,
I had the Bonham cymbals,
the whole fucking setup.
And I just sold the whole thing.
And it was the best thing I ever did for my drumming
because I was really just going down a route
of like just being yet another ripoff,
you know, of John Bonham.
John Bonham didn't go out and fucking,
you know, start fucking,
oh, this guy played this.
Well, I mean, I guess everybody played Ludwig
back in the day,
but he got the kit that was right for him.
That's what you have to do.
But having said that,
it was fun to own the thing.
And, you know, having a double neck guitar
is pretty cool.
I'm immediately picturing the Jimmy Page one.
I always thought that that was sick.
And then there's a guy from Cheap Trick
where he had the most I ever saw
because then there was the triple guitar
and then there was four
and he had like a five or a six.
It was insane.
Like it started at like his chest
and went all the way down to his knees.
But anyway, yeah,
you probably gave him good advice.
But everyone, you're young,
you got to do something dumb.
Like buy an old muscle car
that needs a lot of fucking work
just to say you had one
and you don't have the money to fix it up.
Knowing in the back of your head
that it's going to break down
when you really need it.
But, you know, just to do it.
I say do it.
All right?
That's it, everybody.
Next Monday, we go back to the hour-long
Monday morning podcast.
Hopefully, I'll have figured out
my interface with my computer
and all of that shit
so I don't have to keep recording them
on my phone.
I am so fucking excited
that this movie is going to be wrapped
and I can start putting it together
because the performances in this movie
I think, you know,
are going to be great.
I don't want to talk too much shit
but I think I got a really good movie.
Well, so we shall see.
So that is it.
Enjoy the game tonight
between Kansas and North Carolina.
That is all.
And I will check in on you guys on Thursday.
OK.
