Sorry for the derail. Fresh porn for anyone interested.
Blues Jam is really good if you get that far.
And he does Black Star of course.

Yea, this. Good attenuators are worth the cost.Get a Waza or something to keep the volumes sane Mikey.
I prefer the Pro Jr. A bit less bassy, but it cut even better than Blues JR. Loudest 10 inch amp ever heard! Cover 100+ venues with level on 2...I almost exclusively use tube amps into a load box or a speaker in an isolation box or room. I finished updating the Blues Jr. today. Probably one of the quieter tube amps made. For yucks I decided to compare it with it's built-in speaker to the Axe-Fx through monitors. All knobs on noon except MV at 3ish.
Holy carp!!! I'd forgotten just how loud even a lowly Blues Jr. can get. And that's with the MV pretty low.
They're actually pretty decent little amps and sound great when cranked.
Here it is!Pete also had permanent hearing damage in one ear because Keith Moon put too much gunpowder in his kick drum for an exploding drum gag on the Smothers Brothers Show and Pete was standing in front of it when it went off.
It's an act. It's no different from theatrical candy glass stunts onstage in a play.Interesting juxtaposition how Moon and Townsend are destroying everything, yet John Entwistle is over there cradling his bass like it's a baby bird. I've never understood the whole breaking your instruments thing. Waste of perfectly good gear.

It's crazy what you could get away with back in the day. The worst thing that probably happened after that was the producer yelled a lot at their manager and he just shrugged and said "rockstars eh? What can you do?"Yep that's the one. Pretty stupid. Leave the pyrotechnics to the experts boys and girls! They're lucky that drum hardware didn't end up in somebody's neck or head.
Oh yes.It's crazy what you could get away with back in the day. The worst thing that probably happened after that was the producer yelled a lot at their manager and he just shrugged and said "rockstars eh? What can you do?"
That suit! Damn that is epic!+1 - it's all art, including the guitar smashing
Look at John Entwistle, using up all that electricity - very wasteful - lol!

Oh I fully get the entertainment aspect of it. Rock Stars have to rock star and all. I just hate to see good gear get trashed, especially considering what some of that gear would be worth today. $$$It's an act. It's no different from theatrical candy glass stunts onstage in a play.
