Brush!!!, I handed Paula Abdul her Ski Poll after she dropped it, only seconds befor the chairlift whisked her away from it. That's just a little more than a Brush! :P

But while we're at it, I also met Ken Gradney from Little Feat after a Show in a Sabulba Indian Casino. He's a real down to earth guy, with fingertip calusses the size of Granny Smith Apples.

I remember seeing Cheap Trick before they were good enough to be a Cheap Trick. They opened for another loser act called the Fabulous Poodles at the Tower Theater in Philly. Thank god the headliner was a young band called Heart. At least they rocked the house.

I've also been to Abbey Road studios, but that was during the film festival and the only time it's been open to the public, so nothing big :) :(

I'm playing with the guy that own the black/rosewood VG Strat that Greg Koch played during the Scandinavian VG introduction tour
I've played an Jazzmaster that belonged to Kurt Cobain while wearing his white sunglasses, and played one of Les Pauls own Les Paul

I was at the Hard Rock café in London, they have a 'vault' downstairs where you can get your picture taken with famous artists guitars :D
I just hate myself for being too stuck in the grunge music to listen to Jimi Hendrix at that time, could also have played a flying v of his :shock: :oops: :cry: , theres a diddley and some other stuff down there as well :D

Actually i was just looking at a red strat with the autographs of the Sex Pistols on it when this big old long haired leather wearing rocker dude ask my mum if we want to see the vault and the guitars down there, clueless as to what the hell it is we go downstairs with him and then we found ourself in a place I can only describe as true nirvana. heaven is a place on earth :wink:
it's in the shop(shop and restaurant is in two different buildings)

i see.... it must have been even better than walking into a guitar center... its nice to go into one and just see walls lined with guitars, but i'm sure some famous guitars would be a much better experience

They weren't plugged and I didn't know how to play anything but Nirvana songs :wink: I only play 'dream' guitars at the moment as my long time friends farther is a guitar collector(the farther is the friend i mentioned with the vg strat) with very nice contacts in the danish music scene, he's investing in guitars so that means nice vintage gear to fool around with :D I love it :D
But don't get me wrong, I'm lucky as $@!&, it has nothing to do with my playing abilities

My best guess is that Denmarks biggest store is as big as the smallest GC :lol: So I believe walking into a Guitar Center would be a thrill for me :D Theres 6 million people in denmark to give you an idea of the difference :shock:

I think there's 6 million people on the Freeway between San Bernardino and the Hollywood Guitar Center. Maybe more
