James Jamerson sort of blurs the lines between Motown and Rock (although the album rock station I listened to as a kid played both and didn't know the difference till later). Paul McCartney was an innovater and pioneer but not sure if he should be sohigh. Glad to see Geddy Lee wasn't #1 - great ...

This is not bass playing.

Whoever dislikes this needs to pop a ritalin and STFU!!! :)

My old squadron and undoubtedly some old shipmates I knew were involved. I bet I changed at least a dozen TACANs in that bird among other things. Heard about this incident but was stateside during this time. Glad to hear everyone made it out safe and is around to talk about it!

@raytrygstad Funny! (In the proper context of course)! I deployed with "Hookey Twos" in 1986 with HSL-35, Det. 5 on board the Reasoner then rolled over to shore duty with a LAMPS MK III squadron. Thought SH-60Bs only deployed aboard ships equipped with RAST! I wonder if this wasn't a landing on a...

I was part of the original "Stand Up" crew for HC-5 back in 1984 doing this with the HH-46A on the USNS Kilauea! Nothing in the world like having around 8 tons coming down and hovering right over you (and you resisting all hatural urges and normal common sense to "get the hell out of there!")! Lo...

R.I.P Stevie!

@localguy8 Kazuo Yairi purposely went with a laminate body. You really need to check out his factory tour here on youtube to appreciate the craftsmanship. There are some distinct advantages - namely that a lam body is less sensitive to changes in humidity and does not crack as easily if you were ...

@jamzthorpe I have a DY-71 Koa Graphite manufactured some time in the 1990s. It is a beat to crap fixer but I took it to a bluegrass jam playing alongside some folks playing $10,000 Collings guitars and they could not stop marvelling at how incredible my guitar was sounding! Right now I am lookin...

Man, this is definitely in the top ten jams of all time!

Alright, it looks like there were at least 33 damnyankees that listened to this and got their knickers in a knot! Screw you! I'm from TEXAS! :)

Can you just hear Stevie Ray and Gary Moore Jamming on this one right about now? RIP Gary Moore! You will be missed! :(

RIP Gary Moore! Another great one has left us! :(

Prince is and always has been a strange individual and his strangeness often obscures the fact that he is an incredible guitar player that is up there with the best of them!!

I remember singing a version of this song while in Navy Boot Camp many years ago. Brings back quite a few memories! While some of this inter-service rivalry stuff is fun at times, I'd like to remind you that you are all heroes in my book! Thank you for your service and remember that THERE CAN BE...

I have two Yairi guitars now and my next guitar will probably be a Yairi as well!

Love the vocals and the simplistic accompaniment! You have definitely got Bob Marley channeled!!!!

Perhaps we should 've listened to a certain General over 60 years ago when he said "There can be no substitute for VICTORY!"?
