Ok guys, let’s see how you do with this one. It’s definitely not Amos Lee or Eric Clapton, especially since Clapton is currently chilling and recuperating from gall stones.

Do the Beatles ever lose? Even post-band they continue to make bazillions of bucks (that is real money in Beatles terms) and they continue to also demand respect from all music listeners. Anyone who says they do not like the Beatles is lying. Their wide catalog and musical diversity permits the enjoyment of at least one song by anyone who has ever heard a note of music. Apparently, the Beatles cannot even lose when it comes to video games.The Beatles Rock Band has beaten Guitar Hero 5’s sales by selling around 100,000 copies more. It’s not like anyone expected differently.

In 1958, Bo Diddley done had an odd guitar, and on his guitar he had some strings. Strings here and strings there. Strings on the box guitar everywhere. Go ahead and listen to “Hey, Bo Diddley,” if that thoroughly confused you. The originator that was Bo Diddley was certainly a bit unconventional in both his lyric and his tremendous influence on the blues, and his originality was not lost in his guitar.
In our vote we have experienced a tie between the double necked guitar that Jimmy Page continues to jam on and “The Twang Machine” of Bo Diddley. My vote is for “The Twang Machine,” because not only is it amazingly original but it is so different. Page put a guitar on a guitar, but Bo changed the shape of it completely and symbolically changed the shape of good old fashioned blues music. He was a pioneer and all of his history seeped into the rectangular shaped machine that always was adorned like the suitcase of some boxcar traveler.
When judging how “cool” a guitar looks many may look a little to hard into design. Yet, what Bo Diddley expressed in his twang machine was an element of simplicity. A simple box, four corners, no need for wild v necks or fire additions. The simplicity is striking and this adds to how impressive the guitar is. Impressive enough to trump all the rest of them. What do you think?
Well, I’m done, and no not in the “There Will Be Blood” sense but in the I have no more tests sense. So, tonight, I relax, and because I am happy lets go with a pretty cool post to get your night started off right with an awesome poll. We are going to stay with the theme of guitar for one more week because Josh suggested the poll idea and I thought it was pretty awesome. I am assuming that there will be a lot of others so please post them with a link to a picture at the comment. What we are looking for is guitarist’s signature guitars. There are some sick looking guitars out there but if they are not used by a specific guitarist all the time, we do not want them. Keep in mind creativity, design and originality. Okay, happy posting. The pictures of the guitars are above this.
Hey guys,
So yesterday and today… I haven’t been feeling all that well, so I will represent my disquietude in today’s lyric. Everyone around here is sick, so to all my friends: get better soon, and to all of you, good luck with the lyric.
“He said the sh*t that used to work/ won’t work now”
