That clip reminds me of two instances in my much younger life...
The black Gibson Les Paul Custom with 3 humbuckers was the exact guitar I bought used from someone in my neighborhood that needed the money...$400.00....two weeks later, my grandpa died and I needed money to buy a ticket to MA from HI, so I called him back...fortunately he was having seller's remorse and was about to call me if he could buy it back...I wish I still had that guitar.
The other instance was when my friends had just moved their business to a new warehouse location, and they wanted to have a welcoming party for employees/friends, so we staged our amps, guitars and drums on the upper mezzanine and started wailing, eventually getting all of our amps to volume 10...which never happened before or after in my lifetime...at the time I was playing a Tele thru a '64 Fender Deluxe Reverb, and I couldn't hear afterwards for about a half day...my buddy was playing a Marshall half stack, and I could barely hear my guitar over his amp. I cannot confirm or deny whether beer and weed was involved...
Such a great movie...and my wife has never seen it...we are going to watch it tonight.
Rob Reiner was an icon in the biz...he will be sorely missed, and it is hard to imagine having his and his wife's lives ended in this horrific manner...
reminds me a show my brother in law's high school band "Kyrplex" played at Quincy, MA downtown finishing line for a Breast Cancer 10k fundraiser back in 1996 or so. They were 15 at that time and the band was basically a cross between aerosmith and some kind of screamcore with sorta entry level musical skills. Stormy, the lead singer, not my brother in law, belted out a super loud version of their most memorable song, Killer Clown, and to say the demographic wasn't into it was putting it mildly. Well there was one guy into it, me, it was basically an awesome show on so many levels. The kids were totally earnest in their performance and really did take the role seriously, it was their first big show, and they came to rock, it's just the environment wasn't ready for them yet...
