Gibson Les Paul History

admin — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:31:12 +0000

1952 marked the beginning of the modern day guitar revolution. It was in this year that Les Paul and Gibson teamed up to create the Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. Whether you are aware of it or not, you have probably experienced this guitar in someway or another. You may have gone to a live a show and seen your favorite musician playing it or you've heard it on your favorite record, this guitar is a staple in the music industry and has been since its creation all those years ago.

The story of the guitar's burth is a little different depending on who you ask. Les Paul is responsible for adding elements to the guitar such as the trapeze-style tailpiece. Les Paul was a very popular Jazz musician at the time. When the guitar was created, Ted McCarty was in charge of Gibson. There are claims that the guitar was completely designed before Gibson ever talked to Les Paul. Gibson did this to get an endorsement for their new guitar from a well known jazz and pop guitar player.

Despite the legendary status the Les Paul has these days, believe it or not, it was rejected when it was first introduced. Les Paul's prototype was called 'The Log' and it was rejected when he submitted it. His thought was to put electronic pickups onto a solid guitar as opposed to the semi-hollow bodies that were popular then. His unique design spurred the industry in a new direction and expanded on the idea of the electric guitar that became wildly popular. Since then, Les Paul's guitar has gained traction with guitarists through the decades to finally rise to icon status.

The rich, storied history of the unique Gibson Les Paul electric guitar still attracts guitar enthusiasts and collectors to this day. The unique tone spectrum of the guitar is used by many studio musicians. Many notable musicians use this guitar still today. Some notable users have been: Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, The Edge, David Grohl, Eric Johnson, Ted Nugent, Keith Richards and many, many more. It has a rich clientele that continues to grow, making this guitar one of the most landmark electric instruments to hit the market.

Aces high! The Iron Maiden merchandising machine

admin — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:31:11 +0000

What are the benefits of branded merchandise for your band? Lets look at one of last night’s winners to proove a point.

Iron maiden, The band won ‘best live band’ last night to the delight of headbangers everywhere. (UP THE IRONS!). I went to Maiden’s twickenham gig in June last year, and there were 5 seperate full-sized merchandise stands around and inside the venue which were always packed. one of the music industires dirty secrets: bands dont make money on album sales generally, but on touring and merchandise sales. For bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica who sell thousands of t-shirts at concerts this is a very sweet piece of pie, considering twickenham holds 55,000 people for concerts, and a t-shirt was £20 each, not knowing the sales figures we cant really do the maths -im betting its a HUGE number in the five figure region. But when they were a smaller band in the late 70’s early 80s Merch sales were keeping them on the road until 1983’s ‘number of the beast’ exploded and took them to the next level as a band. Cannibal Corpse’s bloody imagery that is shown on their t-shirts have kept them making a living out of their music and on tour for years.

Promotional merchandise can also help get your bands name out there.

People will buy cool looking merchandise to wear/ display, out in public, which will be seen by other people, and if they also like the design/ logo, they may come to a gig or at least check out your myspace page. The more people are exposed to your logo, the more can become interested and quickly become merch buying fans. Unless your a die hard fan, most people will buy one copy of the album (why would you need anymore?) but 2 or 3 t-shirts to wear out.

Where can I find a good alternative / world cinema / arthouse DVD rental store in Central London?

admin — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 17:05:02 +0000

I'm not interested in Blockbuster style Hollywood movies, and really want to find a great indie hire store, in central-ish London.

When I lived in Wimbledon (not central I know but…) my local library had the best range of art house and world cinema films I've found anywhere so far. They also had a lot of old films on video that have not yet been remastered for DVD as an added bonus, and worked out much cheaper than the nasty high street places. As a side point, UCI cinemas usually have a 'director's chair' night (the Sutton one near me was on a Tuesday) when they show brilliant art house/alternative/just plain old films. You're quite right; most mainstream video shops like cinemas are overstocked with absolute cr@p.

If you contact your local Chamber of Commerce, they will let you know what is needed to establish any licenses needed.

Hope this helps!

Does your dvd rental store require that movies be rewound?

admin — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 00:47:00 +0000

…mine charges me if I don't.

Is this fair?
Um, LIA? If you'd read the question, you'd maybe get a giggle out of it.
Or, just read others' answers and see how they kind of, "went with" it…
Relax, it's not so bad. Really!

yes and you have to rewind while watching again.

How can I copy a DVD from a rental store? What software or website?

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 04:03:08 +0000

I have a DVD burner on my computer already.

Yes I use this, and have found it to be the best and easiest to use, and great support….Video Vault, and use AnyDVD V5941 as your decrypter…It is not Illegal to make backup copies of your own DVD or whatever. Plus Nero Wont burn a protected DVD now matter what. Further more you need a solid decrypter such as ANYDVD v5941 to by pass the tuff Sony DVD`s

What are first steps to opening up your own DVD rental store/cafe?

admin — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 03:02:58 +0000

From experience, it is very hard to compete with the big hitters. (blockbuster, hollywood video.) What is going to be your benefit? It is expensive to keep the stock they have. You need to have a very special draw.

now you will also compete with netflix, walmart, etc.
