Rick Nielsen's "Gonna Raise Hell" guitar 26 years later.....

[Digital Jams]

Guess Rick called Hamer and overnighted the bad boy for a tune-up, the nitro is so dry and worn the logo fell off

Anyone interested in the shop, which is 100% custom shop only, this link has some killer pieces either completed or in progress...............

Robin Zander is one of my favorite singers of all time and he can still belt it out.

No doubt, Robin imo is one of the best frontmen ever.

 

[Jeff Hilligan]

Great pics and you gotta love a band who has a 12 string bass player!

 

[Chubtone]

Great find Scott! Thanks bro! One of my favorite bands and probably the reason I'm still a sucker for power pop.

Rick played my beater guitar when I was in college. He and the drummer played with our crappy frat-house band. His son was in our fraternity. That's the closest I've come to the big time.

as Beavis and Butthead said about Bun E Carlos :

he looks like the type of guy you'd see in the grocery store, and you'd tell him "the light beer is over on aisle 14A sir", and he'd say, "thank you young man"

Wolf in sheep's clothes, Bun E is a monster drummer and rightfully named king of the thunder drums.

and they agreed as they watched the video for Woke up With a Monster

How is there NOT ONE spec of corrosion on that hardware?

My shit rusts when I look at it.

The 2nd pic is the guitar before the tune up, the chrome floyd on the last pic is the new hardware

God damnit Jol loosen up the tie and start allowing floyds again

Cheap Trick!

They were one of my earliest influences many moons ago................................Any of you other old-duffer's in here remember a cable show back in the early eighties called "Night Flight"? I remember seeing Cheap Trick "Live" on that show when I was a kid................Cool!

I know his long time tech (who also went on to work for Deep Purple) and he speaks highly of the entire band, but definitely has tons of respect for "Bunny" as a player and employer.

Such a kickass live band absolutely love these guys !

 

[PBGas]

Amazing guitar! Love Rick and his playing!

I saw this as a kid and always thought this song was so tough.
