Re: The Well-whofan style
-Do you understand 'lifehouse'? does anyone other than Pete?
-Where would you most like to visit in the world?
-any time with tweed bandmasters (or clones)? -if yes, what did you think?
-Tell us about where you live. Pros and cons?
-I was a Kramer Striker 100 kid myself. POS. Given a choice, what wopuld be your ultimate 80s Kramer?
-Ever eaten anything really strange?
-If you could choose one 80s hairband to come out of retirement and save the world from evil, action hero style, who would it be?
Lifehouse is a story that i understand the basic's... basic understanding is it was a science fiction story in the future, (maybe after another world war), the world is full of great polution unsafe for people, so instead of living real life they wear reality suits with computer programs to take them anywhere they wish to travel... Instead of real life they lived fake computer life... that is the basic concept with all sorts of side stories.. you can understand how this idea way back in 1970/71 was hard for people to understand... Pete has always been a future thinker... That big pay tv broadcast of The Who's Chicago 79, Essen 81 and Toronto 1982's fairwell show was how Pete invisioned the future of rock entertianment... he figured it would be live broadcasts that you could enjoy from home instead of really going to a hall... way back in 1985 as a guest speaker at a computer conference he said the computers and internet will destory the record companies... a lot of people laught at that...
Pete released a few different more completed versions of Lifehouse in 1999/2000 thru his web site... one was a live concert disc and the other was a 6 cd box set of his demos and new stuff... plus i think there is book of some sort..
I already saw England which was my Number 1 for a long time of places to see... Germany is another one i'd love to see... and since i have friends down under in Sydney there would be great too...
where i live is a small city north of Toronto... it is a bedroom community... most people travel for work... it has it's own issues just with that... parents are not home as often with there kids, traffic is crazy sometimes... but all in all it's great to be here.. every big box store you can think off is within 2 blocks of me, and the country farm fields are 2 streets away... it's the best of both worlds!!!!
The Kramer Striker i had sure was junk!!! The one i just bought last year is a POS too of course but i wanted it for tracing the body shape to make a copy of it...! i always wanted the white Kramer Baretta thing EVH had in some 1984 era Kramer ad's... i hear that guitar was a prototype and production models are not quite the same.. but that white finnish, the black hardware and the rosewood board neck i loved!!!
i can't really remember eating anything too strange... but i had dinner at a friend of my sisters who snuck some meat into the country from Tiland and she would not tell me what it was...
80's hairbands have had there day.. i'd prefer to remember them as they were mostly... most of the better ones are still around in one form or another
