$99 for the cheapest seat. Sorry Joe, I'm not that big a fan.

I think I might just try and get to this one ~ his new album is pretty damn good and it will be guitar/amp porn heaven if you're anywhere close to the front.

Thanks for the heads up!

The guitar porn seats are going to be more like $159

And they're mostly gone already.

Do people still ship their amps down for OZ/NZ tours? That's probably rather uneconomical nowadays. It would probably be a bunch of rented Marshalls.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera
Verellen Meatsmoke | Synergy SYN1 | Mesa Studio

I could be wrong but every single show I've seen him do (YouTube not live BTW) he appears to use all of his own gear. I honestly don't think he has any financial concerns to consider, unlike most artists !!

Dunno, I've seen bigger bands/artists that have logistic costs concerns nowadays. Most videos you see would be him touring in the US, that's a whole different story.

He seem to be fairly happy with stock Marshalls (JMP, Jubilee, DSL) though. Bet he'd still sound great even through a DSL.

You could be right. Interesting to see what he is playing towards the end of this year, he's been playing through 4 x Tweeds for quite a while now. Would be nice to see him bring the Jubilee's & Dumble/VW back into action again.

I saw him in 2014. Didn't think I would like it, but actually had a great time.

When he was here in 2014 he played through a wall of Marshall DSL half stacks! So if you are going for the amp porn think twice!

Yuck. Blues.

Yuck blues indeed, could be worse, could be surf - a much more popular and viable genre and the root of all modern rock music... :mental: :rofl:

I'll leave the theramin to you. After 20 minutes of 50's sci-fi films, it gives me a headache. :congrats:

He doesn't play the blues... does he?
All the gear... absolutely no idea...

Nah, he's an impressive guitarist, but to be honest, there needs to be more...

To be honest, I've never forgiven him for what he did to "Jockey Full of Bourbon".
