NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

+1 on Jansen Christchurch props. Had an excellent shopping experience there myself. Good work!

Funny, I could have sworn I overheard on the radio that Van Halen were playing the other day . Maybe I'm just going crazy.

I'd like to see them but they're not quite in the 'travel to see' bracket. No biggie though, it won't be the last time they come to NZ by a long shot.

Just read the story...

"Earlier this month, the writer of such Queen hits as "We Will Rock You" and "Fat Bottomed Girls" was granted an honorary doctorate from Exeter University in Devon, England."

Seems like one's just not enough.

Nice to see someone famous actually earn their doctorate rather than just gain an honourary one. They earn it... Through all the money they end up donating to whatever university gave it to them. Well at least according to my lecturers they do :D Good to see someone breaking the sterotype that rock...

Does anybody know what time they'll be on? I don't want to have to sit through all the crap to see them.

I have a Yamaha classical that I have hardly played since I stopped getting lessons at high school and a cheapy Karina steel string that I play quite a bit. I've been meaning to get a decent acoustic for a while, I just haven't had the funds. I seem to go through stages when I'll ignore either elect...

I've never had that problem with my SG, maybe it's cause I have one of those planet waves straps that clip on and have a hinge type thing

No, it's Black Sabbath with Dio and I don't think Bill Ward is the drummer. They're not called Black Sabbath because the original Sabbath is still officially together. Hope they decide to add a Christchurch show at some stage.
