Apologies if someone has already started a similar thread  - just like to wish Tim and his team and everyone on the forum a great Christmas and New Year  :harp: and thank everyone for making this such an excellent, interesting forum.


Hope you have all got lots of BKPs wrapped up waiting under the Christmas tree  :guitar4:

God bless us every one, as (Tiny) Tim would say.  No, not the one who did Tiptoe Through the Tulips.

I'm helping doing the cooking, but the other half of the family (dad and sis) have cleaning up duties, so i think i've got the good end of the stick... unless i've got to watch Only Fools and Horses again!!

PS. Santa hasn't arrived yet, still waiting.

Hope everyone had a good xmas! Anyone get anything guitar related then? I got these two matching Couch straps for my guitars (black for the epi, brown for the pearl), love them. Look cool and are so much comfier than the Ernie Ball polywebs I was using before. Dad still hasnt paid me back for them yet though so I guess they'll remain a present I bought for myself :lol:

I didn't get anything guitar related either.
Title: Re: Merry Christmas!
Post by: Lazy_McDoesnothing on December 29, 2008, 04:38:39 AM
The only guitar related things I got were a few sets of strings, a pick holder, and some picks.  Oh and I just bought myself a set of PK7's! PDT_003

Non-guitar related things I got were 13 random imported beers, a homebrew kit, some clothes, and cash.

I couldn't ask for any better to be honest!

I got the Gibson Les Paul Haynes manual
Great book for anyone that likes a Les Paul.
I wonder if Roo got the Telecaster one he was wanting
Title: Re: Merry Christmas!
Post by: Will on December 29, 2008, 09:07:03 AM
I knew I needed to get some Les Paul books, just forgot to buy the buggers.

Bought myself a few guitar related things, trying out BritPicks at some point when they arrive :)

My sister (and bro in law) bought me the Billy F Gibbons Rock 'n' Roll Gearhead book. Fantastic coffee table stuff. Also GAS inducing.

I got no guitar related presents, but I did have a go on Guitar Hero III and I was completely f*cking useless.

Particularly embarrassing as I was the only so-called guitar player in the house.

[mutter]Of course it's nothing like playing a real guitar...... [/mutter]

Got the Blu Ray version of Led Zepplin - The Song Remains The Same.

Excellent quality recording for a 1973 concert :band5:

My bro got me the 'Song Remains The Same' DVD

Havent seen that for ages, gonna have to dig it out again at some point. The little "acted" bits between songs get annoying though, because they're so shite :lol:

yeah, it goes without saying they were going for a really arthouse production... and i agree it doesn't come off alot of the time - you're waiting for more music. luckily the awesome concert footage and great audio makes up for it.

the whole over-blown grandoise nature of the thing is totally impressing me. can you imagine what it would have been like if they carried on in to the late 80s? the 70s production makes the pomposity come across in a much more charming way. while 'song remains the same' is an excellent production, its probably just as well punk came along.

It's good that so many of us had a Merry Christmas. I didn't receive any guitar related gifts. However, I did give away an Ibanez AF75D to a under privileged young girl who plays violin and aspires to play guitar. Merry Christmas!
