Re: 2016 Election
The one from Comfortably Numb has more distortion on it, it's just more trebly so it cuts through more.
Haven't heard 5am, must give it a listen.
Jimmy Page makes my top 5 (Mike Oldfield is above him, arguably a more weird choice to you than Brian May
). Stevie Ray Vaughn is good, but the blues isn't really that hard to play and it does start sounding the same after a while. Much as I like The Edge, if you switch off his delay unit, he wouldn't sound half as good as he does. Master of effects, yes and definitely a top-10 guitarist but just doesn't have enough, well, edge for me
It's all totally subjective, of course. Knopfler and Gilmour are and will remain untouchable as far as I'm concerned though.

Re: 2016 Election
I looked this up out of curiosity. They were recorded in the Guinness Book of Records in 1974 after reaching 117 dB during a show, then The Who beat them by 10 dB in 1976 but I don't know if that was officially recorded. Apparently, KISS hit 136 dB in 2009 during a concert, which would make them the record holders if it were made official.
I sometimes wonder the decibel level achieved the day I put my head between two hifi speakers (12" woofers) and listened to Stairway and full tilt. It seemed pretty loud at the time!

Way to go, Zargof! They're trying to highjack this thread.

He tends to be underrated because many fans of guitar music aren't really into his stuff.
This time, I'm sure you'll agree, it's for the better

Re: 2016 Election
I'm more than happy to talk about Uncle Bernie becoming President. Based on what I heard about his numbers this morning, Auntie Hillary might be starting to shit herself a bit.

Obviously Trump is that other uncle who doesn't get invited to Christmas any more after the incident when your sister brought that black fellow as a date.

Re: 2016 Election
Better than talking about old people running for office
Tubular Bells doesn't really showcase his talent as a guitarist, rather as a composer and arranger. Later works show off his guitar playing much better (starting with Ommadawn) and his technique and style really are very good.

Does he really want to run a credible campaign as President in 2017 or just turn his campaign into a three ring circus?

Re: 2016 Election
There was a film made about her during the time she was running as John McCain's Vice President. Her campaign assistants were coaching her in class 101 world affairs. Later on she appeared to have suffered some sort of nervous breakdown and she never finished her term as Alaska Governor either I cannot understand why Trump would want anything to do with her.

I guess Trump has made the judgment call that having Palin in tow will shore up his support amongst the Tea Party crowd versus Cruz. If Trump becomes the nominee I'd expect him to quietly sideline her.
