Nick Vassilev's Place: Cleaning etc.

I was amazed to find out my new Slash Signature AFD100 amp possessed features I wasn’t aware of.

A few days ago I switched on this lovely beast to play some guitar. To my utter amazement in the intervals between riffs I could hear a strange noise. It wasn’t a humming noise… I could hear a clear human voice talking on a TV (it must have been a TV I was getting because I could hear the sounds of an old western movie later on )!!!

While I was glad it wasn’t a fault with the amp (hummmm) I was getting annoyed by the strange sound coming out of my 4×12 Marshall cab. It must have been the neighbours TV I am receiving.

I hope I won’t have to pay double for my TV license

Despite the annoying sound obstacle (only heard when not playing) I can confirm that I continue to rock on!

Hell yeah!

Rispek!

I have reasons to believe that Slash’s playing stands a few galaxies ahead from my guitar skills, as brutally confirmed by the latest assessment of my command of the 6-string instrument.

Rispek, man!

I had no idea Guitarist was first published in 1984.

Wow! The Eighties -heavy metal, new wave, pop, the end of the socialist regimes in Eastern Europe. Great times! Is that nostalgia? Maybe. I liked the Eighties.

Great times for metal. 1984 was the year when Manowar released 2 albums – Fighting The World and Hail To England, Metallica – Ride The Lightning, Slayer – Reign In Blood. Just the right time for a magazine for guitar players.

Happy Anniversary and keep on rocking, Guitarist!
