I don't know what's the big deal. Those guys look just like those who I grew up with! What's wrong with the way they look? ------------------ |

That Tele® appears to be the John 5 edition. [signature model named for Marilyn Manson's geetar picker]  I'd be careful 'bout what you say, they just might show up on your doorstep some dark night! |

Put a clean shirt on the guy on the right and he'd fit in perfectly with some of the bands touring through here. Phred ------------------ |

Thats actually a Picture of Elvis and brother Enis. ELVIS got to be known as Elvis the Pelvis. Poor old Enis couldn't come up with a nickname. |

be careful 'cause i know those dudes and that woman. A band hired him to fill in for their tele player for a night. That woman took a shine to the singer. When he turned her down, they all three beat the hell out of the whole band, and stoled their playing money!!!!! his real name is bubba, no wait ..sorry that's her name!!! |

Are they looking for a steel player ? I am thinking these could just be the guys to hone my steel playing with. |

Cousin Ernie wanted to play steel pedal with the Duck Pluckers. He picked up an old Fender steel pedal. But he couldn’t figure out which cables hook onto which strings so he gave up. Now he’s taking up drums. He just wants to go on the road to meet some girls. |

Speaking of goofy guitar players... don’t forget "The Shaggs", an all-girl band from Fremont, New Hampshire. This group is considered the worst rock and roll band in the world (or the "best worst" by the New York Times), and this designation has made the band's one and only album a collector's item. Recorded in 1968. After a few months of guitar lessons Dad forced the girls to record an album. There were only 100 albums pressed. NRBQ later found a copy in a Boston radio station and had their label re-release it... thanks guys! [This message was edited by Doug Beaumier on 27 July 2006 at 12:21 PM.] |

Yes, out of tune, out of time, awful songs, awful lyrics sung with a lisp. It's like a Saturday Night Live parody of a bad band. [This message was edited by Doug Beaumier on 28 July 2006 at 10:29 AM.] |

Man I really hate to admitt it, but with ears like those Duck Pluckers have they must be related to my family!! My Dad always said us boys looked like a Volks Wagon with both doors open!! The girls were lucky they had long hair to hide thiers,,,Hmmmm come to think of it back then us boys did too!! edited to add, don't know where those dumb looks came from, must have been from the other side of the family!!
