It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.

I like it. But I think I'd only want to go there when it's closed, you know?

It would be a shame that this would turn into a fad then burn out quickly. Definately needs to be elevated into a archetectual art form because we definately need more "oh wow" stuff in our cities like this.

If you look closely, it does go to 11.

You know, I would never say this to their face but, this... this is a fad.

Couldn't they have picked an English amp brand then?

Vox, Marshall, Orange, Matamp, WEM ...

Who would notice the sign with all the English guitarists starring at their shoes?

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

These go to 11.

/don't even point.

It is more likely to be in Southampton.

I love that English wit. There's a fine line between "if I say this, it might be funny" and "If I say this, I'm a douchebag"...

Methinks that was subby's point.

The real pain was putting the 6 foot Celestion on the other side.

I think the problem was that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

Aren't you cool. Say what you will about Fender guitars, but those old combo amps have great tone. The guitars, while arguably overpriced and inconsistent, deliver the most recognizable tone in popular music. Strat, Jazzmaster, Telecaster... No substitute for any of them.

I dunno. It might be in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

my telecaster is by far the best sounding guitar I've ever owned. it's followed by my Gibson 335 and Taylor acoustic.

worst guitar i've owned? Les Paul

Dude. Seriously. It DEPENDS on your sound and what you want to do with it. Your comment makes me think you're a poseur.

I guess it's a matter of taste. I just bought an NOS Tweed Blues Jr. that sounds incredible with my Roadhouse Strat.

I always get a kick out of the Fender VS Gibson argument. But Bolo Jungle nailed it, you can argue all day about which is "better", but it really just boils down to personal preference.

I love my Strat and my Les Paul.

Who wants a Fender that goes to 11?
