Lance, singing shrilly outside Keith's door at 3AM:

Jeepers Keithers, where'd ya get those peepers? Jeepers Keithers, where'd ya get those eyes?

Great Guitarists 100 - Quotes from Guitarists [CROSSBEAT (November 2009)]

Guitarists talk about 'My Guitar Theory' at a glance

Keith Richards “I don't have an electric guitar in my house. I don't have an amp. I don't play any electrics at home. I always play acoustic guitars.”

Billie Joe Armstrong “Since I got my guitar when I was 11, it's been like Christmas every day (laughs). I've been playing it for so long that it's become completely integrated into my body.”

Jimmy Page “I'm an only child and I started playing guitar when I was 11 and it was like an obsession. I took it to school with me and played it during recess. I never took it away.”

Jack White “Basically, I don't like new guitars. They might stay in tune, but they have no character. There's no flavour. For me, a guitar is just a tool. I have no attachment to it. I don't mind if you borrow one and take it home.”

Johnny Ramone “Most guitarists hone their skills by playing bands they admire. But I had no idea how to play other artists' songs, so I decided to make my own. So I'm not like anyone else.”

Jonny Greenwood “I don't rehearse, I don't practise guitar. I don't take care of my guitar, I only have one guitar. I don't collect guitars, I don't care about the age or the name. For me, a guitar is just like a tool. It's like a typewriter.”

The Edge “I didn't try to steal techniques from people who were good at playing guitar. I'm trying to do something unique and unprecedented. That's what real music is about. The important thing is originality.”

John Frusciante “I think the guitar is my friend. It's been by my side my whole life. I feel like I was born to play the guitar.”

J Mascis “From the very beginning I liked guitar solos. More so than playing rhythm. I don't really know why. What does the guitar mean to me? Hmmm……… Well, guitar (laughs)… Or a tree (laughs).”

Pete Townshend “If I can't get the sound I want, I smash the guitar as hard as I can into the amp. If it still doesn't come out, I smash it on the floor to clear it up. I didn't care how much I had to pay for it later.”

Lou Reed “When I play guitar, I want it to sound like a saxophone. That's why there's so much distortion in my sound.”

Ritchie Blackmore “When I want to say something, my fingers say it.”

Robert Fripp “I think playing the guitar is in a way merging the body into a personality, a soul and a spirit.”

Translator's Note: Were the quotes necessary to translate? Yes, since it's part of the Great Guitarists 100 article. So translate and read, we shall.

Everything else we know he can do — he’s a great showman — but to a musician, Mick Jagger is a great harp player. His phrasing is incredible. It’s very Louis Armstrong, Little Walter. And that’s saying something.

Keith Richards, Life.

AIRDATE: January 2, 1993 COMMENTATORS: Tony Schiavone & “The Living Legend” Larry Zbyszko

WCW begins their New Year with Power Hour, featuring a tag team main event pitting Brad Armstrong & Marcus Alexander Bagwell against Barry Windham & Brian Pillman, plus some big news as a new World Champion has been crowned…at a house show in Baltimore during the week.

CHAMPIONS

WCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: Big Van Vader

WCW UNITED STATES HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: “Ravishing” Rick Rude

WCW WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPION: Scott Steiner

WCW/NWA UNIFIED WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat & Shane Douglas

Scotty Flamingo vs. Keith Cole (*)

Brad Armstrong & Marcus Alexander Bagwell vs. Barry Windham & Brian Pillman (**1/2)

*****

2 Cold Scorpio vs. Joe Cruz

Right at the bell Schiavone announces some huge news: Big Van Vader is World Champion once again, having defeated Ron Simmons on Wednesday in Baltimore. More to come later today on Saturday Night. Cruz has the weight advantage but not much else and Scorpio easily dispatches him with various aerial moves, including a skin the cat into a slingshot splash and finally a 450 Splash to win.

2 Cold Scorpio defeated Joe Cruz via pinfall (2:44)

JON’S THOUGHTS: Scorpio out here casually busting out 450 Splashes in 1993, turning the crowd into that exploding head guy from Scanners. Love it. (SQUASH)

–

-Schiavone and Zbyszko hype the next Clash of the Champions, scheduled for January 13th, which will feature an Arm Wrestling contest between “Heavy Metal” Van Hammer & Tony Atlas.

-CLIP (12/19/92 Worldwide): Van Hammer defeats Ron Simmons to win WCW’s Strongest Arm competition put on by Jesse “The Body” Ventura. Hammer’s ceremony is interrupted by Tony Atlas, who says he was too late to enter the contest but HE’S the one with the strongest arm in WCW. 

-PROMOTIONAL CONSIDERATION PAID FOR BY THE FOLLOWING: Zap Pack’s video game trading cards, GI Joe action figures, and Predator 2 for Sega Genesis and Game Gear.

Scotty Flamingo vs. Keith Cole

Cole overpowers Flamingo to start, keeping control with a side headlock until Flamingo finally stuns him with a belly-to-back suplex. Cole counters an abdominal stretch with a hip toss, Flamingo goes back on the offensive with a series of kicks and a bearhug. Cole won’t stay down though, kicking out of Flamingo’s  pinfall attempts and fighting back with lefts and a clothesline. Flamingo catches a charging Cole with an elbow and finishes him off with an airplane spin into a Samoan Drop for the 1…2…3.

Scotty Flamingo defeated Keith Cole via pinfall (4:46)

JON’S THOUGHTS: Flamingo may have gotten the win but Cole looked like the stronger man here, kicking out of every other pinning attempt in rapid fashion. Also it has to be said: Keith Cole has the GREATEST mullet I have ever seen on a human being. It is amazing, the perfect level of trash. Knowing the trajectory of Flamingo’s career in the 90s I have no idea what he’s got left to do in WCW under the gimmick. Could be a Michael Wallstreet circa 91 situation where he just suddenly…vanishes. (*)

-Teddy Long hypes up the 8-Man ThunderCage scheduled (SCHEDULED) to main event January 13th’s Clash of the Champions special. Clips aplenty play showing the major feuds going into the match (Ron Simmons/Rick Rude, Sting/Big Van Vader, Dustin Rhodes/Barry Windham, Van Hammer/The Barbarian, the final grouping having no real beef with each other but we paired everybody else off so whatever).

-Schiavone and Zbyszko discuss January 13’s scheduled (SCHEDULED) Bounty Match between Erik Watts and Cactus Jack then take it to footage from Jack’s match at last year’s show, a Falls Count Anywhere contest against Van Hammer from the 1.21.92 Clash. It’s a helluva thing mostly thanks to Jack’s bumps but sadly the show does not give us the whole thing, instead cutting to Missy Hyatt mid-move for the next segment. Booo.

-Missy Hyatt wants Erik Watts to make her his manager, as he needs someone to guide him. Cut to a clip from Saturday Night in 1992 where Rick Rude snaps off a Rude Awakening on the concrete floor. Watts makes it to the apron and Rude suplexes him back in…and now we’re back to Hyatt who continues pleading her case for becoming his manager.

Brad Armstrong & Marcus Alexander Bagwell vs. Barry Windham & “Flyin” Brian Pillman

Windham muscles Armstrong into the corner, Armstrong quickly fights his way out to reset. Armstrong drops Windham with a shoulder tackle followed by a dropkick into a side headlock takeover. Windham counters with a headscissors, Armstrong kicks his way out and a shoving match breaks out before the ref is forced to intervene. Schiavone brings up Armstrong & Windham’s history, the two having battled over the U.S. Heavyweight Championship at the second-ever Clash of the Champions. Pillman, Armstrong’s former Light Heavyweight Championship rival, tags in and gets dropped with an enzuigiri. Pillman misses one of his own, Bagwell tags in and goes after Pillman’s leg to ground the high-flier. Windham tags in, Bagwell surprises him with a dropkick and back body drop. Bagwell brings Windham to the canvas with a side headlock, Windham escapes but eats a pair of dropkicks followed by an armdrag into an armbar. Pillman sneaks a tag in and traps Bagwell in a side headlock. Bagwell catches a flying Pillman with a shot to the midsection followed by a dropkick and armdrag. Pillman sends Bagwell into Windham’s knee, Windham tags in and drives an elbow to the back of the neck. Bagwell fires back but misses a clothesline and Windham puts him into the canvas with a DDT, popping the crowd.

Windham connects with a belly-to-back suplex, Pillman tags in and comes off the buckles with  an elbowdrop for the 1…2…Bagwell kicks out, Pillman settles into a chinlock. Pillman tosses Bagwell to the floor behind the ref’s back, avoiding a DQ. Bagwell catches Pillman with a crossbody but Windham ties up the ref too long and only ends up with a one-count at best. Pillman traps Bagwell in an abdominal stretch, Windham pulling on the arm for extra leverage just out of the ref’s view. Bagwell escapes with a hip toss and crawls under Pillman’s legs to make the hot tag to Armstrong. All four men battle in the ring, ref forces Bagwell out and Windham & Pillman hit a proto Total Elimination (Pillman clipping the knee, Windham connecting with a lariat), Pillman covering Armstrong for the 1…2…3!

Barry Windham & Brian Pillman defeated Brad Armstrong & Marcus Alexander Bagwell via pinfall (9:22)

JON’S THOUGHTS: Having jumped from 1991 to 1993 in my WCW lookback I was a little surprised to see Pillman & Windham as a heel tag team given how heated their feud was back in the day, taped fist matches and the like. They worked really well together and I liked the finish a lot. Schiavone bringing up Armstrong’s history with Windham was a nice way to give some flavor to this one and I want to go back and watch that match now. (**1/2)

-Schiavone and Zbyszko hypes tonight’s Saturday Night, where a tournament will begin to get a shot at Rick Rude’s United States Heavyweight Championship.

*****

FINAL THOUGHTS

Disappointing that we didn’t get the full Van Hammer/Cactus Jack match from last year’s Clash, but besides that Power Hour was a breeze to get through. Main event tag team match was fun, loved seeing 2 Cold Scorpio in action, and the tease about Big Van Vader regaining the World Championship during the week did a good job hyping Saturday Night for later in the day.

Firestarter (2022, dir. Keith Thomas) - review by Rookie-Critic

The new Firestarter was not super impressive. Now, anyone who knows me knows that one of my biggest interests as a human being is the works of Stephen King, and Firestarter is one of his most notable books from his golden era. I have read the book (currently re-reading it) and have seen the original Drew Barrymore film, but both were a very long time ago and I don't remember a ton about them outside of basic story beats. That being said, this new version of the story made some odd deviations from the source material that I don't fully understand their reasoning for and the whole thing just felt rushed and a little hollow. Zac Efron and Michael Greyeyes were definite standouts and Ryan Kiera Armstrong, as I always say when good actors have to perform a bad script, did the best with what she was given. The dialogue in this movie is sometimes hard to sit there and listen to. It's bad. John Carpenter's score, however, was incredible and is the standout piece of the film. I really wanted this to be good, and I wouldn't say it's bad, but it just didn't give me a lot to work with.

Score: 4/10
