Guitar Magazine January 1990 - Motley Crue, Nuno, Steve Stevens, Paul McCartney And More!

In this video we take a look at Guitar Magazine from January 1990. Motley Crue were on tour for Dr. Feelgood. Nuno talks about his influences and guitar style, Steve Stevens just released his solo album. Paul McCartney talks input the Beatles and songwriting. Quite an interesting issue and time capsule. I hope you enjoy the video!

Hi, used to have that issue. Great memories. I really appreciate the work you put. Keep on man, really like your channel. Thanks.

Awesome. I still have a pile of magazines from Cream, Circus Hit Parader, etc. from the 80s. They were great then and would be great now. Excellent video Marty🎸👍🎸

I was a long time subscriber to Guitar for the practicing musician. These are like a trip in the way back machine Mr Peabody!

Thanks again Marty. This was my first full year of college and I had the subscription to Practicing Musicin. Had all these issues and seeing them again brings back lots of memories.

I got all the magazines in the 80's and 90's. Creem, Hit Parade, Circus, Metal Hammer, Kerrang...there was so many. The newspaper stand down on the corner of 10th Ave and West 42nd street in Hells Kitchen that kept all of them because he knew there was a metal scene in town and he sold a shit ton of them.

I think if Kramer done a mirror top Mars tele currently they would sell a ton of them. That’s Mick’s coolest guitar until he started playing partscasters.

If a guy loves guitar music, and I do, the Shrapnel label is the best. I have many Shrapnel cd's in my collection, I do mean many.

I thought nobody knew when Mick Mars’ birthday was

I've got a great idea! Bedtime storytelling by Marty! Rock-n-Roll dreams! Lol Thanks Marty and you're welcome for that million dollar idea! 😂

Hey man cool videos lessons licks and all else I have some VERY burning questions on all things knaggs kenai or knaggs SCC, steckel models and basically any knaggs that is made to be a les paul ish guitar especially with no weight relief and binding on body plus fretboard!
:
^** Thanks in advance for any replies **
:
I've been wanting a les paul killer as the next best thing, no 6k-12k gibson les paul custom shop R8, R9, R0 has spoken to me across 4 long and macquades great guitar but they're 100% pure vintage reproductions, if the Body neck and frets feel OK on one R9 or R0 then the finish isn't what I want too old school and classic looking I want something with a modern edge to it but nothing like a PRS still very much the core les paul sound a full thickness mahog body no weight relief 59 neck shape and a different burst besides the very common and decades old cherry burst or faded cherry, slight tobacco; I could settle for a solid gold top but again either the frets feel too tiny and vintagey or the frets are OK but the pickups are too vintagey and tiny/ weak sounding.

You can probably see where this is going either a Gibson custom shop or knaggs steckel custom order will probably be the way to go for me BUT knaggs custom would still get my vote most likely because gibsons custom shops even the 12k Murphy I picked up for fun didn't give me this feeling of a super expensive guitar made under a microscope feeling. Knaggs seem consistent 99% of the time their QC and overall build pricess seems way more customer centered than gibsons custom shop in comparison.
The only problem being no try before you buy with knaggs for us ontarians here, only 2 dealers in all of Canada and I think 1 is in BC other is in Quebec or thereabouts.
^
Seems worth it overall to take a shot in the dark with knaggs as much as the resale sucks, if it's killer and blows any of the 100 or so les Paul's I've tried out of the water then I don't think I'd want to sell it down thebroad for something else new and Shiney for 5.5k CAD when the knaggs CS steckel would cost around 8k. If I was a flipper those numbers really suck ass to see, but because I'm looking for a guitar w exactly what I want then I don't think I will even think of selling / trading it.
^
Anyway, I'll leave it there for now maybe you were like me tried dozens or a hundred les Paul's and even if you found 1-5 good ones the style, finish frets or something wasn't right in your gut with it that warranted gibsons CS R9 7k used to 8.5-10k new price tags.
^
Whenever you get a chance I'd be interested tonhear your thoughts. If I had to think of a few players who use this kind of modern les paul approach and why they swapped to knaggs it would easily be eric steckel himself doug Rappaport and Steve stevens - guy has les Paul's that were custom build for him like that steckel but on a Gibson gold top w dark bark but yet what he received from knaggs has made him put down the majority of his Les Paul's for his Knaggs stevens SCC meaning he liked it atleast as much if not more than his dozens of gibsons that he's had for decades. I'd say that's an impressive feat for Joe knaggs and him team.
Cheers from Niagara on the lake Ontario and have a good weekend

I have made this comment before. Steve Vai pays homage to his god, Satan. He makes it pretty clear when all his solo albums show it. His Label shows it, as his concept guitars do as well. His playing does also. The video he done with Polyphia points to it as well. Satan has many in his grasp, but the sheep keep grazing on.

The money I would waste on these fucking magazines ….
