    Yes. And the guitar depicted is a 1968 Fender Tele. Here's a link to the picture, even though most people here in R&P won't like me including a link to the cover of an album by a country guitarist, though the album does include many non-country instrumentals: http://blog.newsok.com/bamsblog/files/2009/01/brad...

    BQ: No.

    BQ2: Overall, I truly do love Brad Paisley's tones. Regardless of whether he's playing country, blues, rock or jazz, his tone always sounds great and it always sounds like him. If you want me to choose a rock guitarist, however, I really do love the tones that Eric Johnson gets. Like Paisley, Johnson has got some great tones for genres other than what he's known for playing.

    BQ3: Well, I did have some pizza but, other than that, nope.

    I quite like Eric Clapton's Slowhand, if that counts. And The Stray Cats album.

    Beck is awesome by the way. I really like Modern Guilt.

    BA: No, but if there's an artist I wanna check out and have never heard before, the first album I would buy would be based on the artwork, followed by the song titles

    BA2: ?? Don't know what you mean

    BA3: Nope.

    Metal Church's self-titled debut.

    BQ: Nope, though a good album cover is always a nice thing, since it's fun to look at.

    BQ2: Oh wow, this is a tough one. It really depends on the style. For death metal, Dismember and Pestilence rank as my top choices. Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and The Edge (U2) probably rank for my favourite non-metal guitar tones. Also, Kiko Loureiro (Angra) and Olaf Lenk (At Vance). There are plenty of others, but those are probably my favourites.

    BQ3: Well, I was going to see Alcest, but they had to cancel because Neige lost his voice.

    John 5 - Songs for Sanity

    http://gabrielpalmaguitar.files.wordpress.com/2010...

    BQ: No, artwork has no affect over the music. There are a lot of bands with kickass album covers that produce shitty music.

    BQ2: Cannibal Corpse tone is my favorite...it's chunky, thick, loud, and it twists your brain.

    BQ3: I ate Cookie Crisp for breakfast...how exciting....

  • Loveless - My Bloody Valentine

    BQ2: ?

    BQ3: Went to SunFest and saw Rise Against. Pretty awesome. Some guy literally crowsurfed standing up on a surfboard.

    BQ: Yes

    BQ2: BB King

    BQ3: Very much so~ spent the day with a friend at a botanical garden and then lazing around a park having a picnic and then checking out this little downtown area. And the weather was beautiful. How about yourself??

    Yeah, BRMC's Baby 81.

    http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JkmcvXFBtvE/Rv5FF1FzJlI/...

    Looks like an ES-335 Gibson to me. Either way, sick as hell.

    BQ - No, but I've purchased albums BASED on the artwork.

    BQ2 - I've always loved the acoustic guitar tone the Decemberists get in their song "Engine Driver" -- it sounds to me like a 12 string. It's so rich and full.

    BQ3 - Not really. I ate a sandwich.

    Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run
