If only I had $1500 to spare...ahh well...
i sure as fuck hope it goes for much more than that.
Oh it will, I'm just referencing the starter bid. Somewhere out there a rich Nile fan will see this and shell out $20,000 to put this in a place of honor.
Or, to play it once and give it back to Karl
i just checked the auction and there are still no bids or questions. i don't know much about ebay anymore but shouldn't there be something by now?
I'm from the same area as Karl and see him around from time to time and while I don't know him or his music that well, he always seems like a nice guy. Sucks to hear he's fallen on hard times.
Next time you do, buy him a beer. Or many.
I got to sit with a friend about 6 years ago while he interviewed Karl for a few hours and times were tough back then. He talked about how there is not too much money to be made in his profession but loves what he does. He was a divorced dad who is on the road a lot. I dont know how times wouldnt be tough and money low in that sort of situation.
That scalloped fret board is giving me a chub.
holy shit. and he says in there that times are tough and that's why he is selling. times should not be tough for Karl right now, but then again i know nothing of the music industry and so forth.
I don't think there is a single death metal band that lives comfortably off their music. Vader's latest album, for example, sold like 1100 copies in the first week of sales in Canada. It's really sad that my favorite musicians can't do what they love for a living.
That's why I try not to pirate most of my music.
