PBS - Soundstage... Check local listings.

Personally, REO Speedwagon represents everything that was bad about Middle-of-the Road Hair Band Ballad crap in the 70"s...
They played the kind of music that my Mother might have approved of...

All that said, Kevin Cronin(?) is playing a Black Viper (rhythm). He also plays a 12-String Blue-ish Viper...
So I guess that they can't be All bad! :rolleyes:

And there ain't much else on TV so I just saw this...
They are older, and their music is still kind Juvenile.

edit-- Now he's got a kinda barn-burst Viper. He's my Buddy now! :D
(I still ain't buying any of their albums)

Kevin's used EA Vipers for years. At least he has good taste in guitars.

Yeah, but the music biz is not about creating art, it's about selling records. Look at the crap that's moving off the shelves these days. If hair and spandex get it done one moment and droopy pants with attitude get it done the next, that's what you're gonna see.

Never was a big fan way back when, but I watched about 30 minutes and enjoyed it. It's always good to see the O's in action.
