Is Shawshank a ripoff of Alcatraz?
Comparing these two movies pokes the hornet's nest.
The Shawshank Redemption, considered to be one of the greatest movies of all time by many, was released 1994.
Escape from Alcatraz, while not nearly as well known but still darned good, was released 1979.
Like a lot of people, I saw Shawshank first and Alcatraz later. There are many who say Shawshank rips off Alcatraz big time.
Does it?
This is for player who wants "all guitar" with no fluff whatsoever.
Something you'll notice about some famous guitar players is that they purposely play instruments that are very stripped down to only the absolute minimum hardware required to get the job done. Why? Two reasons. To eliminate as much as possible that could unnecessarily break, and to avoid distraction.
This brings us to the Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HH HT E.
Side note to Charvel before continuing: Could you please stop using guitar model names that read like a serial number? Thanks in advance.
Moving on..
Some styles of the past come back into fashion. This one didn't.
A clarification up front: I'm not talking about tribal art. When you look up tribal art, you'll see many interesting art pieces, much of which is ceremonial and/or religious...
...but that's not what a tribal graphic is.
In the mid-to-late 2000s, tattoos were the Thing of The Moment. There were even a few television shows made just about tattooing, such as Miami Ink. Every tattoo show was all sorts of terrible. Trash TV at its finest.
Tattoo culture birthed what's known as the tribal graphic. And with that I have to make another clarification...
