Arcade Gannon - Fallout: New Vegas fan art by LeiRen

[fuckyeahvanhalen86-95]

David Lee Roth detailed how he helped conceive the design for Eddie Van Halen’s iconic Frankenstrat guitar.

The frontman recently shared a painting titled “Big Wave,” which fans apparently thought bore a resemblance to Van Halen’s signature red, white and black Fender Stratocaster. On Friday, Roth uploaded a video to YouTube in which he explained that the similarities were not coincidental.

"We've been getting a lot of cards and letters — digitally, so to speak — in regards to [the fact] that there's similarities between my work and the stripes on Eddie's guitar, and that's because it's my work," Roth began. He then reminisced about walking into band practice circa 1975 or 1976 with a roll of gray duct tape, black electrician’s tape and blue art tape, all of which would prove instrumental in the design of the Frankenstrat.

Roth said Van Halen’s guitar was originally white and “eerily reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix.” He suggested the guitarist implement an “expanding linear pattern” to differentiate his axe from that of Hendrix, whose 1970 death was still fresh in people’s minds.

“We laid it down and kaboom. Within like four minutes, I laid it out,” Roth continued. He said the “little squiggle” on the guitar body came from the black electrician’s tape, which quickly pulled as Van Halen worked up a sweat while performing “five 45-minute sets a night.”

To combat the pulling of the tape, Van Halen instead opted to “spray paint [the guitar] and pull the tape, like pin-striping a low-rider,” creating a “half-tone version” of the body akin to a negative of a photograph. “Essentially — I say with a great big sense of humor — I invented coffee, they invented a cup,” Roth joked.

The singer said Van Halen later added colors to the Frankenstrat and recalled stopping at a “famous truck stop” in San Bernardino, Calif. “I came back with one of those little bubble convex mirrors and a couple little red reflectors and said, ‘Cherry on top,’” he remembered.

Roth said Van Halen’s guitar tech, Rudy Leiren, gave each version of the burgeoning Frankenstrat a name. “The very first name, I don’t recollect. It may well have been Frankenstein,” he said.

The singer also said his former bandmate "developed an industry" with his guitar design. “Eddie was way better at business than I have ever been,” Roth confessed. “They started an industry. It’s not just a franchise. It’s a way of thinking [about] guitar. It’s one of the most recognizable symbols of all time in the sport in this regard here.”

Roth made sure to emphasize that his idea for the Frankenstrat was merely a kernel, which Van Halen brought to fruition. “Somebody somewhere said, ‘Wouldn’t it be easier…’ which is Latin for, ‘Spray paint the motherfucker and pull the tape,’” he joked. “That design wouldn’t have gone anywhere without Eddie sending it and giving it the shape and shine that it did. I’m just proud to have been part of it. The first part.”

I wonder if I can pull this off...

meh. I'll find out soon.

Patience. Patience.

There's nothing I could say more. They're right, though. In my seven months of playing, I've bought seven (that includes IAPs and passes). As I heard from others, events come every year, and some items might disappear, too. So I decided that I'll only buy passes instead of those overpriced (?) *ahem* cosmetics. It's cheaper for me. AND I always plan how I want my Sky kid to look like for me to be satisfied with. I want to remind everyone to be smart. Plan it. In my first month of playing, I got so overwhelmed when I saw everyone's pretty cosmetics. I don't even know how this pricing works but I get the players' point.

not the screenshots but here i am addressing the prices of the days of mischief event.

as a player of 5 years, this makes me want to quit the game and NOT because i don’t have money to afford it (i do, but i’m mostly f2p for the past few months now) but because i feel like tgc has long lost the respect they had for their players.

Fredag 29. Mars: Vintercamp dag 4 雪学4日目

Aller siste dagen her! For å være ærlig, så trodde jeg at vintercampen var fra mandag til fredag, så trodde vi hadde enda én dag til her, men der tok jeg feil. Fikk vite det i går.

Hotaru og Arthur.

I dag var det eneste vi gjorde på campen var å stå opp, spise frokost, pakke bagasjen og å ha en avslutningssamling før vi dro hjem med Shinkansen.

Hva som ventet oss da vi kom tilbake til Higashikurume.

Var veldig sliten så ser død ut i øynene.

Rett på Hippo hos Totto-chan. Denne gangen i huset hennes. Mer som et afterparty.

Glad for å se mat. Fikk bare ris og grønnsaker til lunsj i dag, fordi kjøttet inneholdt sikkert melk eller noe, så var ganske sulten selv om jeg spiste opp litt av det Hotaru ikke spiste.

Litt av en busstur. Musikk i bussen er sikkert uvant for japanerne, så vi ble ganske stirret ned.

Oppsummering av leiren:

Synes det var veldig gøy, pluss at jeg er veldig glad for at jeg fikk treffe utvekslingsvennene mine igjen. På den andre siden følte jeg en form for ensomhet store deler av tiden, men slik er det bare. Det er fortsatt vanskelig for meg å delta i samtaler om det er store grupper, så derfor leter jeg alltid etter folk som ser enslige ut og snakker med dem. Denne gangen var det litt vanskelig å finne slike folk på campen. Uansett, hadde det stort sett kjekt de fire dagene vi hadde! ❤️

some info about WW2 in Norway.

in October 1944 there were 65 868 prisoners of war in work camps, or "destruction camps". They were underfed, tortured and killed. Some of them were put under the roads the Nazis decided the PoWs would make in Northern Norway. (possibly to get to Russia by our border up there, I don't exactly remember)

Who were these prisoners of war? you may not ask yourself, but it's actually not Jews (I think), it was Serbians, Poles and Yugoslavs (and maybe Russians?). I think mostly people who fought back, but I'm not entirely sure.

under the cut is the direct quote in Norwegian (bokmål) from the book I'm getting this from, by Jarle Elvemo

Dødsleirene på norsk jord: en beretning om norske tilintetgjørelses- og krigsfangeleirer og andre krigstragedier

(English: the death camps on Norwegian soil: a report about Norwegian destruction- and PoW camps and other war tragedies) - that's the title.

(this is like page 40 or 50 or something)

Tusener sultet i hjel i de første krigs- årene, spesielt frem til våren 1943. Etter den tid var fortsatt sultproblemet stort, aller størst blant de russiske fangene. I 1944 ble det foretatt en økning i ukerasjonene på grunn av fangenes helsetilstand.

Vernemaktens (Wehrmacht) overkommando beskrev årlig helsetilstanden til fangene og hvor mange som ikke var i arbeid. Stort sett betydde det å ikke være i arbeid at fangene var i sykeleir eller ikke i stand til å bevege seg ut på arbeidsplassene. 1. desember 1942 var antall krigsfanger i Vernemaktens rapport 21 260; derav var 1946 ikke i arbeid. 1.oktober 1943 var tallene 47 466 og 4 531 ikke i arbeid. 1. oktober 1944 var det 65 868 fanger hvorav 5 267 ikke var arbeidsføre (antall varierer sterkt i ulike kilder). Nyere kilder har vist at vanligvis var det mellom 20 og 30 prosent syke i leirene, i enkelte leirer enda høyere tall.

Bevis for at CO2 ikke styrer temperatur eller klima

IPCC leiren og våre myndigheter kjører et knallhard konsensus om at vårt CO2 utslipp driver temperaturen på Jorden som deretter påfører oss en menneskeskapt klimakrise. De bruker milliarder av kroner på å få oss til Net-Zero via deres klimapolitikk som i realiteten er en total omlegging av hele planetens energisystem i løpet av bare en generasjon. Alt dette er basert på troen om at CO2 er…
