Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Would you enlighten me, please, who is this articulate British gentleman telling these no-nonsense histories of rhythm music, musicians and music teachers.

my sense of humor says thank you!
Oh yeah, that sounds familiar, Ritchie tearing eardrums on the factory floor, a non-appreciative workforce, initial Marshalls that sounded awful and were essentially Vox amps dressed up – Ritchie first mentioned all this in a latish 70s interview to some guitar mag. He basically only wanted a Marshall because he liked the imposing look of their new amps and speaker cabs. I remember him saying that his first own Marshall had basically VOX AC 30 entrails and that its master volume was then increased step by step over time until Ritchie had his 300 watt monster.
Yet at MK II’s height of popularity a few years later, Marshall amplification was a pivotal part of their sound. Ritchie, Jon and Roger ALL played over Marshall guitar amps. That Roger played Marshall and Glenn Hughes Hiwatt had a lot to do with how they sounded different on record.
Did English submarines ever do anything noteworthy except ferry the Trident nuclear retaliation strike force ballistic rockets around? 😂
