Leslie West: Big Phat Ass Guitar
First off let me explain one thing. I grew up loving Mountain and Leslie West as a guitar player has influenced my life. I believe that the guitar solo on Theme From An Imaginery Western is one of the greatest solo's in the history of Blues/Rock music. Being a guitar player I cannot put this solo on without being tremendously moved every time. Leslie West is a Great/Good guitar player and has influenced many including myself.
Before I get to the Video I want to say that I recommend buying any Mountain CDs or any of the Leslie West solo project CDs on the market. I dig his music.
Now the video.
I really cannot express my disappointment in having spent money on this trash video. Not only is Leslie West a crass individual but the remarks made throughout the video are pretty disgusting. Including telling the viewers to go F*** themselves at the end. That really made me feel good after spending my hard earned money on this video. The video is filled with nothing except watching Leslie sit on a stool and as he refer's to a few times, playing the guitar is like jerking off. Again I was extremely disappointed in Leslie as a person, right down to the strip club where he must have a seat bought and paid for from sales of this trash.
I would in no way want a young new inspired guitar player to see this video and think this is what it's all about. Playing the guitar is one thing but a lifestyle choice and what you portray to young people as a role model is another.
Do not waste your time or money on this shabbily, and disappointing thrown together video. I tell it the way it is, and this is nothing but trash.

Park Tool BBB-2 The Big Blue Book of Repair - 2nd Edition
I've used the 1974 2nd edition of the classic book - The Complete Book of Bicycling (4th Edition) to repair my bikes, but technology has changed. So I picked up the Big Blue Book in the bike shop. I've repaired my own bikes for over 40 years, mainly by trial and error. So when I was greasing the ball bearings in my back wheel and missed putting one of them back I thought it was time to see how to do it properly. The Big Blue Book had the answer - use a magnetized needle (I'm going to magnetize our meat skewer) to move the ball bearings back into place - I had actually used a magnetized screwdriver - the trouble being that the screwdriver would pull out an adjacent ball bearing when I was trying to push another one in. So this book had an immediate solution.
It's full of useful hints like the ball bearing trick, all beautifully illustrated with colored drawings. Detailed steps tell you how to carry out maintenance tasks, and when to take your bike to a shop for more difficult jobs.
Since the book is sponsored by Park Tool, and I already had a few of their tools, it tells you which of their tools to use. Now some of the tools are really specialized for bikes - like the third hand tool to grip a cable. Other tools you may not need to buy if you have a good quiver of hex wrenches.
The book starts by telling you how to get started in bike repair, get a good bike stand and organize hang up your tools on pegboard. It then gives a maintenance schedule for your bike - I'm a little surprised it recommends checking for chain stretch every 100 miles - some must pedal their bikes much harder than I do! It goes on to describe basics like how to mend a flat tire, but then gets into wheel and hub maintenance. Crankset removal is quite tricky unless you have the right tools and it is here where the book shines as it tells you exactly what you need to install or maintain cranks. The book continues with maintenance procedures for gears, brakes, handlebars and headsets.
I like the way the book uses tables to describe the tools required for parts from different manufacturers. At the end of the book is a table with the names of Park Tools that are available by generic tool category. There's also a comprehensive glossary of biking terms. If you have a torque wrench there's a table that explains how much torque is required for certain bike fixtures.
Whether you are just starting to maintain a bike or are an old pro who needs some up-to-date advice, this is a most useful book.
Editorial Review :: A visit to your local mechanic costs you time and money, especially when you could learn to pull that bottom bracket yourself. But even the most seasoned home mechanic will find the Park Tool book useful when there's a $5k jewel dangling from the stand. Compiled and updated yearly by the number-one bike-tool company in the world, the Big Blue Book contains step-by-step instructions for repairing everything from road to bmx bikes, whether you're doing simple maintenance or a complete overhaul. Lots of photos allow your 6-year-old daughter to walk you through the most complicated of repairs, and as a result you'll spend less money on six-packs for your local mechanic.
