A "Must Have" for vintage Kiss fans

Thu, 25 Jan 2007 23:52:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - Look, lets face facts: Gene Simmons could market ice to an eskimo (which isn't necessarily a bad skill). That said, this DVD likely won't convert any Kiss-haters or even casual Kiss fans into the Kiss Army legion. Historical footage and audio recorded...

Great guitar slinger, great band

Thu, 28 Dec 2006 12:13:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - Albert Lee, for those who are unfamiliar with him, is an exceptionally talented guitar player famous for playing guitar with the Everly Brothers many years ago. He has since made his mark as something of a country blues/roots-type player. He has been...

Good value in a hunting/birding binocular

Tue, 29 Nov 2005 00:11:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - For a compact, lightweight set of binoculars that features fully multi-coated lenses, the Nikon Monarch is an excellent value. The twist-up eyecups will be appreciated by the many eyeglass wearers (like myself) who have a need to use binoculars on more...

Going through the motions

Wed, 19 Jan 2005 18:23:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - As a guitar player, I've always admired Dave Mason. After all, he DID write "Feelin' Alright", though I will be the first to admit that Joe Cocker did it better, despite being written by DM. I saw this DVD at a friend's house and bought it pretty...

Exceptional

Wed, 19 Jan 2005 18:00:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - I've been a lifelong Rush fan (mostly in the 80s, before my musical tastes REALLY starting expanding), and was talked into buying this DVD recently by a friend who happens to be a drummer. The reason will be obvious shortly. I've always thought that...

An invaluable tool for ice fishermen

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 12:42:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - I need to preface my review by saying my Vexilar FL-8 SLT model is probably two years older than the model under review, but they are substantially the same, and I'm confident that this review can be applied equally to the newer model. I suppose this...

An excellent Santana video (but get the DVD)

Fri, 10 Dec 2004 21:43:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - I've been a Santana fan since my first show in 1980. Since then, I've missed only a single show that Santana has played in my state (he tours annually, and usually includes the US each year; sometimes not, but not very often). That said..........

Excellent value for a 2-way radio

Wed, 7 Jul 2004 17:29:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - I've used Motorola 2-ways on construction projects before, and have always found them to be pretty reliable. As the other users (and much of the information you've probably already read if you are now reading this) thoroughly document the technical...

Just so-so

Wed, 7 Jul 2004 16:34:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - I recently won this driver at an outing, and because I wasn't in the market for a driver (I'm still very happy w/my Cleveland Quad Pro Titanium), I did a little research. It seems there were two common themes, one of which I don't necessarily agree...

Jeep Grand Cherokee - 170K and still going strong

Fri, 19 Apr 2002 00:23:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - After three years in a Cherokee Sport, I moved up to the Grand Cherokee for the better ride. And there IS a major difference in the ride of a Sport compared to that of the Grand Cherokee. The standard Cherokee was on the rocky side (meaning a little...

A Grammy Award-winning effort

Thu, 18 Apr 2002 14:45:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - This is a solid collection of Pat Metheny music, but more specifically, the Pat Metheny Group's music. Metheny's other solo music outside the group is normally something quite different. Not that this is a bad thing!

The opening track starts...

Great stuff, plain and simple

Thu, 18 Apr 2002 14:09:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - Great interplay between Danny Gatton (one of the most underrated guitarists to come along in many years, and whose popularity only increased after his untimely suicide a couple years ago), and a young B3 wizard known as Joey DeFrancesco (this CD was...

Finally, some corroborated truth

Wed, 17 Apr 2002 16:56:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - Conservatives, understandably enough, hate this book. The reception it received by the right was very similar to that of David Brock's new "Blinded By the Right". Why all the hate? Why not? The right appears to hate everything and everyone not of...

Simply a great putter!

Wed, 17 Apr 2002 13:34:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - After deciding to ramp up on the putter, I began the research. I had originally been after a Ping Anser, but after noticing and trying the Triforce 1 at Dick's Sporting Goods (along with about 12 other similarly-styled putters, including all of the...

This ball is a player

Wed, 17 Apr 2002 13:16:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - I recently scored a dozen Strata Tour Professionals after doing (as always) extensive research. I'm happy to say that they have performed admirably.

You may not get the extreme distance you get with the titanium distance balls, but the feel...

A great value!

Tue, 16 Apr 2002 22:51:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - After reading review after review after review on web page after web page after web page (you too, huh?), I finally picked one up from wholesalegolfequipment.com (a great place to do business with, by the way). Every review I read included a...

Excellent GPS unit!

Fri, 29 Mar 2002 22:25:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - With much trepidation, I finally jumped into the GPS realm with this unit. I had many fears of hard-to-follow instructions and disappointing results. To my pleasant surprise, Garmin came through with flying colors with the eTrex Legend.

It's...

Go for the real deal

Fri, 29 Mar 2002 21:43:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rushlies - As a self-taught, 25-year player of the Stratocaster (the only electric guitar I've ever owned after the first Fender Mustang I got when I was 12), I'd say that those considering this model are at least in the right ball park. In my opinion, the Strat...
