Thom Beebe: Assassin to Steampunk
Being a "Native" of San Diego and the creator of KGB-FM's "Metalshop" in 83 on the 101, I remember the band Assassin. I left here in 84 to work at the "Rocker" in San Francisco, so I missed "Those" times. I am here today to say this about Thom Beebe... He is one of the most unique guitarist I have had the pleasure to see up close and spend time with. All that "Could have been" or "Should have been" is B.S. Last time I saw him he was still above ground and playing like a "CowboyGypsy" and "AMadScientist". The road he's traveled is the same road that gave him the experience, wear and tear, bumps, bangs and flair that make him even more of a "BadAss" Voodoo making, cowboy hat wearing gunslinger that ever before... he plays with soul and with science. Watch him work those floor petals like a record producer while at the same time giving Keith Richards a run for his money in the "Swagger with credentials" department. His acoustic work would make a nun cry tears of joy. Just because somebody isn't 21 doesn't mean they aren't valid. In closing would you rather have a Dr. with years of experience operate on you or would you rather have one who's been in practice for a few years? Rock and roll was developed around 1951, not five years ago Jr.— November 11, 2011 8:25 a.m.
