And after meeting with the Wickersham family in person, I was able to direct my gratitude, respect, and admiration down to the human level. It was truly an amazing feeling of joy one must express, for a kid who came from the inner city, but happen to have a great set of ears, to full circle to Alembic's greatness In honor of George Clinton "Soul Hippies" Check out this video where George open up a jam called: "Cosmic Slop" Rocker - Eddie Hazel Kills an Alembic in over drive... And if that ain't "Illegal Yet" check out the second clip called: "Maggot Brain" Michael Hampton as the costumed as a Grim-Reepper, who's "killing me softy" with his Series I Guitar song!

Its what made me realize I could shred on my old Series! jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1465 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 9:36 am:    yeah it's good to know that an overdriven alembic can sound really good with a great bluesy sound. Fantastic clip. Is that the same guy who used to wear a nappy on-stage? jazzyvee hendixclarke Senior Member Username: hendixclarke Post Number: 710 Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 9:47 am:    That's Garry "Diaperman" Shider hendixclarke Senior Member Username: hendixclarke Post Number: 711 Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 10:04 am:    Mike always was the Grim Reeper. He always killed with his Alembic. Back in the day, with the Grim Reeper theme, he would wear a Fencing mask giving the appearance of a faceless immortal. That was Mike. He was out to kill the audience will killer solos using Alembics. Now those guys wear jeans, and colorful Hawaiian Shirts. Boy does times change. rockbassist Intermediate Member Username: rockbassist Post Number: 166 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 8:06 pm:    This is going to sound weird, but I have never seen a Star Wars Movie. The resemblance is uncanny though. I met George Clinton when I was playing in Nashville several years ago. He was very friendly, courteous and respectful.
