  1. WHERE DO WE SEE HIM LIVE???
    Mark Oxlade

    My wife and I still have a video of Thomas as a 10 year old on the telly playing Ozzy Osbourne’s Crazy Train. Just marvellous. As a hacker with an accoustic, I have often wished for the brilliance that touches certain souls. These bloody fingers of mine just don’t move fast enough! Good luck Thomas where ever you are and thanks for lifting the spirit. Cheers, M. PS Any ideas as to the subject headline?

        Hi Nina,
        What does T.M. do now? I heard that he works in a guitar store in England. Has he given up playing all together? That would be a shame.

        Looks like there were alot on line at the same time. Scary! I’m not sure why this is here, but I thought I’d throw my two cents in too. I’m straight, I don’t play guitar and I don’t know why so many versions of the name "April" exist. Who knew?

  2. To all you Steve vai fans, did you know that Vai Destroyed the life and career of Thomas Mcrocklin? Vai forced Thomas to watch hard core porn at the age 10! And exposed himself to the child and other things to bad to mention, The truth and the whole truth will be headlines soon he totaly destroyed the best prodidgy in the world

      Steve did not make me watch porn or expose himself to me in any way and I am disgusted by these nasty rumors. He was nothing but kind to me and the other B4G boys and treated us like his own sons, so the only reason I left B4G is I wanted to do something else.
      So, I would appreciate your ceasing and desisting these rumors and I’d like to say that the real truth will set you free, the_truth.

      God Bless,

      Thomas

        Hey Thomas……. I finally found you! (I think)….. It’s me Sam Alvarado from California writing you. How are you doing? Do you play guitar still? The last time we spoke was at Steves house probably around 7 years ago. Brooks has been trying to get in contact with you whenever he tours the UK but has no phone number for you. Email me if you get this. Hope all is well with you.

I must say it’s kinda weird seeing people trying to be me on this thread… as it looks like anybody can be anybody here with only email needed. I will send you an email and get in contact with you > Look out for my email later. Take care – Thomas

            Oh my good-lord. I can not believe my Thomas posts on this board. that is so cool. Well, Thomas was my "first love" so to speak. I was 13 and Metal Edge magazine was my lord & saviour every month. Glad to hear you are doing well!

  4. I love my jem
    Eric

    I play a Jem 7V white and I love it. Jems for ever. I dont care what some people may say about Ibanez but I believe that they are some of the best sounding guitars on the market.

    yann

    hi

  6. Ibanez JEM guitars
    mICHAEL cAILLET

    I currently own an Ibanez JS guitar.It’s a really great guitar, but I the JEM seems to be a great guitar too… Should I sold My JS to buy a JEM ?…

      jemke

      I own both a Jem77FP and a JS1000. Both great sounding guitars. But I am thinking of swapping my JS into another JEM. I first owned my Jem and 2 years later I bought my JS. The JS couldn’t win! I like the neck more of Jem and the overall playabillity, but that’s my opinion. The JS sounds more bluesy and plays more like Fender. Just play them beside each other and feel and listen carefully!

      the js is a really good guitar – i myself have a jem BSB but it was a really hard desicion to make when compared to the js1000, which really rocks too. i prefer the look of the jems and of course the evolution pu’s which warm the cleanest of sounds, but it doesn’t do satch sounds better than a js. its all a matter of tone and what sound you want ou of it. if u have acheaper js model, u might sell it to get sumthing else, but a js1000 kicks ass even tho’ its not as ‘well known’ (u know what i mean) as a jem.

  7. prices......
    jesse rivera

    1. Re: prices......
      daz

      your best bet is mail order. i live in england and although the prices are higher than in the states, some mailorder firms can sell u it much cheaper than the rrp, like, say, £300 cheaper for a brand spanking new one. haggle haggle then haggle some more :o)
