The 1980s was a time of rapid change in the music industry. We saw the compact disc facilitate a massive paradigm shift in the way music was created and marketed. The first wave of punk sputtered out and was replaced in the zeitgeist by new genres that often had the synthesizer or the turntable as the fulcrum. But despite this, guitar remained an influential part of the musical landscape, especially with hard rocking bands who pushed the boundaries of both guitar playing and fashion. Among this new generation of shredders, there was one brand that ruled the 1980s – Kramer Guitars. But despite being forever associated with the 80s and hair metal, the story of Kramer Guitars actually starts in the 70s and a very different type of guitar. Travis Bean’s name has become synonymous with the unconventional aluminium-necked guitars that bore his name, not to mention their iconic hollow T headstock. But Travis Bean Guitars was not a one-man operation when it started out in California in 1974, in fact Bean started the company with two business partners – Marc McElwee and Gary Kramer. According to Kramer, the business deal with Travis Bean began to sour when he applied for a patent in his own name rather than the name of the company. Business relationships were strained further when, according to Kramer, guitar construction started to be edged out by Bean’s new passion, drumming. Again, according to Kramer, Bean had converted a large section of the production floor space into a garage style-recording studio, complete with hundreds of egg cartons on the wall during a weekend when he was supposed to be filling orders to meet the incredible demand for the instrument bearing his name. One thing that we are certain of is that Kramer left Travis Bean in 1976 to found his own company along with a friend of Bean’s from New York, Dennis Berardi – Kramer Guitars was born, The initial Kramer prototypes were built by a man named Phillip J. Petillo who was also responsible for the Travis Bean prototypes. Kramer also sought out investors and found one in Henry Vaccaro. Vaccaro later sold his shares of the company in 1993 to Jackson Communications Inc, formed by the family of superstar Michael Jackson (which resulted in a cascade of legal issues that we simply don’t have the space to go into here!). Between 1976 and 1981, the guitars built under the Kramer banner had some strong resemblance to Travis Bean Guitars – most notably the aluminum necks and the forked headstock design. But Kramer necks featured an important distinction – instead of being built completely out of aluminum, Kramer Guitar necks had wooden inserts placed into the aluminum. This was done for two reasons – weight relief, and to make the necks feel a bit more akin to traditional guitar necks. There may have been some tonal implications to the decision as well. If you’ve ever used an aluminum necked guitar, you may notice that the first time you pick it up, the neck feels a bit cold. Aluminum conducts heat very well so when you first grab an aluminum neck, it draws the heat from your hand, giving you that cooling sensation, even at room temperature. The wooden inserts, set in epoxy, were usually walnut or maple, while the bodies were made of curly or Birdseye Maple, Koa, Afromosia, Swietenia, Shedua, and Bubinga. The bridges and tuning pegs were made by Schaller and the pickups were supplied by DiMarzio. The cavity covers on the guitars were made of aluminum. In late 1981, Kramer Guitars ditched the aluminum necks in favor of a more traditional construction design. There has been a lot of speculation as to what prompted this move, but like most things in the guitar business, it’s likely had to do with sales, or a lack of them. During the years leading up to 1981, the aluminum necked bass guitars were outselling guitars at a rate of about four to one, we can speculate that this was because bass players were more willing to try something new during that era. In any case, the first batches of guitars to come out with wooden necks featured Fender-shaped headstocks, much like the Charvels of that era. After only a thousand or so instruments were built, in May 1981, Kramer received a cease-and-desist order from Fender to halt the production of guitars with the headstock shape, which would lead Kramer to switch to a “beak” headstock. During this era, the production of guitar components was moved out of the US. The bodies were made in various factories in Eastern Asia. Tuners and tremolos were made by Gotoh in Japan, and the necks were made by Japan’s ESP Guitars, which started making replacement guitar parts and importing them to the US around the same time – they also made guitar parts for Schecter during that era. All the parts were shipped to New Jersey where they were assembled, and the guitars were finished. The executive team at Kramer were wise enough to see the trends that were brewing within the music industry, which included the Eddie Van Halen-driven desire for guitars with tremolo systems. Kramer partnered with a German inventor named Helmut Rockinger to build tremolos for their guitars but soon after, in 1982, they partnered with Floyd Rose to build tremolos as well and by 1983 Floyd Rose tremolo equipped guitars were flying off the shelves. Kramer was using Schaller to produce tuning pegs and they arranged for the company to start producing Floyd Rose tremolos as well. Crucially, Kramer was the only guitar company offering Original Floyd Rose tremolos stock on their production guitars at the time, giving them a massive EVH-sharpened edge when it came to marketing. In late 1983, Kramer again switched up their headstock design to the somewhat-Gibson Explorer-like “hockey stick” design. Around this time, Kramer came out with a new model, the Baretta which was used on stage by Eddie Van Halen. The EVH partnership with Kramer stemmed from a chance meeting between Dennis Berardi and Eddie Van Halen’s managers when they found themselves on the same flight – but it was an association that would define the brand. Kramer Guitars continued to evolve to incorporate popular changes in technology such as introducing Seymour Duncan pickups in late 1985 and embracing the bright flashy colors of the glam movement for finishes in the mid to late 80s. Following Eddie Van Halen’s lead, a lot of prominent guitarists were seen using Kramers such as Mick Mars and Vivian Campbell. Kramer understood the trends of the market and the power of celebrity and combined the two to become the best-selling brand of 1985 and 1986. The wave crashed in 1991 when the decline of hair metal (thanks in no small part to Slash) combined with an insurmountable number of financial issues, including a lawsuit from Floyd Rose. The company declared bankruptcy and was sold to Gibson.
In the years since Kramer guitars have continued to be made – albeit in small numbers and only in Gibson’s Asian factories, but in the years since the KKR-backed takeover of Gibson Brands following its bankruptcy in 2018, the Kramer band has become more visible. As shred guitar continues to enjoy a renaissance, the future for Kramer might be brighter than it has been in decades.

Western propaganda is burying the Chinese economy at the exact moment that BRICS is expanding, is it a coincidence? ‘Experts’ have been predicting the collapse of the Chinese and Russian economies for years, but the reality is invariably different.
The Economist has put out another cover story on China’s supposed economic decline. I wonder when they’ll all get tired of this theme? It’s even become a meme. In 2001, Gordon Chang, a famous American lawyer and political commentator with Chinese roots, wrote a book called ‘The Coming Collapse of China’. In fact, it was this book that made him famous. In it, the ‘expert’ argued that the country’s collapse was imminent. He even named the year – 2011. When the predicted events did not happen, Chang said he was wrong, but only by one year. In an article for Foreign Policy (FP) magazine, Chang claimed that the end of China was already near, and that everything would happen in 2012. He even urged readers to bet on it. But those promises never came to pass. Then, in 2016, the indefatigable Gordon again announced the coming collapse of China, but wisely did not give a date. Amusingly, in another FP piece, Chang urged people not to believe the IMF’s prediction that China’s economy would overtake that of the US by 2016. And in 2016, he wasn’t deterred by the fact that China had overtaken the US in terms of GDP converted into dollars at purchasing power parity. “Rising tensions within the regime, economic turmoil, and a more vibrant society. China appears to be entering a new period of extreme political instability,” wrote the perennially wrong expert in the National Interest. The Economist, continuing Chang’s glorious work, waits from cover to cover for the collapse of the Celestial Empire. It’s reminiscent of Jehovah’s Witnesses waiting for Armageddon, and seems oblivious to the fact that its content is detached from reality. But there is no creativity at all – just pandas and dragons. The West has been burying China’s economy for decades, in the same way it decided Russia’s economy was dead after the start of the military operation in Ukraine. A strong Beijing and Moscow is the United States’ worst nightmare. Only a close alliance between Beijing and Moscow could be more frightening – and today that not only exists, but is gaining more supporters. Thus, it is impossible to judge the new wave of ‘forecasts’ and ‘analyses’ about the imminent decline of China in isolation from the latest BRICS summit, where it was announced that six more countries will join the format. The Wall Street Journal now says that the decision to include new players in BRICS is a victory for China and Russia. That doesn’t really fit with the new cover of The Economist, does it?

A group of EU nations bordering Belarus has demanded that Minsk expels the Russian Wagner private military company and repatriate illegal migrants allegedly massing in the country at their borders. Speaking on Monday during a joint press conference with his Latvian, Estonian, and Lithuanian counterparts, Polish Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski warned that the countries could shut their borders with Belarus.
“If there is a critical incident, regardless of whether it is at the Polish or Lithuanian border, we will retaliate immediately. All border crossings that have been opened so far will be closed,” Kaminski stated. He branded the Wagner Group an “extremely dangerous” yet “demoralized” force, which he claimed was “capable of anything.” Poland has repeatedly accused Belarus of facilitating illegal migration, alleging that it has deliberately been steering the flow of people from the Middle East and Africa to the EU. “This situation is escalating. For several months, we have been dealing with attempts by migrants to illegally cross [the border],” Kaminski said. According to the Polish border guard, some 19,000 migrants have tried to enter Poland from Belarus thus far this year, compared to 16,000 during all of 2022. The ultimatum to Minsk follows the death of Wagner Group leader Evgeny Prigozhin in a plane crash in Russia last week. Several other senior members of the private military company were also killed in the incident. Thus far, Minsk has not responded to the demands from Poland and the Baltic states. The Wagner Group was re-deployed to Belarus after launching a short-lived insurrection in Russia in late June. The presence of the group in Belarus has fueled the long-standing tensions between Minsk and Warsaw. Poland has claimed that the private military company is active along the border and is waging “hybrid warfare” against it. Minsk has dismissed the allegations, while Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claimed Warsaw had “gone mad” with speculation surrounding Wagner.

According to RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan, Former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson has been seeking an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“[Carlson] is strongly requesting an interview with Vladimir Putin,” Simonyan said on a talk show aired by the Rossiya-1 TV channel. “It would be great, if someone listens and notifies the president about this.” Carlson has not commented on the matter. Putin rarely gives one-on-one interviews to foreign media. His last lengthy conversation with a Western journalist was with CNBC anchor Hadley Gamble on the sidelines of the Russian Energy Week forum in Moscow in October 2021. ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’, which aired on Fox from 2016 to 2023, was the highest-rated show on US cable news. Carlson was abruptly fired from the channel in April. According to the journalist, the termination was a condition of the settlement that Fox News reached with the Dominion Voting Systems, which sued the channel for defamation over its coverage of the US 2020 presidential election.

Bernie Marsden – former Whitesnake guitarist and a legend in the blue-rock sphere – has died at the age of 72. The news, first broken by bassist and friend of Marsden Neil Murray, has since been confirmed by Marsden’s record label Conquest Music, which writes: “On behalf of his family, it is with deep sadness we announce the death of Bernie Marsden. Bernie died peacefully on Thursday evening with his wife, Fran, and daughters, Charlotte and Olivia, by his side.” “Bernie never lost his passion for music, writing and recording new songs until the end,” the label adds.
Born in Buckinghamshire, England on May 7, 1951, Bernard John Marsden landed his first professional guitar gig with UFO in 1972. Thereafter, he worked with Glenn Cornick’s Wild Turkey, Cozy Powell’s band Cozy Powell’s Hammer, and Babe Ruth, with whom he played on two releases: Stealin’ Home (1975) and Kid’s Stuff (1976).
He later played in short-lived band Paice Ashton Lord, which was formed of former Deep Purple members Ian Paice and Jon Lord with singer Tony Ashton. But the gig he perhaps became best known for came in 1978, when he formed a new band with David Coverdale and guitarist Mick Moody, originally named David Coverdale’s Whitesnake. The band later changed their name to simply Whitesnake. Marsden was a member of Whitesnake between 1978 and 1982, during which time he appeared on the band’s first EP, first five albums and a live album: Snakebite (1978), Trouble (1978), Lovehunter (1979), Ready & Willing (1980), Live In The Heart Of The City (1980), Come An’ Get It (1981) and Saints & Sinners (1982). Saints & Sinners would see Marsden, alongside Coverdale, pen the biggest hit of his career: the anthemic Here I Go Again.

* grid penalty Rocker Alice Cooper described “gender-affirming” medical procedures for children as a “fad” in an interview with Stereogum magazine on Wednesday, drawing criticism from Billboard and other establishment outlets.
Cooper, whose on-stage look features theatrical costumes, long hair and plenty of eyeliner, acknowledged that “there are cases of transgender,” but argued it was “also a fad,” with “a lot of people claiming to be this just because they want to be that.” He criticized adults who he said are planting the idea in children’s heads and confusing them at a vulnerable time, explaining: “You’re still trying to find your identity, and yet here’s this thing going on, saying, ‘Yeah, but you can be anything you want. You can be a cat if you want to be.’” Cooper, whose real name is Vincent Furnier, continued with a broader swipe at “the whole woke thing,” questioning who was “making the rules” that imposed politically-correct neologisms on the English-speaking population. “Is there a building somewhere in New York where people sit down every day and say, ‘OK, we can’t say ‘mother’ now. We have to say ‘birthing person.’ ‘Get that out on the wire right now’? Who is this person that’s making these rules?” he asked, dismissing the phenomenon as an absurdist “comedy.” While the interviewer mentioned other glam rockers who had opined on the trans issue and then eaten their words after public backlash, Cooper insisted he was not being “old school” in his views but simply “logical,” arguing his opinions were those of the vast majority. The 75-year-old rock star said that biological males identifying as women could pose a threat to women and girls in public bathrooms, saying that a predator could “just say ‘I just feel like I’m a woman today’ and have the time of his life in there.” “Somebody’s going to get raped,” he warned. Transgender activists have attempted to downplay such incidents, and a Virginia school district even moved a supposedly gender-nonconforming pupil who assaulted a girl in the restroom to another school – only for him to reoffend. Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley was excoriated earlier this year over comments on the “dangerous fad” of gender-affirming care for children. When Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider retweeted those comments, he was similarly attacked and even had his invitation to march as a grand marshal with the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade retracted due to his alleged transphobia, despite insisting he supports the community. Red Bull's Max Verstappen sets Clear Goal for himself as Formula 1 Season resumes at Zandvoort25/8/2023 This weekend's Dutch Grand Prix marks the return of Formula One action, and Max Verstappen has claimed that Red Bull and himself are both totally committed to "doing the same thing" in order to maintain their winning streaks. After a month-long summer break, F1 returns to action with the Dutch Grand Prix this weekend. The tight, winding Zandvoort track will host its first two practise sessions on Friday, followed by the final practice and qualifying on Saturday and the Grand Prix itself on Sunday.
Verstappen has won the last eight races in a row coming into his home country. If he wins another race on the challenging Zandvoort track, he will match Sebastian Vettel's record of nine victories for all time. Meanwhile, Red Bull is attempting to extend their streak of 13 straight victories in races, dating back to the season-ending race in Abu Dhabi last year. Red Bull just broke McLaren's previous mark of 11 victories from the 1988 season. Verstappen provided some information about the strategy he and the Milton Keynes team will employ in the second half of 2023. “Just try to keep on doing the same thing – that would be nice. But, of course, after a break, you never know how you get back into things. Also [with] the track, and the weather that is forecast, I think it's always a bit more tricky. We'll see. We have a quick car, but it's again about putting everything together to have a really strong weekend," Formula 1 quoted the reigning double-world champion Verstappen as saying. When asked about Red Bull's chances of maintaining their 100% victory record in the races to come, Verstappen said, “Honestly, I don't think we really think about it too much. We just want to look ahead and try to always bring the best possible car to the track. I think everyone is always trying to prepare in that way." “Of course, we want to win here, there's no secret about that. It's one of my favourite places to be, and to win is… It's always very special here, so for sure that's the target for the weekend," the Red Bull driver said. Saudi Arabia and Iran are among six countries to join BRICS as new members next year, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced, on the final day of a summit of the group that considers itself a counterweight to Western powers.The group encompassing five major emerging economies – China, Brazil, South Africa, Russia and India – which makes decisions by consensus, agreed on “the guiding principles, standards, criteria and procedures of the BRICS expansion process”, during the three-day annual summit held in Johannesburg this week, Ramaphosa said on Thursday. As part of the first phase, Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates will join Saudi Arabia and Iran to become full BRICS members in January 2024. Other phases will follow. “This membership expansion is historic,” said Chinese President Xi Jinping. “The expansion is also a new starting point for BRICS cooperation. It will bring new vigour to the BRICS cooperation mechanism and further strengthen the force for world peace and development.”
A senior adviser to Iran’s president on Thursday welcomed the country’s admission to the grouping. “Permanent membership in the group of global emerging economies is considered a historic development and a strategic success for the foreign policy of the Islamic republic,” Mohammad Jamshidi wrote on X, which was previously known as Twitter. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed hailed what he called “a great moment” for his country. “Ethiopia stands ready to cooperate with all for an inclusive and prosperous global order,” Abiy said on Twitter. The core group of five BRICS countries has been discussing the issue of expansion for more than a year, Ramaphosa said, and the new members were invited this week after an agreement was reached at the summit. The expansion of the group is part of its plan to build dominance and reshape global governance into a “multipolar” world order that puts voices of the Global South at the centre of the world agenda. The inclusion of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iran and Egypt marks the first MENA representation in the group, and the inclusion of Argentina was championed by member Brazil. Expansion was pushed heavily by Russia and China, analysts said, as they are facing pushback from Western nations in the form of sanctions. Other BRICS countries were initially more ambivalent, but leaders came out in vocal support of the plan this week. The grouping of emerging economies has been in formal existence for 15 years. Some experts told Al Jazeera that it has not achieved much and the diffuse nature of their political and social interests means BRICS leaders do not always agree on issues. Some say that has prevented them from becoming a more powerful or effective entity. Russian authorities have confirmed that a private jet with Wagner Group founder Evgeny Prigozhin listed as a passenger crashed between Moscow and St. Petersburg on Wednesday, killing all on board. What details have been confirmed? The Russian Emergencies Ministry confirmed that the jet plunged to the ground in Tver Region, and that all three crew and seven passengers on board were killed. The ministry said that the jet, an Embraer 135BJ Legacy 600, was traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg at the time of the incident. Rosaviatsiya, the Russian federal air transport agency, said that Prighozhin was on board, along with several high-ranking Wagner commanders. Was the crash caught on camera? Several short clips of the crash have circulated on social media. Videos published by the Mash and Baza Telegram channels appear to show the jet plummeting toward the ground in a seemingly uncontrolled spin, leaving behind a trail of black smoke. It is unclear from the clips which part of the aircraft had caught fire.
After levelling off at 28,000 feet at 6:10pm (15:10 GMT) Flightradar24 says the aircraft continued in level flight at consistent speed until 6:19pm (15:19GMT) at which point the vertical rate decreased dramatically causing the aircraft to descend briefly before climbing to a maximum altitude of 30,100 feet and then dropping to roughly 27,500 feet. Flightradar24 says the plane then climbed once more reaching 29,300 feet and levelling off once again before eventually spiralling into a fall to the ground.
Is Prigozhin definitely dead? Although Rosaviatsiya listed Prigozhin’s name among those aboard, it did not explicitly pronounce the Wagner chief dead. As of late Wednesday evening, Russian officials said that they had recovered eight bodies, though none had been named by that time. All were described as badly burned. Some Russian outlets identified the plane’s tail number as RA-02795, which is believed to belong to Prigozhin. According to flight-tracking site FlightRadar24, a second plane linked to Prigozhin with the tail number RA-02878 departed Moscow shortly after the first, but returned to land after news of the crash broke. None of these reports have been officially confirmed. Who else was on board? In addition to Prigozhin, Rosaviatsiya said Dmitry Utkin – a former Russian special forces operator and alleged co-founder of the PMC – was also traveling on the jet, as was Valery Chekalov, whom the US considers to be the deputy head of Wagner. The remaining passengers listed were Sergey Propustin, Evgeny Makaryan, Alexander Totmin, and Nikolay Matuseev, identified by Russian news outlets as Wagner. Who is Evgeny Prigozhin? A successful businessman in the catering industry and a confidant of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Prigozhin founded the Wagner Group, a private military company (PMC), in 2014. Although the Wagner Group was founded in 2014 and took part in hostilities in the formerly Ukrainian Donbass region, Prigozhin refused to confirm his role in the company until last year. Wagner troops have operated in multiple African countries and in Syria, where they reportedly clashed with US forces in 2018. With his troops fighting in the months-long battle for the city of Artyomovsk (known as Bakhmut in Ukraine), Prigozhin made regular statements to the media and publicly feuded with the Russian Defense Ministry earlier this year, accusing top officials of mismanaging the conflict and denying him adequate ammunition. How did Wagner’s mutiny play out? Prigozhin claimed in June that Russian forces shelled a Wagner field camp, where the PMC’s troops had been resting and rearming following the capture of Artyomovsk the previous month. The Wagner founder then announced that he would lead his forces in a march on Moscow to remove allegedly corrupt military officials. Putin described the mutiny as a “stab in the back” and promised “decisive actions” to restore order. However, less than a day after it began, the rebellion was defused thanks to mediation by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Prigozhin agreed that the men who took part in the mutiny would be redeployed to Belarus, while those who refused would be incorporated into units under the control of the Russian Defense Ministry.
Thaksin’s signature policies included a universal healthcare scheme opening virtually free treatment for basic ailments to tens of millions of poor for the first time, as well as village clinics and start-up funds. “He has always helped making our lives better,” 63-year-old Ankana Nattakit from Nakon Ratchasima said. “No other prime minister has done nearly anything as much for us. He’s the prime minister of the grassroots people.”
Vote on new PM Pheu Thai, the latest incarnation of Thaksin’s party, came second in elections held in May. After the progressive Move Forward Party, which won the election, was unable to form a government because military-appointed senators in the upper house refused to support it, Pheu Thai cobbled together a grouping of parties, including those backed by the military. A vote was underway on Tuesday that could lead to the party’s Srettha Thavisin, a property tycoon, becoming prime minister. Srettha has the backing of 314 legislators in the lower house but needs an additional 58 votes to secure the job, which requires the backing of a majority of both houses. The Netherlands and Denmark said on Sunday that they would give Ukraine long-demanded F-16 fighter jets. The move was announced during a meeting between Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, as the leaders toured an airbase in Eindhoven.
“Today we can announce that the Netherlands and Denmark commit to the transfer of F-16 aircraft to Ukraine and the Ukrainian Air Force, including cooperation with the United States and other partners once the conditions for such a transfer have been met,” Rutte said during a joint press conference with Zelensky. The prime minister noted that his country has 42 aircraft of this type, but that it is too early to say how many will be donated to Kiev. At least 12 of the aircraft had been up for sale, with the Netherlands and Argentina negotiating a potential deal for the planes for several years. Zelensky hailed the decision as a “historic” breakthrough, and implied that Amsterdam would hand over its entire F-16 inventory to Ukraine. “Mark Rutte and I agreed on the number of F-16s that will be provided to Ukraine – after training our pilots and engineers. 42 planes. And this is just the beginning,” Zelensky wrote on Telegram. Simultaneously, the Danish Defense Ministry released a statement, confirming the country will provide Kiev with F-16s. The ministry did not disclose the exact number of planes to be sent, confirming the aircraft will be supplied under certain “conditions,” which “include, but are not limited to, successfully selected, tested and trained Ukrainian F-16 personnel as well as necessary authorizations, infrastructure and logistics.” “Denmark’s support for Ukraine is unwavering, and with the donation of F16 aircraft, Denmark is now leading the way,” Defense Minister Jakob Ellemann-Jensen stated. Both the Netherlands and Denmark are in the process of phasing out older US-made F-16 fighter jets and replacing them with modern F-35s. Denmark has around 40 aircraft of the older type in its inventory. Kiev has long demanded combat aircraft from its Western backers, arguing that F-16s – and, potentially, planes of other types – would help turn the tide in the conflict with Russia. Moscow has repeatedly urged the West to stop “pumping” Ukraine with sophisticated weaponry, arguing that it will only prolong the hostilities without changing the outcome. |
