1+1=1 ... losing our identities Being in love ... is a totally different way of experiencing life. Being in love ... is amazing. But … love is not for everyone. Yes ... Not any of us can understand and accept the illogical rules of love. And ... the truth is ... we are afraid of getting lost ... of losing our souls ... our identities ... our minds. I was in love. ... not only one time. I dare to write about love ... cause i was into that ... heaven ... but unfortunately the emotional balance made me feel ... the hell too. Love is ... duality. I've felt it. I've strongly felt it. And I've understood that 1+1=1. I was so connected ... that I've totally lost my identity. ... becoming one with the other soul. My ego ... disappeared. All my existence ... changed. I was ... here ... but actually living only and only into that story. ... into that parallel universe. I've became one with the other soul. Everyone told me that i've lost my minds. Everyone ... ... and they repeated me that on and on and on. I've totally lost my identity. But ... i was happy. Fortunately ... the time ... made me realise that 2 souls can become one. And i've liked it. ... in fact adored it. I've lost myself ... but i was not worried. I've metamorphosed my soul with the other soul ... into one unique soul. It was amazing. Unfortunately ... all was temporary. I knew it ... but i've disliked it. Today ... i don't regret anything. Not regret anything ... anymore. But ... i know that this is the magic formula ... for being happy while being into a relationship. 1+1=1. Many ... laugh of me. Of my thoughts. ... of all my perceptions about love and relationships. But ... i know what i am taking about. I was there. ... few times. And ... it was amazing. I felt ... alive. I felt ... the Infinite. I would do it ... again. But ... i can't. Maybe ... i am afraid of losing my identity again. So ... I've decided to just write about the subject. Like ... a self therapy. But also ... guiding the others ... into those parallel universes which don't have anything to do with the real life.

“The most authoritative tome out there on Heart, the biggest female-led hard rock band of all time” from the award-winning music biographer (Vintage Rock). With more Top 10 hits than any other female-fronted music group in history, beginning with such ’70s classics as “Crazy on You,” “Barracuda,” “Magic Man,” and “Straight On,” Rolling Stone hailed Heart’s “sister team of Nancy and Ann Wilson . . . [for] shrewdly pulling off a Led Zep role reversal,” while still succeeding in mainstream Top 40 Radio. The band rode a second wave of even greater commercial success throughout the 1980s, producing such smash hits as “These Dreams,” “Who You Gonna Run To?”, “Alone,” “Never,” “Stranded,” “There’s the Girl,” “What About Love?”, and “All I Wanna Do (Is Make Love to You),” going on to sell a cumulative 30+ million albums worldwide! Now, for the first time, inside the pages of Heart: In the Studio, fans get V.I.P. access behind the scenes of the writing and recording of all of Heart’s hit albums and smash singles! This title features exclusive interviews with band leaders Ann and Nancy Wilson, longtime guitarist Howard Leese, as well as with producers Mike Flicker, Ron Nevison, Keith Olsen, and Ritchie Zito. This study of Heart’s hit-making process in the studio is the first of its kind, and sure to be a must-have for any Heart fan! “Valuable insight into Heart’s recordings . . . unusually informative.” —The Columbus Dispatch “Crammed with tons of previously unseen images . . . lends a greater understanding of the inner workings of a successful rock & roll outfit.” —FMQB

THE TUBE AMP BOOK WITH AUDIO ONLINE ERRATA SHEET ADDED.

(Book). Electric guitar players can choose from a library full of guitar books, but comparatively little has been written about the other 50% of the electric guitar: the amplifier. This book takes a giant step toward redressing the balance, providing the first overall view of amp-dom, including: how amps work, profiles of the major manufacturers, 'transistor dinosaurs' and their place in amp history, reissues vs. vintage amps, and troubleshooting. Terms are defined in the margin as they are introduced, and plenty of photos and diagrams illuminate the text.
