This week, the Dads tackle an important question concerning today's guitar music: Are there still innovative guitarists out there or is everyone just putting their own spin on what's already been done? Also, Guitar Center tries to be innovative (sigh) and is Fender more well known than Gibson?

This week, the Dads are BACK from vacation and dive deep into what feels like the closing of a massive chapter in rock history.  They start with the heartbreaking news of Ozzy Osbourne's death on July 22, 2025, at age 76, coming just 17 days after his final "Back to the Beginning" farewell concert at Villa Park in Birmingham. The Dads discuss the show's best and worst performances and Ozzy's amazing legacy. They also get into two possible farewell tours: Aerosmith and Fleetwood Mac. 

Also - is there a crisis facing guitar culture online? Are algorithm changes and platform priorities pushing guitar creators to the margins? Or is this all in our heads?

This week the Dads dive into the listener mailbag to discuss the custom guitar options that somehow still don't exist in 2025, then we tackle the elephant in the room - Jon Bon Jovi's recent live performances and whether age has finally caught up to one of rock's biggest voices.  Plus, a couple of interesting Gibson news items, including Marcus King's brand-new signature ES-345 and discuss whether it deserves your attention or if it's just another pretty face in the crowded signature guitar market.

The Dads are BACK after week off due to Dad duties with another episode! This one features an interview with Dallas and Driz from the band, Bourbon Sons. You may remember Dallas Dwight when he joined the guitar dads over two years ago to talk about his band, LA Maybe. Well Dallas and his long-time band mate and writing partner, Driz Silvera, are back with a new project, the Bourbon Sons, and they are taking the country/rock world by storm. 

This is a great conversation that covers song writing, the independent band life, and of course, we get into some nerdy gear talk.
