For those of you who read up on what's going on in my little world of underground rock and roll, you may be interested in previewing some scans from the prints of our photo shoot. I wish the scanner did justice to these photos, because the real deal looks so phenominal. You get the idea anyway.

Amazing ! I love the Les Paul Sunburst documentary,Howie Hubberman was the vintage expert I trusted most in the 80"s. I bought over 30 guitars from Howie and Albert..from Les Pauls ,to Charvel/Jacksons..Howie never steered me wrong..Glad to see he's still the King.. CC#1

I read the comments about Howie Hubberman in BC Music.. They actually comparred his guitar playing ability to some of the greats,, ie Slash, Brian Setzer,Link Ray,,Yngvie Malmsteen,Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards.I never knew Howie Played.. Well now I'm dumbfounded,Howie was at a guitar shop in the valley,and he was playing an old vintage telecaster through an old Marshall combo.He actually is a great player.Very unique.Loud, quick ,and effortlessly he played some original licks that blew me away.. live 'n learn !

Hey Kid Ramos ! Howie Hubberman is an arrogant guitar player,He knows how good he is.Howie never plays out,He never jams,that makes his talent a waste ! I worked with him at a studio in Las Vegas,He did't like the tracks so he came back the next day he laid all new tracks inc. Drums..The young band was mortified...Undertaker

Howie Hubberman, is nothing more then a common thief!!! He abused his landlord privileges, the pervert that he is, and stole all my belongings, later to be sold o. e-bay, or at the pawn shop that he WORKS at, not owns, as he lies to everyone....The very thought of him, and his greedy soul makes me sick to death... Remember, you've been warned...Ultimate Bad News!!! S x

Howie Hubberman would astound us with the amount of vintage guitars he would pack in to the Sunset Store, Sometimes to get in the store half his inventory would be on the street, Howie was an amazing Player and Vintage collector. P A

Remember Seeing Howie Hubberman in New York,probably around 1976. It was in a Rock Club called "The Orange Monkey" Howie was on stage with a bunch off local musicians. He really shined on guitar but what was incredible was his version of Kinks song You Really Got Me,, Later Van Halen playrd and recorded almost the exact version Howie did. Pretty co incidental.

Dutch, That was no coincident . They Ripped Howie off. Howie Hubberman created "Pointing And Shouting" the band that Howie Hubberman sang with. His version of that Kinks song was directly ripped by Van Halen, I was Howie's Drummer !!

I agree, Howie Hubberman also wrote a dozen songs for bands he managed in the 80's. Afew of them charted. Howie was a lot more musical than he is credited for.And he is a hell of a guitarist !!
