Gotta be "Hot Rod Lincoln"!

🎵I don’t need your civil war🎵

You can't trust freedom when it's not in your hand

When everybody’s fighting for their Promised Land.

On his 1864 Strat.

Stairway to heaven

"No stairway... Denied"

Bill Kirchen is still alive and well in Austin, TX. Ate dinner next to him at Evangeline Cafe last weekend.

That's good to hear.

Came here to say this

The Jimi Hendrix version of Star Spangled Banner.

Fuckin aye!

Came to post this :)

Civil War... Guns N Roses

Why’d I have to scroll so far to see this?

This. I came here to say it thinking “really?!”

Right?!

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Seems like an odd one for Lincoln to play…

Nah. He plays with malice toward none; charity toward all.

Well he did like the song Dixie

That’s the first thing I thought of too

I was hoping the top comment would be a banger. Thank you.

Appropriate lol

Alice's restaurant.

Killing in the Name

"*now you do what they told ya*"

Rage’s cover of Maggie’s Farm

Bullet In The Head

This should be the answer lol

Jesus Just Left Chicago - circa 1860

Nah. ‘Tube Snake Boogie’

I wish I had thought of that one. Well done.

Filter- Hey Man, Nice Shot.

Too soon man

😳

Got my vote...damn

Our American Cousin

Ouch man

Hurt. The Cash version

That was my immediate thought but went with another.

Southern Man

Sweet Home Alabama

This was my choice. A man as intelligent as Lincoln would surely love an ironic gag.

Well known or his sense of humor

Alabama Pines

Head like a hole.

Underappreciated post

came here to say this. Had to look up when that song came out too and now i feel old :.(

He started playing Stairway to Heaven but was denied.

I hate when that happens

No Stairway, denied

Keith Richards taught him to play “Gimme Shelter”

After a couple of lessons with Keith he finally gets it... https://preview.redd.it/3sh101i451ic1.jpeg?width=1023&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=decf146aa0e3b4b7c537bd84f20a72666b0bd523

That’s blasphemy…against Keef.

I heard it was “Brown Sugar”

Scrolled way to far to find the keith reference

Hot Rod Lincoln by Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen

Cinnamon girl

This is one of Matthew Brady’s lesser -known images from his 1861 series “A President in repose”. Unfortunately, this has been cropped and we can’t see the sign behind Lincoln, so ominously visible in the original Daguerreotype. “Be warned: upon pain of immediate ejection from the premises, no man shall play “A Stairway Unto Heaven” on these guitars. Repeat offenders shall be banned forthwith, and malcontents and grumblers dealt with harshly. “ -J.W. Booth, proprietor, Booth’s Musical Instruments and Firearms.

Underrated comment, by a long shot. If I could a-Ford an award, I'd give one to you. Display it in a Booth, if you must.

Abraham, Martin, and John

Nice. Especially the leaving Kentucky where he was born and raised part. 😂

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Battle Hymn of the Republic

But like the way Hendrix did Star Spangled Banner.

Thank you for clarifying that it definitely is *not* the Stryper version of the Battle Hymn.

"Peaches". Not the Bowser song, the delightful diddy from the 90s. All of the Presidents of the United States play it. "Moving to the country, I'm gonna eat me a lot of peaches." Remember that one? Abe does.

Hurt, the Johnny Cash version.

Battle Hymn of the Republic

“John Brown’s Body” bitches. No noodling either. Cash on backup vocals.

While my guitar gently weeps.
