OT: The all encompassing HFSabres music thread with no rules (as long as it’s music posted)

[Ralonzo]

Ronson (& Bowie, et al.) with some kind of gadget giving him a slide-like effect near the pickups when he's bending notes on the neck at the headstock end.

I go back to the era where Ronson and Jones were pumpin' it like Lennon-McCartney, just spewing songs that would influence for decades.

Another pair from that era, (perhaps also tying in the Peter Gabriel themes posted above) Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter.

On guitars with Lou Reed...




Both also played with Alice Cooper...



While the last one is perhaps over-produced, it is nonetheless emotional. I'll freely admit my bias, but I find pop music of the past several decades simplistic, bland, formulaic, and banal compared to the complexity, intensity, and layering of the "so-called" classic rock of decades ago. Digital compression doesn't help today's music, either.

What about Bowies in Space?

Saw the Pixies and Franz Ferdinand Saturday night. Awesome show. I’m amazed how much juice the aging Pixies but they were on fire.

I guess one of the benefits of admiring American culture “from a distance” (thanks Julie Gold) is that you have no stakes in it, or stand separated from your cultural battles. One of the things I can not fathom is the reluctance to embrace Bluegrass. Am I wrong here, am I totally off?

Isn't this an absolutely gorgeous expression of American music:


And what about this more modern version of the same impulse:

That's an interesting topic. When people with big ears hear bluegrass they recognize the virtuosity of the players, their interaction with each other, and can hear the thread of influence that immigrants from Ireland/Scotland/England brought to the music.

We're on this side of the timeline so it's hard to see but those mandolin and banjo players were the rock stars of the day. The Stanley Brothers and their contemporaries were him. Living that excessive lifestyle and wheeling honeys.

Pedagogy exists for the techniques the individual instrumentalists utilize. For guitar players like Tony and Billy there, they have mastered cross-picking and that whole tradition. Trying to do the things they do at the bpm they play at is peak human performance. To add a name to these gentlemen, and if you dig flatpicking, Bryan Sutton is someone you should check out if you haven't already.

Fresh covers for today

 

[kirby11]

Scored tickets to see Tennis on the fall leg of their tour when they come to Babeville. Was cool of them to extend it to cities they hadn't visited before. Definitely gonna have to listen to Pollen all the way through before then

@TheStorm - Have you listened to the new King Gizz album yet? I fired it up on the drive into work this morning. It seems like a good return to their stoner metal phase.

The Call on Me video was also one of the inspirations for this video, along with the movie Perfect starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Travolta.

I have. Ordered the Vinyl so hopefully that will come in the mail soon. So far I like it just as much as Rat's Nest, but we'll see where it places once I get more listens in. Flamethrower is such a great song.

I'm a big fan of Witchcraft. I am not a music savant, so I can't tell you exactly how they are timing their riffs and drums, but I like how the use of the two-syllable word Witchcraft ends the riff and lines things up for the next.

In Alpharetta Georgia for a show. Metric did 9 tunes. Garbage did 15. I think we will stay for the Gallagher post-Oasis but my expectations are that I don’t care one way or another. Emily and Shirley were worth the drive.

Going to see Weezer this Wednesday in Bridgeport.

Anyone mentioned Queens if the Stone Age yet?
