C Dubya 04 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 I don't know about that DiMeola. I bought an album of his, and it's waaaaay too contemporary caribbean kinda stuff. Like all the things I don't like about Jaco Pastorius, only on a guitar. DiMeola does some sick Acoustic playing though. I think that it's one thing to shread on an electric when you have all that action, but to play as fast as he does on acoustic blows my mind. He did a live album with McLaughlin (see, I learn) and Paco DeLuca (sp?) that is worth quite a few listens. As for Holdsworth, I think that he was always wayyyyy ahead of his time. I took guitar lessons when I was young, and my teacher was always all about Alan. Guy did a lot of amazing things.

snuffbox Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 I thought Arcade Fire was pretty good...I didnt have really high hopes because I wasnt sure how their music would translate live, but just relaxin back and looking at the scenery of the Gorge was fun. The performance was damn good too...Id travel to see em again. The Dears and Kanye West were awesome. Pixies met my expectations and I was in the second row. Modest Mouse was fun, but played two downer songs to close, kinda lame.
CanadianGuitarist Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 If you were gonna put Hey Jude on there I would have to hurt you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How many times have we listened to Gwen Stefani at your place? But no to Hey Jude?

Hank Kingsley Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 Songs listened to on vacation: 1. New Order - "Subculture" 2. Wire - "Map Ref. 41°N 93°W" 3. The Clash - "Train In Vain" 4. The Beatles - "Revolution 1" 5. Pixies - "Letter to Memphis"
PLAGIARISM! Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 2. Wire - "Map Ref. 41°N 93°W" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I adore that one at the moment. Course, I adore Wire all the time.
Hank Kingsley Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 It's the first Wire song I've listened to. Now I crave more. It really is outstanding.
PLAGIARISM! Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 They have great pop hooks like that, then they have sheer explosions of noise, and it all works, whether the songs are 30 seconds or five minutes long. The first three albums are all brilliant.
Red Baron Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 If you were gonna put Hey Jude on there I would have to hurt you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How many times have we listened to Gwen Stefani at your place? But no to Hey Jude? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its untolerable to listen too, and with my hatred against Paul McCartney just makes me hate the song even more.

Edwin MacPhisto Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 It's the first Wire song I've listened to. Now I crave more. It really is outstanding. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What a pick. Truly great, and up there with "Ex-Liontamer" and "Outdoor Miner" as far as immediately catchy goes.
PLAGIARISM! Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Along with 'Ex Lion Tamer' it's one of the ones I usually have to listen to about 3 times.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 You have to have Journey in there... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't call them a hair band, but yeah, they should be there anyway.
Red Baron Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 You have to have Journey in there... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Speaking of Journey, I'm going to see them on the 24th at Casino Rama. Tickets were 25 bucks.
PLAGIARISM! Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 I'd pay that, but the airfare is probably steeper. Neil Schon looks hilarious these days tho.
