THE SHRED THREAD

[Slammed]

I do give Glenn some credit. He's managed to ride the Deep Purple bandwagon pretty well for a guy who only played on three or four albums (despite being credited on heaps more than that because of compilations and live albums). Not only that he played bass

He was on a music quiz show here about 8 years ago and when the host suggested he was the driving force behind Deep Purple and wrote most of the bands biggest hits Glenn just nodded and thanked him.

I don't really know much about DP

The likes of DP and Led Zepp etc were my forerunners into metal, never really liked Smoke On The Water but albums like In Rock were brilliant. If you listen carefully to the Total Abandon 1999 CD you can hear me screaming (no you can't) but I was at the gig and was back stage. The copy of the CD I have is signed and came straight off the desk from that night, no editing, no mastering, a true live performance.

Ian Gillan is probably one of the nicest blokes I've ever met. The lead signer of a band I used to work with has been mates with him for about 40 years and can nearly sing with the guy note for note. it's amazing being in a room with them both.

He might not be everyone's favourite shredder but I still like the guy and his music and I'll definitely be buying the new album. The video for the new song is pretty funny too.

I wanted to like it, But I guess rock just doesn't do it for me. I really like the first two albums though. and you know Zakk when you hear him!

 

[Slammed]

Not sure if this is shredding or not but this guy is a brilliant guitar player. I've got some of his earlier albums and the influence he's had on some of today's shredders is undeniable. I might have to look into this for the more mellow moments in life

Oh Gary Moore! The chick I'm seeing loves this guy

 

[Slammed]

Even though it was a bit of a step away from his more hard rock roots Still Got The Blues is still a classic album. He's played with some really good bands and musos in his time too.

 

[redfly]

Yeah he's got great feel.

 

[redfly]

He should try writing his own stuff rather than play covers

 

[redfly]

Hahahaha! I wish he'd do another album with no vocals.

 

[Slammed]

Haha

What about an album with no instruments and just vocals?

 

[redfly]

Mike Patton did that lol
...actually it may have some noises that aren't him lol But i think it's mostly voice.
Warning, kinda sucks lol
