THE SHRED THREAD

MI is a bit late lol. I checked it out. I'm sure the guitars sound great. But they aren't my style. I'd love one of those amps though! Actually I was surprised at his guitars. On the old Youthanasia VHS someone gives him a guitar for recording and he jokes that he's actually using a guitar that's not a cool shape. Looks like one of the ones on the website lol But the others don't look that cool either.

I guess when people are willing to give you new toys to play with saying they are uncool is probably not bad advertising. He used them, he got the right sound and they are albums many people like so if an uncool shape is the worst he's got to say it's not that bad.

 

[redfly]

Nope. He used it so there you go lol.

 

[Slammed]

I don't think the shape is that uncool anyway...but then I'm not sure what cool is.

 

[redfly]

He meant more metal looking.

 

[Slammed]

Cool is subjective, looks aren't everything yadda, yadda, yadda. I think these are cool guitars but I don't see Marty playing these.

Now who's really cool?

 

[redfly]

He meant cool to him lol.
I'd rock those!

 

[Slammed]

Yeah but I'm picking on his 'cool' and I'd like to remind him it's not all about image it's how he plays the lump of wood.
Damn rockstars and their images!

Oh there is a link on Blabber or Bravewords for the new Becker album and it says something about signing up to his newsletter or such to get a free song. I'm on enough mailing lists but you might want to check it out.

I nice, I will. Thanks!

Exactly. If he wants to make comments about what is cool he needs to qualify his statements to prove he is indeed worthy.
If he was selling the guitar because it sounded shit well that's a fair excuse, but he had to go and say it was not cool enough, or uncool, or something I don't remember what he said now it seems like ages ago I read the article!

No worries, it's some riffing or a track from when he was 16 if I remember correctly.

He does say it sounds amazing but still that's worth almost nothing! Pfff Friedman.

His 16 is better than most peoples everything lol

Nope, means nothing, he's too image conscious!
Until he plays the gumball machine guitar he wont redeem himself.

Yeah maybe he should have taught that damn Friedman bloke a thing or two when he had the chance!

Even funnier than that I just read that Skid Row are playing a gig at a pizza shop tonight in Sydney. It's a free gig and I suppose it's good to see them heading out to see the fans, but a fucking pizza shop for Christ sake these wankers used to play arenas now they play small clubs and do freebies at pizza shops.

 

[redfly]

How the fuck can they afford to go to Australia to play a free pizza shop show?!! Are they doing a festival there?
Oh and that's pretty pathetic. I've sometimes wondered why Hill and Rob don't just join Bach. I think it's mainly Snake and Bolan that get the royalties. Hill can't be making that much.
