It's as simple as that.

Who cares if he's in the blues subforum?? Is it really that big of a deal that it's here and not somewhere else? It's not like it's taking up space that isn't available...

Get over it.

Yeah, seriously.





As for Crate amps, I don't know anything about that amp in particular but the Crate Palomino amps are pretty nice. Billy Gibbons even uses them. Don't hate just because of the brand name.

[Dimebag22]

Meh, I've owned a Crate amp and didn't like it at all... It was ok for when I didn't know anything about guitars and tones, but now I look back on it and laugh. It was pretty much a joke.

That was a solid state, and I've never played an all tube Crate though. If you like it then why not...?

[TNfootballfan62]

My post about ocellot and the John Mayer forum was mostly jokingly. And it is as simple as staying out of that thread, I suppose, but it's hard to resist posting to try to help someone who sees John Mayer as a blues god. I don't want others to suffer from that delusion. :p:

I don't agree.


Most of the JM bullshit is just that. No harm is meant by it. It's mainly in jest.

[mas0n]

Well, I was worried someone would take our rants seriously, so here goes - guys please relax, we're just kidding. As goolz and the rest of the guys already said, it's just good ole fun :)
Like you guys have your JM topic, we have our little anti-JM rants just to keep ourselves amused, and it's always nice to joke in company of people with different attitudes toward something :)
So, if anyone feels offended, sorry. It's really just fun :)

P.S. On the other hand, I do own a circular saw, so if someone needs it for whatever, just PM me.

I have been for AGES.

A dude with the name KickingMule also has a lot of good stuff.

[ze monsta]

On JM fanboys: It has got to a point, Kris, where it is stupid. They needed educating. JM isn't the greatest blues guitarist of all time, nor is he the best song writer. It is all opinionated. They have their opinions, we have ours.

The JM thread is stupid, it has got to a stage where it is just mindless arguing.

They are going on about how he is an incredible blues player etc etc. The saviour of guitar music etc etc. He isn't, get over it.

They are annoying though.

[TNfootballfan62]

Yeah, when I hear someone talk about politics and they don't seem to know anything, I usually question them on their views and make them realize they don't know what they think.

[aetherspear]

what you have to realize is that the candidates are both counting on those idiots. They just want them to jump on their bandwagon instead of their opponents.

[mas0n]

I actually like Canadians, but I'm not American :)
And I met a guy who's working for the Canadian police, has the nice little outfit and everything. OK I admit, the outfit is a tad funny, but the people I met were extremely cool :)

You got the Delta Blues, right.

Haven't got it yet. Processing fees for the mf loss.

Agreed. It's like on ticketmaster, the 'convenience' charge. It's like who did I inconvenience by going online and buying and printing off my own ticket?!

[Carswell98]

Cool. I could never just mine for that long to get an amp.

I mined to help pay for school, the amp was a selfish luxury :p:

if I would have spent everything I made over the summer on gear I could have my es-335, my strat, and a couple boutique amps for good measure :p:

over 4 months of work my net pay was over $10K

This probably one of my favorite Jimi tracks. It's a shame the two never combined their talents on any other track.

[ze monsta]

Bloody hell, that's great.

Thanks for sharing!

I haven't been listening to Jimi recently, but my band wants to play Day Tripper because we're all Beatles fans. But I like Jimi's day tripper more than The Beatles...

[JilaX^]

I know, blew my mind first time I heard it.

You're welcome :)

Doing Jimis version should be enough of a compromise. :D

[ze monsta]

Yeah, I wanted to do a blues song. But they aren't exactly big blues fans/obsessives like I am so Day Tripper was a good idea, and making it heavier like Jimi's is even better.

[JilaX^]

Ah.

Well, both the bands I play in are very blues/blues-rock based, so lucky me I guess. :p:

Well, I really love doing songs heavier like Jimi did with this one.
Ironically we do Purple Haze in a heavier/faster manner.

[ze monsta]

We seem to end up playing ballad-ish/poppy kinda music no matter how hard we try.

The bassist is my best friend but a he sucks, and the other guitarist is another of my best friends and is pretty damn awesome the problem is We can't find a drummer that's really committed; so it's all a bit annoying right now.

I bring a much heavier dirtier and improvised element to it, because despite all they say they have to have very specific kinda parts where I'm more happy to jam and just feel my way through the song. Blues influence I guess?

Aah.

Well, the bassists have been the problem for us. We might have found one now (For the bluesband atleast), that'll hopefully stick around for ages.

Yeah, I'm like that too.

Well, considering we have a drummer who loves John Bonham and metal for both bands, pop ballads aren't really an option ;)

In other news: Round Midnight is a very difficult song.

Not that one in particular, but anyways, I freaking love it!

This is my 4th acoustic I think?? I finally found one I'm happy with.

I'm going to start selling all the other crap I don't need/use anymore: random old fender bass, other acoustic guitars, big muff pi etc.

I'll be left with a fender blues jr, PRS singlecut, crybaby wah, zoom G2 pedal, and the aforementioned fender kingman.

i need to practice more

That's not that difficult a song, once you get the melody and the chords down.

You couldn't bring an acoustic with you whilst you were at the mines?

Also, Steve- Hound Dog Taylor, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee, Slim Harpo, and some Sonny Rollins.

maybe Sonny Landreth a shot, great electric slide player, though he isn't strictly blues, he plays sort of a Blues/Country/Hard Rock mix

Actually, those hours are quite good. Night shift gets paid more than day shift, and it allows me to go to school.


I load trucks for Fed Ex, son.

[ze monsta]

Ahh I see.

I guess that is good, and you don't haev to go to "school" all day do you?
In the UK School is usually what americans/canucks call High School or w/e.

You are at University aren't you?

[imgooley]

Actually, I an now going to a Community College in Sacramento. University was far too expensive where I was going.

[ze monsta]

Okay, is there a difference in you part of the world?

College in the UK is usually for more practical kinda things like being an Electrician, I think.

[imgooley]

CC is a two year public institution where people can earn skill certificates, Associates degrees, and do their GE portion of their education and then transfer to University.

[ze monsta]

You've lost me in higher education talk.

Anyway, Corey Harris ftw.

[ze monsta]

I want a new glass slide, my other one broke months ago.

What's ceramic like, I've never tried one...

[Dchild042]

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation?q=ceramic+slide&st=
i have played ceramic once but i prefer glass alot more

[ze monsta]

I'll try them both. The people at my local music shop like me because I've been going there since I was 10 or sommit. I'll hopefully get some more free stuff tomorrow, they usually throw in another slide or something whenever I go there and buy sommit instead of playing their acoustics for like 2 hours... :haha

I can't stop playing "I Can't Be Satisfied" by Muddy Waters, such a great lick, and vocals.

[Dchild042]

and notice i said once because the second day i had it, it broke on me

[ze monsta]

That sucks, are they really really weak, or were you clumsy with it?
Because my last glass slide broke when I dropped it when getting on the bus and getting my oyster card out... so I guess I'm pretty clumsy...

[imgooley]

I broke my first glass slide at a gig.

Luckily, I had my steel on me :o

[Dchild042]

no all i did was set on my amp, and i was playing loud as **** and the vibrations tipped it off and it broke on the ground, lol.
anyways, im really poor and i want a tube amp. any recommendations for a good but cheap tube amp?

[imgooley]

Crate V series.

I just got the Head. Now I need the cab.

Also look into:

Epiphone Valve Standard/Senior
Used Blues Junior
Used Classic 30 (Personally not a fan. I like the V series better)

If you stretch:

AC15
Blues Deluxe
Ampeg J20 Jet
Tiny Terror

[slidething31]

I love my Blues Jr. Although I probably only play electric maybe 30% of the time.

I've been listening to a Herbie Man album. Duane Allman trading jazz licks with a flautist.

[Dchild042]

thank you for that, i think im gonna for the crate v or blues jr. and im gettin a tube screamer for my bday next month. what are you using in your profile recordings?

[slidething31]

^ I think you're asking goolz? or me?

[Dchild042]

him, you already said you had a blues jr. but this is for you, are you playin that harmonica in your recordings?

[slidething31]

:) Ok I thought so since I don't have any electric stuff recorded.

And yeah, that was my weak attempt at some harp.

[Dchild042]

[ze monsta]

I have £150 right now...life sucks :cry:

and there was a Blues Deluxe with 2 minutes 30 left on it going for £275!!! I was so pissed off.

[JilaX^]

Dear god :( I have like 200£ in my account now But I owe my mom some money T_T

I'd actually lend it to you, but y'know. I don't really know you, and lending money to guys on the internet seems like a no no :haha

And, at least now you can play the blues, right?

[ze monsta]

:haha
I'm a reliable sorta guy. :p:

Indeed, I now have the blues. I'm going to the guitar shop after my late lunch and then to meet up with my band to go out. It should be alright in the end. :)

[JilaX^]

Haha, sounds like it'll be a good day after all :p:

Figured I'd reccomend this guy for y'all:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJyRhUUkwOk

Watermelon Slim.
He also plays some bad ass slide guitar.

I saw him live back in March, and he was fantastic. He actually came and caught me and the blues band I play in open up for this youth concert with the Twisters (Who you should also check out :p: )

He was dancing around in the back when we were playing Sunshine of Your Love and such, it was fantastic :haha After that he went up and played some tracks with just him and a Slide guitar.

Also talked to me afterwards and gave me some advice and complimented me on my playing. Fantastic guy, brilliant musician, deserves every view he can get.

[Dimebag22]

[slidething31]

At least gas prices have gone down a bit. Although I think they're predicting another rise soon.

[imgooley]

Now for the news:

Though gas prices have gone down 30 cents in the past 4 months, they are still a dollar over what they were a year ago, and 3 times the price they were in 2001.

In other news:

Exxon Mobile, ConocoPhillips, and BP have again made ANOTHER record breaking quarterly PROFIT margin, the largest gain ever experienced by an American company since Standard Oil.

:facepalm:

Where is the Sherman Anti-Trust act when you need it?

[slidething31]

Really.

It's a shame that oil companies get so much help from our government, when they aren't beholden at all to the American people. Only shareholders.

[Dchild042]

it just hit 4 49 in my area because the god damn hurricanes

[JilaX^]

Well, we need to pollute less. And the only way Americans are cutting down on their CO2 levels is putting up the price of petrol. It's sad, but Gas guzzlers are just not mean to be :sad:

[imgooley]

^hmm...


No comment.


In other news: I picked out a speaker cab.

[JilaX^]

Oooh, nice. What did you go for?

[imgooley]

The Crate Palomino 212.

Chose it over the V212 because it has better speakers and is sexier.

[slidething31]

^ Two very good reasons.

[JilaX^]

Indeed they are.

The sexy factor shouldn't be underestimated.

[slidething31]

Good god Ohio State is getting killed...

[imgooley]

Which is why the Trojans are #1

[imgooley]

So, Kyle, How'd your Vols do today?

[TNfootballfan62]

Fantastically. They were playing UAB, but still. The QB wasn't incredibly impressive, but the defense performed well, and the running game was tremendous. It was a final score of 35-3, but could've been higher, had backups not started playing early in the 4th quarter.

[ze monsta]

I have over $6000 in another bank account, the problem is I can't access it until I'm 18 or some shit like that. :cry:

Can anyone suggest some jazz with a horn section like Keb' Mo's cover of Last Fair Deal Gone Down???

[imgooley]

^Unfortunately, I don't have my Keb Mo right now, so I am of no use :(

[ze monsta]

Damn you. You are useless whenever I need something. :p:

[imgooley]

I had to get my HD in my computer replaced.

[ze monsta]

So you lost all your illegally downloaded music? :p:
Do you buy cd's?

http://www.last.fm/music/Keb%27+Mo%27/_/Last+Fair+Deal+Gone+Down?autostart

There it is:

I think it might actually be the woodwind section...but I'm lame so I can't tell.
Is it a clarinet playing the lead kinda part?

[imgooley]

I buy CD's when I have the money to buy CD's.

[imgooley]

Suggestions: Sidney Bechet. Also Ry Cooder's Jazz album.

[ze monsta]

Thanks a lot, I like Sidney Bechet a lot.
I've really been into Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton and Humphrey Lyttelton in particular recently, despite not being a real jazz fan.

[slidething31]

Kyle, what's your take on all this Vince Young drama?

[TNfootballfan62]

It's all a bit overblown, I think. He doesn't like being boo'd, but who does? He's just a guy who wears his emotions on his sleeve. There may be some substance to his mental instability, but I really think it's mostly overblown.

[imgooley]

What are we talkin bout?

[slidething31]

That's kind of what I was thinking. Just the media making a huge deal out of nothing. When does that ever happen? :p:

[ze monsta]

I am so confused. As Goolz said, what are we talking about?

[TNfootballfan62]

Vince Young, the QB for the Tennessee Titans. If you keep up with the NFL, he's all over the news. :)

[slidething31]

Vince Young, the quarterback for the Tennessee Titans, was booed last week/ injured. Then after the game, his mom called the team and said he was in a bad state of mind or something.

Long story short, the police found him watching football at his friends house.

In any case, I fecking hate Vince Young. Do you have a link to an article or sommat?

Yeah, the picture above your post is George W.


Welfare is an abomination that needs to be abolished immediately. About the education system- The US has probably the best post-secondary education in the world, and a literacy rate over 94%.

I love facts;)

The US education system is just terrible. There is a reason people over there actually believe creationism is plausible :rolleyes:

Welfare system is non existing. Us socialists say: Shame on you! :mad:

Justice system? What justice, your justice system has killed innocents well into the hundreds...

I think Europe wins on those terms.

However, I only have one thing to say for the US. Texas/Chicago/Delta-Blues.

You win :down:

Sorry, but you are wrong on all three accounts. Period.

The welfare system is actually governed mostly on a state by state basis. I live in California, which is by far the most socialistic state in the union. We have what amounts to free health care over here, by the way. I know because I was on it.

My brother in law works for the Welfare office, so I don't know how you can say it's non-existant.

What makes you're justice system any better? Do your inmates get free cable, 8 hours of rec time, etc, etc?

As far as Capital Punishment, there have been 3 executions in the past 20 years, despite there being more than 1000 death row inmates in the system. Appeals of appeals can keep inmates alive indefinitely.

I specifically reference Post Secondary education. And those who believe in creationism are not taught so in church, as it's not part of any education system's curriculum, at least in California.

By the way, the Los Angeles Metropolitan area has more people than your whole country, fwiw. Smaller populations are easier to regulate.


Facts.

[slidething31]

^ Preach brother, preach.

But seriously, youre throwing accusations out with nothing backing them up. And really, Europe is not a single entity that you can measure against the U.S. Are the laws the same in Norway as they are in France?

And as for the justice systems, I believe a court in England recently granted a divorce to couple because the woman wasnt a virgin. America does not hold the monopoly on religious idiocy.

(Not that all religious people are idiots.)

[imgooley]

I would also like to point out that this 'argument' started out as a lighthearted poke at football, and then escalated into a political argument, which was not its intention.

I thought everyone was getting the joke, like with the John Mayer incident, but we obviously have to be a bit more careful about these subtle jokes, people get wound up quite easily about these touchy subjects.

Anyway, nice weather around here, 10 degrees C and rain all day long. It's like I live in friggin' London...but on the plus side, it's perfect weather for the blues :)
