Spanish Manlove posted:Alright, I wanna see the dumbest drum kits. From 100 piece mike mangini atrocities to sets witht he rarest of tone woods to play soft jazz on. For my money, North drums were pretty ridiculous looking. There was a studio in South Philadelphia that had a set of them - and we sat and listened to a track another band had laid down, and that kick drum was pretty good sounding. We ended up using that kit for the recording, actually, instead of my drummers Tama Imperialstar (which had a 24" kick and a massive 18" floor tom) and it sounded pretty good, I thought, even though those drums all looked like tubas.

Mac DeMarco's guitar is...something. Can't really tell what he's done with it (aside from installing metal plates??), but he makes nice pop, so I can't complain too much.

Declan MacManus posted:this is not a safe space don't admit that poo poo If you approach it from the opinion that all 80's metal buttrock is about stupid poo poo then there ceases to be much difference between cheesy hair metal about jesus and cheesy hair metal about motorcycles and gay sex (just to establish in the pantheon of 80's metal subject matter that Judas Priest is the exact opposite of Stryper). Stryper have always been really really proficient musicians and I think it took a really long time for a lot of metal people to admit that. Also their not christian album (Against the Law) is really rad if you like that corny Priest/Scorpions/Tygers kinda stuff. I didn't even really like Stryper until I saw them live at a thing once (they were the opener for a non-christian classic metal show I went to). One thing I will say, due to the lack of normal rock and roll drugs/sex/partying their singer still basically sounds exactly like he did in the 80's, where the only other metal band I like from that era who still has that amount of chops is Motorhead (and maybe Scorpions). Manowar still kick rear end and stuff but when I saw them their singers voice was sooooooo rough it wasn't even funny. Grave Digger was the same way but I think that might have been intentional it's hard to tell. White Dog Eggs posted:Why is it so easy to spot a christian rock band? I'd never even heard of Stryper before but I didn't need to google search them to know that. Because they all either are trying to look like Stryper, Creed or Converge no exceptions.

I think I love Zappa as a man and not really his music so much. He didn't really push sonic boundaries, but he did push the establishment. Music went from being "omg sex" to "omg drugs" to "omg the devil" and then a variable combination of the three. From Elvis, to the Beatles to Motley Crue and W.A.S.P. Zappa holds a special place in my heart. His battles with Tipper Gore and even being pilloried for his articulate arguments for bands who's music he would hope his own children wouldn't embrace, and his defense of free speech were unparalleled at a time when neo-soccer moms wanted to ban "offensive music". And we owe Zappa a nod for at least creating a cohesive dialogue when most rockers were just being offensive for the sake of it. So there's Frank Zappa the man, and then Frank Zappa - the musician. Hate his music or not. I could name a handful of his songs I like and an entire catalog of poo poo he's put out that I consider unlistenable crap.

strangemusic posted:I hope this thread doesn't crucify me, but Les Pauls have never been appealing to me whatsoever. At ALL. I have the 70's version and it's my favorite Gibson ever made and the only Les Paul I own. Also maybe my favorite electric guitar ever made, maybe. That said, I hate how it looks with that Bigsby bolted on it. I have no clue why they did that on what looks like a fairly nice homage.

One of the problems with Zappa is the die hard Zappa-fans. When people ask them why they like Zappa so much, they're like "just listen to this" *puts on some bootlegged version of guitar solos from five different songs put on top of each other, mixed in with random drum outtakes* Zappa made a shitload of music, and a huge portion of it is too weird for most people. He did make some very nice, catchy 4/4 stuff as well, but a lot of the Zappa fans seem to focus on the more inaccessible stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L5AJwnp6f0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGQxI0G6mKk

The worst thing about Zappa is are Zappa fans. If you even start to say that Zappa might not be the second coming, Zappa fans will write a dissertation on how you're objectively wrong. Then the conversation always ends with "if you didn't go to Berklee and spend $100,000 to study joke jazz, then you can't get Zappa".

You should do whatever you like to do, because that's the appeal of playing guitar. The trouble arises when you start looking down on people for not doing it the same way you do.
