strangemusic posted:Don't give anyone ideas, soon someone will probably "relic" some beautiful instrument with a blowtorch. He had someone use small amounts of lighter fluid (no blowtorches, as far as I know) on a new guitar to make a "tribute" to the Strat that Hendrix burned at Monterey. They even took the melted pickup bobbins and rewound them to make new pickups out of them. Here's Jimi (sorry for the watermark, it was a quick GIS):  ...and here it is burning at the end of the show:  ...and here's what Ibanez came up with for the video:  Yup, it's been done. I never liked the swirl paint jobs, but I'd have this one (I know, coming from me that's not saying much.) Just thought you might like to see. I think both guitars suit the thread pretty well.

You know what, I'll accept that, the guitar has enough pointy-ness and weirdness to be able to have DiMarzio's (I'm assuming Super Distortions though, anything too much hotter would be stupid) I think that the cult of imitating Hendrix is stupid, I mean, he's cool when you start out and your only goal is 'be as cool as Hendrix' but when you realize that it's a fool's errand you develop your own style and move on. Pretty much anybody who goes, "I'm gonna be Hendrix" after they've played for a few years is too dumb to realize that to be Hendrix you've gotta create your own style and mix so many genres that it's hard to tell where one influence begins and end. Otherwise you're just a guy who sits around chasing vapor trails by playing boring licks for the hundred thousandth time. With that rant over, I still hate swirly paint jobs, Vai, and JEMs (barring the floral one) but that thing kinda makes it's own cool vibe. Less 'aggressive Star Trek' that most Ibanez's have and more of a 'Sci-fi undead Rasputin' where it looks like something that refuses to die unless it's on it's own terms.

iostream.h posted:That album and all the weird pseudo-mysticism around it was absolutely amazing to 15 year old me. honestly being into steve vai/satriani/dragonforce etc. is totally okay when you're 14/15 because thats when a lot of people get into playing instruments or at least taking it seriously, and those guys seem like the logical endpoint of playing guitar. the problem is when people don't start to appreciate something other than technical wanking as they get older and just want to emulate that kind of garbage. i really feel like most people, if they went through any sort of real classes and didn't learn an instrument because your friends wanted to start a band and no one played drums or whatever, went through an embarrassing phase of obsessing over "virtuoso" musicians

iostream.h posted:That album and all the weird pseudo-mysticism around it was absolutely amazing to 15 year old me. He was just getting his solo voice back then, after playing with Zappa and David Lee Roth and Whitesnake (Whitesnake dudes introducing songs, lol). Alien Love Secrets is where I felt he really found his inspiration and ran with it. It's hit-or-miss because it's Vai after all, but there's a lot more innovation because I think he saw his genre dying and decided to branch out and try to stretch. When I want to hear a virtuoso on guitar now, I look to Tommy Emmanuel or Robin Ford, or YouTube videos of crazy people I don't know anything about like that guy Guthrie Govan who is just amazing.

 I was a 90s emo kid, and it was just weird how the whole thing turned into this goth look. Its just like how after Skrillex became big in the dubstep scene it just defined the genre for the general public.

Bonzo posted:Did he "join" Whitesnake to just promote his solo record? And I recall he played in PiL, Zappa's band, and was in David Lee Roth's band for two really incredibly great albums before Whitesnake. His early solo stuff I thought was a little weak overall, but I also feel like he's been improving ever since Fire Garden. I don't know how long he toured with Whitesnake, though. When I'm in the mood for Whitesnake I really only reach for the John Sykes self-titled one that came out before. It's incredibly fun driving music (and it takes me back to High School). Sorry for the derail.

iostream.h posted:No, Vandenberg was unable to record due to an injury of some sort. Vai was also working as a sideman at that point (jumped from Zappa to DLR to Whitesnake) so he was pretty much on as a hired gun, not to promote his solo stuff (dude's got bills to pay) Gonna out myself with some basic Vai knowledge (I read a lot of guitar magazines when I was a teenager leave me alone): his first album was Flex-Able which is maybe the most interesting stuff he ever did (post-Zappa, pre-Roth) and then he played on the worst Public Image Limited album and followed it up with becoming Steve Vai Guitar Sensualist

Dirt posted:I've listened to metal long enough to know anything with a "core" at the end is probably terrible. pretty much anything with a "core" suffix is just jocking whatever was going on in metal 20 years ago like every modern hardcore band is totally over the moon with entombed, bolt thrower, obiturary, crowbar, type o negative, or morbid angel it's alright if you were into those bands to begin with though, because hey here's a bunch of slightly lamer versions of those same bands with better production

Dr. Faustus posted:I never read that. I know Vandenberg is credited with writing the songs, but I was always suspicious about his injury. I figured Coverdale just wanted Vai for some reason. He did give Vai carte blanche to arrange the tunes any way he wanted, and he obviously put a ton of effort into it. He basically filled every song with little licks and they're all different. Do yourself a favor and look up video of Sykes performing lead vocals on Still Of the Night. I still listen to the 1987 CD at least once a month

Pauses define the rhythm and feel of your music. Guys like this just play fastfastfast and their music doesn't have a sound, it's just a bunch of notes that don't sound horrible next to each other flying at you.

shiksa posted:True. his structured stuff is comcast hold music though, so thats cool i guess. It reminds me of Shawn Lane, the dude could shred it right the gently caress up (and no one will ever play as fast and clean as he did) but his own music... ehhhhh... I can't stomach it, it's really corny softcore porn/PBS type stuff. Time is the Enemy is pretty good though.
