Elissimpark posted:Yeah, but then you google "soviet era guitars" or "italian electric guitars from the fifties" and you realise its just YOU who hasn't been looking closely at the right guitars. That's true! My brother's an illustrator and I was giving him poo poo lately because he drew a guitar with the 12th fret markers on the first fret for some reason.

Iron Maiden, deftones, pantera, the sword, Pearl Jam to name a few. Surely a Pantera beer is just whatever is cheapest at the gas station where your hot cousin works?

Spanish Manlove posted:Is there a monolithic disparaging term for music that's only ever listened to by dudes who play guitar, or wish they played guitar? I'm thinking of every song you only ever see mentioned in a guitar magazine, or forum post, like Hendrix, Clapton, Vai, Satriani, The Weather Report, and modern stuff like Animals as Leaders and Polyphia. I'd like to know this too. I saw Covet live and the audience full of these guys made it my least favourite concert experience. Not because Covet were bad (although, not amazing, tbh) or because it felt dangerous, just because there was an arrogance that led to thoughtless "ironic" moshing and no regard for other members of the crowd. Music's a diverse thing and it's cool if someone gets joy from banging out power chords they can't name or running the guitar through 90 pedals in weird tunings or playing bleepy bloopy arpeggios on 7 string headless guitars or whatever, but these guys make it feel like a competition. BonHair posted:I'd say guitar heroes. That only accounts for guitar, but if we're being honest, that's 90% of them. Eh, my "guitar hero" is the fairly rote J Mascis, but I liked his music as pop music before I liked it as spectacle. While boomer rock isn't really my thing, I get that there's still songcraft there, and I don't really hear that in the widdly-woo bands.

TheMightyBoops posted:I saw Covet and the crowd was fine. It was a pretty small show though in WI. Yeah, I don't blame Covet - I think math-y stuff can walk a thin line, but Covet and a couple of others often veers into mid-west emo territory enough just to be pretty songs. It just felt that every guy who had bought a Rick and Morty shirt and CBD vape, but never deodorant or conditioner was there. This was in Glasgow.

BonHair posted:Yeah, if you've ever been in a bass group on Facebook, Jaco gets the same kind of wankery worship that Yngwie or whoever it is nowadays gets with guitarists. Musicians Music initially makes me think of how people heard The Velvet Underground or saw The Sex Pistols and then everyone had to start their own band, but I suppose those people often weren't musicians in the strictest sense. I guess music students music resonates more with me.

I wonder where the Guitar World mindset comes from - I can see it and respect it (even if I don't enjoy it) in older artists who are maybe session musicians or whatever, so get really deep in the weeds with craft, but when it's some 20-30yr old with plug piercings and a bushy soulpatch and 7 string headless guitar sitting in front of a gaming PC with a cosmic visualiser... ...ah gently caress, that's it, isn't it? These guys are gamers aren't they? At heart, they're gamers.

TheMightyBoops posted:A lot of actual wank is like Van Halen but Van Halen is not wank. Yeah, I could hum some Clapton licks right now too. Same is true of Hendrix or Van Halen. Honestly, it could just be a wank on the blues continuum vs blues on the prog thing.

Henchman of Santa posted:“Does it have soul” is another one of those meaningless concepts. It’s totally up to the listener. Unless it’s that video of Yngwie doing a “blues” solo—that definitely doesn’t have it. Yeah, I agree, that's too subjective. There is a sterility to the stuff that sets off my wank alarm, but I think that's possibly due to the really clear and bright, but not distorted, tone the guitar often has and how it's mixed. I think maybe there's a lot of reverb and delay in there too. So, soulless isn't useful to me, but I think inorganic might be?

Dang It Bhabhi! posted:If it has zero sex at every level it’s wank music, paradoxically. Car Seat Headrest aren't wanky though - it's a world of contrasts. EDIT: I was going to cite Weezer at first, but Weezer *are* kind of wanky insofar as they are music about music, it's just that they have actual hooks. I don't know. Two-beers thoughts.

Maybe it's because I don't know many teenagers, but any MGK fan I've met has been 30 year old dudes really into vaping and beanies and women of a similar age who don't seem happy unless the worst beanie-vape dude is breaking her heart somehow.

My brother is into Bluesgrass and speaks highly of Billy Strings. That doesn't register as any sillier to me than Joe Strummer, to be honest, I would just feel weird playing a Fender if my surname was Fender. Leo gets a pass,I guess.
