What the new village people how sick
From the man himself upon his induction to the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame
Exactly!!!!!
I was always picked on for being different, so I'm very welcoming of others.

Me too my friend! Got picked on until I was probably 14 for having an overbite, being kinda shy and having glasses. Got contacts around that time, the overbite is still very much there but less noticeable and went from shy to pissed off, so they started backing off when I had to begin fighting back pretty viciously lol
So no, I'm not a fan of bullies by any stretch and I sympathize with those who are out there on the fringes.
I'm with ya!
I was skinny and wore glasses and everyone said i looked like Wierd Al. I always had a guitar with me. Instant target.
That guy managed to keep the crowd going all night long..
And I swear he knew every song the bands played.
A true super fan !!
Yep! He is rumored to be appearing at our upcoming Huntington Beach show!
Forensic listening creates all sorts of artificial anomalies.
When the U.S.S. Thresher was lost in the 1960's, search crews thought they heard tapping noises and the same scenario just happened with the loss of the Titan submersible, despite the fact that both vessels suffered catastrophic implosions, because the searchers wanted to hesr evidence that the crews survived.
I can recall recording two guitars, and listening to the tracks, back to back, trying to figure out which one sounded better.
It became a real sonic rabbit hole to say the least. Of course, there's nothing wrong with constantly changing and/or buying up new gear of you are inclined to do so, but for me it was very distracting.
But, when you fire up your gear in a live band, it just works so well. All those subtle nuances you strain to hear in a quiet room are gone. You find yourself more intrigued by the drum beat, the crowd, the energy.
You will NEVER hear subtleties in this environment:
ANYONE that tells you that they can hear the difference between a 0.22uf and a 0.33uf capacitor, cloth vs. poly jacket wiring, or any other such nonsense, in a live performance environment, is either full of
or trying to sell you something.
Everyone here has better gear than most of the world's most iconic songs were recorded with.
Plug in your gear and play it...

Got me thinking, those that know me got see my original music binge in studio & learning at home. Cranking one out almost every week, especially being married to a singer ..it was a wild run of creativity. Easily 200 songs which looking back is a bigger catalog than most real bands lol anyways..havnt really played in 2 years..thinking of getting a Silver face Super Reverb with jensens & i bet another binge flows...
is it the amp..guitar...person..its a combination i believe of shear heart & willpower that makes the tone but when i crank a Super with a jeckyll & Hyde pedal..SG & Strat...my gosh that amp brings out the songs..not sure why..sometimes i wrote on the Super & if it goes heavy, usually move to Marshall-mesa-Orange for apprpate result but from amp standpoint a super just inspires me

You know, this got me to thinking...What the new village people how sick
In the music industry, out actually playing in the venues, i never had a negative encounter with anybody...Never
In 7 years of working in the studio, amongst people from all walks of life, never once did i hear a judgmental comment, or a harsh or unpleasant word.
Music was always a sanctuary for me and the people i encountered in that line of work have always been very kind and understanding of others.
I think that we are all different, in our own way, but i see those differences as very positive things. I've always been different and i never really fit in except in music.
In the Heavy Metal genre in particular, I've met the very nicest, most humble people, despite some that may look outwardly intimidating.
Good to see your posts again!
