So I guess this wouldn't be the greatest time to start a thread on Limp Bizkit? kopper said:

Hell, look at the discussion threads on this forum lately... Oasis? The Lemonheads? Courtney Love? C'mon, can't we do better than that? This is GaragePunk.com... not AltRock.com.

I wouldn't blame you if you just deleted that shit right off the board.

I don't intentionally try to hip the unconverted anymore, although I'm sure I do subconsciously. I schill my podcast on Facebook and Twitter where probably less than a third of the people I'm friends with give a shit. I DJ at a bar every now and again where, I'd imagine, very few of the patrons listen to this music regularly. The folks who work at the bar seem to enjoy it though and I do get a few compliments each time I spin. I think you just have to have it in you to dig this kind of stuff. Let's face it, the world ain't round, it's square.

With cream he used the sg painted by the fool.He used also the es some times.He said that he only used his wah and no more effects.Just guitar-wah-amp.I dont know if it's true,that's what he said.We are covering it with my band and i am trying to achieve the sound but i haven't yet.If i will i'll tell you,and if you will, tell me.

I think Clapton played an ES335, strat & probably a les paul in the cream era. Also played marshall stacks...possibly blues breakers aswell. He would of used your average fuzzes like Fuzz Faces, Tone Benders aswell as Vox Wahs etc. I'd like to know how that fuzz was acheived on Wanna Be Dog by The Stooges. One of the best fuzz tones I've heard.

For the first Stooges album,maybe Ashton was using a FuzzFace (The germanium Blue one,I guess) anyway check this for details: http://www.vintageguitar.com/features/artists/details.asp?AID=2108 During the last tours before RIP his gears rounded about Reverend Guitars,Reverend overdrive,Ibanez Ts9,Cry Baby Dunlop,Fulltone OCD and Marshall amps (JCM 800 and JMP-4 X 121" cabinets) http://www.reverendguitars.com/reverend/guitars/set_neck_series/ron_asheton.html http://www.bostonguitar.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/reverend-drivetrainu.JPG

O thanks man.Cool. FREDDI said:

Example: Cream At the royal Albert hall (page 182):




Black Fender Strat with noiseless pickups and a maple neck (another black Strat with Lace Sensor pickups).

Jim Dunlop strap locks.

Fender '57 tweed Twin amp, in a stack, with a spare on top (only used on “Sunshine Of Your Love”) and a Leslie speaker.

The Leslie had a separate preamp, used to balance out tone and volumes with the amp when used together.

He also had a Dunlop wah-wah pedal in line.

His wireless system was the Samson Synth 6 system, with packs powered by 2 AA batteries. This ran to the input of his foot-switching unit through a Zaola cable from the cannon out on the Samson.

His guitar straps were by Ernie Ball, as were his picks and his strings (''Slinkys'' 10 13 17 26 36 46 gauges).

Guitar stands by Tama.

I loved so much "Live Through This", second album, I think... when I was a teenager I had true veneration to her, now I don't like her anymore

True, she was pretty good in Larry Flint. So, well, I kind of respect her. Ah, and: I really LOVE the Young Marble Giants, but I have to admit, Hole's version of "Credit in the straight world" is even better than the original. G. Wood said: I liked her in The People vs. Larry Flint.

I'm pretty sure both their records are still in print. Such an amazing band. I have modern kicks tattoed on me arm. One of my favorites

These kids were my favorite band for the longest time. Everything connected with them is bound to be good: The Riffs, Buzzcocks, The Briefs, Marvelous Darlings, Undertones, etc. I've been snoopin' around eBay for one of their records, I'm hoping I can grab it up. And the Nice Boys are killer. More surf I find though, but Terry owns my heart.

I only know "It's a shame about Ray", but I really like it. Reminds me of a pretty cool summer back then. What I find most amusing about Dando is that even when he tries to be hard and aggressive, he still sounds soft and sweet. Funny false self estimation... But still, a good record for summer.

The Ultra Twist!

Don't know them,anyway Beasteaks is a pretty funny name... Mike Humsgreen said:

It's not so much about the grammar but how you pull it off. If the band sings like they know how to use English then it works. But some bands don't have a clue and the lyrics ruin an otherwise decent tune. I find that a lot in Germany. The Torpedo Monkeys seem to pull it off but the Beatsteaks don't.

I only like one of their songs... and it's "Sunday Morning Call".

Definitely Maybe has a few great tunes, like "Rock n Roll Star" and "Live Forever", but overall, I'd say that What's the Story Morning Glory was better overall. Regardless, I haven't listened to either of these albums in years. OCEAN PALACE said:

i agree with you there,,, dont like standing on shoulder of giants either, more than anything its very boring.... some on their early b sides i think are actually better than the album stuff,, "listen up" one of my favourites,,, definitly maybe is still the best they done i reckon

No matter how sad my music is, I have a policy of not chucking out anything. It brings me face to face with the turd that I use to be. And that turd use to like Oasis a lot. They have some pretty sound music but Standing on the Shoulders of Giants is in my collection and must be down there with the worst of my records. Alex said:

I've gotten rid of a lot of the crap I used to listen to growing up (trust me, it's some pretty embarassing crap that I wonder how I ever liked), but Oasis is one of those bands I could never bring myself to get rid of their albums. OCEAN PALACE said it right... definitely a 60's British invasion vibe. Maybe that's why it's catchy. Obviously some of the stuff isn't the best, but it's pretty decent music. Saw them live in 2005 and they closed with a nice cover of "My Generation", so they definitely know their stuff. And of course, you've gotta love the Brothers Gallagher and their antics. That's what makes for a great band!
