Lately, I've been getting into a lot more of the Foo Fighters work and I have to say I'm coming to appreciate this band more and more. I've always enjoyed their music, a raw and unique brand of rock, and I've bought some of their stuff over the years. But, they've never been a "must have" for my extensive (4 old vinyl albums) music library. Until I started checking them out a lot more in recent weeks, it just never really occurred to me how long this band has been around and how much quality work they've put out.
Dave Grohl is the obvious face of the Fighters and is the perfect rock front man. He has an incredibly strong voice and amazing range in his vocals. He looks to be totally comfortable as the front man, which is a huge change considering his beginnings. The one thing that has really drawn me to their work is of all things, their videos. The band, and especially Grohl, show their versatility putting out everything from just plugging in and ripping it up as in "Rope" to a little deeper theme from years back with "Walking After You" to goofy ass comedy in "Learning How To Fly". Certainly can't speak for Grohl but LHTF and others like it tell me he doesn't take himself too seriously and adds entertainer to his musician/artist title.
Speaking of Rope, I noted the video had a 5th member. In checking it out, turns out this is Pat Smear, who had a stint with Nirvana and has been in and out of the Fighters over the years. You gotta' appreciate a rock guitarist who changes his name from some unpronouncable German name to Pat Smear. Anyway, not saying the Foo Fighters are your cup of tea or are even in my top 5. Just a band with a huge and versatile body of work that I'm coming to enjoy more over time.
Thoughts....bands you want to pimp...and what about that band tingles your naughty parts?

Look, just stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.
Big TLC fan, are ya? You're gonna' have to give a better breakdown of their music than that.
-
Someone here lately that I have been listening to and like (for some unknown reason, and it's not teh gheyness) is Amos Lee. Dude just writes some good music with a good story behind the song. A folk, bluesy, jazzy mix. He has toured with DMB lately and that I don't like about him, but WE would love!
-
and "The Band". Have always really enjoyed their music. Nothing that blows me away like some of the others out there, but a hell of a lot of fun to listen to when drinking insane amounts of burrbinz and bbq'ing.

Pat Smear was in The Germs, and then the "fourth member" of Nirvana.
Was on the first two Foo albums, which were the best two.

Very few styles of music that I can't find something to like about it. But my first love is straightforward, hard driving rock. Grew up playing the guitar so I can get into just about anything that features good guitar work. I don't care if it's country, jazz, southern rock, metal (Not a fan of teh speed metals), whatever. I've definitely noticed that people on this board have a much wider range of musical tastes than I've been exposed to. I'd love to hear some recommendations on some good guitar work.
-
Chad, I found that out last night when I googled teh Smears. Like I said, I always liked their music to an extent but never really got into them or did any research until recently. I think Grohl will go down as one of the all time greats before it's over. Not that he's the greatest guitar player or writes the best lyrics...whatever. But the whole body of work is pretty awesome.

Hendrix and Allman.....gah!

Okay Mr. Smarty Smartpants. Let's branch out a little bit here.
-
Sorry about that, I saw an opportunity to be an ass and took it.
Actually I think Zakk Wylde has some good stuff out there on teh UTubes. Another guitarist that I think has come chops is Derek Trucks. I don't know if you can find it, I have never searched for it and a damn good guitarist that is never talked about b/c he is country is Brad Paisley.
John Gayer, of course you already know that one. I like some of Dimebag's work, Hammet's work but others won't like that. I also like Jack White's work. John Frusciante, Dan Auerbach, and Adam Jones have some awesome stuff out there as well. I like Damien Rice too.
The old stuff is obvious, Page (although I thought him to be a little sloppy) Hendrix, Allman, Gaines, Clapton, Beck...etc...etc...etc.
It's hard to talk about and rank guitarist b/c of the styles and genres. Also it's hard to listen to something you don't like just to hear someone's guitar work.
-

And what I mean by this is there are some top100 list out there by publications that I can agree with most of the picks and some I won't even take serious. Usually one that doesn't include "Skydog" in the list but list James Hetfield, Slash and Krut Cobain in the top 10, I generally don't take serious. Not taking away from those guys, but seriously top 10 and Allman isn't even in the top 100? PFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
-
I was always the same with Page. Obviously a great, innovative guitarist, but I think you hit the nail on the head in what I've always thought. A lot of it was too ragged and raw.
Cry of Love is a band that I believe only put out 2 releases but the first one, "Brother" is one of the most unbelievable albums I've ever heard. Every song on there is hot. Audley Freed was the lead guitar on that one and later joined the Black Crowes. I highly recommend it.

Will search and see what I can find.
Don't get me wrong, I have heard some Page that made me think "Jesus Cristo, this guy is amazing, I have heard some Page and thought, hrmm, not really clean". Hard to rank guitarist, mostly just go with what is pleasing to your eardrums.

You hit said nail on the head again. It's all about personal tastes. For instance, Cry of Love. I don't care if 3 people or 3 million bought the CD. I've long since worn the first one out. It's from about 93' and has more of a southern rock feel than anything. 3 piece as far as instruments go. Very unique guitar work.
-
My favorite guitar workers in the not so obvious musical genres are the country guys. Especially Doc Watson, Jerry Reed, and for someone newer Brad Paisley (who I personally consider the John Mayer of country music; awesome guitar chops, half his songs make cheese drip from your speakers). Also Dan Tyminski the guitarist for Alison Krauss and Union Station. Hank Williams, jr. is underrated when he's sober and playing blues on his resonator.
I first saw Paisley when he first started catching on (2001) as an early act at a George Strait/Alan Jackson concert at Turner Field (10 hours of hardcore country, and Lonestar). He played a few things that I don't really recall and then he put away his Telecaster and pulled out this beautiful vintage guitar. I have no idea what it was but it was obviously old and looked like it must have weighed about 200 lbs. Might have been an old Gibson from the'50's or '60's. He played this awesome bluesy solo that led straight into "(I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver) Are the Good Times Really Over for Good" (Waylon Jennings) that had everyone standing.

Exactly, I have a neighbor that is like me, strums a little and just wishes we could be half as good as the guys we "criticize". He is a fan of metal, Metallica, Ozzy, Slayer, Pantera, Motorhead, as am I, but he won't even talk about anyone from say 65-75. To dismiss them b/c they are not your style is crazy, but once again, if he doesn't like it then I don't expect him to sit there and listen to it. Obviously that era is my favorite and I would start the discussion with some of those guys.
I have two or three CD's that I will take from vehicle to vehicle so I can make sure that if I want to listen I can. I likes what I like.

All good ones imo, add Chet Atkins, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings to those in country that I think are really good at their craft. I saw BB King and Willie Nelson in concert a couple of years ago and it was awesome. Lucille sounded beautiful as always and that old Martin with the hole in it and duct tape holding the body together sounded damn good as had that distinct sound when I heard "Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground and Whiskey River".
I heard Paisley and Steve Warner play in Nashville several years ago, in 02 or 03 and they both can play.
EDIT: I didn't mean to say Jennings, I was actually listening to him at the time, place Haggard's name in that spot. Merle Haggard was/is a pretty good guitarist.
Very few styles of music that I can't find something to like about it.
Same way.

I'm not a big fan of most country, but I can concur with Brad Paisley. Saw him live at a CMT Music Awards "backstage" concert (basically just a small concert with limited tickets in an area in Nashville). It was a really weird setup...got the ticket for free from a friend in the music business in Nashville. A bunch of big names performed, but it was literally a small grassy area somewhere near a residential area in Nashville.
At any rate, Paisley displayed amazing guitar work.
Also, not sure if this would be your style of music or not, but Tom Morello is great at what he does. His talent is mostly displayed in less of a technical sense, and more of a "what new sounds can this guitar make," but he's damn good at it and sometimes does display more "traditional" guitar skills, especially with some of his solo work.

I can appreciate guitar music like that, but it can grow old on me fast. An example is Andy McKee. This video below blows my brain. If I tried to listen to an entire album of it I might blow my brain out. On the other hand I have a coworker who will listen to McKee and Tommy Immanuel for hours on end.

Speaking of new country guys. Zac Brown's songs don't lend themselves to a lot of obvious guitar work, but check out this performance from the CMA's a couple of years back. His whole band is good, but if you just want the meat of this video go ahead to 3:25.

Yeah, I agree about McKee. Morello's different than McKee in that he's not sitting down with a guitar and making it do everything. McKee usually plays by himself and has the guitar be the percussion, as well as somewhat play harmony by using both hands, and generally really trying to make the guitar make different sounds.
What I meant with Morello was more in regards to distortion, messing with the capo, using various pedals and settings to mix things up with the sound, etc. He's the guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, so he typically plays with a band; he's not doing everything by himself like McKee tries.

THIS....is what I'm talkin bout'. :thumsup:

Snaggle: Try "Drive-By Truckers" and see what you think. Jason Isbell is from right up the road and has since left the band. Look up some of Jason's work as well. He is pretty damn good, of course it could be bias, but I like their/his stuff. Saw him a couple of weeks ago at a small bar across the state line, he knows the owner really well and a neighbor got wind of him being there, listening to him, drinking a few Fat Tires and some Makers Mark was a good night.
Side note: My wife's cousin played with them for a while (Spooner Oldham) but once he got in the hall, he pretty much has done limited touring, writing and playing. He has some damn great stories, by great I mean about the music and musicians, not about hookers, blow, whiskey and pills. Those are not stories you tell at family gatherings.
Nothing spectacular, but just a good song

I should have know who Morello was. Yeah, Rage's music is slightly different from McKee. All the Rage albums used to have the label stating that all the sounds heard on the disc were the product of guitar, drums, bass, and voice (no synthesizers, sampling, or turntables).

Audioslave prided themselves on the same thing. Given that they were a supergroup, I guess their break up was imminent, but I hated to see them go. De la Rocha's style is fine, but having an actual singer with the band made things better in my mind. Cochise is still one of my favorite rock songs of all time.

Speaking of Audioslave and supergroups my favorite of all time was Temple of the Dog. The band started as a tribute to Mother Love Bone lead singer Andrew Wood (OD) and featured Chris Cornell on lead vocals (Audioslave, Soundgarden) fronting the remaining members of MLB plus a newcomer named Eddie Vedder on lead and backing vocals. After their one album Vedder started fronting the former MLB band and became Pearl Jam. Cornell and Vedder trading lyrics on "Hunger Strike" made it my favorite "grunge" song of all times.
And back on the main topic at hand, Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) is another awesome guitar player but that's no big secret
-
On Pearl Joam, what ever happened to them as far as being relevant? They were as hot as any band going for 2-3 years and then nothing. I was just reading on the Wiki's that "they spent much of the past 10 years dismantling their own fame". para.

After losing their lawsuit against Ticketmaster they said they would not sell their tickets through them anymore. So if you wanted to go see them you had show up at the door to their concert with cash in hand, knock three times and say, "Ticketmasters is the suxxors".

Another great Seattle-based supergroup is Mad Season. they put out 1 album, Above, in the mid 90s. Composed of members of Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and the Screaming Trees. Mike McCready and the late Layne Staley were the big names in the band. Definitely worth a listen!
-
I actually got to strum on Eddie Vedder's guitar. Jarhead also has it on CD of Vedder calling him a pussy.

You are correct sir. I've got the album ripped on MP3, if anyone would like it, please let me know. Happened during the playing of Porch, if I remember correctly.

Years ago, I used to be heavy into Southern Rock. Of course, I played Molly Hatchet's debut until it finally just melted on me. One band that put out a couple of pretty hot albums was The Henry Paul Band. I believe Paul fronted The Outlaws at one time. Real good stuff.
Quick story from up some of you guys' way. Many many moons ago, I was in claims with an insurance company and was handling storm claims in the Huntsville area. Me and a buddy went out to find a watering hole and there was a Senor Frogs (I believe that was the name) right down from the hotel. Middle of the week night and there wasn't a huge crowd. There was a band playing some killer Southern Rock and these looked like some crusty, rode hard veterans. Between one of the songs, the lead singer introduced the band. He was from Marshall Tucker, the drummer (Jackson Spires) was from Blackfoot and one of the other guys was formerly with Rossington Collins. My buddy said, "You ready to move on."
Naaa...you can go. I think I found where I want to hang out tonight. Waitress....

:haha:
My buddy and I saw them at Tipitina's in NOLA. We got there about 45 min before the show started, and it was packed. We went upstairs to get a beer. The NOPD had a barricade about 5 feet away from the balcony, and we were just leaning on the barricade talking to some girls there. This cop comes up, and asks me to help him move the barricade all the way to the balcony, which I did, and then the cop let us stand there, directly over the stage. We thought this was much better, since the girls we were talking to were still there, than going into the mosh pit below.
Near the end of the show, Vedder looks up and me and my buddy, says "you guys got the expensive seats, huh?" and then adds, "while you guys saw Pearl Jam, these guys survived Pearl Jam" and pointed at the pit. Finally he says, "I won't call you any names, but these guys in the pit might think you're a pussy." And then I yelled fuck you, which you can faintly hear on the WTUL bootleg that I have.

No drinky for me tonight. It took me until 3'ish today to get straight, it sucks getting older, it hurts more nowdays.
Now, back to the topic....I heard about Bingham a little over a year ago and to me he is legit as a singer/songwriter. Really looking forward to going to his show.

The review today is of.....our church band. I'm in a big Methodist church and we have enough musicians to where we can rotate people in and out every week and put together a band for that week's service. There are quite a few top notch guys who play lead and one in particular, Greg Davis, who has been playing around the southeast all his life. When I play, (acoustic) I just sit up there in awe, watching this guy rip it up.
Well, yesterday we had our annual spring carnival for the kids with all the blow up slides, dunking booths etc. We always put a band together for entertainment and Greg was playing lead. There were a few contemporary worship tunes thrown in but the first set went:
The Old Man is Down the Road - John Foggerty
Takin' Care of Business - BTO
Swingtown - Steve Miller Band
Good Love is On The Way - John Mayer Trio
Just Got Paid Today - ZZ Top
At every lead break....Greg took liberties. Didn't know Just Got Paid sounded like that. The kids all played. Most of us parents got our faces rocked off. I like our church.

I am amazed at times that you see/hear people that are better than most of what you hear on the radio who just haven't caught that break yet or who never will.

That's the thing. Once you get to a certain level where you pretty much own the instrument, it becomes a matter of taste and style....and being in the right place at the right time if you want to be discovered. There are quite a few guitar players within a mile radius of where I'm sitting..you're sitting...everywhere, who can rip it up with the best of them but....

Below is a clip of a solo from Christian musician, Lincoln Brewster. He toured with Steve Perry after he left Journey and before starting his own band. I put him here because we played this song one Sunday and Greg was on lead. He absolutely killed it. In practice, I stopped playing once just to watch.

Nailed it.
I have seen some bands in local places and think, how in the hell do they not have a contract and then there are bands out there and famous that I wouldn't pay a $10 cover to watch them play.
Now to say this. I would rather watch a band that loves what they are doing and it show, than to watch someone who is great but doesn't care.
Example, I love some Shooter Jennings, even the wife thinks he is ok, we go to his show and him and the opening act just rock it out and you know they are having a hell of a time playing for the crowd. We leave and I mention what a great show I thought it was to have her mention that the sound was off, you couldn't hardly hear the vocals or something to critique, but they love it and you can tell by the way they play and it makes a huge difference for me.
Another Edit: In talking the man I mentioned earlier in the thread, he said that you get tired on the road, but the day that you get so tired that when you walk out on stage and the people and the music itself don't get you going, then retire and sit at home.

My dad has a first cousin named Mike Duke. He caught on with "Wet Willie" in the mid '70's as the piano player. On albums and concerts I wouldn't notice him as much but around the house he was amazing. He could not read sheet music at all, but if somebody started playing a song on the guitar or even humming it he would pick it up and start playing and by the 2nd verse he would be improvising and busting out riffs we had never heard before. I think that's what really shows the great players. I have friends who could play just about everything that SRV, Jimi Hendrix, etc ever wrote, but it is going to sound exactly the same every time.
Incidentally, Mike was also a songwriter who wrote a few hits, mostly for Huey Lewis of all people (Doin' It All For My Baby was his biggest hit). Here's a little web page about him

Doin' it all for my baby. Okay fine, I admit to being a Huey & teh News fan when they were popular. Sorry, but I'd damn sure belt out a Huey tune in the car. I sound incredible in my Ford Expedition....by myself.
One thing about most true musicians that I truly believe. I could practice my ample backside off 5 hours a day non stop and I imagine I'd become a pretty good geetar player. But, I'd never be able to hear it like and just pick up something like so many can do. Most of these people really do have a gift to where they can really hear it, understand it...they get it.
I used to take lessons from a guy here in Dothan who I would consider one of the best all around musicians I've ever been around. My "lessons" consisted of me taking a song to him I couldn't get or knew I couldn't figure out myself. He would literally listen to it one time, pick up the guitar and go, "Okay, there's 3 actual guitar parts going here and one has the E string tuned down to D and he's using this....". Then he would proceed to play it and teach it to me. He gets it. He has that gift.
When I was talking about the church band yesterday, the bass player is a kid about 15 years old. Easily the best bass player in that church. Never looks at music, just hears it and figures it out. Ran into him in a music store last week and he was tearing up an acoustic guitar. I stood there thinking, 15 years old and more talent in his pinky than I gots in my whole body.

Speaking of "you have it or you don't" last night I was getting caught up on the DVR and had forgot that I recorded "Hendrix: An American Landing" from TV Ovation Channel. The first 30 minutes was some interviews with people that knew Hendrix from the business and the last 30 minutes was him playing. It was clips from the 60's that they had cleaned up the image on. Still the same sound. Un-freaking-real!
Played the solo to "Hey Joe" with his teeth, played part of "Wild Thing" behind his head with the guitar flipped upside down. Played part of "Foxy Lady" with the guitar tucked underneath his leg. Impressive that he could play that way to me. I know it was flashy, but the sound he was getting as well......ahhh. The most impressive part was watching how he moved up and down the fret board. It was like it was easy to him.
My wife made the comment about it being tragic that he OD'ed. I disagreed and told her that it wasn't tragic to me, that it was just ignorant, and it kinda pisses me off that so many have deprived the world of their gift, which is exactly what they have, by doing that. Now Croce dying in a plane crash, Allman having a truck pull out in front of him, that is tragic.

I know there's a ton of Rush fans out there and I do appreciate their work. Alex Lifeson has always been a top flight guitarist and certainly one of the most unique guitar players with his own particular style. And Neil Peart is drumming God to many. I loved the straightforward rock on their debut album but honestly, I can only take so much of Geddy Lee's voice.

Last night I was flipping stations in the car and heard Black Friday from Steely Dan. I hadn't heard that in forever and had forgotten how hot the guitar work was in that song. Got home and started pulling up SD videos. What an incredibly unique band and how freakin' ugly is Donald Fagen? Jeenyus.....but damn!!!

Foo Fighters were pretty good at the Hangout Music Fest. They had to fill in some for Cee-Lo because he was late. They played for about half of his set, then did their whole set later.

When I read that, it reminded me of the Metallica documentary that was on a few years back. What always stood out to me was the incident where Metallica was opening for Guns-N-Roses and Hetfield got too close to the pyrotechnics and got fried. They rush the guy to the hospital with burns...however...GnR refuses to go on...better yet...Axle Grease says his throat is scratchy and just doesn't feel it. The crowd rioted and I think it got pretty bad. I remember the lead guitar player for Metallica (Forget his name) saying how they had a chance to come on and save the day but Rose came up with a lame excuse not to play.

Saw that same program. What stuck out to me was one of them saying "some of our fans are saying we are sellouts. Well they are right. We have sold out. EVERY DAMN SEAT WHERE WE PLAY."

Weerrrd. Never been a huge fan of their early speed metal stuff but then, I mildly detest speed metal of all sorts. Love teh heavy rock and roll but speed metal just makes my brain hurt. I became a much bigger fan of their music once they changed direction for lack of a better term. Sad but True is still my fav.

I never thought they sold out, but I like the older stuff better. When I hear "Four Horsemen", "Master of Puppets", or "Seek and Destroy" I just blast it out the speakers.
And both of the above quotes were from Behind the Music if I remember correctly.

<3 metal (Motorhead, Metallica, Shinedown, Megadeath...etc..etc) only if I am pissed off at something or the world. Don't ask, but "Concrete Jungle" "Suicide Messiah" and "Spuerterrorizer" by Black Label Society can put me in a really great mood. Now Red Dirt and Southern Rock is my favorite genre. Psychobilly is fun as well.
Kirk Hammett is the lead guitar player that you saw. Favorite Metallica song is "Fade To Black".
-
Kirk Hammett....ahh...brain fart on my part.
Quick story. One night years ago I'm up watching Letterman. He comes back from commercial and says, "Hey kids, do ya' love the rock and roll? Well wake the neighbors, here's Megadeth" I perked up as they ripped into the one Megadeth tune that I can turn the volume up to 11 on everytime.

Rose Hill was another good one from them.

Couple of good videos with Doc Watson.
Doc warming up before a show with "Shady Grove". Something about an old man singing makes a song sound even more haunting (see Johnny Cash and "Hurt"). At the end, "Don't ask me how I learned to pick, it took too many years."

Love the licks on "Stickshifts and Safetybelts". Has a unique sound that he pulls from his guitar.

I will agree with that, they have their own sound and have done covers and it made it their own. Give me McCurdy's skill set and I will call it a day.
His gear:
Gibson Chet Atkins Tennessean guitar
Guild X170 guitar
Fender Blues DeVille amp (miked with Audix D-3)
Pro-Co Ratt

The official video was a lot better, hard for me to hear the one from Conan. Drumer is good. I have a friend that plays in a metal band around the Shoals and you never think about how much he sets the tempo, rhythm and other things he does. If he fucks up, it throws everyone else off.
Also, the channels I listed in the previous post have had some really good shows on the past few days.

The talk yesterday about Nickel Creek got me looking around last night to check on what the former members are doing. Came across something I will be following up on when I saw Chris Thile had formed a band...(or joined a band, don't tknow which) called Punch Brothers. It was late and I was ready to hit the rack so I only saw two videos of them. Both were "live" songs. Not in concert but like standing around in a studio.
Anyway, it's a collection of bluegrass instruments playing their own unique style of songs, which is what appealed to me so much with NC. Mandolin, banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle and stand up bass....the standards. It's one of those sounds that may only appeal to a very small percentage of the people but I loved the hell out of both songs. Incredible musicians.
