Johnny Richman knew how to make the Strat bite! I'll bet there's some good Jimmy Page stuff done w/ a Strat, too

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Monday, 25 April 2005 16:45 (twenty years ago)

BUT THERE IS EVEN BETTER JIMMY PAGE STUFF WITH A LES PAUL.

They should remix it then and just erase the guitar parts.

No, there's great rhythm guitar playing on that: "Astral Plane," "She Cracked," "Someone I Care About." And it's all about the Stratocaster. "Pablo Picasso" is an orgy of STRATS.

I agree that there's tons of Strat usage that totally sucks. Same with Les Pauls, though -- I mean, really.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Monday, 25 April 2005 17:07 (twenty years ago)

also first album is all about Richman not breaking down yet and JOHN CALE producing.

― jack cole (jackcole), Monday, 25 April 2005 17:12 (twenty years ago)

are there any other J.J. Cale fans on the noize boards? I love his playing. Sometimes he used fenders, but maybe not strats. check out this picture of his harmony acoustic that he electrified (go down to the bottom):

no fite -- both are good in their own ways.

― jack cole (jackcole), Monday, 25 April 2005 17:17 (twenty years ago)

though i guess i listen to the cale sessions more -- cale is a better producer, probably, but each has his "charms"

the SG is ze best "rock" guitar. only problem: never stays in tune, but who needs TUNES in ROCK &/OR ROLL?!?!? second-best: les paul, but OH MY ACHING BACK. worst: STRAT. svr, fuck off!

I don't hate it, I just don't know what you can do with an SG that you can't do with a Les Paul and get a little bit better of a sound.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Monday, 25 April 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

i like how chunky the sg is. and the lightness! oh the lightness!

You know what I mean, though? Obviously the Les Paul has more bottom, but it's also got a lot of high end and it's not like the SG has more high end or a high end that's got any more bite than the Les Paul's.

But Talking Heads, though -- I'm interested in this. Must say that it pleases me to see Jack say that they sucked. He's the only one to just come out and say plainly, "Talking Heads sucked." I like a couple of their popular songs okay, but I only ever bought one of their albums: MORE SONGS ABOUT BUILDINGS AND FOOD IN A DOLLAR BIN. I thought it was bad. The psychological aspects of the lyrics were very annoying.

I LIKE THAT MOVIE.

I LISTENED TO THE TALKING HEADS ALL THE TIME GROWING UP. MY PARENTS WERE "COOL"

of talking heads:

first album is OK -- probably their best.
Byrne is a classic pseudo-intellectual trying way too fucking hard to be smart.
Musicwise, nothing really to write home about and sounds done better by better bands.
With Eno things just get more pointless plus worldbeat influence.
definitely one of the weakest bands from the time.
i mean, for chrissakes, the Tom Tom Club were better than the Talking Heads and that sez a lot.

the one live side on that album i was listening to, either the 2nd or 3rd is great. live in 79, maybe? they would be a jam band today.

"99th Floor" by the Moving Sidewalks: you don't do that on a Jazzmaster.

Suddenly I'm thinking I shouldn't even be reading this thread much less posting but lately I was thinking if I had a band I'd want it to sound like Big Black. guitar skinng. fun. What kind of guitar does Steve Albini have?

Some Talking Heads stuff annoys the hell out of me but I really love Fear of Music and Remain in Light. Do not understand how one can be a "pseudo-intellectual," though.

i feel sorry about bringing up not liking strats. dudes takes me way too sersiously.

steve plays a uh y'know one of those things goddammit i'm blanking but it's like an early kramer except better (kramer split from the dude). oh yeah, travis bean.

house of guitars also has an insane record basement thingy. got two stone mint copies of the raincoats first lp there for cheapo.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 04:57 (twenty years ago)

I've got a '63 Strat that I spent an entire Florida summer doing masonry work to buy; it's an amazing guitar, but my enduring frustration with it is that I can never get it to sound really good at each stop on the 5-position switch. The bridge always sounds great, and the neck pickup gives the whole Blackmore sound, but otherwise, the in-between positions often sound really flat/clipped.

Also, didn't Albini play a Dan Armstrong guitar for a while? Was that in Shellac?

― rasheed wallace (rasheed wallace), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 10:58 (twenty years ago)

*I should add that the switch on my Strat is a custom switch that one of the previous owners put in; I've thought about putting in a regular 3-way CRL switch.

― rasheed wallace (rasheed wallace), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 11:02 (twenty years ago)

no, albini's always played a travis bean in shellac. bob plays a tb bass, too.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 13:15 (twenty years ago)

Try to imagine "Fool For Your Stockings" without the almighty Strat -- just try it!

easy now. i don't particularly care who plays what in the end. try to imagine michael jordan without air jordans. he'd probably be doing the same exact thing with another pair of shoes on. maybe some british knights?

re: big black
Steve Albini: "If this record sounds black, it's because everyone else tries to be so twiddle-dee-dee, lightweight, gee-aren't-we-having-fun," he says. Some of the "really good noises" he tortured out of his homemade "stratocaster copy," (cannibalized from the remains of several guitars), for the record include an "instant train-wreck noise," a "female-sounding buzz," and a "scratchy, insects-coming-out-of-the-ground sound."

― Amon (eman), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:14 (twenty years ago)

yeah he played the strat copy back then, in the video of their final show it gets destroyed.

OK, that record's kind of annoying, but Travis Beans are probably pretty cool guitars. Metal necks. That San Diego band Upsilon Acrux uses 'em (or at least they used to -- haven't seen them in years).
