Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Yoou know i've been playing Animals to much lately. and praise be this album, BTW Here's some of that good ol pedestrian playing for Fra Fra. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QA30qkRYy8 Mick Also Gilmore. Gilmore Gilmore Gilmore. If you are not moved by his playing on like...literally anything in their heyday, there is little hope for your understanding of music. Dogs is just incredible really, might be their greatest song. Idk why people think Echoes is better but perhaps I should spin it more to figure it out. In the meantime, this stands as Floyd's best sidelong piece to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) I travel frequently to and from VT during the winter months. While riding through rural farmlands with snow covered fields, I put on Atom Heart Mother. This Gilmour solo.... perfect for the scenery Edited January 31, 2018 by custom55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Technique reared its ugly head and killed all the soul. 70s: I'm in pain, I'm angry, I'm lost 80s: look what I can do! Yeah, ditch that self indulgent brooding crap and give me something more joyful and ambitious. I wouldn't say that's 'loss of soul', I'd say that's a freeing of the soul.

Mick My first was actually Animals, lol. I still vividly remember getting through summer gym class between my freshman and sophomore years of high school listening to Animals, Crystal Ball, War, and Origin Of Symmetry (Muse). Good times for my music listening (not so good for having to take summer gym, blech!). By the time I got Dark Side a small part of me was like, "what, this is it?" But I came around pretty quick, it's another basically perfect album, just not as personal and affecting as Animals. Also, WYWH...kinda overrated...and The Wall is terribly difficult to get into at first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Okay so I admit there are a lot of great 70s guitarists. But that does not change the fact that the very late 70s and 80s was when all the innovation happened. You can NOT sit there and tell me that Eruption didn't change everything. From the sound of the guitar to the way it was played. Edited February 1, 2018 by fraroc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the sound of the guitar to the way it was played. I'm sitting here. I'm suggesting that Eruption didn't change everything. I'm super glad not every guitar sounds like that, and not every guitar solo sounds like that. I agree that Eddie has more feeling in his playing than your typical shredder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did change everyone's perception of what a guitar could do, yes, but as many guitarists that bought into that idea and achieved fame and success copying or extrapolating on EVH, many others found their own way. Let's not forget that arguably the most influential 80s band on the past nearly 20 years of music was pretty much U2, and The Edge most certainly didn't care a bit about what finger tapping or sweep picking was.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Oh i know many don't like Eagles......but Don Felder was another awesome 70's player. MickAnd Joe Walsh. Holy Shit! I'm living proof about Don Felder! I saw Don Felder open up for REO SPEEDFAGON and STYX! Don Felder BLEW REO AWAY!!! Don was incredible! I had seventh row center. His white double neck guitar caught some sun glare that went right into my bewildered eyes! DON FELDER KICKED ASS!! Even Tommy Shaw came out on stage to jam with him! FUCKKING EPIC!!! DON RULES! JOE WALSH TOO! Saw Joe at the same venue a year before Don. It's crazy. I've never seen The Eagles but I saw Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Don Felder at different times. All at the Concord Pavilion. I am taking my parents to see The Eagles this Sept! I think it's cool that Vince Gill and Deacon Frey are in the band. PUMPED! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirteen Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 70's or 80's??? I can't decide tbh. I divide lead guitar into two different eras: BYJM (Before Yngwie J. Malmsteen) & AYJM (After Yngwie J. Malmsteen). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Excessive finger tapping can make me wanna kill myself. so i'm kinda glad not everybody bought into that. i skip Eruption most times i play that record anyway.
