Re: Well caped crusader...

i personally think Frank Zappa was the best concert ever. all of the
band you all named are good, but none of them could come even close to the
quallity of the music that zappa had to offer. god rest his soul. however
this is just my own opinion

Re: Is this a good band name

thats an interesting name in my opinion. however, i think that the name
should fit the bands image and persona. i dont think that name would fit a
hard core band... well then again maybe it would! to me the name would make
me think the band is a goofy, fun, not taking things too seriously kind of
band. is that what you guys are? i couldn't see a name like that for a band
that has a serious image with controvercial songs. but it sounds good to me.
if you take the name and you play out in the pocono area (i'm not sure where
you are from), i'll check ya out.

Partial list? What are you rich? Or do you have a big fat recording
contract backing you up?

I play:
A Westone Dynasty, 1984 ltd. Not bad for a no name Japanese company
that no longer exists.
Some Alvarez acoustic or another, I don't even know what model. Not
enough bottom end, but it's a very loud, very bright sounding wood back
acoustic.

First of all: there's nothing wrong with having a sound distinctive to
you and your setup, even when playing covers. I gave up trying to sound
exactly like other bands. However I'm on an endless quest for a fatter
distortion tone, shouldn't have gotten a Fender Amp I guess.

Second: read up on "Performance Notes" or similar articles in _Guitar
for the Practicing Musician_ or other magazines.

Third: consider your type of amp, whether it is solid state, digital, or
vacuum tube. That will drastically alter what neat noises you can get.

Fourth: don't forget they (the pros) may have access to custom built
amps, guitars, and such forth. They may or may not have been using stock
power amps or cabs.

I also got a Kramer Beretta (with those oh-so-flat necks)
and a Gibson special limited edition (purple) Explorer
as well as an Ephiphone...
an Ibanez Roadstar II
and a Charvel (dunno which model)
an old Guild solidbody
and a couple strat copies
a couple of Paul copies
and about another 10 junky low-quality junkers that i particularly like
also got accoustics by
Ibanez, Ovation (lower-line), Alvarez, Yamaha (stell and nylon)
and once again about 8 or 9 others of low quality
Basses: Ric 4001 series (a la Geddy Lee)
Ibanez Roastar and a couple of Corts
i dont play them all but I bought them all for under $250 (yes, thats Each)
i collect them to the extent that they are a good deal to buy at that low
price.....

(also got 2 drum sets.... PA gear, sm57s and sm58s)
and just got ENSONIQ TS-12 (great piece!)

additionally, I am luck enough to co-own a 48 track A-DAT Digital recording
studio with my band

amps include Mesa Boogie 50+ Calibre... ADA, Mosvalve(power) and a small
fleet of Peavys

i am not rich by any means and bought all the gear myself... though reading
back what i wrote, it sounds like I was a spoiled brat kid whose parents
bought me everything... this is not the case. I bought almost everything
myself used at good deals.. except for a new piano, (which i won in a contest
when i was 18)

what about the rest of you.. what kind of gear do you have?

the distortion back then was different than now. try fuzz... I haven't heard
any of the clash, pistols, etc. lately, but I'm pretty sure they used the
older distortion. I have a DOD distortion pedal that gets pretty close.
Don't use the newer "metal" pedals.

The fact that the guitarist in your band who reads standard notation
plays better than the one who plays by tab only proves:
1) he has more inate talent
2) he practices more
Example, I play mostly by tab, my fiance reads sheet music. The thing is,
she won't ever be able to play guitar as well as I can, she can't coordinate
two hands doing two different things like that. However, she's a kicking
flautist, an instrument I'll never play well.

I know this is from an old post but: Hendrix, Clapton and Page may not
read music, but Van Halen studied music in some gifted student high school
and had to turn in transcribed arrangements for his homework.
There's an anecdote about how he brought in his arrangement of some
piece or another, and his teacher berated him in front of class for breaking
some or all the music theory rules. So Eddie walked to the piano and blew
the class away, they erupted into applause.
This was documented in some issue or another of _Guitar For the
Practicing Musician_.

As far as the rest of the tab\traditional notation debate. What's it
matter?

c'mon man if you was a real musician you make the sound come from you all the
add on are just there and they do help. so stop trying to copy everyone elses
guitar and amp setup get a multi processor and jam till you can't no more
then, the next day do it again.... you'll get the sound your searching for
within yourself.... if you look, it's in there!!!
