You have a band you really like right? Some band that comes up with melodies that attract you and with their careful craftsmanship, they keep your interest and over the years you come to appreciate them even more?
Ok I have a lot of bands that fall into that category. I remember hearing Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin the first time on the radio.
Man!
I'd never heard a guitar solo like that. The whole band just stopped playing and this guitar player played amazing flashes of notes and phrases.
I was hooked ever since. Jimmy Page will always be Ichiban for me!
But I remember hearing a lot of bands. I remember the first time I heard Queen. Listening to Killer Queen on the radio....a song about a woman so deadly she was like "dynamite with a laser beam"! WOW. What a cool song.
Anyway, I like a lot of bands. But I usually remember what song of theirs I first heard that made me like them. The first song of GO!GO!7188's that I heard that made me stop was 神様のヒマ潰し and I still love that tune.
I saw that Akko is playing Orange amps! Wow! Cool!!!!!!
More THE NUTS!
So recently I wrote about how much I liked a band called The Nuts! They are very edgy, and raw
and everything that makes rock and rock so cool!!!! I love that.
Well, I am very happy to have 2 cool The Nuts CDs!!!! Sugoi!
I loved No School Tomorrow the first time I heard it. Yui's guitar rocks old school and Hana's bass
nails the downbeat to the floor!!! I love it I love it!!!!
Ninja and Do It just kick ass! Hana's got the rock voice goin' on!!!
Go check out their myspace page!!!!!!
I don't think they realize how big they are in USA already! This is what rock sounds like!!!!
I DID SOMETHING STUPID! AGAIN!
Ok, I have a lot of guitar/recording/sound gear. A lot. More than I would admit to.
I have a guitarsenal that I can't justify!
As far as amps go, I have 20 watters, 30 watters, 50 watters, 100 watters, full Marshall Stack!
So....why on God's green earth did I feel the need to go get this?
Man, I must be crazy! It's still in Japan. I have to get it here.....oh man!
