Guitar Nerds Anonymous

Hell's teeth, this is cool. I've never seen one before AND it's in the UK. Bloody spendy though.

I just did a sex wee...

really small hands

lambeth country fair was last week.

Putting this in here as it seems the most relevant:

Do any of you guitar nerds know of a band that are in need of a new bassist? Genre; anywhere on the rock/blues/punk/hardcore spectrum really, though don't fancy being in a metal band tbh. Preferably central-ish London based for practice sessions.

Pm me if you think you might of anything... Cheers.

Just seen this pic of Jay Reatard playing a Wilshere just like mine at GonerFest a few years back... I'm in good company... RIP...

Awesome. Been on a bit of Reatard (and Ty Segall) kick lately.

^^Sorry LW, can't think of anyone off the top of my head. Good bass players are always hard to find though so I'm sure you won't be bandless for too long.

i've been on a bit of a Trevor Horn jagg lately. Sure, he was single handedly responsible for some of the worst musical crimes of the 80s but fuck me, he knew how to put a record together.

I only saw The Reatards once, back in '99 in Memphis... Amazing show, Jay was only a kid at the time and acting like a complete jerk... I'll never forget it... :D

I need to listen to more Ty Segall, I've loved everything that's come my way...

wha!? FGTH, Propaganda, Art of Noise - not criminal!!

i said 'some'.

most of the work he did with 'Yes' and his latter day robbie (spits) williams fannybatter is utter guff.

coughcoughdotheyknowitschristmascoughcough

OK fairy nuffs

and then there's the Grace Jones album he did...

/still would.

still would listen? yeah I think its on Spotify and that

:P

yes... 'listen'.

whilst we are ZTT related and in the guitar thread, the guitarist on the FGTH records was a ma zing - Steven Lipson

Steven Lipson, who wrote most of the tracks and played guitar on STTR by yer GJ.

yeah him! - full circle kinda

coughcoughdotheyknowitschristmascoughcou­gh

He produced that in 24 hours, so I think we can cut him some slack. Normally he liked to spend months on a record, getting perfect takes and spending days over every track.

I love Trevor Horn. Propaganda (which was mostly Steve Lipson), FGTH, ACT, The Buggles, and ABC's legendary Lexicon of love.
Working on the basis that every other Yes record was shit, and Owner of a Lonely Heart was the only decent one they ever made, he gets kudos for that too. Same with Grace Jones.
I recorded a record in the former Sarm East once.

Trevor Rabin lived a few doors down from me a long fucking time ago.

/ding

Aye. The new Ty record is on Drag City so no Spotify. Dammit.

Highly reccomend the Ty Segall Band: Slaughterhouse record (which is on sptfy). Like a noisier, garagier, psychier Sabbath. It's f*cking immense.

Yeah, that's the TSB record I know... Awesome... I love a bit of snarling fuzz, me...

Been meaning to listen to that ^ stuff... Torrented a great TSB show that was recorded in Denver last year, would love to see those guys play live... Superb guitar manglin'!

For the first time in ages I'm jonesing for a new guitar, luckily it's not too pricey - a Squier vintage modified Jazzmaster. I've got a VM jazz bass which I really like. Amazing how good some budget efforts are these days.

They pretty much nail I've Got Levitation here... They are awesome...

I've got a hi-res movie of that ^ whole show but they've cut I've Got Levitation out...

Just listened to that whole Fuzz album. Very fucken awesome. Went a bit nuts and ordered the Slaughterhouse and Fuzz tee shirts as well. Hehe. fanboy
