i can't stop listening to this

To go with that.

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

A master class in musicianship. Also, a double-necked Rick bass? Maybe Chris Squire used one at some point? I've never seen one used anywhere else.

Edit...on a second look it appears to be a Rick bass over a guitar and not a 6 string bass. I was kind of wondering why a double-necked bass in the first place. I'm a drummer, forgive me, bass legion.

Probably my favorite non-Beatles album.

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

Jammed this one on drums tonight after coming across it on a random mix CD that was lying around. Heavy jam. Always liked STP!

If you have never heard it have a listen.

My friend Elliott who now owns a record shop and used to run Soul and R&B nights introduced it (alongside a looooot of other stuff) maybe ~12 years ago.

One of the best voices ever.

I have a Rick bass, the same one that Geddy and Squire played. It's a pain for a number of well-documented reasons, but one of the coolest and under-appreciated features is the Rick-o-sound pickup split.

There are two outputs - one is a regular mono output with a sweepable pickup knob. But there's also a second output, and if you plug another lead into that one, now you've got two mono signals coming out - one for the bridge pickup and one for the neck.

I used it on a few recordings, and it's really nice to be able to blend between the two in the mix.

There's also a circuit bypass switch, which lets me bypass the modern circuitry and use only the circuitry that was in the original Ricks backinaday, so I can properly jam out to 2112 and Fragile

Or Mötörhead lol. Ace of Spades, baby!

Such a great song! The solos are gold. Lee Morgan (trumpet) is like 20 years old on this recording.

Crazy story. Morgan was playing a gig in New York in 1972, and got in a fight with his wife in between sets. She shot him, and the ambulance was slow getting there (apparently it was snowing) and he bled out. He was 33.

Here's a live version of the same song - though I feel the solos are much tighter on the recorded version.

 

[Beef Invictus]

i can't stop listening to this

This album is so f***ing good.

 

[flyersnorth]

This album is so f***ing good.

The Real Thing is my fave tune on this one!

 

[Appleyard]

Appropriate when looking forward to the 2nd round of the play-offs...

 

[landsbergfan]

for guitar people, especially periphery fans

 

[dragonoffrost]

Love this song and I am happy it's become a staple of the residency shows in MSG. I've been twice and he's played it both times along with the last time I saw him in Philly at CBP.

 

[deadhead]

AINEC.

Meh, Liz Phair is alright, but also got hyped b/c of PC thinking, Chrissie Hynde can out f*** and out bitch her any day of the week.

 

[deadhead]

Pretty epic with a Mel Taylor vs Max Weinberg drum battle! Hard not to smile when watching.

And one of my favourite ever guitarists in Nokie Edwards.

I assume you're a Dick Dale fan then?
