Fuck you, you guitar playing, songwriting, song singing, fancy notes and chords playing prima donna!
And hey - at least I can play a straight 4/4 beat backwards

You know yourself the drummer is the most important component of a band. I'll not even repeat that old cliche but it's true.
Anyway, I use words like "changachangachang" and "dudu-lum" when describing a guitar part to someone in the band.

Shit, I used to sing guitar/bass parts to dudes in rehearsals, especially on covers I knew. And amazingly, most never got annoyed or pissed off at me!

Michael Jackson would do it too. Bowie would often use colors and other various imagery for conveyance, which he no doubt learned from Brian Eno, who, back then, didn't know a B-flat from a bee keeper.Kory wrote: ↑13 Feb 2018, 6:47pmI think that's the McCartney method.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑12 Feb 2018, 9:13pm"A drummerless band is a no good band." - Joe Strummer, 'Armagedeon Times' Vol. 1Heston wrote: ↑12 Feb 2018, 8:55pmmuppet hi fi wrote: ↑12 Feb 2018, 8:39pmFuck you, you guitar playing, songwriting, song singing, fancy notes and chords playing prima donna!

Björk will request "fuzzy" or "friendly" basslines, while Siouxsie once requested that McGeoch make his guitar line sound like a horse falling down the stairs.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑13 Feb 2018, 7:53pmMichael Jackson would do it too.

Dr. Google says it's an orange and the song is "Sun King." And there's no way that that sounds like citrus, so George Martin can go screw (in the great beyond).Silent Majority wrote: ↑13 Feb 2018, 8:14pmNo, I don't think so.Kory wrote: ↑13 Feb 2018, 8:10pmWas it Glass Onion?Silent Majority wrote: ↑13 Feb 2018, 8:07pmLennon, most likely with some LSD in him, told George Martin to make a song sound like an onion.Kory wrote: ↑13 Feb 2018, 8:05pmBjörk will request "fuzzy" or "friendly" basslines, while Siouxsie once requested that McGeoch make his guitar line sound like a horse falling down the stairs.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑13 Feb 2018, 7:53pm

It predates Eno. I can’t find a picture online, but there’s an amazing drawing somewhere Bowie made of his plan for the solo in Moonage Daydream, and I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look like Ronson’s final output.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑13 Feb 2018, 7:53pmMichael Jackson would do it too.

Wow, I'd love to see that. And I guess that makes sense that David was already working in that way. Great minds, and all that...Wolter wrote: ↑13 Feb 2018, 8:30pmIt predates Eno.

Re: Heston, Flex and Marky's Friday Top 5
Hes - serious question here: was Ronson a big influence on your guitar playing? I mean, I can hear the Stuart Adamson influence, with the hyper-melodic, tightly structured, non-blues based leads, but surely Stuart was heavily influenced by Ronno, who operated in a similar "outside the box", non-bluesy way. Is it that heavy Les Paul tone and crazy amp and Cry Baby wah set up he used that makes such a huge difference from his contemporaries? (sorry for getting off topic a bit here).
