OT: Guitar / Guitarist Appreciation Thread

Perry's wife (looks like Marilyn Manson),

“Perry’s frustration had been mounting, night after night, he felt that the stage volume had been extremely loud and his voice was being drowned out by the band,” Etty Lou wrote.

“Perry had been suffering from tinnitus and a sore throat every night. But when the audience in the first row, started complaining up to Perry cussing at him that the band was planning too loud and that they couldn’t hear him, Perry lost it.”

10 years ago when I started researching guitars I cam across a young girl - Kelly Rosenthal - who played really well and is now getting to be well known. She recently did an interesting series on the Strat for Guitar Center. She was never a shredder or noise maker. She likes to be chill/atmospheric. She did an amazing tribute to Tome Petty when he died but I cant see it online anymore



She used to be gorgeous with model's hair but she went butch somewhere along the way

Good discussion on why and how much music has gone downhill.

in the 60s and 70s we argued over bands, guitarists, drummers and vocalists as vociferously as we did sports.
Don’t think that happens anymore.

Rappers - they argue and can shoot each other.
Kendrick Lamar is doing Super Bowl in Feb - when I listened to him he seemed crazy.
He's called a "genius" but they said that about Kanye or Yeezee or whatever he is today

They had a tribute concert to honor the late Robby Robertson of The Band recently in LA. This is one of my favorite musicians Warren Haynes doing a cover of “Stage Fright” by The Band. I really like the singing and he does a very nice small guitar solo at the end. His phrasing, tone and emotive playing is always so good:

Ah...the memories.

Strangely enough I'm currently hooked on a great guitarist who sadly passed away back in January....Tom Verlaine.
The tune Marquee Moon from the album of the same name by his band Television is currently stuck in my head and I can't get rid of it. It's from the 70s, but holds up damn well.

Verlaine was great. Died too young, I think he was only 73. Television has been one of my favorites for years. I think I first heard them on Vin Scelsa's radio show. Got a lot of great music from him.

My buddies and I from the '80s H.S. and college era still argue about the great 60s-70s bands...it's either Zep or the Stones as #1 or #2, then it's usually The Who, Beatles, Aerosmith in some order after that.
