'Scales Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Ah, this is self indulgent, but I love these guys. In an age of pre-fab bands, to go see these boys play pure goddamn 3-piece rock, with the most sublime/insane solos and kick-in-the-nuts rhythm is a rare treat indeed. and this is how they make that noise...

pippy Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Interesting stuff, 'Scales. Thanks for posting. I didn't know much about Dinosaur Jr. until you posted one of their tracks in a thread a few weeks back - with a comment something like 'the greatest song ever written' - and checked them out. Me Likee. Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Well that makes me very happy Pip. I encourage you to explore the catalogue. Many great songs - sludgefeast, the wagon, out there, feel the pain, start choppin, crumble, pieces, watch the corners... I just missed them when I was in London last November (saw them in Byron Bay in January!) - I'll be back in London in November though and if they tour again then I'll shout you a ticket.

Thanks Scales! I think it looks mostly the same as the last time I saw, but I'm still drooling. You know I love the fuzzes and amps! I love the 620/12 too, I'm GASing for a 660/12 myself What kinda fuzzes do you has mang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Every interview with J Mascis is worth watching. It's like watching a sloth in a man's body - was very surprised to learn he doesn't smoke or drink! Like some of their stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 I enjoy J's interviews. Obviously he has his communication issues, but he's unfailingly polite, patient, and I've never heard him big-note himself despite being among the great guitarists (RS top 100 etc) still performing, and the fact that you can go to a pub and work your way to the front easily enough (if you can handle the volume ) to stand and watch such a player is pretty unique! Dub, I thought you'd enjoy it - cool! I play just rhythm now and don't have a fuzz box - just use drive or dirty channel. I liked that one (Tonebender?) with the gate though - J's fuzzes can sound amazing, but it's all combinations of pedals so unless he puts out a sig pedal it'd be hard to get near his sound probably. I saw there's a Ron Asheton fuzz been out a few years - have you tried that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
