the two records i listed are so good theyre basically best of's anyway

NICE! I'll YouTube some songs first so I have an idea of what I'm getting, then I'll go out and buy they're albums tomorrow (considering dad didn't spend my money this morning)

[horriblemashup]

it might take time to completely like them, but the patience is very worth it

i saw them perform DAYDREAM NATION in full earlier in the year. good show

Damn, they toured Aus? If I knew, I probably would've went to see what they're like. I always wanted to check them out but I never got around to it.

[horriblemashup]

a couple of shows. dunno if they did all states. it was one of those "dont look back" shows, which is when the bands perform what is regarded to be their "classic album"

Ahh I see. I wonder if they went to Victoria
What song do you recommend I look up first?

[horriblemashup]

yeah they did victoria. i went to a sydney show

check out "teenage riot" which is their most accessable song ever. also: "silver rocket", which has a cool noise breakdown

I like it, "Teenage Riot" has a nice, kind of...Joy Division feel, if you get what I mean. My internet's running slow at the moment so that's all I got to check out lol.
What do you recommend for their earlier stuff when they were who they planned to be to begin with? I understand they were trying to be a little more accessable with this album right?

[horriblemashup]

not really. it probably just happened

the other stuff is really really noisy and stuff, but "evol" is a good record too for their early stuff

That is so damn awesome. One of the best things to accidentally come across I reckon
Have you seen this performance of "Silver Rocket" it has the best grasp for feedback I have ever seen...

I'm glad I checked out the song before I went to bed

[horriblemashup]

yeah that performance of silver rocket is legendary

one of my favourite songs of the 80s

Hell yeah
I also learned the song, I'm still trying to get the whole feedback thing down but yeah.
It's in a really weird tuning to, I'm able to get the tuning right though so it's all good.

[horriblemashup]

99% of their songs are in weird tunings

they bring like 40 guitars to every live show. different guitar for each song due to the tunings

Woah, that's a hell of alot. I've been getting the hang of Noise Rock now I think.
Basically, I've just been playing whatever. Going nuts with bends, hammer-ons and pull-offs, the whammy bar and feedback.
Also been using playing with echo, wah and pitch, in association with the genre of course.

I suggest you make an ultimate-guitar account and just upload them on there, works beautifully for me

Also, goofyrat, I'll be sure to check out your's tomorrow
(we're capped at the moment and it restarts tomorrow)

[SPSkmj]

thanks for the tip!

and with that, here's my profile: http://profile.ultim....com/toaokmj07/

"In the Wake of" is the name of the original song that is uploaded

check it out, let me know what you think, good or bad

thanks! everyone up here is sounding excellent

[goofyrat]

nice track SPSkmj, the first section has a sort of flamenco latino feel to it, very cool and would sound fantastic on a classical guitar. The bit with the ascending chords is great as well, that part is very frusciante. Nice work.
