@noclasm1 Tell him to hang on to it, cyclones with only single-coil pick-ups are SUPER rare. The ones with one Humbucker you can find, but not those...
i don't hear anything really wrong with the solo. so what if it didn't sound like the record? he probably just felt like doing it a little different that night.

considering i listen to jazz, and i have a good 6 years of music theory under my belt, i actually understand what makes a sick musician. the pillows are a pop rock band. they play chords and sing... it's not a difficult task. not saying i don't enjoy them, just saying they're not excellent musicians
Sure, they may not be "excellent" musicians if you define excellent music as amazingly complex music. But then I guess alot of the best Classical music would also be considered crap. Simplicity doesn't make them bad composers.
And if you don't like The Pillows' alternative rock sound, you should listen to their older jazzy stuff.

im simply responding to the assumption that the guitarist has the ability to improvise a solo of that quality. my response is i doubt it. however, it's a written, catchy solo, and i like it.
Have you ever listened their albums Kool Spice or Living Field? I think you'd like them. They're from the pillows were into Jazz and blues and stuff. They started making pop-rock because they had to; in mainstream Japanese culture, they never would've seen the success they have now without making the transition.
@Tidusauron12 - Their jazz & blues is still evident in their pop-rock though... which is GREAT! Ain't no Instant Music here; the pillows is 2 legit 2 quit.
Sawao plays a Cyclone. Manabe plays a mustang

He speaks Korean horribly, I couldn't make out what he said. I'd rather hear him in English - At least he sounds cute in English~ <3

how does the solo sound completely off, maybe if was a little off in the beginning but it seems it was fine after that

their rhythm guitarist is fucking amazing and their drummer is very reserved, he's ridiculous but seems to hold back, much like ringo.
