@dp471 It's alright, just call it 'alt rock' and it's not generic. Never mind that all songs have that same lacklustre feel and go absolutely no where. You don't have to watch a video to post comments on it either.
its not just about how much "shredding" is being done. the solo fits the song so perfectly. he certainly can rip the guitar a new one, but it wouldnt fit the vibe of this song
Oh, I agree completely. It's not about how many notes per second are being played; it's about how well the solo blends with the rest of the song. Sometimes a solo only has to be a few bends. Still though, calling it "shred" isn't accurate.
shred is basically a slang term meaning do an impressive guitar solo. rivers did the perfect solo for this song. he shreds to the perfect degree every time which is why is so great!
"Shred" is a style of playing, like flamenco, or slap. A solo may be impressive, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's "shred." David Gilmour's solos are impressive as fuck, but he certainly does not play shred.
You can't really like this if this is a defining song from your youth. They should have all quit and found real jobs after Pinkerton. I hate hearing a song I love so much sound so rehearsed.
rivers underwent a lot of phases in his personality on stage. he started out as a geeky rockstar, then he tried to be a tough, cool guy rocker, and now he's a rocker who dresses and looks like a soccer dad, but would rather be a rapper. but no matter what phase he's in, he still rocks!
This song kinda lost its meaning now that hes a huge rockstar, i mean they perform it well (very well), but its like the soul of the old geeky rivers is gone and is replaced with some "cool" guy who wears sunglasses and says cmon ladies = (
na dude, he hasn't lost his roots and he's still a nerd. I assume you haven't purchased the Red Album, cuz the entire album is basically him stating (very well lyristically) that he's a nerd at heart and he doesn't give a fuck wut anyone thinks about that.
Er, I dunno if they performed in Camden multiple times, but I saw a video of them playing Hash Pipe in Camden, and he wasn't wearing sunglasses. Maybe it was the lighting in this video or something.
yeah it was one show. he switched the shades in and out. that Hash Pipe vid though, easily one of the best LIVE versions if not the best! the Les Paul roars!!
Good version of this song!
