How does Coxon creates that effect with his guitar.... the one on the solo and at the end... I've never been able to fully figure out. Heavy Distorted Noise Gate?
its just a shedload of distortion supplied by his 2 RAT pedals with a Boss Tremolo Pan pedal and for the last bits i'd guess the Boss DD3 delay as well.
you're surely right... but it's not as good live as it is on the CD, mostly because of the singing, specially on the choruses. Graham can't really reach the high notes properly. Great song though, musically and lyrically.
he is, actually the tune of voice, a little wirde, and thine, represents the whole song, the seak society and people can get u, the harms that u have to support on every single day when u R different, intelectual, sensitive etc. U know people like them, Like me, Like the good respecfull peolpe
Well, after one nasty argument with Damon Albarn, Graham quit Blur in 2003, just before the Think Tank tour...
Ever since, the band has toured with Damon, Dave and Alex, Graham's been making solos. As of 2009, Graham said during a reunion that they won't be making any albums until 2010/11, but theres a very small chance of that happening, since he is still mad at Damon
I think he sounds better slightly rawer, he is never going to be a great vocalist but he doesn't need to be. His distinctiveness brings him huge strength
this song is fantastic, blur is a good band, when i heard this song for the first time i though they were the red hot chili peppers because the voice in this song is too similar to the anthony kiediss voice especially when the red hot made the one hot minute album chek it out!
rock n roll has nothin to do with technical skill. the fact that amazing guitarists like coxon and page have been in huge bands is jus luck, its about spirit and passion.
libertines, classic example, totally shambolic and rough and BEAUTIFUL
Yes I know, I was replying to someone's comment who said they thought Damon was the better singer. Graeme's not really a natural singer and only sang lead on a couple of Blur songs. Bloody excellent guitarist though.
Yes and he's become a pretty good songwriter too, just listen to his last couple of solo records. Coffee and TV seems to me to be a song about him being so disillusioned with Blur. It also was his last full album with Blur. He put his money where his mouth is and left.
I don't think he's a better singer than albarn, but he doesn't do it any bad. Actually singing those low notes is quite hard sometimes, specially when playing that guitar line in the back.

I think the Coke logo isn't really 'selling out' since Coke doesn't need to advertise nowadays, it's the most popular drink in the world (even more than water in the developed world eg Europe, America, Australia/New Zealand.
thats just one of his shirts... i wore it at a bunch of concerts... its like noobs wearing pink floyd shirts and dont knwo shit about the band. they just like the prism. its kinda like that. :) but yesh its not selling out.
whats with the corperate t-shirt graham? Anyway this is a question for those guitar effect experts out there. There is this effect graham uses for his solo in 'Charmless Man'' i can only describe it as a dirty rippin laser like sound. does anyone know how to create it???
