    Heardle

    Once the lyrics began, I knew the artist immediately (super recognizable) but not the track. #Heardle #380 🔇⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛🟨 https://spotify.com/heardle?r=share
  2. I listened to most of it today while working on Apple Music. I enjoyed a majority of it.
  3. Welp, looks like brickhorn unlocked the cells in the insane asylum in this thread and the lunatics are now in charge.

    Fire everyone except driussi and fagundez. Replace with local high school girls team.
  5. this is a shockingly dumb post from a poster i felt like i have a decent handle on from posts across the boards for years. and that's not an appeal to flattery, it's genuine shock that you could take the time to construct the above post tilting at a windmill predicated on characterizing my post as outsourcing my opinion. i wasn't outsourcing my opinion, i have no shortage of judgments based on my own listening and experience that have been expressed a nauseating amount on this board...particularly about prince. love a lot of his music...can leave a lot of his music that is pretty forgettable as i said above. drawing a contrast between your opinion that has no basis for musical credibility with a list of people who indisputably have a pretty strong handle on musical talent (not just guitar technique since you expressed he was generally overrated as a musician for fucks sake and i feel like elton might have a basis for an opinion on that) seemed self-evident in its purpose at the time but i suppose it needed to be spelled out a bit more. similarly, would not have expected a nonsense red herring such as keying in on an example or two you take personal umbrage from as if it effectively undermines the unanimity of opinions on a musician expressed by a few folks who have "learned some instruments and a few songs" like paul mccartney, bob dylan, tom petty, miles davis, jeff beck, eddie vedder, elton john, and many others. but again, the world requires all kinds. do your thing. one thing you're no doubt right about...i could certainly stand to learn to become a better guitarist. perhaps you could post some recordings of your guitar work in the share your music thread to bolster the basis for your opinions you claim are necessary...i'll certainly consult with eric clapton as to what i think about it.
  6. i have the presale links for each of the cities...if you want any, let me know and i will post.
  7. @Shoxthemonkey, PG announced the first leg of the north american tour. apparently more are coming including three stops in texas. https://petergabriel.com/news/i-o-the-tour-north-american-shows-announced/
  8. i meant to post this in my original response but i busted this out last night working on some stuff and it reminded me to point you to it in case you were not familiar. universal audio did a digital emulator of the the various la2a's that have always been a bit of a hassle because not only are they the ultimate cpu hogs, but they required ua hardware to actually run. just a year or two ago, they finally released a version that worked with most daws independently. anyway, it is pretty sweet and (relatively) cheap if you want to check it out. they have a 14 day trial as well. https://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/compressors-limiters/teletronix-la-2a-collection.html they also did their 1176 limiters (though i still prefer the izotope products for this). https://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/compressors-limiters/1176-collection.html
  9. On the topic of drawing, just did this one tonight of my relatively new nephew for my sister. Kid has a huge noggin
  10. look man, i may disagree with brick's insane opinion above...but if you think that natalie is hotter than that one sand snake chick that gave bronn a nearly fatal boner or the chick that played missandei, you need to get your head examined.
  11. i figured someone would bring this as a response...there are of course a number of solos that could have been posted. the creep solo stands out, his solo from the induction to the h.o.f. if you can find someone that can compose that line in a way that drives the rhythm at the same time it cries...perfect throws, an amazing musical moment that requires execution talent...oh, and be able to do it with all the lights on in a moment that tributes to a beatle with a fresh take on a song that helped cement eric clapton's legacy as a great guitar player. good luck a thousand guys in nashville. oh, by the way, now walk over and play the drums, the piano, and the bass at an expert level as well. lol, now you're just trolling... eric clapton: "true genius" billy gibbons: "sensational guitarist, downright otherworldly" elton john: "probably the greatest musician i have ever seen live on stage." paul mccartney: "he's my favorite act, he's innovative, plays great guitar" jeff beck: "in awe, amazing guitarist" eddie vedder: "prince was probably the greatest guitarist we have ever seen." paul westerburg: "I can't think of anyone better — an all-around composer, musician, guitarist, star, showman, the whole package, anyone better." stevie vai: "i adore frank zappa. i really love prince." joe bonamassa: "a master." bob dylan: in response to whether or not prince was talented "yeah, he's a boy wonder." dave grohl: "he was the best guitar player." miles davis: "he can be the new duke ellington of our time." robert plant: "prince is probably the most impressive single person" bruce springsteen: "when i'd go to see [prince], i’d say, ‘oh, man, ok, back to the drawing board." nile rodgers: "He was an extraordinary virtuoso, and it made me feel like a million dollars to play with someone who is that talented." tom petty: "you see me nodding at him, to say, ‘go on, go on.’ i remember i leaned out at him at one point and gave him a ‘this is going great!’ kind of look. he just burned it up. you could feel the electricity of ‘something really big’s going down here.'” and on and on... brickhorn from surlyhorns: "so fucking basic." but sure, opinions are what they are so rock on.
  12. i tried to come up with something more insane than these and really struggled. best i could come up with is "bach is complete trash that did not understand music theory and did not influence western music in the least bit." i will give that prince created an oeuvre that is far too large and thus, contains a ton of mediocre stuff...particularly with the new power generation imo. but that dude was a fucking musical savant in every sense both writing and performing. was he a douche a lot? yes. was he self-important? yes. is his music for everyone? no. but if there are a thousand guys in nashville right now that can run circles around his performance with a guitar (or anything else for that matter) - particularly under the bright lights in front of a zillion people on stage, then i am declaring myself a better performer than jimi hendrix and a better composer than tchaikovsky, brahms, and beethoven combined.
  13. So much amateur crap from this team over and over. It’s getting frustrating. Still early days but come on.
  14. Come on Horns. This could be a season momentum turner.
  15. Fucking great rock song.
  16. Good stuff tbone, thanks for sharing.
  17. Honestly, sounds pretty good. Quite the boost. In the name of science, I think @Horn Dogg should send his klon over to me so that a proper A/B/X comparison can be done for the ultimate determination of any material difference based on the board’s review. I’ll send him back whichever one the board determines sounds better.
  18. I think you got something to work with here for sure.
  19. Definitely thought it was a cover of Bombtrack at first.
  20. That is awful. Shocking. His poor family.
  21. FWIW

    That guitar tone

    i of course would probably have endless amendments to this but a couple that have come to mind that should have been on the original list... knopfler's tone on the money to nothing motif (and by extension, the zz top sound). i'm guessing everyone's heard the legend from musician magazine of knopfler reaching out to billy gibbons to try and emulate them for the tone on money for nothing and gibbons famously saying that knopfler did a pretty good job considering he "never told him a god damned thing." anyway, that tone is pretty awesome. clean crunch. tried many times to get it right...allegedly a tube screamer, digital delay, and the right marshall amp. the ideal reverb/delay mix for the tone in explosions in the sky's "your hand in mine." love that sound.
