| Music: white stripes - some song they are playing on Conan |
|
| Man do I ever hate crappy guitarists who somehow got people to think that they are any good. I was watching Conan and the white stripes started playing, and there was this neat little bass riff but then it started sounding out of tune, i looked at the tv and he was "trying" to use a slide to play the riff but he jsut sucked at it so much. Then he was trying to play it an octave up with the slide and it just sounded terrible and out of tune. It made me realize that in only one band has slide ever been used successfully...EVER, and that is the Allman Brothers. Even Jimmy Page never did anything great with his slide. Duane Allman would punch this guy on the white stripes if he was alive today. Even stupider is they have some big black guy following them around just standing...strange that a band is so terrible that they need gimmicks to appear talented. I have jsut recently become interested in slide guitar (past 3-4months) and i still cant master a basic slide rhythm, and have only ever written 1 song with any slide parts in them (out of 13 songs ive written). But like visual gimmicks, i guess new bands have to use slida as a gimmick too, making alot of people see it as not an instrument but as a novelty. Sometimes i wish i didnt know so much about guitar and its history...it makes me yearn for at least one good gutiarist in a band of today, the 70's had so many: what went wrong in the 80's and 90's?
