That's just a throwaway quick rhythm sound, the focus was the lead sound cuz I was ben-wailing some leads
for sure, if I make it down to the promised land

You have skills dialing in a rhythm tone. Seriously. This is why i want you to use it and record some death metal. I dont give a fuck if you like it. I think it would be nasty

That's fair, I do
It's a very common shorthand used by every generation (gen x, millennials, zoomers) after boomers, because there is a very sharp cultural divide that boomers basically created
If you'd like a thoughtful socio-politcal exploration of this, I can direct you places (youtube: vox day's "why do I hate boomers" edit: its this video I was thinking of, not the "why do I hate boomers" )
But my Mom is a boomer, and it's obviously not all boomers that do "the boomer thing." NABALT, as it were.
There is a very real reason that we all say and use the word like that though, and it would be a very "boomer" thing to just rail against it without understanding why.
Dang it I started that video but after he noted that Boomers always think their gen is different than everybody else…then as soon as he mentioned his gen (GenX) he started talking about how his gen was different from other gens.
I’ve been saying forever we’re all the same since Socrates and Plato. Always different details but still the same.

Oh I can dial death metal tones for sure. It was all I played for years and years, and I still love a bunch of those records. I played on a bunch of death and black metal stuff when I was younger
I just need a 7 string or fanned fret of some kind, and I don't have the $$$ for it right now

It's not the same though, you know how I know?
Because every other generation would be like "yeah we suck lol"
And the self aware boomers, indeed do thatBoomers are the only ones who get super serial butthurt about it, which reinforces why people say it in the first place

Is there a person on Earth that actually enjoys Pearl Jam's vocalist?
I'm not certain there are many who would stand and defend his vocal 'talents'.
I could go on about many bands but Kings of Leon and Pearl Jam are definitely on the list of "TURN IT OFF AS FAST AS YOU CAN"
Why did I mention Kings of Leon with Pearl Jam? They both sound like they are making crying hound dog noises or something when they sing.

I could not possibly agree more, could not like this comment fast enough
What's even worse is the vocalists that are "inspired" by his singing - kind of how when you use a copy machine and it degrades over each generation
Like that one hit wonder The Calling "Wherever you will go" song. It's Eddie Vedder's "vocal style", if were trying to be generous, but an even more degraded, obnoxious facsimile. And added to the most boring, awful music possible.... "Post grunge"

The money train and copycats always follow after the successful ones. Pearl Jam was basically manufactured if I recall anyway. Many are, I know.

basically everything from that era was "manufactured" the way we think of things now - specifically with pearl jam though, I hate how much of hypocrites they are. Pontificating about saving the whales and the evils of the free market while being millionaires and all that.

I think Hootie & the Blowfish also qualifies. I have no idea why or how, but surely it must.

Man, the 90's were lit for band and song names. How did that even happen?
Also, Hootie and the Blowfish's guitar player is famous for one of the ugliest clams in the history of television - check out their cover of STP "interstate love song" - the guitarist flubs ONE note in the intro and it's so bad I feel like I want to crawl out of my skin. The rest of the song is fine, but it just makes that ONE clam stick out so badly.

Yes he did a good job at showing how shitty channel one sounds in these 70’s metal panels. I absolutely hate that typical channel I bright cap tone. Nothing worse than that shrill clanky, garbage, play the guitar with a screwdriver tone. The channel II stuff sounded good.
Used 73-74 metal panels live back in the day. When they were $350.00 all day every day. With some mods, slaving and a bunch of eq, they were ok. Stock and straight in? No way….

You know what is wild? I had songs I disliked completely in my set-list and I was the one who ran it for the band lmao That being said, my versions/covers of those songs were wildly different in ways than the originals for sure.

How do you think I felt when I learned CCR had never even seen the Bayou when they wrote "Born on the Bayou" and things like that. I could veer heavily into the much more terrible things I have come to learn and view in plain sight but that is more for the OTC.

I've heard you play dude, you sprinkle more than just open cowboy chords and TGP claptonoodling
you're just being modest He has a good ear for classic tones
I dig it The last time a played a tube driver I was like 13 and had absolutely no clue what I was doing so I hated it
I'm pretty sure that's common tho
