Grinning Death Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 who did you rip your style from? I'm "Self taught" but it's more like I brought a couple of books and a load of tabs and just went from there.

Dramatic Hammer Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Fucking yay! The guitar work is just so inventive and not your typical powerchord/riff+noodle solo shit... If you're of a similar mind you should definitely check out Clor - split after one album but it's the perfect piece of guitar-based electro pop!

Neaver Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Some dodgy choices there Jon and Neaver! Which ones are dodgy? Dodgy as in "oh my fuck what are you doing?!" or dodgy as in "oh my fuck, that's odd!"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnno Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 You wouldn't have heard of my influences anyway:phu: seriously though...i dont know. off the top of my head i guess chris cheney, malcolm young, brian setzer, scotty moore, danny gatton. stuff like that. really getting into some players like james muller and pat metheny now. that could just as easily be a list of players i like. my "influences" change depending on my mood.

Yeah, I mean the start of a song like There's No Other Way is so fucking good. The only problem I currently have with Blur is that I have their albums saved onto my Xbox 360 and used to play Battlefield 2: Modern Combat constantly with it on, so all I can think of when I listen to them is playing that game:LOL: Dunno what my favourite Blur song would be, Good Song, Coffee and TV, This is a Low, Best Days, argh there's too many to choose from. I'll have a look into that band:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samcoma Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I prefer 'not ridiculously predictable and cliched' Hot chip and Blur are ridiculously cliched'. Every indie bugger loves em.

Dramatic Hammer Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Also Hot chip?!?! The futureheads?!?!?! Hot Chip are great!
