Grinning Death Posted August 27, 2008 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. Smashing Pumpkins Nirvana RHCP Pantera Metallica Rammstein Machine Head Black Sabbath Stevie Ray Vaughan David Pajo

Dramatic Hammer Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 As a guitarist, my main influences are: Clor Blur Hot Chip More generally: Soulwax Yellow Magic Orchestra Beastie Boys Digitalism/LCD soundsystem/Justice/Ladytron/assorted dance-rock crossovers etc Girls Aloud Radiohead Muse
Neaver Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Mine would be: Blur (fuck Oasis) Queens of the Stone Age Foo Fighters Muse Radiohead The Futureheads Editors Sigur Ros Justice Kyuss Jimi Hendrix Big Band (Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, etc.) Jamiroquai Gorillaz Rage Against the Machine Ash Biffy Clyro Jeff Buckley That's just my infuences as a whole rather than what my guitar playing is like.
Neaver Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 As a guitarist, my main influences are: Clor Blur Hot Chip Fucking yay!

Some dodgy choices there Jon and Neaver!
Dramatic Hammer Posted August 27, 2008 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 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!"?
Dramatic Hammer Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Some dodgy choices there Jon and Neaver! I prefer 'not ridiculously predictable and cliched'
Samcoma Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Dodgy as in The Editors. Also Hot chip?!?! The futureheads?!?!?!
jonnno Posted August 27, 2008 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:)
Samcoma Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I prefer 'not ridiculously predictable and cliched' Hot chip and Blur are ridiculously cliched'. Every indie bugger loves em. Jamiroquai Gorillaz Biffy Clyro ^That's what I meant by dodgy^
Dramatic Hammer Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Also Hot chip?!?! The futureheads?!?!?! Hot Chip are great! I cite them as a guitar influence because they slot guitar into a dance format without it becoming gay like pendulum
Neaver Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Also Hot chip?!?! The futureheads?!?!?! The Futureheads are awesome along with Editors
Dramatic Hammer Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Hot chip and Blur are ridiculously cliched'. Every indie bugger loves em. Jamiroquai Gorillaz Biffy Clyro ^That's what I meant by dodgy^ Blur I'll admit is a guitarist cliche but not hot chip
Samcoma Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Hot Chip are great! I cite them as a guitar influence because they slot guitar into a dance format without it becoming gay like pendulum Haha they're full on gay! So repetitive and predictable! Can't stand more then 10 seconds of them tbh.
Neaver Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Hot Chip are great! I cite them as a guitar influence because they slot guitar into a dance format without it becoming gay like pendulum Every single Pendulum song off their new album is exactly the same. It's shite. Dunno bout their old stuff cause I've only heard 2 songs but they sounded real similar.
Dramatic Hammer Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Haha they're full on gay! So repetitive and predictable! Can't stand more then 10 seconds of them tbh. You haven't listened to anything other than over and over have you?
Neaver Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Hot chip and Blur are ridiculously cliched'. Every indie bugger loves em. Jamiroquai Gorillaz Biffy Clyro ^That's what I meant by dodgy^ You don't like any of those 3 bands?
Samcoma Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 The Futureheads are awesome along with Editors I saw the editors live and I can confirm they are full on crap. The Futureheads. lol. Blur I'll admit is a guitarist cliche but not hot chip Hot chip is an indie cliche' every indie bitch at reading was like 'OMG YOU KNOW HOT CHIP THEY'RE SEW COOL AND LOOK WUT DADDY BOUGHT MEH'.
Neaver Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 You haven't listened to anything other than over and over have you? It just goes over and over and over and over, it's like a monkeywith a miniature cymbal.

Samcoma Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 You haven't listened to anything other than over and over have you? Haha I've heard a fair few of their releases and I still can't stand them. To bland for me!
