I’ve long wondered how one would get both the lead and rhythm tones in this song

For heavy stuff pretty much anything Devin Townsend touches. Makes me want a guitar with an Evertune bridge.

I love that song.

Agreed

The Fixx is great. Always dug red skies at night too.

Re: the Reverend and his hearing, I had a chance to have a conversation with him after a show a few years ago. I have a pic somewhere I’ll try to find.

Anyway his hearing was fine. He told us about the time Roger Waters flew him out to England to try to get him to join Pink Floyd. Said it was a pretty interesting weekend.

Hahaha. Man, can y’all imagine ZZ Floyd?
 
 
Anything from Billy Duffy is on point. Since I got my '77 LP the new pickups and pots, it's like dead on a 70s LP Custom sound. The Cult is my first thought. The Bauhaus shout out is strong too.
 
 
Gary Richrath was fucking clown though.
What is the creep and clown comment about Richrath? Outside of his addiction issues, I've never heard anything bad about him.

Are you serious Clark? Richrath is famous for being one of the biggest dickheads in music.

@G650  Honestly.  I've was a fan from the Live album that came out in the 77 up until Cronin completely pussed out.  I've read a ton of articles and dozens of interviews with him (albeit, mostly guitar/music related, and I've never heard anything bad, outside of his addiction problems...and Cronin constantly whining about him. 

 

 

The 'lead' guitar (call/response) on this.  Sounds like shit on youtube, but the album sounds fantastic.

 

Same for Dave Alvin's strat sound.  Holyfuck. 

 

Dave Alvin is such a great player.

What kind of guitar tone makes you wanna fiddle with your amp and pedals to emulate?

Here are a few tones that got me twisting knobs.

 

Anyone know who the guitarist is?

 

 

 

That is Kevin McKinney on that solo.  I saw him touring with Bob before this album wat released.  I have a recording of him doing an extended version of this....and it is KILLER.  That dude is HIGHLY underrated.  And when you combine him with Bruce Hughes and Conrad.....holy fuck, what a band.  

Warner Hodges is one of my very favorites.  He has his killer tone on his Tele with Jason and the Scorchers and is now playing Les Pauls..........and still knocks it out of the park.

Well, I wouldn't listen to much of what Cronin says for sure, but he was pretty well renowned as being a jerk.

Criminally underrated album and band. Brian Blush was the lead guitarist, played a Goldtop through a Matchless with maybe a tubescreamer

Last one...the control of tone the Eddy shows here?  This was in 85.  Holy fuckity fuck.  The Shaver Live at Smith's Olde Bar is one of the best live guitar tones I've ever heard.

Oh hell yes

Here is the version from Smith's Olde Bar.  Keith Christopher on bass.  

 

Neil is my tone hero . . . especially on Like a Hurricane and the Deadman soundtrack.  I also love the tone on pretty much any Ry Cooder recording or anything I have seen from Blake Mills.  

 

So much goodness just in the first 25 seconds, and beyond…

Start at around the 5 min mark...fuck that...start at the 0:00 mark.

made me remember this video, which was great. watching it again now, but my recollection is he's like "this is my mexican strat through an $80 multi-effects pedal that i still have in the attic... and yep it's still there on those presets

look at that... chieftain probably?

 

 

 

hahahahaha it's in a playstation bag

 

Bob Mould.. has been honing that guitar tone of his for some 40 years now. This is like a little promo vid he did for The Colbert Show, but that guitar tone is quintessential Bob.

 

LOL.  My friend engineered a Magnapop record that Bob produced, and he said Bob's hearing was damaged to the point that he would always crank the playback monitors in the control room to unholy levels.

Not that I don't love Bob, he's an absolute hero of mine.  Plus, he plays like me, which is to say "straight out of the Mel Bay book'.

This clip is an amalgamation of great tone:  Vince Gill's guitar, his voice, the fiddle players, the steel player, etc.  It's a Nashville weekly "supergroup" of sorts, a friend of mine's wife plays from time to time.

Note Vince's intro: 

"Something slow or something fast?  . . . Let's do something slow and pretty, 'cause a tornado's coming . . . I don't wanna go home and my last song being some damn zippity doo dah thing."

"There's two kinds of music:  the blues, and zippity doo dah."

Vince Gill is a national treasure.

Live version so the quality ain't great, but the the yellow Tele tone is fantastic.

 

Again on Vince.  Never been able to catch a Time Jumpers' show when I'm in Nashville.
