what is this?
Or was there a particular song? I've been blaring my early '90s jams all evening trying to knock out homework - everything from Smashing Pumpkins to Marilyn Manson to NWA and the like. Got me thinking about the subjectivity of youth.
Is there any particular moment in your life that you can remember being sucked into the folds of being a musician (or attempting it the best you can)? My dad had custody of me as a child and used to put an old vinyl on when he'd put me to bed - hendrix, sabbath, trower, you name it. All the "good old stuff" to me. I spent my summers in Colorado and my Uncle had acoustic guitars sitting out since I can remember. I'd always stay up later than everyone else and snag one and plink around on it once my hands were big enough to actually make anything happen. The album that got me started on the path that I am now is "Siamese Dream" by the Smashing Pumpkins. To me, the guitar tone on that album is my goal. I appreciate all the "good old stuff," too, but that's the album that prompted me to go and buy a guitar 19 years ago... Creamy, yet defined. What's yours? In the blood or were there some influences?
