Guitars in a commercial music!

  • Start date Start date
Ive been to several shows where the attendance was over 100,000...but back in those days football stadium werent what they are now...the beatles did once pack out the local place that the Chiefs used to play in...but one section of the current staduim will holds that ammount of people...and they sell 30,000 tickets for the field now as well.
 
Research of the Bath Festival....it was in 1970, 150,000 people attended. It wasn't a Led Zeppelin concert, there were a shit ton of groups there, many of them quite big in their own right: Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Steppenwolf. They only headlined, but it was a festival. Much in the same way Hendrix headlined the 1970 Isle of Wight festival (and Woodstock for that matter)...
 
In 1970 LZ was a Monster...those other bands hadnt built thier followings yet...and a documentary on that festival said a half million tickets were sold.

3. great mic

Don't accept anything that is good or even really good, it has to be great.

While some do use SM57's for guitar (Santana did in a friend of mine's studio) I doubt it's that common in great studios.

Although I have never done a scientific polling, I have spent 20 years working in studio around the world, and I think it is still pretty safe to say that the Shure SM57 is still to this day the single most commonly used mic on electric guitar amps, even in the "great" studios.
 
You guys all forget 1 thing,

Good Guitar sound =

Good Player
Good Gear
Good Amp Sound


Then you can put a mic in front of it, 57, 421, large condenser, small condenser, ribbon, etc etc, or a combination of them, and position the mic correctly.

You will get a great guitar sound, but it starts with the player, gear, amp sound.

and forget software, keep it real.


Cheers

Alan.

I agree...as long as the sound you hear is what you want the SM57 is all you need...sorry for Hijacking the thread earlier.

Well, to be cheeky, it is a compilation of solo releases by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr ;)

Yes, you're right if we're being cheeky. :)

But it's still a Beatles album in the same sense as any other album. I'm not preaching to you, I know you know that.:cool:
 
I call it a compellation because it was a compellation.

Right now since they killed MJ thriller sold 9 million units and that moved it into the number one studio album spot putting Led Zeppelin 4 at the number 2 position...Eagles greatest hits is a compellation so it really doesnt count.

It was the introduction of CDs that put those two in the top slots...everybody replaced LZ4 and EGH was the easiest way to get all the eagles songs at once on one CD.

A compilation of what, exactly? A bunch of unreleased studio tracks recorded after Sgt. Pepper's that the Beatles thought might sound good together and released shortly after they recorded them?

:confused:
 
It was treated as seperate solo efforts involving seperate studio musicians with single members of the band...Kiss did this too...but released all four seperatly at the same time.

I think it was a brilliant album and that concept made it good...four seperate musical directions...some sounded like surf songs...some were country songs...some folk songs...some blues songs....reminds me of Led Zeppelin 3

:p I probably can't rep you, but I'm going to try anyway.

Darrin, you're the one and only person I've ever heard argue the white album is a "compilation" album. But hey, whatever makes you happy! :D
