Sounds bad ass man. I have a limited attention span for instrumental stuff, but I do like how the Mosrite sounds. And those guys still nail it after all these years. Hearing "I Got A Woman" brings back one of my all-time favorite albums. I only know this from the "best of" album The Atlantic Years, which I have bought twice on CD. Ray Charles was something else. And he collected good sax players over the years. This early stuff of his just kills me. The "Georgia" era wasn't my thing. But these old big-band songs of his make the hair stand up on my arms.

Lol. Holy crap. I just youtubed some Collective Soul and the related videos sidebar is a hilarious time machine back to 1994. Awesome.
Here's one for JDOD, he really likes that time period.
Unfortunately, like every other phase in music, there's a lot of shite in the early 90s

Collective Soul - I'll sum it up for you JDOD.
My wife has three of their albums!

Ah... probably shit then. I think its time I tried listening to them.
EDIT: Shit, they're awful.

Fuck yeah that's pretty awesome. I spent a lot of time in my youth listening to exactly that kind of stuff. While my friends were listening to Quiet Riot and Journey, I listened to stuff just like this from my parents record collection. Hell even into high school, I'd pick a friend or a girl and we'd be listening to Chuck Berry, not Whitesnake or Madonna.
Here's another guy that influenced me early on. Again, you probably can't hear it in my crappy music, but this guy's guitar playing taught me some stuff. I learned the guitar solo for this song when I was like 15-16 and to this day I still play in that style a lot of time....just with Marshalls.
In fact, all of this guy's music still resonates with me. I love how chunky and choppy he plays and he includes a lot of bass notes going from chord to chord.

Like all your clean tones, they sound real good. I'm not crazy about the heavily distorted tone at the end. It just doesn't seem to fit the rest of the instrumentation. It's a very cool musical idea I like it a lot. Nice finger work on the guitar by the way!

I'm just pleased he's getting the same tone as me out of the same amp - proves I'm not doing too much wrong.

I just went to visit the house from The Young Ones. I would have taken a picture but it was quite unremarkable. Dunno what I was expecting but there was no talking Greek statue and Rik Mayall wasn't crucified above the front door.

Here's an interesting tone comparison. Metallica have a new track "Hardwired" Full modern metal tone, really bottom heavy and think. Sounds shit, which is a pity 'cos its actually a good song, although a bit "Metallica by numbers"
Some guy has re-done the riff with approximations of the tone from their first 5 albums:

My favourites were Kill 'Em All and Master of Puppets.
Here's the original.

Obviously we all need the secret 7. If you're not howling with laughter before 3mins you are either German or religious.

Oh, fuck me, this is getting into some sort of pseudo-religious philosophy now.
I've had this on in the background now but I had to turn it off at the 15 minute mark when he was telling me what the purpose of writing a song was.

I am consciously and actively avoiding the new metallica song at all costs. I'm trying to see how long I can go before I just end up knowing it by proxy. Like that dumbfucked Call Me Maybe shit-pop song from a few years ago. I've never heard it but I somehow still know the fucking song.

I've never consciously heard Call Me Maybe and had never heard of it until you just mentioned it. I'll look it up in a bit and see if I've heard it and know it anyway.

Don't do it. It's old now. If you've made it this far consider yourself lucky.

I've actually never heard it before. I turned it off after 30s though 'cos it was totally gash.
The new Metallica song is a lot better than it.

I doubt it, but I hope to never find out.

I know you loathe anything Metallica do post-'86 as a matter of principle but its pretty much all better than generic mass produced party pop. With the possible exception of half of St. Anger and that weird thing with Lou Reed.
That Metallica tone comparison is interesting though. My favourite would be Kill 'Em All tone which was the pushed Marshall and the MOP tone where they'd just got their first Boogies but before the Rectifiers. I think the Marshalls were pushed a bit too far on Ride The Lightning.
I don't like the later stuff with the Dual and Triple Recs and Randalls and stuff.

I like "Justice" a lot. What was that, 88-89? I know everyone likes the first three albums, and I do too, but I'll include Justice as well. I don't even care about the bass-less mix on Justice. I like the songs. And Garage Days. Everything before the Enter Sandman shit is good to me. The Black album and everything after is poop.

I think Justice was about 88 or 89, yeah. I didn't like much of it though, I found it was getting a bit "Proggy" if you know what I mean. I found it hard to get into the songs as the time sigs on some of them were just too weird. There are some great bits on there though.
I liked The Black Album in the early 90s (when I was 15 - 17) my band used to play Enter Sandman, but in hindsight I can see that its very watered down. I re-listened to Load/ReLoad a few years ago and they are alright as generic hard rock albums but they're not exactly Metallica albums.
St. Anger was just a bunch of washed up drunks who used to be in a metal band being told what to do by a record company.
I actually like the songs off Death Magnetic but fuck me, the production is awful! I was actually putting together a few playlists recently and just about everything that I put on there that came from 2005 - 2010 had a massive volume spike and sounded fucking terrible. The Killers are particularly guilty of it!
