  1. I didn't know Fela Kuti's music so just had a listen. A very talented musician but rock & roll??? It's not even pop, more like jazz. I don't mean that as a negative comment against his music, far from it. It just doesn't come close to rock and roll.
  2. They might not have a big catalogue of music but what they did release was incredibly influential. They did something really original and creative. They had as many killer tunes as most bands who released 10 albums.
  3. It's a weak list and half of them aren't rock and roll. MC5 should win it I my opinion.
  4. It's a shame there's no free trial outside the US. I don't care either way about the Young/Rogan thing but the sound quality sucks and the music suggestion features blow so I might just give it a bash.
  5. Bloody useless then! "You listened to Slayer, perhaps you'd like Coldplay"
  6. I played in a band with a guitarist who only had 4 strings on his 6 strat. His bridge rattled but I don't think the bridge was at fault
  7. Kid Rock did put out a song (All summer long) with a solo in the wrong key though so that might make him worse. They're free to love Trump if they want. Let's just judge them on their music instead, there's enough there to dislike.
  8. First thing I learnt when training to be an engineer is that good engineering design is about identifying and solving a problem at a reasonable cost. This product didn't appear to follow those principles.
  9. Is that a good tone aluminium? Needs a tort pickguard.
  10. I was thinking more about the time he boasted about sex with underage girls.
  11. This morning it's a bit of Savages. Excellent post punk fury. Such a shame they split.
  12. Is the range of music as good as Spotify?
  13. What does the Russian bit add to the big muff? Is a more communist fuzz a good thing?
  14. I have no idea why Nugent isn't in jail. He's openly boasted about some pretty terrible things.
  15. I've been enjoying some classic stoner metal this evening. Welcome To Sky Valley by Kyuss. Scott Reeder's bass with Brant Bjork's drums is one of the most perfect rhythm sections in metal.
  16. Tim Commerford got some great dirty sounds with a Stingray, mostly an Ampeg with the gain cranked. Rex Brown used a Stingray with Kill Devil Hill and got great dirty sounds. Trent Reznor used Stingrays on the first couple NIN records with plenty of dirt and I've seen him use one live with fuzz.
  17. Because I prefer playing Stingray and when I turn off the dirt, the Stingray cuts through much better. Different sounds for different songs.
