Relativity - Primal Scream

Charles Berthoud's whole thing seems to be take a great, simple song and ruin it by completely over playing and jamming in 20 times as many notes. There's also is "when you have 30 seconds to audition for ......." where he takes one of that bands riffs and completely ruins it by jamming in a million unnecessary notes to create something that sounds OK as a solo piece but would never work in a band

Hotel California - Eagles (I hate this song, it's just terrible)

I just bought three sets of Warwick strings for my daughters school and they were £9 a set. According to the music teacher the old strings were around 30 years old so according to some they were nearly at their peak tone.

Sympathy for the devil - The Ancient Stones

Cici bass is someone I recently come across on YouTube. Her gear demo videos are generally really good, creative playing to show the product capabilities nicely. It's the music videos I enjoy more though, it's a million miles from the usual youtuber slap fest and much more creative. This one I think is brilliant, definitely a bit of Cliff Burton influence in there.

Am I evil? - Diamond Head

Blood and Thunder - Mastadon

I am the resurrection - Stone Roses

From Mars - Gojira

Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols

What's my name again - Blink 182

Burn the witch - Queens Of The Stone Age

After getting started on Hendrix and The Who through my dad's record collection in the 80s my best mate Stu started stealing his brothers cassettes which included Faith No More, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Slayer and Metallica so we copied all of them and pretty much wore out The Real Thing and Ride The Lightning. After that it was Headbangers Ball and Raw Power which introduced me to grunge and a lot of alt metal including Helmet, Tool and Therapy?

In to the white - Pixies

Born for one thing - Gojira

Rain - The Cult

Eyes of the South - Down

Snow blind - Sabbath

In to the white - Pixies

I like to move it - Reel 2 Reel

Girls Girls Girls - Motley Crue

One of the less doomy bands I'd like to see at Desertfest is Hey Colossus. Possibly the least heavy band there but they're really good live and have a really interesting sound. I saw them support Idles and really enjoyed their show.

I want to get one by Lars Fredericksen, that should give a solid punk rock punch.

Do you find that when they're fresh the tone is brighter? I've not taken any notice but now I think about it, my sound gets darker as I get more tattoos.
