# i'm not so keen on her
she never styrikes me as that great a bassist... and i didn't like a pefect circle (that was her previous band right?)

# Wrong band
Paz is in Zwan, whos from A Perfect Circle. And they rocked as well

# Aye they
Do, though you wouldnt know it if they didnt sticl that stuff on the promo cd. Top song "Need One" reminds me alot of Morcheba

# i found her
terribly boring... metheney was as mindblowing as always pity he only did one song
(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:37, archived)
# metheny was quality.
did anyone else notice the strings he was using?
(I helped save b3ta! PMGT -Bacon., Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:41, archived)
# yeah
unusual tuning... aty first i wondered if it was nashville but i couldn't weork it out
(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:43, archived)
# he had bass strings on the bottom 2
some sort of high gauge mid sets and a thicker one instead of a high E. He must have used some open tuning, judging by the way he was playing.
(I helped save b3ta! PMGT -Bacon., Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:48, archived)
# i wondered
if it was a modal tuning

ed: never used one so its pure theorising
(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:49, archived)
# dunno. Itd be hard to tell something like that without playing the guitar itself.
i reckon it was probably octave pair tuning though, seeing as he had the bass strings on it. It was definately open tuned though, cos of the way he was playing it, mostly open strings with chord alterations.
(I helped save b3ta! PMGT -Bacon., Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:53, archived)
# true
basically... he's just a bit good (prefer john mclachlan though despite the pink suitedness)
(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:55, archived)
# no
your right they did sound a little flat... they need to be played really loud in my opinion and that doesn't sound right on tv... i do like corgan and pajos guitar playing though

droning guitar style they have... its a little different, i guess you don't have any choice with 3 guitars
(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:25, archived)
# Paz is
So yummy. And Jimmy is an underrated drummer.

The album is just a taster of good to come, kinda puts Audioslave to shame (apart from Cochise being an amazing single)
(I helped save b3ta! keybo was imtypingonakeyboard, now I'm not, Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:26, archived)
# audioslave fucking rock.
but the new metallica album pisses on everything for the next three years.
(I helped save b3ta! PMGT -Bacon., Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:28, archived)
# No, that
Audioslave album is very poor indeed. Cornell is very good with his voice, but musically its just, well not very good (I mean good chord changes, but thats was Rage, change a bit Tom you freaky headed guitar god)

# morello is morello, no two ways about it.
asking him to do something different would be like asking a leopard to change its spots. I thought it was a quality record, full of strong songs, and some fucking great riffs.

# Personally Id
Like to rip that fucking switch out and stick it down his throat.

My prob is with stuff like "Like A Stone". That solo is dire. I mean dire. The song is good.

The record needed 4 more months work, and not Rick Rubin producing. then it might have been a bit more weightier. Zwan's album was much better for song.

# cant say ive listened to Zwan
but i wasnt a fan of the pumpkins to begin with. Fact reamins though, St. Anger pisses on everything thats due to come out in the next three years.
(I helped save b3ta! PMGT -Bacon., Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:37, archived)

Be better than QOTSA "Songs For The Deaf"

# its a fucking superlative piece of work.
the heaviest thing theyve done in years. its got more energy than anything ive heard in the last 5 years. Its just a big FUCK YOU to people that accused em of selling out and to people that said they couldnt do this kind of music anymore.
(I helped save b3ta! PMGT -Bacon., Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:44, archived)
# yeah... i'm sure its heavy...
but still don't you think it starts to sound like a kinda parody of the stuff they were making... 15 (guess) years ago or so?
(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:45, archived)
# nah i dont think it is.
its much more modern, but the aggression is still the same. They just seem so focussed now.
(I helped save b3ta! PMGT -Bacon., Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:54, archived)
# i've never been a fan of agression
when it becomes agression for aggressions sake (dillinger escape plan anyone?) it starts to become almost manipulative in the way it plays with people who do actually feel those emotions very strongly
(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:57, archived)
# Hmm, well
Lets see what non-die hard fans think, the true test...

# sell-out?
they backed their record label in suing their fans that dared to try to share their songs online. despite the fact that they were charging $50 a head on their us tour to see them.

even though they are shit, have always been shit, and will always be shit.

some nice use of slap back delay... delay effects are my new friends :)

Audioslave smell.

# he's not exactly underrated
but he is an amaaaaazing drummer... i have a live acoustic version of today and hes just awsome on it
(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:29, archived)
# Respected by
His peers, and my friend rates him higher than Dave Ghrol and he loves Nirvana, so thats a high enough accolade I think.

Play with this and have fun

# i've never been such
a fan of dave grohl... what he mostly seems to have on his records is a clarity of tone that not many rock drummers achieve (songs for the deaf being the ultimate case in point) and i think a lot of that falls to the awwwwwwsome producers he';s worked with
(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:35, archived)
# I think
You'll find that the Queens of The Stone Age "Songs For The Deaf" (being the best rock album in many years) shows he is a super drummer now in his own right.
(I helped save b3ta! keybo was imtypingonakeyboard, now I'm not, Sat 7 Jun 2003, 2:37, archived)
# he's good
but somehow... he's jsut a rock drummer... he doesn't do anything different he just does it wel... best rock drummer is the guy from sprung monkey
