General Music Chat

Philby I guess in the end if it sounds good then just go with it. Thats all that matters and whether you feel good doing it or not.

Have agood weekend dude, Im actually off from music this weekend until sunday night. My first free fri and sat in a while. I may hang around the house and record something. Ha Ha go figure

Maybe I need an MA Meeting, you know Musicians Anonymous!

Or maybe I'll learn something note for note.

Have a good one, JW. I'm working at the fair tonight...get this...the flat singer guy now wants me to sing bu's on Santa Monica.

I tried it. Why is it that whenever I hafta learn to sing something, my bass skills just fly out the frikken window? It's like having to learn the whole damned thing from the get-go all over again. I got no prob's doing it on 6-string, but the bass...I have a helluva time singing & playing. Even on such a stupidly simple song as this. It drives me nutso.

GRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr.

Been working on the vox all day while working...maybe I can pull it off. We'll see in a bit.

Oh, & yeah, I'll look oh so professional with my lil cheat sheet, too...I'll hide it on the monitor.

Hey Philby-

I was giving this topic a lot of thought, and came to realize that one of my favorite albums from the 80's is a great example to point out that you do have a good argument. The album is Ozzy's Speak of the devil - to me it was an amazing album, all sabbath covers done by ozzy with brad gillis (of night ranger!) on guitar (back in the early-mid 80's). What was amazing was how gillis was able to put a nice 80's metal spin on all the guitar parts, make them his own, and really make the music sound up to date, for that time.

I actually prefer to play sabbath songs "gillis" style as opposed to the original recordings. There is certainly merit to making something your own, even to us crazy note-for-note guys. Getting it right is a whole other story.

Being an Ozz music fan. I'm surprised I'd never heard of that album.
