It's not always about playing at 1,000,000 mph. Funnily enough, despite PG's well-deserved god-like status, a lot of famous early FM guitar parts are played by Danny Kirwan. Oh Well, for starters.
Far from it, hence my comment about the 'sound' of the guitar not how quickly or otherwise it's being played.
Do pay attention Pike...
I am generally not a fan of guitar solos and needless guitar wankery in particular.
The hammer on/pull off widdly stuff is actually pretty easy to learn even for ham fisted bass player like me.
It is ALL about the sound and melody and feel is much more important.
There are loads that I love and most are about the feel. Mind you the first time I heard Eruption...
Then you get this:
Likewise. There are many bluffers who hideously overuse flashy techniques such as hammer-ons, tapping and pinch harmonics to try to dazzle the audience.
Accurate use of string skipping and clean sweep picking are much harder to do. Most impressive if you are able to use these techniques skillfully, and then only use them REALLY occasionally and appropriately.
I have to say, like him as I do, if that is 'THE' guitar on that track, I really don't think it sounds anything special.

Yeah we know you like it.
87 separate listens of this album means 87 separate posts on here.
its just spamming up the board
.
Disagree fella.
Spamming up the board is complaining about a user posting the title of the album they're listening to now, on a thread titled 'What if anything are you listening to now', without actually mentioning what YOU are listening to now.
A pointless post, as you've imparted absolutely no information on what you're listening to now.
Anyway

Just stumbled across No one is innocent by the Sex Pistols and Ronnie Biggs. God that brings back memories of my misspent mid teenage years!

I remember seeing Simple Minds at the Marquee in 1980-ish on the nack of hering Changeling on the John Peel show. They were bloody good - effects heavy guitar backed up by a wall of sequenced synth noise and pounding Krautrocky rhythm.
Not such a fan their more poppy stuff but I guess that is what made the band survive for so long.

Go's against the grain, but still think their set at Live Aid was the mutts nuts.
No easy feat when you're up against both Queen and U2, who were also blinding
I loved them, they lost a lot when the keyboard player Mick left but good to see they're still touring

Bit sad that both Fish and Marillion are in the process of hanging it up.
I understand Fish has actually permanently closed his webstore. Impressive gesture, turning up the chance to continue to flog merch for years to come.
Hi. People are now listing Fish merchandise on eBay for ridiculous prices. Whilst not illegal, it is morally dubious. Obviously not fans of the artist, they snap these things up just to flog at a big profit. Some people are doing the same with the limited edition 2CD version of the new Mostly Autumn album.
It's just a perception that items will become rare and more valuable I suppose. I understand something similar is happening with Jaguar cars after their announcement that they are going all electric.
