Yeah I am pretty old wolfgang. Not sure from where in Maryland Clutch is from, but they used to have a huge banner behind them of the Maryland "coat of arms", when I've seen them play at the Troc or Electric Factory in Philly. I guess they fit more into the "hardcore" arena of rock, though they're neither Metal nor Hardcore. Very bluesy though, and alot of off-time stuff, which sounds great with their drummer who just sits right in the groove and hammers away. Very cool.

My mp3.com site: mp3.com/dyonisos

Any other AH'ers on mp3.com?

While I can appreciate what they're doing, the guitar players who just display blazing speed and nonstop proof of technical virtuosity in constant search of the "wow" factor are lower on my personal list of good players than the ones who are willing to play at normal speeds for the sake of the music.

There was a great all-acoustic album by Mclaughlin, trying to remember the name. Got it. It's "My Goals Beyond". Worth a listen if you can find a copy. It has some sitar and violin (might Jerry Goodman on violin, not sure), and interesting percussion.

I agree Biggles. For me Rock has stopped being about showcasing some guitar slinger's chops and more about how each instrument interacts with and compliments all of the other instruments, including the vocal instrument. It has also become about trying to find that special new thing in music, because a lot of it has become stale. I hate the radio and its redundancy. The same ten songs over and over. And the record companies are worried about the internet killing their sales. Bah! They should worry about themselves and the direction they push their industry. Sorry, not going to rant. Pullin Chalks!

Naw Wolfgang. I got yer joke. I was just joking about myself there too.
I must say....I am a Rush Nerd. Listen to Exit Stage Left at work almost every day.

Big Rush fan. I went to see them in Saratoga, New York on July 7th (SPAC). I sat/stood/was situated towards the front, and to the left near Alex's amps. It was amazing.

Wlfgng · « **Reply #73 on:** July 30, 2002, 03:05:50 PM »

ok I admit it..
even though Rush's guitar stuff is relatively simple.. I really like Alex's stuff.

it's why I covered them

purley from a guitar player standpoint.. I like playing Rush because Alex plays so 'full'. I can play a rush song on my guitar.. everyone knows it instantly..
some other stuff isn't so recognizeable (just the guitar part) or it takes two or more guitar players to play.

Rush guitar stuff just sounds so fat and I have this great Alex patch on the POD.. pretty close to the 'real thing'

Hey, can I get the settings? I bought POD 2.0 about a month ago and am on the lookout for interesting patches. I've always liked Lifeson's sound. Maybe you could upload it to the POD patch exchange at http://www.line6.com?

POD's are great. I saw 38 Special last month, and they used NO stage amps (except for the bass amp). Just POD's with wireless systems, run directly into the house system. Sounded good. Also, we opened for Blue Oyster Cult back in January, and all of those guitar players had POD's mounted on top of their amps (Crate amps!)
