Anyone else listening to this record? Holy crap it rawks.
Finally, a new band that I can get excited about.
(http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2005/10/27/Wolfmother.jpg)

Agreed.
-
I've seen these guys a few times a couple of years ago, before they got so big.
They're a great live band, it was a very entertaining show.
They're much softer than the music i usually listen to, but they're a good Australian band.
They're songs are good for drunken party jamming.
:aok
-
yep, good stuff. :)
-
Disagree. I cringe any time anything they've done comes on the radio. Thank god I hardly ever listen to the radio anymore.

overrated...a Zeppelin cover band at best...
Tronsky

Never heard of them. Will check them out.
KZPS ROCKS! :D

Yeah, they're definately not anything original.

what genre of music is it?
goth?
metal?
blues?
alternative?

Inclined to agree. the band itself sounds ok. I can hear infulences of several other bands
Not real impressed with the vocalist. Just somethign about it that just doesnt quite fit right
Still overall better then about 90% of anything I've heard recently
Doesnt sound like hes trying to scream through a tracheotomy or trying to sing as though he just gargled with battery acid which is how alot of these copycat bands sound these days
But then again it doesnt take a whole lot of talent to scream does it?
Not a great band. but not totally terrible either
Listen for yourself

Wolfmother ripped off Led Zeppelin just as much as Led Zeppelin ripped off The Who.

Wow...usually you and I agree on music, but I gotta say I see no relation with Zeppelin and the Who. I love both, but they are not very similar IMO. If Page took anything from anyone's book, I'd say it was Cream. I'd say Page had LOTS of influences before he formed Zeppelin, The Who would be on the list maybe, but way far down that list.
Also, let me say this, I said Page had lots of influences before he formed Zep, and I think there were many greats before them. But he took all those little things and turned it into something else. To me, Led Zeppelin is "perfect" Rock and Roll. They are still evident in anything you hear today. So to say they are Led Zeppelin ripoffs is unfair. I think everyne that came after them has ripped them off in some way or another. I honestly think music CANNOT get "better" than the mighty Zep.

I had never heard of this band since I mostly listen to XM radio ch 40,46,49. I had pretty much given up on what people call "rock". I'm impressed with this band and their influence is clearly from the rock that I love. welcome wolfmother, may you succeed and inspire others, hold the torch aloft maybe more will return to the fold. thanks for heading away from the hip-hop influenced crap some people consider good.

I used to say the same thing and I like both bands. But listen to the soundtrack to The Song Remains the Same, and listen to Live at Leeds. You could listen to either, and they both sound alike. I was blown away at the blatantly similarity.
I wasn't trashing Zeppelin, just merely pointing out that if "we now judge bands on who they ripped off", give credit where credit is somewhat due. Without influences, music would be sterile, and sound like complete and utter chit. The Beatles showed The Who the edge, Led Zeppelin merely took it to the next level.
When the band "Badfinger" is mentioned, not 10 seconds goes by before you hear "they were Beatles ripoffs". But, listen to No Dice or Straight up and you will see they had the same influence in the use of harmonies, but that is where the similarities end.

Ahhhh, someone gets it.
What I hear in Wolfmother is Deep Purple/Black Sabbath when both were at their prime. I do miss hearing a Hammond B3 in music.

I used to like karaya, or at least in the sense I didn't dis-like his thoughts, and so on....

dude you hold them on some kind of pedestal that is just irrational to me.
my entire life listening to music, and playing music, and I think generally being open to alot of things, have never once understood a pink floyd fan.
the only fans I have ever known were pot smoking hippie "wannabes" and went all "ohh and ahh" to psuedo psychedelic sounds and arrangements.
other than their influence on the drug culture from 1967 and after, I don't think I will ever see what they have done musically.
yes they made "trippy" music, that meandered around a soundscape, but nothing that ever amazed me in arrangement, or tonality.
everyone has different tastes in what they like to hear, and even scientifically it is shown some people prefer certain sounds and notes. maybe that's just it, but I seriously can't name one pink song I can enjoy listening to, except "run like hell" every once in a blue moon.
all it ever reminds me of is hippy wannabes from my teenage years going ooh and ahh while stoned, and me not wanting to do drugs, and just generally not liking music with random changes in feel, tempo, sound, and rhythm.
"progressive" jazz and all other forms similar I have and never will enjoy or appreciate. even at 1 year of guitar lessons, I could make music like it, basically it all sounds like a bunch of guys doing whatever they feel like with no relation to the rest of the band (that is a generalization of jazz-fusion and similar styles) even after learning some music theory, and looking at the arrangements of said styles and examples, I can find no reason why note "x" is played at a certain time other than it is the most dissonant sounding note possible.
that goes along with the synth and guitar sounds. If making funky and odd sounding notes is talent, give you're local music shop a stop, and buy random effects, then have a random 15 year old emo kid plug in, and have him wail while turning the knobs in random order.
fi that is talent, and considered groundbreaking, I guess I am missing something. anyone can do those type of sounds and mix them together.
if there is some hidden meaning or something, I have never listened to floyd high, and never will.
sorry for the rant, but honestly in this world I have never personally met anyone who loves floyd that wasn't a total stoner in HS, and now they listen to it to remember the "good old days"

"

"pushing the boundries" is a good way of hiding a complete lack of talent.
floyd...apparently i've listened to an entire album more than once. the problem is, i never realized anything was playing...slightly better than ACDC - all they do is hurt my ears.

Listen to the album "Animals"...I think you would change your POV. If you have already pay no attention, but your attitude toward Floyd seems like a "surface perception". The stuff you hear on the radio is just that "surface".

just listened to the CD again. I think I'll email XM and find out why these guys aren't on the rotation. I'm going to order their CD as well. good stuff thanks for posting this diablo they are getting airplay on XM47 & 54 amongst other channels. I guess I'll be tuning in to 47 one day per week.

Ditto, it is the ones who "assume" they are drug oriented that haven't a clue about Pink Floyd. I'll never understand the "branding" of it. If you don't like Pink Floyd, you'll say that sort of stuff.
FWIW 73, I'm 33 and have ALWAYS enjoyed listening to Classic Rock as far back as I can remember. I recall being 5 years old and having my brother put on Quadrophenia, Diamond Dogs, Sticky Fingers, etc. at my request. I'm sorry but the majority of today's music sucks arse. I'll check out Wolfmother, because Diablo and I have similar tastes in music. I liked the White Stripes before they sold out and became a household name (Jack lived 15 minutes from me).

No 15 year old kid can replicate Gilmour easily. Sure you can buy a strat, and and amp. You can try and find 1/2 of his rig (most of his rig is hard to find). But what separates him further is his Bass PreAmp, and HiWatt amps. Most "15 year olds" cannot afford a $2,500 HiWatt, or the $1,000 Preamp. David Gilmour's use of toggling between "finger vibrato and then using the tremolo" is unique. Even he doesn't understand where he got that from.
Eric Clapton when playing with Roger Waters on the Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking Tour was getting pissed off during rehearsals. During Another Brick in the Wall Part 2, Eric Clapton (some say he is "God") got angry during the last solo of the song. He slammed his amp off, and stomped "How in the f**k does he do it?!!!!" Roger said "What?" "How in the F**K can he bend that note a full Octave?!" "I've broken 3 strings trying to do it." He played the solo his own way from that point on. FWIW, I can only think 3 guitarists that can bend a "full octave" and not break a string, and two of them are dead.
Which brings me to my last point. Not a single 15 year old can "bend" notes like he can. Gilmour plays with a ton of emotion but makes it look so easy. He's never been flashy but is a damn good role model to follow for a rock star. After Live 8, Pink Floyd's Echoes sales skyrocketed almost 1400%, and he donated his royalties to the Live 8 fund, after he did, everyone else did.
Grab Meddle and Wish You Were Here from Pink Floyd. Echoes is worth the price of Meddle alone.
Finally, Dave Mustaine himself said of Gilmour: "David Gilmour can do more with one note than most guitarists can do with the entire fretboard."

You can't really judge a band until you hear their B sides.

I've never considered Zeppelin to be copying The Who. That being said they copied just about every delta blues muscian under the sun. Look @ some of the old blues records and you see Zeppelin's song on them. Whole Lotta Love was a complete rip off. That being said I love to sit down and listen to a Zep album. :)
-
If your truly a Zep fan you should also listen to Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf and Lightnin' Hopkins.
-
I listen to LeadBelly and Willie Dixon. Zeppelin's only good Dixon tunes out of the one's the did, was Bring It On Home.
All bands have influences. Whether it be Eddie Cochrane, Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, The Beatles, Elvis, The Who, Stones, etc.

Hey Masher, don't mean to call you out but it's physically impossible to bend a guitar string a full octave. That's like taking an open string and bending it to the tone at the 12th fret, or 12 semi-tones. A typical bend is 3 - 5 semi-tones (or 3 - 5 frets). But 12 is impossible if we are saying that the fretted and picked note at a given fret is still the same position at the end of the bend. I'm not quite sure what Clapton meant but Gilmour is the master of control of a guitar, especially one as hard to play as a Strat is.
{EDIT} Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 has one of my favorite solo's of all time. A classic.

|-x------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is probably what Clapton had problems with. The bend up to the 17th fret tone (4 semi-tones), then up to the 18th fret tone (5 semi-tones), then back DOWN to the 15th (or 2 semi-tones). I can't speak for other guitarists but I'd have a real difficult time bending up to and down to the proper tones. I am sure there are some on this BBS that can, not me.
-
even a 5 fret semi-tone bend is a feat thats 2 1/2 whole notes, or on a piano bending a C all the way to an F
most bends you see and hear in guitar are 2-3 semi-tones or 1 whole note to 1 1/2 whole note, though quite often in music like something steve vai may play (or the like) you will hear a 2 whole note bend.
but karaya, he's right it is physically impossible to bend a note 12 steps. the closest I have heard was dimebag darrell do a whammy bar bend of a harmonic at the 3rd fret, and that high pitched of a note it is hard to accurately say if it went close to an octave. (the said note in question can be heard in "Cemetery Gates" and approx 6:41 in the song.

Most of us that were playing the Dallas circuit in those days all had Floyds with the body underneath it routed out so you could pull up anywhere from a 5th to an octave, depending on the body and who did the routing.

That's true for Floyd's and whammy bends but we're talking bends with the frethand, ala Gilmour in this solo.

just so others aren't confused with the name "Floyd" I assume you are talking about a "Floyd Rose" tremolo bar, no relation to Pink Floyd the band
from wikipedia:
# It offers a wide range in the vibrato effect. The standard models may bend notes 3-4 semitones down and 2-3 semitones up. Customised variants of the Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo are able to bend notes as far as 8 semitones down and 5 semitones up.
though I know what you are talking about routing the body... but I find it difficult to believe the note could go up a full 12 semi-tones, as the strings would be lowered so much as to hit the bridge as seen in this image sort of as figure III.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Floyd_rose_principle.png
-
That wiki entry is incorrect. A standard Floyd and many other trem designs can lower pitch much more than 3-4 semitones. They'll lower it to the point where the string tension is such that they'll no longer produce a note and attach themselves to the pick-up pole pieces. Too lazy to dig my gear out to test it but I'd wager its more than an octave.
As for the solo in ABITW Pt2, I just listened to it twice and I didn't hear any bends that even approached an octave. I think Diablo's explanation a few posts back is probably on the money. I thought of a couple ways to achieve the effect of an extreme string bend though. One way would be to start the bend then gliss up a few frets and continue to increase string deflection. If you were smooth enough I think it would produce the desired effect. Another would be to depress the trem before picking the note and slowly releasing it, then bending with the fret hand once the trem is neutral. If Gilmour used the latter method or something similar that may explain why Clapton had trouble with it. He has the trem on his strats blocked off. On the subject of Clapton and string bending, check out the solo on Bad Love from the Journeyman album...some sick bends on that one.

I've read in a couple magazine articles that he can bend a note a full octave and is one of a few guitarists that can do it. When we get a printer/scanner, I'll see if I can find the old mags laying around.
Also, on ABITW Part 2, Gilmour used a Les Paul, not a Strat.
I'm not a guitarist, I drummed for 14 years. But all I was saying that any "15 year old kid", won't even come close to Gilmour, Clapton, Hendrix, Stevie Ray, Townshend. But Gilmour as Diablo, has more "control" than any other guitarist out there.
They are my fav. band, right behind them are Queen, The Who, Zeppelin, Old Elton John, Beatles, Stones (up to Some Girls), T Rex. I was born in the wrong generation. I haven't touched weed in 12 years, 1995 was the last toke.

floyd's music is far too techincal to played under the influence of anything but passion for the music and an almost obsessive dedication to perfection. the music is mind boggling and far ahead of it's time. the band is pure genious in action. drug influenced, I don't think so. 15 year old perform it as well, maybe a 15 year old idiot savant.

You can't have Floyd without Dave's voice and guitar, at least not to me.
I am a fan of Roger's and Dave's solo stuff, too. Dave's first solo album is the one I put on if I want to mellow. Mihalis is a great song to just chill out to.

I had absolutely no idea that was a P-90 Les Paul on that solo. Gotta love single coil pickups.

Nice. You got the "Remastered versions" of his first two Solo albums last year right? If not, they really ARE worth getting. All of the Tape Hiss is gone. If you don't, pass on the old ones to a buddy. and buy the two remasters, you will not regret it.

I had absolutely no idea that was a P-90 Les Paul on that solo. Gotta love single coil pickups.
That's why most laugh when I say he's the greatest alive.
More useless trivia. The guitar he used on "David Gilmour" was the "No 001 Strat". It was originally given to a Fender employee in 54. A few years later, it was sold to legendary pickup guru Seymour Duncan. Seymour sold it to David Gilmour’s guitar tech, Phil Taylor in 1977. Eighteen months later, Gilmour pursuaded Phil to part with it for an undisclosed (i.e. enormous) sum.
He also used this "001 Strat" on the rhythm portions of ABITW part 2.
You can see it being used in the "2004 Strat Pack" which he headlined. He used it on Marooned, Coming Back to Life and Sorrow. Some say it "dropped notes" at times, I think it sounded great.

Yep. When Karaya posted that I listened to it again and thought "no way that is a humbucker equipped guitar...it quacks too much". I was getting ready to come back in here and call him a liar but decided to look around a little and lo and behold I find a pic of Gilmour playing the P-90 goldtop. Never would have guessed it.
