That's not really synths anyway, just your basic Farfisa(?) organ.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

OK, must be that echoey thing that follows his vocal.

Right now I'm hooked on an oldie but goodie. Some list of guitar solos I read once said, "if you can't sing it, it's not one of the greats" or words to that effect. I never much cared for that whole "Eruption" thing, that technique over soul thing that every modern metal guitarist now does to overkill. I like guitar solos with melody, solos you can sing.

This is one of my favorites. Not tremendously difficult, or technical, but the choices he makes in notes, tone, timing, and just the overall creativity of such beautiful melodic solos just blows me away. And you can sing every one of them. Three solos for the price of one.

The thing with Eruption....he was SO young, and it was one of the first, if not the first HOLYSH* WTeFF IS THAT guitar songs (longer than a solo, for a "designation" if you will). And of course it got overdone. Why? Because everyone in the world tried to copy it. Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen owe their careers to Eruption.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Eruption was as much an introduction to VH (and Eddie himself) as it was a solo and is a great segue into You Really Got Me. The two-handed tapping and classical cadence toward the latter part of the song are no easy feat. There's a reason it's often regarded as one of the greatest solos of all time. There are plenty of others out there of all shapes and sizes (Robin Trower has many of my favorites) and I don't limit myself to a particular bucket.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

I love Eruption because it is classical music that happens to be played on an electric guitar with distortion. You can hear things a lot like it listening to fugues written for organs centuries ago.

Wu-Tang Clan: "Triumph"

This was my first exposure to the Wu-Tang Clan. And since I have a race on Sunday, this song is on my training playlist.

So was I. My first exposure to anything but classical and crap like John Denver was when I was about 9 years old. Hello, Twisted Sister and Quiet Riot! Rap? About 2-3 years later.

My first exposure to rap was LL Cool J's "Around The Way Girl" at about 10. My brother and I had to sneak to watch MTV, back when they played music videos.

Had an, "aha" moment and realized that aside from the USB and AUX inputs to my car radio I can stream iHeart from the phone via Bluetooth. Taking a 1-hour road trip today to Subic and looking forward to playing my Favorites.
