The DOUBLE STANDARD

[Endrik]

everyone plays their instrument and writes tunes because of the music, that's a fucking GIVE IN.

But when you have the chance to bang the hottest chicks, earn shit loads of money etc. and someone says he doesn't care about these things.... this is fucking bullshit to the highest degree.

[xenophobe]

Sorry,from Fistful of Metal on to today,they still kick ass,and were NOTHING like the hair band posers of the day,there is no comparison.....it's not even close.

I've been a fan of Anthrax when Fistful first came out, and bought each album as they were released. By the time Spreading the Disease came out, there were in every monthly metal mag posing just like everyone else.

How old are you, like 10?

Actually I wasn't a little boy in those days,so yeah....

And none of those bands you mentioned are posers by definition where I was at in those days,examples would be :

Poison
Winger
Warrant,etc...

The bands who poofed their lips,wore girls makeup,neon clothes,etc and played love songs and sang about Cherry Pie and other stupid shit lol.

So,to me,no Anthrax is not even close to being a poser band.

[Snoogans]

Hang on, I love Anthrax as much as anyone here ('cept maybe Em), and I gotta agree with Xeno here. Those guys were everywhere. Big hair, bright colours (shorts mainly!), cheesy grins, trendy pointy guitars.....
Granted, they weren't taking it as seriously as the others, but they certainly put it about.
Damn, those was great times!

[lerxstcat]

but Endrik will tell you that the only reason any of us here picked up guitar in the first place was to chase pussy....and if you say you didn't, you're lying

I didn't take up guitar to chase pussy!

I took up guitar so pussy would chase ME!!

[Endrik]

you are absolutely right Rich

That... is horrible. Pentatonic box over, and over, and over, again?

Marks for enthusiasm though.

But still horrible. I rather doubt she will be in Guitar Player. Plus, "Rhodes"? Sigh.

That other girl doing the Rhoads and Gilbert covers is about 10000 times better, and she's 16.

[Sukisyn]

I agree ... Chelsea (I think that is her name) should be in a mag before this one...

Not bad for 14. Though, it sounded more akin to Angus Young than Randy Rhoads.

[lerxstcat]

Over at Sludge there was a 15-year-old girl who posted a clip of her playing the solo from Hot For Teacher, asking for tips. She was kinda sloppy and missing some nuances but she basically had all the phrases of the solo, just needed to clean it up and get the subtleties. she says she only started playingt in November, but already has a Strat and a Les Paul Studio, so her folks must be generous.

She posted the clip, and got a bunch of compliments and advice like I said above, just play it a few hundred times and dial it in. Then she pulled the video because I guess it embarrassed her. Teenagers.....

well ... I did not really want to revive this thread but for those that said Guitar Player Magazine would not do an interview with this girl I just received my July issue and sure enough she was interviewed...

just a few facts from the interview.

- started play at 2 and a half using a half size Lotus
- at 5 she was playing a full size '83 Ibanez roadster
- practices 4-6 hours a day
- Satriani 's style is her favorite
- listens mainly to Hendrix, the Allman Brothers, Reba
- owns 13 guitars
- main axe is Schecter C-1 Plus
- main amp is Vox Valvetronix
- uses .010 -.046 D'Addario strings and .88 Dunlop Tortex picks
- she has her owe studio at her parents house

oh, and for those of you looking to take lessons, she is a teacher...

I have never met a woman, in real life, that could play guitar. Not even a simple three chorder. I don't know the reason for this, although there is a certain difference in male and female musicians. The Vienna Orchestra, for example, says that they think women can no play as well as men, for which they've gotten a lot of criticism. I'm inclined to agree with this statement, though. Only on Piano have I ever heard a better female than male musician and they often lack a true legato technique, but they can put more feeling into a larghetto by Chopin, for instance, than any man I've ever heard it play. And I'm sure it's their emotional brain that gives them this advantage, whereas men have a much more logical brain, which would make a technical affair such as shreddery perhaps more of a second nature.

But for guitar? Chicks aren't just upto scratch (yet).

And sorry, 14 or not, female or not, that "Randy Rhodes" tribute was dreadfully sickening, if that is the climax of her playing since 2.5 yrs old, she must have little to average musical talent.
