Klas Yeah, it would have been great seeing Richie Podolor in there! Yes, him, too! That guy could SHRED with the best of them! (Just last week I bought the CD "Crucible" by Halford - Judas Priest's singer's Rob Halford's side band, VERY heavy metal - and as I was driving to Cleveland I took a quick look at the credits. Credited as producer of one track - Ritchie Podolor!!! See, heavy metal, surf, it's all the same.... ) Oh, you meant Blackmore... but... but... but I thought he played a Gibson!? True - if your musical history ends in 1970. Which sounds like someone we know, right? The Guitar Player mag just sent their new edition of GP2 (their online version of the magazine), and there was a reprint of a lengthy story from 1999 celebrating the great Strat players, including Dick, Hank and Ritchie (B.!).

elreydlp Joined: Sep 04, 2009 Posts: 1800 Temecula, CA	Posted on Oct 07 2010 01:57 PM My freshman year in college, my roomate was a bass player and had a Cherry Red Gibson EB-2. We argued over the superiority of Gibson/Fender constantly with me citing all the great Strat players. His best comeback was always Clapton (who I loved) who was with Cream at the time and playing the SG and 335. Imagine my glee, a few years later when I saw "Brownie" on the back cover of "Derek and the Dominoes". Strats rule! Top
IvanP Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 10331 southern Michigan	Posted on Oct 07 2010 06:24 PM Klas IvanP See, heavy metal, surf, it's all the same.... Yeah, surf music and heavy metal is the same thing. No? Both genres: almost always all guys, almost completely guitar-dominated, played very loudly with a lot of notes and often at very rapid tempos, often dressed in matching outfits, often sporting matching guitars, often having choreographed moves - which usually involve waving the guitars about, and of course, let's not forget the hyperactive drummers - at least the ones that get a lot of respect in both genres. Eddie Bertrand went on to play hard rock and heavy metal in the '80s and '90s; Dick Dale proclaimed himself the father of heavy metal (and certainly dressed like a metalhead for much of the past 20 years); the Chantays added a full-blown metal guitarist to replace their keyboard player in the '90s; Randy Holden played proto-metal in the '70s'; Ritchie Podolor became a highly respected metal producer. John Blair was listening to a lot of Metallica in the late '90s, trying to figure out how to incorporate some of that sound into surf music. Certainly many of the guys that started this stuff way back when saw the connections. So, what's the difference exactly? — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top
Ruhar Joined: Jun 21, 2007 Posts: 3909 San Diego, CA	Posted on Oct 07 2010 06:40 PM Thanks for the link Ivan. Good to see Rory Gallagher included. Dick Dale If you want punch, power, and the driving force of rock and roll, then you've got to play a Stratocaster I won't argue with that IvanP So, what's the difference exactly?

Do you actually think that any of those above didn't become severly less good after they got into heavy metal compared to what they were like during the first wave era when heavy metal didn't exist?

Imagine my glee, a few years later when I saw "Brownie" on the back cover of "Derek and the Dominoes". Strats rule! Gibsons are infinitely superior, in make, but the sound of the Strat has a unique timbre that has really defined a generation of "guitar rock". So, if a guitar can produce musical notes, then you can make great music with it, and that is what the Strat did/does. Top
