Sabbath's point was to play music heavier than anything that had come before. Led Zeppelin had no point other than to be as self-indulgent as possible. -Warren —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

I locked this thread for a while because I wanted some cool down time. It is unlocked now. Surfdaddy...how did anyone twist your words? I'm dumbfounded by this comment. Everyone was being polite with you, and then you come along and tell everyone to eat s--t and die. Real nice. That was a totally over the top and uncalled-for response. You are on very thin ice here. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

I don't like jazz or metal but I do like Deep Purple, at least up to Machinehead. Surfdaddy, I doubt that anyone is upset by your opinions but when you phrase it in such a provocative manner you can expect a reaction. I suspect you knew that. Who did the original Hey Joe anyway? It was real fast with a hectic rhythm guitar. |

The Leaves had the first hit. They also did 'too many people' on Nuggets. I'm dismayed by Surfdaddy's consistant provocation. Meds are only excusable so many times, and I recall in the past he promised not to be like this. This is not the type of forum where this attitude is encouraged, there are plenty others that are if that's the style discourse one prefers. Our goal is to have a full range of members from fans to bedroom players to professionals. It's my feeling posts that display this attitude and lack of consideration drives people away. This is especially offensive when directed towards such an esteemed player as Ivan and the guy who started it all - Brian. It's not my decision but if it were, I'd ban him from the site. —Danny Snyder Latest project - Now That's What I Call SURF I'm back playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta |

Haha right, that guy used a quarter...Hey Ivan you said something to the effect that Blackmore primarily used a stock strat, but wasnt he famous for using a scalloped fret board? (Like Ingwie and John Mclaughlin did much later.) |

Very true. I was thinking more in terms of things that would affect the guitar's tone, but you have a point. I'm not sure when Blackmore started scalloping his necks. I think it's possible he played a more or less stock Strat on most DP material, and only started scalloping around the time he started Rainbow. One mod he did do during the DP times was that he had somebody machine him a very heavy, thick trem arm and drill out the trem block so it could fit in there. He used to engage in some unbelievably brutal trem abuse when he first started using a Strat (around '69-'70). But after a few years of that he stopped, and had a stock trem arm on his main Strats ever since. And then in late seventies or early eighties he started using replacement pickups, Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders. I think he also had his tone controls disconnected. Still, all in all, pretty light modifications. Ivan —Ivan |

I read in an interview with Blackmore that an important part of his sound was a reel-to-reel tape deck that he always used as a pre-amp. True? |

Thanks to all the surf bands, past and present. And thanks to all the fans who care about and keep surf music alive.
my band in 68 and 69 played hush and hey joe---both have the exact c-g-d-a-e pattern to em but hush had the thump thump thump to it be fore it went into the na-na-na-na-na-na-na-e thump mess. the na na na part is c-g-d-a-e---the chorus i think. we played hey joe like the astronauts and roy buchanan-----fast like the astros and slow and burning like roy. never touched the hendrix version cause we didn't like it. it just sounds like i had moved to jazz in the early 70's and had no reason to listen to metal. some of yall had continued to follow metal and are into it. i was listening to al dimeola and john mclaughlin and weather report and larry coryell. yall turned one way and i followed my own path. i admire ivan for not following the recipe for success---got guts and your own mind. but i do too and when several people come down on one guy for having his own ideas----i don't care. so sit back and take a few statements out of context and bend it around for your own delight. i've seen this before on this website, its the only bad thing about the site. so, eat s--t and expire. cuz i don't give a f--k.
