It Might Get Loud NWB Version

Posted By : The Dean Casement Trio | Comments : 26

Read on as I am ill and need to occupy my mind.


Right I'm ill with the flu, got no gigs 'til Sunday, picked my new amp up yesterday tried it briefly but I'm too ill to find a gig to go play it at or be arsed goin' to a jam... All I have I this fuckin' laptop so anyway...

I bought the DVD 'It Might Get Loud' last week for those of you who haven’t seen it, it is Jack White, The Edge and Jimmy Page sat around talking to each other about there playing styles, sounds, guitars, how certain songs evolved... It gives a load of back ground into the players also, shows them at home, who influenced them, trials and tribulations... It's a great watch and shows three generations of guitar brilliantly.

Anyway... If you could have your on version of 'It Might Get Loud' basically the opportunity to sit down for an evening with 3 guitar rigs (yours, x and y), to sit down pick there brains, ask what you've always wanted to ask, doesn't have to be just guitar players I suppose... can be singers, drummers, keyboarders, bass players...

List your players and why.

Mine are...

Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Mayer
Bein' a massive Hendrix fan Stevie Ray always seemed to me to take what Hendrix did and push it that little bit harder the whole thing around Stevie seemed really intense - John Mayer is influenced heavily by Stevie Ray but there is a whole different side of Mayer his song writing, acoustic playing and he's a very, very clever bloke indeed. He's also shagged a good few supermodels, actresses and pop stars I'd love to hear about that too...!!!

For me it would have to Randy Rhoades - 1st guitarist I listened to as opposed to "the whole song", just think everything he did was really thought out and not off the cuff. At the other extreme, cos i'd want a contrast, preferably a wildman to get the party up to the next level, so it was a toss up between Chris Holmes - but he's dry now, somebody from Crue (could ask Mick Mars the secret of eternal youth; he's now older than Yoda) but i think I'd go for Kieth Richards. I'm not even a big stones fan but hes been massively famous with bugger all and massively famous with all the trappings, must have a story or ten!!

And for me it would have to be Pamela Anderson who I believe plays a recorder and Megan Fox who also did some recorder at school.... oh and a bath full of baked beanz

I think you'll find Rob that the list was bass, drums, keyboarders and guitar players... NOT recorderers...!!!

However if we're playing that game my version of 'It Will Get Hard' includes Holly Willoughby and Carmen Electra blowing on my pink Oboe while I get well and truely aquainted with there Bongos.

Cool post.

Gotta be Billy Gibbons and Angus Young for me. Then a toss up prob between Lyndsey Buckingham, Rick Parfitt, John Mayer, Alex Skolnick and Jeff Hanneman.

John Mayer I love his relaxed vibe but he seems like a smarmy twat. Like he may ooze and drip some greasy fluid over me, so I'd probably leave him out.

Billy and Angus can do more with one note than most can with a whole arsenal of scales and tricks. I'd love a section of the video were they routine humiliate Clapton with their solos for his 1'4'5, blues by numbers, I'm so great I could do this whilst sitting on the bog type approach.

Skolnick for technique purely. Hanneman for sheer attitude and his love of Heineken. Parfitt cos the man is a machine. Creatively Buckingham is probably my fave.

In fact I'd leave Angus out as he doesn't drink much apparently.
Maybe just a video of Gibbons, Parfitt and Hanneman in the pub and I'd be the happiest bloke ever.

Despite the fact I cant fucking stand Angus Young or anything to do with AC/DC, I like where your goin' with it. Lyndsey Buckingham forgot about him, he is indeed fairly genius... Could be tempted to invite the greatest singer of all time in my opinion Mr Steven Tyler to join in the party.

Also Clapton is so great he could do it on the bog... Love him, one of the greatest, most understated pieces of guitar work I think is Eric Clapton playing 'Mr Bluesman' on Richie Samboras first solo album 'Stranger In This Town' just blows me away every time..... Fancy swappin Charlize Theronn for Scarlette Johanssen with me?

For me it would have to be Ritchie Blackmnore - spent my youth locked in my room trying to unlock the secrets of his playing. never really succeeded. His alternate picking is the best I have ever seen. Also he like to punch the odd reporter apparently which is never a bad thing. That added to the fact he stuck to the strat sound when all around him in that genre were using Les Paul's, Flying Vs and superstrats etc. He always had that different and melodic sound

Second would be Michael Shenker just to ask him where it all went wrong :-| After recording Rock bottom at the tender age of 18 to being pissed and playing out of tune not too long ago. All that talent going to waste. Just watch the solo's from the early live versions of Rock bottom and lights out on YouTube, absolutely stunning

Third would have to be Dave Gilmour. The tone master. His solo's and sound almost bring tears to my eyes at times and his lap steel solo's are brilliant. I would kill for his tone and technique

I may be tempted to swap one of the birds for Dave Grohl foo fighters chap, He's worked with everyone and it would be interesting to see how Nirvana were when they started............ naa he can piss off get Carmen Electra back in the bath with Pam and toot the purple oboe girls

Just because I'd bang anythin with a pulse and would shag the crack of dawn if I was up early enough.... Doesn't mean to say I'm a perv.

Which brings me on to my next point I'm actually feeling rather alert and chipper now. So, do I fuck it and go to The Towler watch some Thin Lizzy band or other and pull a munter or do I stay in...???

Oh aye Charlize is a leggy goodun but gotta keep Scarlett for her lips, she's a fine lass.

What I mean is Clapton is good enough to play it on the bog but he looks as if he is. He look totally disengaged with a faraway look in his eyes, almost as if he's thinking about what to have for his tea.
I'm not really a fan of the more trad blues arrangement 12 bar with a turnaround so I'm prob biased. I tend to like stuff sounds primitive but if you delve in it isn't, hence Angus and Gibbons.

I quite like Clapton's 80's period more than his blues stuff. I find I like his voice more than his playing generally. Just a boring, trapped in my own rectum opinion of mine I know.
