It proves that with the right material (and guidance) there are few that can touch Jonsey as a singer. I think if he fronted a rock band he would be right up there as one of the all-time best. He just took the wrong route as far as most of us our concerned. I also have a CD of him backed by New Model Army out of England doing a version of "Gimme Shelter" for a homeless charity. Absolutely killer! I don't think too many people should cover Stones songs, but Tom and company do it a great justice with an edgy, harmonica-driven arrangement. Great stuff. I think his career took a turn for the better when his son took over his management and stripped some of the 'cheese' element from his persona, but a this point too little too late.

My overall favorites as far as lead guitarists go are Jeff Beck, Mike Bloomfield, and Tom Verlaine, but outside of those three, some of my favorite solos are The Electric Eels' "Agitated," Willy Barrett on "Beware of the Flowers (cos I'm Sure they're Gonna Get You)," Kid Thomas' "Wail Baby Wail" and (to tie in with another thread) Richard Thompson on the long live "Tear Stained Letter." In fact, I could probably put Thompson up with Beck, Bloomfield, and Verlaine. Does John Lennon on Yoko's "Why?" count? It's not so much a solo as continuous lead guitar. And for a non-bomp choice, Skeeter Best on Jimmy Rushing's "Russian Lullabye." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 23:54:39 +0100 From: "Jeroen Vedder" Subject: Re: bomp-digest V2002 #8 On 04 Jan 2002 07:46 wrote > Why are music store "Guitar guys" such A-holes?

Not the solo itself as much as that one sustained note...Man, it goes on a long time. Must have been Nigel Tufnel's Les Paul used on that one. The solo on Janis/Big Brother's "Combination Of The Two" I like because it's so ragged and messed up...almost ranks up there with "I Heard Her Call My Name." The Beatles' "Good Morning Good Morning" (played by Paul, actually) is one I've always liked very much. "Heart Of Stone" by The Rolling Stones, that too, particularly the first few seconds of it. Speaking of the Stones, I also like the "Time Is On My Side" style solo on "Sometimes" by Paul Revere and the Raiders. In fact, one of my own recordings has a solo directly inspired by that Raiders solo. ("Love Help Me" at mp3.com/michaellynch if you so desire.) On the long version of Tommy James and The Shondells' "Crimson and Clover," I like the guitar solos, but I think I just dig the sound of the guitars themselves than what's actually being played. (TJ and the S often had some nice guitar sounds...stuff like "Baby Let Me Down" and "Baby Baby I Can't Take It No More" have some good twangy bits...sounds like Fenders...that always are candy to my ears, and the tremolo he used on a lot of 1968/69 tracks always was a nice touch. And of course, the "Hanky Panky" solo is in its own special category. :>) I couldn't care less about speed as far as guitar solos go. The only times in rock that I've liked records because of how fast the lead guitar player was were "Leave My Kitten Alone" by The First Gear and "Valleri" by The Monkees. (I specify "in rock" because speed of course is a big part of flamenco guitar playing, which I enjoy listening to). But I'm much more impressed with the solo in "You Really Got Me" than I am with anything Steve Vai or Eddie Van Headache can do. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2002 18:56:32 -0500 From: Rat Pfink Subject: Re: favorite guitar solos/Tom Jones Wasn't that also Big Jim Sullivan?

I've been watching this thread play out with some interest....since I've been on "both sides" of that counter.....and I have an observation or two: Places that sell musical instruments attract EXACTLY the same kind of salespeople as record stores.....a subject which we discussed recently here......there are basically only TWO groups: 1) The ones that are so sincerely passionate in their love for the stuff they sell, that they will move heaven and earth to try and help you become as expert as they; 2) The holier-than-thou dirtbag who thinks he can impress you by making you feel like a piece of shit. He might do this by showing you how much more he KNOWS than you know; he might do it by showing how much better TASTE he has in music than you do; he might do it by showing you how much more ARCANE his taste is than yours; or he may simply act like you're not worthy to clean his teeth, much less shop in "his" store. And no matter how many thousands of dollars you spend in "his" store, you'll never have as good a guitar as the one HE has at home, which he will take great pains to tell you about, and also make a big point of telling you either how he paid $30,000 for it, or got it for 30 bucks from a crackhead. Which one was I? Uh, to be honest, BOTH.....depending on my mood.....but I like to think I tended towards number one..... Here's the thing, though. Guitar-store guys have to endure an awful lot of horrid noise. The scene in "Wayne's World" where the salesman points to the sign that says "NO Stairway [to Heaven]" --that's no joke. When I was doing it, in 1979-81, when some kid asked to try a guitar, it was ALWAYS going to be Stairway, Smoke On The Water, Cat Scratch Fever, or Sultans Of Swing. Maybe once in awhile, some attempted-mustache little weeny would pull off a few nascent VanHalenisms, and then look up at us expectantly, waiting for the hosannas. Gimme a break. We used to YEARN for some kid to come in and thrash away at "Blitzkrieg Bop," and it never happened. Not till a couple of years later when I was already out of it. So, I guess my point is, like Astroboy said, << Most of my friends who work in music stores are actually pretty humble. They don't play to show off, unless they're assisting some 'metal guitar-god wanna-be with an attitude' who needs the wind knocked out of their sails. Just wanted to add that. >> There are good and bad examples of humanity behind the counter. There are also good and bad examples of humanity on the OTHER side of the counter!

More that I like: Amboy Dukes' "Baby Please Don't Go." I always reach for the volume when the solo starts on that one. "Child In Time" from Deep Purple In Rock, love Blackmore's staccato attack (reminds me of "Taxman," I don't know why) at the beginning of the solo. Let's see... uh the solo at the end of "Generation Landslide," by Alice Cooper, Earl Slick's riffing on "Width of a Circle," from Bowie's OOP David Live LP, I'll avoid Zappa cuz there's just too many ("Dental Floss"), "Bullfrog Blues" from Rory Gallagher Europe '72, Grand Funk's "Footstompin' Music" has a decent one, "Babylon" from Frank Marino has several... Rare Earth (I Know) I'm Losing You," I can't think now, I'm still drink my afternoon coffee ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 23:26:28 EST From: Moparlary@aol.com Subject: Re: jeroen ramone Funny you mention it because I heard "What a Wonderful World" in the car on the way home from work .(on commercial rock radio no less!) For those who haven't heard it, Joey gives the Louie Armstrong "hit" the full Ramones treatment ala "Acid Eaters." ground breaking, no.

At Izzy's, Monster is one of the most popular used CDs. Others?

Guitar solos? I like 'em short'n'sweet, so here are a few of my faves: "I Need You" - the Kinks "Rise Above" - Black Flag "Cheesecake" - the Devil Dogs "Just Head" - Teengenerate "Roll Over Beethoven" - the Sonics "Sympathy For the Devil" - the Rolling Stones (not so short, but it's one of Keith's best!) I also say "Amen!" in response to whoever voted for James Williamson for every note he played on the Raw Power LP! People like to talk a lot of shit about him, and I don't know whether he was worth a fuck as a human being or not, but I don't think anybody can deny that he was an amazing guitar player!
