This dude has a fucking jokes name.




WEINERS WORLD. EXCELLENT!

That pedal is wonky as hell. I want it. It gets that kind of dissonance I love when playing with harmonics and such.

Also, my brother had to see a Dr. Weiner once.

In urology.

Cool guitarist. But I bet he got hell back in high school.

he's a fucking terrible guitar player

I thought you were talking about the guy in the Killers, and I was going to pooh pooh that remark.

Because say what you want about his band, the guy can play - Mister Brightside is full of stretches and chord arpeggios I can barely play.

But you were talking about some other dude, so ignore me.

He lost me at 'very unique'.

typical ibanez/horrible over distorted trebley tone from the 80s player, technically competent(ish) but creatively void.

That's true. For all I know, Coldplay could also have complicated songs, as could U2. The difference is that although I love playing guitar, and I love some music for the guitar parts, things really do have to work as a whole. And one of the reasons I didn't know Killers stuff was in any way complicated to play was because they're shit. So I've never tried.

I don't really care how difficult something is to play. I care about music.

+1 difference between being a musician and a guitar player

I think the guitar part to Mister Brightside is great music. I like that song - sue me.

it also happens to be fucking dice to play.

The first killers album was a decent one, but everything they made after that....

That's how I feel, I pretty much hate everything else they've ever done, but the first record has about 5 great songs on it.

My gf's bro was a big Killers fan and (alledgedly) he has a demo copy of Hot Fuss that's quite different from the one that made them famous. A lot less polished and synthy, apparently it sounds ace.

I realise this sounds very much like bullshit but I must ask him to dig it out next time I'm over.

there are alternate versions of the songs i know of 'cause when that album came out i downloaded some songs off it and a few of them were way different to what everyone else had.

the real version of mr brightside still sounds a bit weird to me. i think mine had a different intro and was mixed very differently.

Yeah he said the mix sounded very different. "They sounded better back in the day lad..."

what kind of music do you use that pedal for? electronic-rock or something? :b

I heard at least 5 different versions of Mr. Brightside.
