yes ma'am, and a fellow one that plays guitar so has to listen to a LOT of Eddie fanboy hero-worship from people when the talk turns to guitar. he may be the end-all be all for some people, but (a) fast isn't great, and (b) there are so many better players that can play faster anyway. just not my kind of music. glad to see i am not alone.

Matt

Sure, it sounds like just the same old thing now. But perspective means that just about every thing you hear now days is based on the Edster.

I don't have any fanboy stuff going on (only for King) but Eddie Van Halen rewrote the book on what an electric guitar could do.

i'm as old as you are matt so i have the perspective. other than the tone [his so-called "brown sound"] eddie didn't invent anything new. there were people doing what he does/did on electric guitar LONG before he did it. he may have been the first to become known for doing it in a pop/rock context but this in no way should be confused with innovating any of the techniques or sounds he gets. believe me, i could go on forever with this, it's a discussion i've had countless times, but in the end it comes down to taste and we each have our own.

Okay, you win. I'm not a guitar guy :couple:

But I thought he was cool as shit at the time and still love hearing the old stuff today.

My boyfriend would agree with you in that respect. And he think's Dave Lombardo is a god on the drums.

there's no win or lose among friendly conversations, it's all a matter of differing opinions. :)

and JB, Kerry King is spectacular. he's not really my thing either, but his playing is undeniably sick!

Matt
04-22-2008, 11:35 AM
It was a playful *poke in the ribs*..."you win" kind of thing. :lol:

And btw...you are a year younger than me, that makes all the difference in this kind of stuff. :cool:

R of G, for what its worth I agree with you about Eddie, very much so. I do appreciate the brown sound, but it never comes up in conversation and most people aren't even aware of it. I was so sick of everyone emulating him in the 80's. One good thing: Kirk Hammett may not have been created if he wasn't rebelling against all the Eddie emulators in California, so I'm thankful for that.

From Wikipedia:

is a legendary electric guitar distortion tone that musicians try to emulate using various effects pedals, tube amplifiers and modeling amplifiers.

The term was coined by guitarist Eddie Van Halen to describe the sound of Alex Van Halen's snare drum, which he then attempted to emulate with his 100-watt Marshall amplifier running at full volume. Eddie would use a variac (a device that controls voltage levels) and run it at about 90 volts AC to the power input of the Marshall amp (normally the amp would have 120 volts input in the US; although the older Marshalls like Eddie's were designed in Europe with a 110 volt input rating) this allowed Eddie to lower the voltage input to his Marshall while allowing him to turn the amplifier's volume knob up all the way. This saturated the output tubes without distorting the preamp tubes, and lowered the stress on the amplifier. Eddie would also use a dummy load on the amp output instead of going right to the speakers, then he would add his effects pedals (Eddie found the effects performed better this way) and run the effects into a power amp usually an H&H V800 MOS-FET, then to speakers. He would set his Marshall Amp output resistance at 8 ohms and the dummy load at 20 ohms lowering the stress on the Marshall amp (the Marshall amp basically became one powerful preamp). This all helped to create his brown sound in conjunction with the single PAF pick-up and a high resistance volume pot he installed, without a tone control. Of course this was mainly his recording set-up; Eddie's live setup was a little different. More than the appropriate number of user-submitted product reviews at the well known musician review websites claim that product X can replicate the Brown Sound perfectly.

Good! And I DO like them. I just don't know alot of their stuff YET. I don't listen to the radio or watch tv. I only buy CDs and DVDs and download some stuff and there are two ways I decide on what bands/etc.. are worth my time: randomly grabbing something and (mostly) friend's recommendations. :couple:
