Who else but Prince could make a guitar sound like a flock of geese, as we hear in "Back 2 the Lotus" - that's just badazz!

Amuse me, my foot! Answer my question - who else could make a guitar sound like that? Have you heard it before? Perhaps this orger can't (or won't let himself) hear this sound.

I was more impressed with the water sound.....

I'd tell ya go fuck yourself but hay straw makes ya arse dry

have fun at school....

Now at this point someone will usually
run off and go marinate on something to say
in a very subversive underhanded way... earwig-ing is the term used i think

or they might come back with a indirect comment
on another post somewhere else or even a poem maybe...

Oh and then a moderator blind to this behaviour
will come along and say that I am doing something wrong
or something bizarre like that..

its a bit like a boxer still kicking into
the unconscious guy on the floor.
while the referee has their back turned.

its all very interesting

well, if you've been tagged by a moderator before, maybe you got a case of "but ya are, Blanche, ya are!" (And this comment took me all of a minute to think of and write out.) Maybe you're bored or something...I'm just sayin'...

back to the subject - has anyone ELSE on the org heard another guitar genius make such sounds with a guitar?

eaglebear4839 said:

maybe that schooling is paying off after all.
i dont mind being tagged.... as long as its the right label.

I'll let ya get back to your bird chirps..... Blanche

dont forget you glasses Angela Landsbury

It's not that new of an idea and plenty have altered their guitar to sound weird, or not like a guitar. Go listen to Boston's Third Stage album. That album sounds like it has synths all over it, and all kinds of different instruments. You know what they are? Guitars. Read the liner notes.

Lets go NUTS with Marty


YAY!!!!

I love Marty

Do you love Marty too boys and girls....

say YES

Geez all the man was asking about was a guitar sound and if anyone has heard it before????!!!!

Well no, his statement implied that Prince had somehow, in the history of music, had magically come up with that sound on a guitar. My retorts weren't mean. I just tried to point him in a direction of others who have been very experimental and had "OMG" moments on guitar as well. I have to say, although I'm not a Boston fan (I mentioned their album), I did listen to it once years ago. I read the liner notes and listened to each song. It was VERY interesting. I remember at that time (it was about 1994 I think), that I had never heard someone do THAT with a guitar in a song. It was an ear opening experience.

It's all good - people are entitled to take swipes, but it's the evidence that I listen to.

What this did get me thinking about is the effect that Prince has been lifting from Eddie Van Halen. Think about their cover version of "You Really Got Me" - as the guitar solo is ending. Prince did the same thing after the end of his performance of Dreamer on Leno. He also did this at the end of his "Fury" performance, as well as a number of recent songs he's done.
