I recall years ago reading interviews with the Stones and with Yes. Someone in each group talked about how they would be trying to pull a song in one direction at a certain tempo and someone else (maybe more than one) would be pulling in another direction and/or another tempo, and how that defined their sound.
Not everyone needs to work that way but a lot of my favorite bands live seem to.

Add a ton of alcohol and belligerence and basically you've got The Replacements.

I’m actually impressed with this crew. As raw as it gets.

You are well on your way to the FX forum's requisite four flavours of dirt. You need a fuzz to complete the set.

Hmmm, not familiar with that requirement. But a good friend of mine has an original Big Muff that needs repair, so when he gets that fixed I'll play with it. We were talking tonight over some bourbon about doing some little sporadic death metal thing, just for the ridiculousness of it. I'm not even into death metal.

That has to be a record...played a gig at 8pm, done playing by 10pm. Signed autographs, took pictures, got paid and had the van loaded and on the interstate by 11pm. Now all we gotta do is drive from Kansas City back home to Nashville :/

Mild overdrive, clippier overdrive, distortion and fuzz are the four dirt essentials before you can consider yourself a true TB dirt afficionado ... apparently.

At the moment I have the sound of the Traynor making the Hartke 410 at the rehearsal studios cry, with the option of added Cat Tail. This is the mark of an amateur.

Oh, man. I'm thrilled to be in your camp. I have a tiny pedal board with room for one dirt pedal and that's it.

I thought that you had to have a strong opinion on the correct order in which to stack your overdrives to belong.

Shays were designed specifically for the rough, uneven track that was typical of most logging and mining railroads, the drive train was flexible and more powerful than a conventional side rod steam locomotive. By their nature they were slow speed creatures, there are a couple preserved on Washington's north coast, one at Forks (yes the Forks from Twilight) and another in Pt. Angeles, I don't really model steam locos, as I'm a child of the diesel era but a Shay could be an exception.

I rode behind one at Cass, WV. Tremendous amount of noise and motion for a top speed of maybe 5 mph.:cool:
