Author ArchiveWell maybe this will only be big news to punk rock guitar nerds but it was a big deal to me. We’re recording on saturday and i was able to track down Lyle Preslar the guitarist from Minor Threat. Lyle’s sound on the “Filler” release is the greatest punk guitar sound of all time. The riffs in those Minor Threat songs are so great, played with so much speed and intensity. No one played like that before. Lyle (and the rest of Minor Threat) basically invented american hardcore. He is one of my personal guitar heros and one of the greatest rhythm guitar players ever! Can you tell I’m a fan? Anyway i was able to pick Lyle’s brain about their recording process and his guitar setup at the time. He was SO cool in his emails with me. Took the time to write me a 3 page email in response. It’s not to often you get to ask questions to someone you admire so much and for them to be helpful and super friendly is such a treat. Thanks Lyle! I was tired of paying over $100 a month for cel phone service. So i disconnected my phone. With the cancelation fees and my un payed bills i had to kick down almost $600.00! So don’t bother calling me. I’m getting another phone soon.. but i’m never calling anyone. Send me a fucking email haha! Happy birthday to the best operating system in the world.. And now you know what a total fucking geek i am. A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel in his crotch. The bartender looks at him and says, “Hey pirate, why have you got that steering wheel in your crotch?” The pirate says, “Arr, it’s driving me nuts!” I snore really bad.. I guess it’s sleep apnia or whatever. Anyway i taped it one night and made a best of snores… it’s kinda funny. Give it a listen if you want. It was 19 years ago today (March 20th 1987) i was in a battle royal. I was the first person thrown out. Don’t believe me? Check it out here. |
