Big guitar stuff, with all the love for those blazing rock guitar gods from back in the days before Pro-Tools and self-tuning guitars. Nickel wound strings against rosewood fretboards, and tubes that are getting just the right level of red hot is what I'm all about, with my digital sidemen having seen the glory of the analog beast, and wishing only to serve it as the master that it truly is.
It gets no more organic than this, my friend. The life and breath exists in the creation itself, as it always has and always will for those about to rock.
You're probably asking yourself, so what's this thing sound like? Click on the songs and make sure you're not listening with laptop speaker (those are like the worst ever). What I have posted here is exactly clipped off my little mixer and without a damn thing added.
It's a bar act. That's right. A bar act. That means I play plenty of songs people know and slip in my own stuff when I'm pretty sure that no one is listening. I have fun though. A friend of mine, Dan, asked me once, after seeing the whole set-up, “Rick, why do you bother with all that stuff? It looks like too much work.” The truth is that I love messing with all this stuff. I’m like a mad scientist that takes his lab out of the cellar and drags it around town to show everyone what kind of nutty stuff he’s come up with. It’s the best job I’ve ever had, and I’m running into a lot of people that really seem to enjoy checking it out as well.
Now, how totally sweet is that?
