Big Black / Rapeman / Shellac / Jesus Lizard - Guitars

every band i listen to has great aspects on every instrument that's played.
and it varies between songs. in other words, i could change what i pay attention to many times within one song.
i don't pay strict attention to just one instrument, unless i'm really intrigued by what one musician may be playing on their respective instrument.
and also, how it may or may not coexist with the other instruments, etc.

but.. if i had to choose, i always listen to Greg Ginn on Black Flag records, mainly because i have no other choice haha. so many great guitar bits right in my face.

hahah.

...on the other hand, if i could NOT listen to an instrument in a band, it would be greg ginn's guitar, especially his solos...

when i listen to joy division and new order im always focused on the drums, because they easily steal the show. The drums on the substance version of "ceremony" from joy division are amazing...

atsonicpark · 09.30.2009, 07:17 PM

Really, the drums for Joy division?

The fucking BASS.

Satan · 09.30.2009, 10:03 PM

ooh joy division talk.

the drums really get me, stephen morris is a genius drummer.
but so does the bass. and so does the guitar.
i also listen very intently to ian.

it's different for different songs. songs like colony or atrocity exhibition.... all drums.
24 hours...guitars. isolation synths. no love lost bass (and guitars on the into bit)

atsonicpark · 09.30.2009, 10:13 PM

COLONY is probably their best song to me (not my favorite though it's up there) because I think that's the one where all instruments come together so perfectly..

Satan · 09.30.2009, 10:15 PM

they were so fucking good.

colony is epic.

when i listen to unwound i often find myself paying attention to one instrument at a time, reason why i listen to it many times

pbradley · 09.30.2009, 10:21 PM

I don't really, unless there is only one instrument being played then of course I pay attention to that.

Death & the Maiden · 10.01.2009, 05:13 AM

Malice Mizer for the guitars, except in their early stuff when they had a good vocalist. Guitar songs were definitely what they were best at, I don't know why they did less than ten over their whole career.

atsonicpark · 10.01.2009, 05:53 AM

Malice Mizer for their horror movie synths.

Bertrand · 10.01.2009, 05:21 PM

Birthday Party for the guitar sound
I can't hear the bass (or interesting parts) in the records I know and never understood why Barry Adamson joined the Bad Seeds; he had so much more to do on Magazine albums that I'm still puzzled.
