see? what did i say? LOL
"Lets see… well I play the guitar and when I'm not playing the guitar, I think about playing the guitar. My other favorite instrument, is the guitar and if I aspired to play any other instrument, it would be the guitar...

I can’t sing so I sing through my guitar. So when the sound guy says: “Your guitar is too loud!” I think: "Why does he never say that to the vocalist?"

axle, let me remind you of your original post:

"lol dood I was joking I promise I wont post in this thread again!"

Let me analyze: You said you will never "post" in this thread again. you didn't specify that you will never post "words" in this post again, you just said that you will never "post" again. The fact that you posted a laughing face is a post isn't it? LOL

Hi y'all!! I hope this isn't inappropriate here, BUT at least Brian May maniacs might get a kick out of it...
 
I run a site called INTIMATE AUDIO, which has just issued its first CD, INTERPRETATIONS:
 
http://www.intimateaudio.com/interpretations.html

The disc opens with “Bohemian Rhapsody”—the WHOLE thing, played "live" with only acoustic guitar & voice, including the "Galiileo" section!! (Soundclips are at link above)
 
As for the rest of the disc, fans of Queen, Beach Boys, Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, and John Frusciante's solo material (among others) might enjoy it. It's all covers (licensed properly), recorded "live" in my home studio (playing and singing at the same time). Some of them are pretty crazy! And funny! And serious!
 
Here's the complete songlist, FYI:
 
1. “Bohemian Rhapsody” 6:03
2. “God Only Knows” 2:39
3. “Blackbird” 2:28
4. “Sweet Baby James” 3:52
5. “Hallelujah” 6:28
6. “She’s Always a Woman” 3:08
7. “Leader of the Band” 4:17
8. “Sister Golden Hair” 2:53
9. “Castles Made of Sand” 3:12
10. “Coconut” 3:44
 
Total playing time: 39:03
All songs used by permission. All rights reserved.
 
The full story (why the CD exists, how it was recorded, notes on the arrangements, etc.) and MP3/Real Audio soundclips can be found here:

Thanks for taking the time to read this (and hopefully laugh over some of them soundclips)!! Any feedback is appreciated!!!!!!

try copying all of what you just wrote and put it in open discussion on the forum and lots of people will have a look. I dont think many people will notice it in this thread !
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.

Thanks a lot!!!!!!

Brian May is THE MAN!

I think he's got a new signature model VOX amp too, or something, which sounds like it's probably great. I just read a review of it in Guitar One (I think that's where).

Tone for days :)

Take care,
Dale

actually, i have that amp. it's vox's imitation of the deacy amp- the amp that john deacon made for brian may which enables him to make those nice violin- like tones. i like it very much. it has this treble booster mixed with the gain switch and my guitar just sings when i use it to overdrive tube amps. its surprising how nice it sounds on my les paul and marshall. its what i used to use before i got the korg ax1500g. i dont have the ac30s or the guild BM guitar so my sound isnt exactly ala brian may, but its very nice. Bright and clean thick gain- i dont lose clarity and body on my tone at all unlike when i use the korg with my fender princeton 65. you should try one of these and get one if you like. they're very cheap. got mine for 230 canadian bucks.
