new lincoln brewster CD is cool

[mentoneman]

He ever tell you about growing up a Southern Baptist Preacher's son?

nothing specific other than he used to jam with his dad and uncle on their front porch growing up.

LB is a great player! I remember seeing the videos where he used the Pod Live. Sounded great.

I`m not a religious person, but I agree about rather let kids hear some positive outlook on things, than negatives all the time.

The message is an honest and heartfelt one, but after reading some of the lyrics, I kinda miss....metaphores?

"O God above Your love has opened up my eyes
Now all I see is You all I see is You
O God above Your love has opened up my eyes
Now all I see is You all I see is You
With every breath I breathe I know it's true that"

"In You In You I find my peace
In You In You I find my strength
In You I live and move and breathe
Let everything I say and do
Be founded by my faith in You
I lift up holy hands and sing
Let the praises ring!"

Both are great pop/rock songs, and I can easily see them as "modern hymns", where the audience can sing along. (And if there`s one thing a lot of church audiences can, it`s sing along -in tune! )

I kind of like "deeper" lyrics.. Where you can see there`s been some thinking behind the writing of the lyrics as well. And that they leave room for interpretation, even if the thought behind them are clear (worship)

it's true that traditionally speaking modern worship can be pretty repetitive lyrically, but when you put into perspective that you are trying to teach and encourage the congregation to sing with the song, and purpose the words to Whom the song is directed, it takes on a more logical reasoning.

one thing is clear...lincoln blew the doors wide open for us church players to cover songs with some modern (well 80's 90's) solo playing and for this i'm forever grateful.

i was just listening to LB's playing on the steve perry solo cd "For the Love of Strange Medicine" while painting our bedroom and man did he wail all over that one!
great tones and he was definitely going after schon/huff/malmsteen ideas in his leads.

another new cd alert--satriani black swans and wormholes. i just listened to itunes samples....unsure what to make of it. i tend to think when fairly big names get too big for their britches and start thinking everything they play is gold, and that their ideas are better than what outside producers are capable of, that their music heads down the twah-lot. either repetitive, or the ideas just aren't memorable, or their just these shallow vehicles to solo over, and what is being "expressed" isn't very ground breaking. and let's face it, in this day and age, if you are putting out a solo guitar cd, you better have plenty of fresh exciting things to say.

it seems every fall when the weather starts getting cooler and i'm inside, or traveling more, i always seek out new music.

i really hope van halen enlists the help of templeman and landee for the next one. i don't think they can survive another album of "how many say i"

satch was best with john cuniberti. lynch too, but they also need somebody like an yngwie attitude-dan huff taste in the equation to tell them what is dead lame and why, and also take decent ideas and form them into cool songs.


ps-
i might be rejoining the mojave family soon.....

Man I love Satriani...I hate to say it but your right. I'll still buy the new CD and enjoy it but it would be nice to see what he does if he's challanged a bit.

Mojave... Which one? I'd love to try the Saraceno model.

le peacemaker. the grand daddy of hard rock tone based on what i have heard and played. that amp and the coyote are the two i miss the most of all the amps i've owned. my carol ann OD2r sorta fulfills the coyote thing for me now..it is the eric johnson amp...all three of his tones, from blackfaced clean to dirty dumble rhythms, to violin lead tone, in one amp.

i sorta wanted a plexi 45, due to how glassy bubbly sweet yet tough that thing sounds and how you can do guitar volume clean to mean control with it, and that may be down the road, but i can't pass on the PM for the price.

i also really want the sniderman two rock tone dog badly, but the price i was quoted was 6k and in order to pull that off i have to sell a bunch of gear and still come up with 2-3k.....and my wife wanted to redo the bedroom so that amp's not happening.

i really feel that the peacemaker has the authentic plexi superlead voice and sound i want, with a modern twist in a reliable package. plus i'm having it send to victor and he is going to add a few twists and turns of his own based on new circuits he has developed since designing the PM.

would love to get my hands on a Peacemaker but I have a feeling it would kill everyone inside small clubs with the volume on 1. I would have to do a PPIMV or the likes and I'm betting it would still be too loud.

I simply don't agree with his subject matter. I'm not religious, so it means nothing to me and sounds cringeworthy. That said, I think he's a really good player as I said previously and I think he writes what would be really solid pop/rock songs if I could get around the Christianity aspect.

I'm curious as to what you find so offensive to someone singing about how they love God or Jesus? I mean is a that really something to be offended by? Someone could sing a song about loving Buddha.... I wouldn't be offended at all. They are just expressing themselves.

oh yeah it's plenty loud, but with the hotplate i was able to bring her down to levels i used at church. it was more of a clean platform for pedals that way though.

ultimately this is more about having a killer plexi style amp that does the marshall thing so well, from awesome cleans to ac/dc to van halen.

i intend to keep the low sensitivity as is and vic thinks he may be able to goose the high sensitivity circuit separately into the "realm".
