WTF TGP?!

[Jer]

TGP is strange like that...There are some incognito shredders but generally speaking it's an older audience; lots of people over there go crazy for the whole light OD w/ delay noodling stuff. Lots of dumble chasing and whatnot.

Sometimes I like that stuff but I didn't hear anything in this video that excited me. Maybe after some party favors I could spend some time with that amp. To each their own I guess...

I'm a fan of Fryette amps and am familiar with Torn.

The part where he starts pushing the amp sounds like the thing is about to melt down or malfunctioning or something. I'm not commenting on the playing, just the "tone."

I like how that sounds, like it's going to explode.

Don't worry fellas I'm pretty sure he's capable of playing more R-T approved ditties like Lay it Down, too.

Dude in the video is David Torn.

Longer list of credits as a musician, composer, and producer, than you could shake a stick at; not necessarily my thing, but that guy has forgotten more about music than most here will ever know.

Happy Friday

I have one of Torn's CDs. It's a sort of ambient noise jazz that would be great to listen to if you were on the train for 40 min and just zoning. It's not for everyone, or even me very often. I had a very nice pm series with him about it. We started off because people were hammering Henry Kaiser and Torn got sort of lumped in. I flat told him I didn't "get it". He was super cool about it, really a nice dude. So now I kind of "get it", but still usually reach for Judas Priest first.

The amp, it's hard to tell without being in the room. There are other clips that have been dl'd to soundcloud or somesuch. It sounds nice, not $4500 nice to me but whatever. Perhaps most interesting is how it's 2 pieces. The preamp and speaker cab and a little lunchbox with power section and connecting cords.

Cause David Torn is a long time poster at TGP. That and he is semi-famous, the tongues come out in full force to lap anus. Nothing new there

Haha, total meltdown mode!
Not my cup of tea, but he obviously has control of the guitar

Looked like he was having fun, tone sounded alright to me.

They blew this guy off for 6 pages over that shit!

Just like any thread here that has Friedman, or the likes. Different crowds but here the same shit happens

I thought the amp sounded pretty good for what the dude was playing and he's certainly an excellent player... I dunno...

Yep there is quite a bit of Friedman gizz being shot around on this forum.
