Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Neither. That was crazy.
Couldn't work out which was the "infamous" bit; when he smashed his guitar on the camera, when he sconed someone in the crowd with a broken strat, or when his Marshall stacks spotaneously combusted! That was like a Michael Bay film.
And all the while, I couldn't help wonder what all that smashed gear would be worth today...
Nothing to see here.

I generally can't turn Queen off quick enough but I'll always make an exception for this (had a huge impact on me as a ten year old). Here Brian May joins Rick Beato to take the song apart:

Queen hold a very special place in my heart, they were my gateway from pop to rock in my early teens. Bohemian Rhapsody is a masterpiece, so complex and clever and yet digested so easily like a simple pop song. I still miss Freddie even 30yrs after his death

Re: YouTube goodness
The guitars were 3 bolt Fenders so not much. And the Marshall was a 200w Major so nobody today would want it except Cappy.Miza wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 7:19 pm

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: YouTube goodness
Exactly the same for me. That song and video are the reason I got into guitar. That sound and the guitar hero image. Can't overstate what an impact it had on me.sizzlingbadger wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 2:00 pm

Good read, that. And one of the better hype busters too!Danger Mouse wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 9:03 amEven Blackmore wasn't a big fan, apparently.

Re: YouTube goodness
John Frusciante used to use a Marshall Major along with a Silver Jubilee, big cleans....
