YESSSSSSSS MinistryYup. Lollapalooza 1992. It was like going to a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and not
knowing it at the time. What a lineup!
Tool and RATM were on a side-stage, as I recall. Tool, you are not good enough.
Don't hurt yourself trying too hard to be diplomatic, JT.
The Bends is really the only Radiohead album I ever dug on. I avoided wtever album before it Creep was on and after the Bends; they got wayyyy too weird for my tastes.Oddly.... Radiohead's Creep was/is a total banger.
We'd always try to do our best to read what drew a response.
Because them having more fun usually meant us having fun.
By set 3 and 4 it hardly mattered. Alcohol was in full effect!

Yes i still need tons of practice on that to get it right
Since I'm really focused on my technique atm, I watch my fingers sometimes, and it's becoming pretty much second nature for me to mute the next string with the tip of whatever finger (the pinky is still hit-or-miss) is fretting the note. It helps a lot with that note not sounding when I switch to the next string.Yes i still need tons of practice on that to get it right
Man, I grew to loathe that song. Every time the other guitar player breaks into that cool intro I yawn.
I can't say that about a lot of songs, but that one is just a mid-tempo snooze fest for me. Not
chill enough to be down-tempo, not up-tempo enough to be an ass-kicker. The 90s did that
mid-tempo "WTF do you wanna be when you grow up?" song better than any decade.
Must have been the Cocaine/Heroine combination.
It seldom went over well when we played it out either. Didn't stop us from playing it.
It is a great lesson in using Jazzy/Steely Dan style chord voicings in rock. I think that is
where that clean-ish Vox Dean runs shines. That chime really allows those chords to be
articulated in a way gain can schmear. I'd build a dual amp setup for any STP.
I went to Lollapalooza 93...would have been July-ish in STL. Tool was still second stage but Rage was on the main stage. AIC was there...Primus...YESSSSSSSS Ministry
That last sentence can't be bolded enough. He is probably cool but his tastes (as exhibited in his band's material) is WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too out there for me. Yuck.Pablo Honey.
If Radiohead/Thom Yorke hates it I probably like it more, and vice versa.
Oh yeah, I left out the other thing that ran through my head when I found out it was in the set, “F*ckin’ a I’m so sick of that f*cking song I don’t even want to spend time learning it and the thought that it might trip me up is all the more annoying as a result of that“
Thankfully, it was far enough outside my normal playing style that once I learned it, it was like a new perspective on it and I just focused on not f*cking up more than I did the fact I was hearing the song for the 5,000,000,0000th time.
That sort of style (when they were doing stuff I could like) was very short lived for me. Like they had those first two albums, then I went over to like Spacehog for a song or 3 then my brain hopped over to Big Wreck and that was pretty much that. Not similar in sound so much as similar in the kind of level of rocking area that wasn't classic or metal that my brain would commit to.
