Hmm... I know there's something important tonight... What is it? Oh, wait, it's time for the Friday Night Guitar Thread! That's right, it's time to come share some music that you've created and time to come rock out to the music created by your peers!

Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link. That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Talk.lol go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, ask a regular participant (such as @Sleazy or myself)

If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to click any of those links. You can still visit to see if any changes have been made, as that's also where we kept the archives and have a second forum.

By the way, we're down to just two of us. If you want to help, let us know.

Nice! Is that a slide or a steel guitar?

Ah, that's what I figured but I didn't want to say I was certain. It sounded close to a slide, however.

[ - ] Sleazy 2 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 21:16:08 ago (+2/-0)

This sounds really cool. It just makes me feel relaxed when I listen. I love it. Thanks for sharing

[ - ] ChatGPT 1 point 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 23:36:42 ago (+1/-0)

There was a guy here back in the day called Harry Rheems. Your sound is similar to his.

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 21:11:52 ago (+4/-0)*

While Chris was here the other night we also learned and played a Ramones song, Blitzkrieg Bop

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 21:26:33 ago (+4/-0)

That one played just fine. I wonder whatever happened to the Ramones? I bet they're still out there playing various 'underground' clubs and the like.

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 21:33:02 ago (+4/-0)

I think some of them passed away

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 22:33:08 ago (+4/-0)

That sounds probable.

In my head, I often confuse Journey with Boston.

I have no idea why. They're not all that similar.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 22:44:19 ago (+3/-0)

Must be cause they kind of came out and got huge in the same time frame.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 2 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 22:57:13 ago (+2/-0)

Alas, I'm too lazy to Google.

COF would come in handy right about now.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 22:59:17 ago (+3/-0)

its definitely Journey

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 1 point 1.6 yearsOct 7, 2023 11:08:08 ago (+1/-0)

I was talking about the name of the singer. LOL I get the two confused.

[ - ] Sleazy 1 point 1.6 yearsOct 7, 2023 16:41:21 ago (+1/-0)

Oh, that's Steve Perry

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 1 point 1.6 yearsOct 7, 2023 21:35:02 ago (+1/-0)

Yeah, I always confuse him for the guy in Boston. I don't know why, but I do.

Bathurst 1000 is going on right now.

Also, I am drinking...

My friend Chris came over to jam out some music again earlier this week. We were trying to decide what song to learn and play when I said, lets just make up a song, lets make a punk rock song. So, that's what we did.

Here is our brand new original song, Guess I'm Going Back To Her Now

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 20:22:36 ago (+4/-0)

The picture doesnt work!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 5 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 20:41:48 ago (+5/-0)

The picture works for me.

It says that something is wrong and that it can't play your track, effectively. It's a bit more verbose.

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 20:44:05 ago (+4/-0)

I clicked the link and it plays for me.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 20:46:15 ago (+4/-0)

I'll give it a few more minutes and click it again.

Hopefully it works.

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 20:51:12 ago (+4/-0)

it fucking better work! Its a great song.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 20:56:40 ago (+4/-0)

I am still getting the error. I will try again shortly.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 21:07:04 ago (+3/-0)

well damn it. Here, I loaded an mp3 of it to catbox, so this should work, if it wont play it will download, its only 2.5 mb

https://files.catbox.moe/zpnu8h.mp3

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 21:08:46 ago (+4/-0)

I had to trim a bunch of nonsense from the URL to get it to play.

Hmm... You need to kick a hole in your speakers to go true punk! (Do not really do this, no matter how attractive the idea may be while drinking.)

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 21:13:05 ago (+3/-0)

We could always just play it louder

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 21:27:13 ago (+4/-0)

You'll have to turn your amps up to 11!

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 21:32:29 ago (+4/-0)

we would but then if we turn chris' mic up to be heard he gets feedback

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 22:32:06 ago (+4/-0)

You can kinda turn it up to 11 in post. So, there's that.

(My connection is fucking up.)

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 22:43:46 ago (+3/-0)

You need to invest in a regional ISP for your area!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 22:56:12 ago (+3/-0)

I need to go set shit on fire.

That will get their attention.

[ - ] Sleazy 2 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 22:59:57 ago (+2/-0)

That certainly would get somebody's attention

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 1 point 1.6 yearsOct 7, 2023 11:08:49 ago (+1/-0)

Fire is an effective way to get someone's attention.

Kick ass song. You add Sid Vicious to supply some bottom and you got yourself one hell of a record.

[ - ] Sleazy 2 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 23:51:07 ago (+2/-0)

Thanks!

And Hell Yeah!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 7 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 19:55:18 ago (+7/-0)

Hello and welcome to another FNGT! Like normal, we'll go ahead and get you started.

We actually have been working on something new, but it is not yet ready. There's some tweaking that needs to be done and it is not an easy piece to record properly. So, that's in the pipeline but not yet ready. I hope you too have something you're working on. In fact, I hope you have something that's prepared to share tonight!

What I've chosen to do is reach way back into the dark days of the thread and dig up a song I've not shared in a while. As I recall, @Sleazy sang along with this one when we first shared it, but they didn't record themselves singing along. They were wooing a woman, as I recall.

Journey - Lights (B #1 & B; J K; TB #2 & P)

It's a pretty good song. You have Biff on rhythm and bass. J fills in on keys. I did the lead and the percussion. (That's what all the weirdness in the file name conveys.)

Enjoy and rock on, goats! Rock on!

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 20:10:22 ago (+4/-0)

Hell yeah. That sounds just right, man. I would sing along but I can't sing like that!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 5 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 20:21:15 ago (+5/-0)

LOL When I first shared it you sang along for whichever chick it was at your house at that time.

Drugs or alcohol may have been a factor. Probably both!

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 20:23:01 ago (+4/-0)

I am sure that sounded awful, I hope I didn't record it and share it.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 20:45:43 ago (+4/-0)

You did not. No, you did not.

I can kind of sound like the dude that sings for them (his name slips my mind right now) but it ain't easy and I have to change some shit up. A drunken bar audience isn't gonna mind. They'll just be happy that you played a song they know.

And everybody knows that song.

I recall an interview where they remarked on how they did things like play in other countries and everyone sang along with them. Like, they went to what was East Germany (after the wall fell) and the people there knew the song and sang along with them.

So, that song was known even beyond the Iron Curtain - where that song would have been illegal to own or broadcast. That's some serious mojo right there. I can't say anything equivalent to that! At most, I've had a circle of bars that could sing along to some original tracks.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 20:50:51 ago (+3/-0)

I have a few friends and many ex's that will sing along to some of my songs LoL

It would be cool to have foreigners who are not allowed to listen to western music singing along, for sure. That would be amazing!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 20:56:17 ago (+4/-0)

I imagine it's quite a high having those sort of folks singing along with them.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 21:07:37 ago (+3/-0)

Hell yeah. I think I would just stop singing and let them sing it while I play!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 21:10:16 ago (+3/-0)

I believe they did something close to that. If I ever find the interview again, I'll share it. I don't think it was a video interview but from one of the guitar magazines that I used to buy.

[ - ] ChatGPT 3 points 1.6 yearsOct 6, 2023 23:35:35 ago (+3/-0)

That's excellent. One of those groups that were around before MTV and made the transition to MTV. Kinda like Tom Petty, Dire Straits, Cars, Pat Benetar.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 0 points 1.6 yearsOct 7, 2023 11:11:25 ago (+0/-0)

They definitely had staying power and popular appeal. I got to see them in concert at one point, though for the life of me I can't remember where. Ah well... Glad ya liked it.

[ - ] CamelsMiller 3 points 1.6 yearsOct 7, 2023 00:24:31 ago (+3/-0)

God I love that song... but love this more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88T131rQCUc

From the looks of things, they're going to be touring in the US next year. At least that's what YouTube tells me at the bottom. They're all old now, but so am I. Hell, I can't even guess how much of it is the original band members. Still, it might be fun - the type of concert where you know you're going to know (and not hate) the songs.
