the best contribution from James

Catherine Wheel · 06-24-2007, 12:11 AM

What was the best song / musical component that James had to offer?

For me it would be the guitar solo in Zero.

you mean the "solo" where he overdubbed 6 different tracks because he wasn't good enough to play everything in one take?

Ebow on live versions of Shame. See 1998/05/21 for an especially good one.

James didn't come up with that joke, it's very old, he was intentionally being lame.

thurston · 06-24-2007, 01:52 AM

i always hated his voice, i thought it was the most awful thing in the world (after my own of course)...

but as for musical contributions (guitar right?) he isn't that bad i guess, i really don't think billy gave him as much credit as he deserved...

Revenant · 06-24-2007, 02:01 AM

Come on guys his gook appeal brought instant alternative cred to the band....duh!

suncrashesdown · 06-24-2007, 02:40 AM

Did I read somewhere that James kinda sucked at guitar when Billy met him and that he basically taught him everything he knew?

thurston · 06-24-2007, 02:51 AM

i dunno, did you?

Same with Darcy. That quote also mentioned Jimmy formerly being a jazz drummer.

by the way, that solo got the pumpkins on the top (ranked pretty high too) worse guitar riffs and solos ever in guitar world awhile back.

Patuquitos · 06-24-2007, 05:32 AM

"The boy" is pretty awesome.

yeah, this is news to me too.

ChristHimself! · 06-24-2007, 05:55 AM

im completely bemused as to how someone who has sound recordings and uses different headphones for different types of music can't tell that's blatantly james iha's voice

sweter33 · 06-24-2007, 05:56 AM

yeah, I'll go with "The Boy" as well, and recently, I think 12th track from "Linda..." score... very pretty tune, it never gets boring for me.
