Why are they arranging Hummer like this live?
sorry i'm obsessed with guitar shit lately
so i'm watching 2018 live vids and it seems like all three guitars are just playing the octave pattern during the final hit: [cued] why. it sounds super nasally, doesn't it? in the old days iha would do the octave thing and corgan would play the rhythm [DED/DEG (?)] and it sounds more full and orchestral: [cued] anyone can play guitar. anyone can fall in love |

i get exactly what you mean, but that ending of hummer in '93 has billy's guitar so soft in the mix by that bit until the end of the song that you can't really tell anyway.
this is probably a better example where you can actually hear it properly: (cued to the pinnacle) but yeah i completely agree with you. i also think's it's lazy and tacky when you have 2 guitars playing the same thing too much, let alone 3 guitars. |

They don't use real amps anymore. Just modeling effects fed into monitors.

Solid thread, Ram. I'm sure there are a ton of other decisions they made that are as asinine as this for that tour. The fuck is happening.

Only thing i can imagine is that it’s easier/less taxing to old ass arthritic fingers to play the octave (pumpkin) chord

Ram the less time you spend fetishizing an era you weren't alive to see the better you'll feel
It's never gonna be 1993 again, not in terms of music, performance, vocals, nothing Find something good that's out there today Knowing is half the battle GI JOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEE |

I stand by my statement because Ram's mentioned wanting to buy 96 tour shirts and that to me is a real indication of wishing you were there. Maybe a bit much. I dunno. And yeah no. I'm not here to do any of that because the narrative of "all the old stuff is good and all the new stuff is bad" is fucking idiotic. The band long since peaked and a lot of new stuff ain't up to par, but it just ain't that simple. |

lol. well you all know i'm fucked up
uhm, with regards to this at least, i think it's positive for me -- being this deeply analytical about the old stuff increases my appreciation of it and my general happiness. and the shitty new stuff does the same; the contrast makes the climax of 94 hummer even sweeter. the more pleasure we can eek from the dregs of the old days, the better, right? i'm happy if i'm obsessing over hummer guitar parts and not, uhm, women ~~ i love nothing; i'll check out cloakroom |

I just worry man and I don't want you to wish you were in another time
I feel like the healthy way to look at SP in 2020 is to just try and get what enjoyment you can out of what you can I never, ever got the chance to see SP during their original run but at the very least getting to see them do Aeroplane last year was everything I needed it to be, that and the Shiny tour were sure as shit better than the 2012 and 2015 shows I attended |
