24   The Edge
of U2

Rarely has a guitarist achieved so much by playing so little. Most of what the Edge (real name Dave Evans) played on U2's early albums, from Boy in 1980 to the '87 global smash The Joshua Tree, can be described thusly: circular skeletal arpeggios swimming in oceans of reverb; few conventional chords or solos. But the elegant urgency of the Edge's minimalism on those records perfectly framed and fueled the earnest, flag-waving theatricality of Bono's voice. With U2's swerve into apocalyptic dance music on 1991's Achtung Baby, the Edge coated his riffs in extreme distortion and electronic treatments but without betraying his playing credo: Less is most.

17   Jack White
of the White Stripes

White has become the hottest new thing on six strings by celebrating the oldest tricks in the book: distortion, feedback, plantation blues, the 1960s-Michigan riff terrorism of the Stooges and the MC5. Onstage, decked out like a peppermint dandy, he violates classic covers (Dolly Parton's "Jolene," Bob Dylan's "Isis") with fireball chords and primal, bent-string scream. He is also an acute orchestrator in the studio, stirring the scratchy-78s atmosphere of Blind Willie Johnson sides, 1970s punk and Led Zeppelin-style drama into his own howl. Don't pay attention to the notes; White is not a clean soloist. He's a blowtorch.

Jimmy Page
of Led Zeppelin

In the 1970s, there was no bigger rock group in the world than Led Zeppelin and no greater god on six strings than Zeppelin's founder-captain Jimmy Page. Nothing much has changed. The imperial weight, technical authority and exotic reach of Page's writing and playing on Zeppelin's eight studio albums have lost none of their power: the rusted, slow-death groan of Page's solo, played with a violin bow, in "Dazed and Confused," on Zeppelin's 1969 debut; the circular, cast-iron stammer of his riffing on "Black Dog," on the band's fourth LP; the melodic momentum and chrome-spear tone of his closing solo in Zeppelin's most popular song, "Stairway to Heaven." Page actually built Zeppelin's sound and might from a wide palette of inspirations and previous experience. In the early and mid-1960s, Page was a first-call studio musician in London, playing on Kinks and Everly Brothers dates and honing his production skills on singles for John Mayall and future Velvet Underground vocalist Nico. And before forming Zeppelin in London in the late summer of 1968 with singer Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and bassist John Paul Jones, Page had been the lead guitarist in the final lineup of the Yardbirds.

Who said VINYL was out of fashion ?

That is why i am seriously thinking about getting a record player, and start collecting vintage vinyl - maybe some Zeppelin - The Doors...and so many more:)

If you know were i can get some good Rock& Roll LP´ s .. on the internet/store...tell me PLEASE:)

Have a smashing music filled day.

Book:)

Hi:)

So i bought this book yesterday, and can´t wait to sink my teeth into it....

"An electrifying new biography about the four Essex lads who became award - winning stadium superstars and champions of synth pop".

Jonathan Miller´s groundbreaking book features in - depth interviews with founder member Vince Clarke and producers Gareth Jones and Mark Bell, and contains never - before - seen interviews with the band members themselves. 

With additional input from Gary Numan, Howard Jones and Thomas Dolby this is  a unique portrait of a   band that almost lost control when their lives went off the rails and lead singer Dave Gahan´s heroin addiction nearly killed him. 

In the end Depeche Mode not only survived they triumphed, racking up a staggering 40 million + album sales on the way.

Good one you boys:)

So peeps this is what i will be reading today, i will tell you how it is:)

Have an amazing day....
