  7. Did you notice that every 30 seconds there's an epic change? And it's growing every time? But when Steve apears for the first time, he breaks the rule and now the changes are every 15 secs!! What a perfect song!

  11. As an old timer I can hear quite a few tones and methods from older guitar players like Lifeson,Satriani,and even in Vai's part the blip blip blip is a thing Beck would do ( God rest his soul) the bridge pickup is very close to the strings, you hit the pole with the string… All these techniques are done in the past and people improve on them,change them a little and make a new version their own.. Well done.

  37. No doubt of the technical talent or sense of style. Half of your new album are collaborations. There’s many reasons to do them (1) cross-promotional efforts (2) got stuck in a rut with your own ideas and wanted to tap into other energies to get going again or a combo with (3) in service of what is popular in the market’s moment over the music. Some say they rarely collaborate to talk themselves up but when you look at their discography there’s at least a dozen collabs. I don’t think it’s to expand creativity I think it anesthetizes it. When you really consider singular greats historically, in terms of classical composers (Beethoven…feat. Mozart, Liszt feat. Chopin lmao) to today (Sade, Selena, think what anyone will of Enya, she dgaf in her castle) they have a real irreplaceable aura (sycophantic Stans throw a lot of words around like “legend” “icon” etc. tirelessly but it’s a meaningless joke considering where it’s coming from). It’s because the only collab you can hope to get is remixing/sampling them. It’s because they safeguard their energy ridiculously & the reason it genuinely resonates is because it’s an extremely intimate process with/within the artist themselves. When they share it with the audience it feels almost wrong but fascinating to be let into such an intimate world. The collab atmosphere that’s red hot in today’s music market is like casual open sex vs committed devotion to the music of other artists whose processes are so intimate they can’t let anyone except their chosen musicians they work with to craft their vision/expression. It’s the equivalent of tagging someone on IG but in music, clout obsessed, and grossly overrated. I think all the collabs just stunted you from real growth in the process, a creative avoidance. It works in the short term for sure, as such “IG tags” help sell your signature guitars or whatever. Sure, remember you must die, but only time will tell when the music dies with you or is immortalized through your works.

  38. It’s always the older gen afraid of falling out into obscurity and not willing to push the intimacy of their own process or with themselves and do new things who are desperate to take a shortcut and tap the new rising stars to gain clout that way (it serves both as it seems like the new band has their “blessings”) and frankly it doesn’t make me respect either any more…but it certainly works with how social media clout building works
