Title: Three new Thundervids
Post by: Chris P. on May 26, 2008, 11:43:07 AM
Our VJ filmed a gig of ours yesterday, just for fun. Okay, the stage was too big, the drummer wws too far away, I had to play thru a bad amp (TE), I had an hangover, it was too early in the afternoon and we weren't moving that much, but there's a Bird in it:)

I had my headstock cam on, but I think there isn't any footage of that in those three new vids.

We just are Cream, but without (the qualities of) Clapton, Baker and Bruce.

;D

And you shouldn't try to be even if you could. There's a lot to be said for sparse arrangements and a sweet voice.

Thanks guys. We used to have an extra guitar player, but when he left, we decided to go on just the three of us. A lot of old songs are missing something, but new songs just have other dynamics and they're really written with the three of us in mind.
Our guitar player was the only person we could miss, but of course he added a lot of extras by doing all those licks and solos we're missing now.

I use a boost/overdrive (EHX English Muff'n) and an octaver (EHX microPOG) nowadays for some extra sounds.
