Questions of the day

1. What's your favorite artists/bands or favorite songs, and why?:)
2. Are there any books, ebooks or whatever who has helped you through your journey of songwriting?

1970-1982 ozzy-war pigs, mr.crowley, tonight, you cant kill rock n roll (basicly all the albums till randy died)
skynyrd-t for texas, call me the breeze, i know a little, trust,comn home (basically all their albums up till the crash)
pink floyd-dark side of the moon (the whole album), the wall (whole album), wish you were here (whole album)
grateful dead-love all their stuff... maybe uncle johns cabin, fire on the mountain
crosby stills and nash-whole first and second album
boston-whole first and second album
the who-all the standards uk..


no i never use books and stuff...

well, this is constantly changing, right now im really diggin dan mangan and his album 'postcards and daydreams' nice folk vibe, i really dig his work with Shane Koyczan(spoken word artist)

but i never have used books to help me with songwriting. I write about things i've experienced(mainly the more depressing things.) I tend to write deep sad music.

Led Zeppelin, but everyone could have guessed that. just their style of music and great combo of musicians in the band, they all compliment eachother. like a guitar and its guitar strap. haha.

Tom Morello, EVH, Hendrix. Why? Pure awesomeness.

What helped me through my songwriting journey? A whammybar, multi-effect pedal (and some random stompboxes), and the people on this site.
But, "This is only the beginning." Still alot to learn and experience though.

im really not crazy about tom morello. i think the "skill" he obtains could be done by a 3 year old tottler... to my knowledge he does a lot of pick slides harmonics with a lot of effects and stuff... but i dont listen to a lot of his stuff...
