This is just… it’s him going kitchen-sink crazy. And the lick sounds like a damn horse in a full sprint. It’s from the first record, his tone’s a little more ragged, and has a lot more to prove.

The guitar’s totally out of tune by the end, which would absolutely never happen now, unless it was an actual affectation.This is what ‘going for broke’ sounds like, to me.

No one else has ever captured what he has, with more money, better gear, bigger budgets, diplomas from Shredder Universities…Forget it.

FORGET IT!

PS: "Unchained," same deal:

Apparently, the eagerly-awaited collaboration between Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal) and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin, and… friggin’ Led Zeppelin) has leaked onto the Internetz. In response, the band is streaming the entire thing on YouTube. So, if you are as curious as I was about what these three warhorses would sound like chained to one another, well, here ya go.

The self-titled debut will officially release on November 17th and one track, “Mind Eraser, No Chaser,” is now available as a free iTunes download.

Someday robots will be perfected, and future generations will never know how creepy they once were. Their dead eyes and unconscious gestures will seem quaint and obvious, and not the terrifying existential threat they presently are.

Till then, there’s Japan, birthplace of the new singing machine called the HRP-4C, featuring "Yamaha’s voice synthesis technology ‘Vocaloid.’" From its look, and its sound, it’s probably safe to assume that Kanye’s already hit on it.

I think this list in Sound and Vision magazine is a bit ’70s and ’80s oriented, but that is both the era of the epic and the era of the album, so I let it slide. Regardless of time frame, you probably should know #1 without looking….
