    "My favorite bands were the bands that were room-clearers anyway, so that was the pantheon that I wanted to be in." -Thurston Moore

    Thurston is really an underrated guitarist, the success hes done solo and through out the decades with sonic youth is hall of fame worthy. He's up there next to Kurt in my top 5 when it comes to vocals and riffs.

      I've changed the lyrics a bit to "fur rocket" for whenever my little dog jumps into my arms. I'll put my arms out and say fur rocket and he comes jumping up for me to catch him. Then I sing the part to him with fur rocket. Hahaha. It's good fun. I agree though, silver rocket is awesome. I really like Incinerate. My daughter is 10 and plays that song in standard tuning. Well 1/2 step down I think. I'll be starting a YT channel for her soon just to chronicle her progress. Anyways, yeah, SY is killer.

    This why Thurston is my freaking hero. I started playing around with alternate tunings and I always get the same reaction of thats cool but we cant play that, you cant play just normal... it gets old.

    • @daveronhertpark7134
      @daveronhertpark7134 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Same here. People look and say "dude, wtf, do something normal" or "oh, thats nice, but tune to standard now".
      Thing is I want to start a band but have not found anyone who plays in alternate yet

    • @punkinmyvitamins1
      @punkinmyvitamins1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I started a band (post hardcore/post punk vibe) with 4 guitars that all have different wacky tunings. I got lucky and found people who embraced that sound. Although the other guitarist only plays one guitar, and finds himself struggling to find something to do with what I play… haha.

    @MST3Killa 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Blues musicians back in the day took inspiration both from their own african cultural roots in terms of some timing but also from the Celt influence on bluegrass and country music prevalent at the time. Part of the reason their instruments held alternate tunings was simply because a lot of them weren't musically literate and didn't necessarily know what 'proper' tuning was (or it may have once been in tune but over time went out of tune). They often matched their own voices.

    Even though I'm a standard player, I love playing punk/grunge-type riffs in D & C# standard. I even like to go as deep as Drop A on occasion. In a way Sonic Youth encouraged me to embrace these different tunings & not just stick with the typical E & D# Standard.
    I would like to think that music doesn't always to be "standard", generally speaking. It can be a regular tuning or a series of power chords (as often is rock music), but it can be so much more than that as well. Sonic Youth went all the way with experimenting with tuning & its created an endless plethora of possible sound landscapes.
    For that, I tip my hat off to Sonic Youth for showing me that music doesn't have to fit that mold or any particular vibe that might appeal to the majority or an advertising agency. Nothing wrong if that's what you like, of course, but Sonic Youth pushed that potential to its ultimate limit ✨️
