- Hello and welcome to the channel. Tom Scholz the man behind the music and sound of the band Boston. Scholz blending of acoustic guitars with his distinctive electric guitar sounds, his use of harmonized lead guitar parts and the inventions that he created to capture the sound he heard in his head, changed rock music in the 70's. Scholz played guitar, bass and keyboards on the first Boston album. Come along as we take a look at the man behind the trademark Boston sound. Thanks for watching!
Musical genius indeed and what a character! He was and is not for sale to the corporate record companies.
Yeah he does things in his own way, in his own time. Thanks for watching.
I heard about Boston around 1978. And instantly loved their music. Today I’ve still got several Boston songs in my guitar playlist.
Boston definitely had two of the greatest first two albums. Thanks for the comment.
I don't care if everyone likes Eddie Van Halen---Tom Scholz is MY guitar hero! I like a guitar with such memorable melodic lines that you can whistle along to their solo---and Tom absolutely delivers every time! And his tone is OUT OF THIS WORLD!
He is definitely a great player, songwriter, producer, arranger and inventor.
I still love Boston as my favorite group to this day. It is sad that they did not become more popular. The legal issues that Scholz had unfortunately held them back and other issues with band members. They were never the same after Third Stage when Delp left. I did see them 95, 96 and 2017. They were fantastic. I was happy to see Delp in 95,96 as he was there for some of the songs. The 2017 was still good with their new vocalist Tommy DeCarlo. I know they are older but I do hope they tour again and will be glad to see them. Scholz is a genuis though and that cannot be overlooked!
Yeah they were/ are killer. I saw them a few years ago and they were sounding good. Thanks for watching.
Not only Tom Scholz is an immense guitar player...he is a great bass keyboard player as well as an engineer technician that have invented one of the most iconic guitar effect ever : The Rockman!
@user-du1yk7uk9v The Rockman most certainly is NOT a guitar effect. The Rockman was/is a guitar pre-amp with some signal processing onboard that could be plugged into a traditional guitar amp, plugged into the console as a pre-amp DI or used as a headphone practice amp.
@@neechee5150 hey I have one of these in good condition, do they worth anything these days?
@@GiantRock62 Yes-if they are in good shape and all original a Rockman can bring a decent price if you wanted to sell it. You might check e-bay to get an idea where that price is, but there is still a demand.
Scholz and Boston were amazing on those first two albums. They definitely changed the sound of rock. Delp's vocals were a huge part.
Thanks for watching and the comment.
The third album is WAY better than the second ...Third Stage is a masterpiece.
I put the headphones on in dark living room and dropped the needle on the first Boston album I was taken to another dimension as a young kid...that sound still takes young people to that dimension
Definitely one of the best albums ever.
One of the few albums that I can listen to without skipping a song. Led Zeppelin IV is another one.
Only on a vinyl..
on top of all that accomplishments Tom Scholz is one of those few artists that stood firm before the bullying of a record label. he engaged in a fight for his rights with CBS records and its aggressive president Walter Yetnikoff. after he successfully put the Rockman on the market he had the money to hire a top level attorney and he won the case against CBS. CBS had to pay him ten of millions ( rumored 70 mil ! ) and Scholz gave most of this money to various charities. that's who Tom Scholz is.
Thanks for watching and the comment.
Missed opportunity. Polaroid should have gone into synthesizers and music equipment.
