Tom Dunne's Music & Me: The axe-men cometh, and they've got loads of effects pedals
J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr, and Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, are among the guitarists chatting about their effects pedals in The Pedal Movie.
Long before there were Man Sheds there were bands. Your band met all your mental health needs. It was like being in a gang. These guys had your back. There were tattoos, matching ‘colours’ you name it, it was pure LA Crips. But instead of attacking people, you played them really bad songs.
In each gang it was generally accepted that the drummer was the one to be wary of. They were only there to hit things. The drummer in the Commitments: avoid at all costs! Keith Moon in The Who: run away. The drummer in The Muppets: simply called Animal.
