Wait, what now? Video? I don't want to derail this thread too much but I gotta see that. Haha. I don't listen to the radio. I'm a snob. But you don't like Radiohead? Really? Not even a little bit?
Oh my. I even watched the ones of him actually playing and they are indeed terrible. I love the comment "tabs please". LOL!
Though, I do like his deep lyrics. I often wonder what to do with my hands while at concerts. I usually just have them in my pockets...

Hey Phen and fellow music-makers! Dan here.
I've been playing more drums than guitar lately, but I'm playing both roles (not simultaneously
) in support of a little group at our temple. Yeah, one of the strangest gigs I've had so far.
I've got a red PRS Santana SE model as my primary axe, a black Ovation Applause and... wait for it.... an Ibanez Jem 777 DY (not the 7 string, but the Desert Yellow w/ disappearing pyramid inlay & monkey grip). Looks just like this one:
Just using a small Roland Cube 30 with a stand and dual foot switches these days. It doubles as my monitor and I just mic it if I need to. BOSS chromatic tuner foot pedal is it for me, I don't use any other pedals anymore.
Music-wise, I love Rush and Dream Theater, RATM, Zep, SRV and most blues/rock, some Alt/Punk bands and a broad mix of old school hip-hop, classic rock/metal, merengue (WHAT?!?) and other NON-country genres.
For some reason my latest obsession has been a little-known punk group out of Wyoming, "Teenage Bottlerocket". Previous iteration of the band was "The Lillingtons". Very few hits from these guys, but I now know and like almost every song they ever did. Here's a quick sampling:
Despite the extreme simplicity of composition and soloing, I just can't get enough of the incredible speed of the down-picking required in these songs (not strummed!) Also note the drummer is playing the hi-hat sixteenth notes SINGLE handed (well, cut time eighth notes, but who's counting?).

Yeah, the Steve Vai GEMs come that way. I have Floyd rose Trems on about 5 guitars and love them. They require much more work and patience, but it's worth it for me. I had the Dimazrzio PAF Pro in my Ibaznez, pretty good neck pickup. I also put the Dimarzio Super3 in the bridge. Sorry to hear about the patina
i'll give radiohead the "best of the worst" award... i can deal with their music if somebody else is playing it, but it would never be on my ipod. just not my stylee
i mean, my roots stem from a melodic death metal band in which i played guitar... so i can listen to the likes of suicide silence, the acacia strain, august burns red, and all types of metal variants (i love metal-style guitar) to the pop-punk i grew up on (saves the day, blink & even modern stuff like four year strong) to some-what "emo" (taking back sunday/all time low) to alternative (REM/Weezer/foo fighters) to the classics (acdc/queen/beatles/doors/aerosmith/zeppelin/pearl jam, the list goes on) to reggae (i go to the caribbean every year, so island music is native to me) so bob and damian marley to REAL hip-hop... NAS is my favorite, hands down.
definitely open minded, i just can't stand generic rock andor annoying vocalists... also ambient/lack of a structure s*** in a song...
