Totally agree. Lanegan has contributed much to the music world. I think he might have been a damaged, self-centred arsehole though. He certainly left a trail of destruction, according to his own autobiography.
Gary is a good guy and I think Mark actually had respect for him. At first they probably had a rocky beginning, but when they made Sweet Oblivion Mark actually talks highly of Gary. In Barrett Martins book he expresses how surprised he was when he read what Mark wrote about Gary. Barrett thinks Gary is great guitar player and a good friend.
Basically a fuzz face 2 transistor circuit with germanium diodes on the output for extra fuzz/gain. Most new schematic leave these off. Steve was an interesting dude. ❤
100%. Page after page of Lanegan's book reads like a compendium of wasted potential and squandered opportunities, just so he could keep getting fcuked up. And he knew it. No denying the man's talent, but he comes off as a selfish prick with an enormous chip on his shoulder.
Loved this interview. Very cool to hear Lee's perspective on some Trees stories, especially having read Mark Lanegan's and Barrett Martin's books. I grew up in the Tree's hometown of Ellensburg and always looked up to those guys.
This came up for me in a google search. This was the first video hit for the search somehow. I saw the date and had to watch. I love this and I'm glad its still up. This is an important piece of Internet history. Thanks for continuing to rock, even though Myspace isnt what it used to be. 🤘🏼
Fantastic interview. The Screaming Trees/Das Damen/Superchunk at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit 1991 were basically my first concert past Detroit Symphony Orchestra performances in my teen years. The Trees did an in-store appearance at the time of their 1991 concert at Neptune Records in Royal Oak, MI. I still have my (blue vinyl) LP of Buzz Factory signed by Van, Lee Conner and Mark Lanegan from then. Thanks for this interview.
There simply was no making Mark happy. He had a grudge against the world and everything in it from the get-go. From the tone of his book, he pegged Gary as some mama's boy weirdo basement dweller, when in reality Gary's songwriting was Marks "ticket out" of the small town he so hated. Trees were a great band - the best thing that came out of the Seattle scene in the early-mid 90's, IMHO and Gary seems like a cool, approachable guy in this interview. I'd love to hear some new stuff he's been working on.
Funny, the album they considered crap is one of, if not my favorite recordings of all time. A masterpiece. The way Mark spoke about Gary in his book was bullshit. Mark seemed like the dick bag.
I had just listened to Lanagan's audiobook and I'm in the middle of Barrett Martin's book about his time in the Trees, and I kind of get those same vibes. I think the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Because remember, Van didn't want Gary in the band at first. There was a reason for that. And in both books, there are some stories where Lanagan comes off as real self-centered and didn't fully appreciate the opportunity he had at that time.
I’ve listened to Marks and Barrett Martins biographies and it’s interesting to hear them talk about their relationships with Lee. Mark sounds like he couldn’t stand Lee, but Barrett describes him as a nice guy, amazing song writer, and an essential part of the Screaming Trees. After watching this interview I have to say I think Barrett’s point of view is more of an accurate portrayal.
Lee is a cool dude. I have always been a fan of his guitar playing and his energy on stage. Glad he is still happily married and doing fine. Keep rocking Lee!!!
The trees are one of my favs. They just rock. I did concert security at that paramount show he was talking about. They rocked it. Then saw them again at emp. Another good show. They were great live. Im glad i saw them live. They just rock i always play em in a bar.
I grew up with record being a synonym for album, a collection of songs available on various media. Vinyl was one of the (and the predominant) media options. I think this slowly changed through the 90's, as CDs became predominant.
You make a good point, a lot of it is probably either what you grew up with or just what its called in your social circle. Thanks for your perspective.
This aint bad. I love the legend of that statue too. A lot of mystery surrounds it thats for sure. The song sounds great as well. Im not sure what genre it is. I wanna guess maybe goth rock
Appreciate you having a listen. To be honest I’m not sure what genre it is. I just wrote and recorded it without thinking too much about it. This is what we got. lol
