I don’t like this either, and I’m a huge D.L. fan ! The way he acts ( drunk?) shouting “ Marco Polo” , how he plays the guitar, .. gives me the creeps. fortunately he is seldom like this!
I liked his playing. Going for soul and feel rather than red hot chops. Nice tone and great bare fingers technique. Reminded me of Neil Young in places.
That small mirror attached to the Melbourne console is legendary 0:53. Keeping an eye in real time of whats happening with artists and positioning behind himself and the engineer. Love DL.
You can tell he's pretty inspired by Neil Young... his guitar is like a Neil-Young-caster, similar vintage Les Paul with a firebird pickup, P90 and bigsby same as Neils, just minus the amateur black overcoat making Neils 'Old Black'.
Lanois raw and uncut. Love it. Obviously a lot of bedroom warriors in this comment section obsessed with "chops" of which they probably have little. Funny.
Daniel Lanois is a legend. A French Canadian, he produced the best of the U2 albums (his influence is clearly heard on The Joshua Tree and The Unforgettable Fire). He's worked with the best of the best, and he's an accomplished artist in his own right. So, if he wants to fuck around in his L.A. mansion on his vintage instruments (that he can afford because he's earned it) and be a bit eccenteric, that's fine. Just being in that room and letting the sounds of that vintage AC30 and Les Paul wash over you would have been a delight, no matter what you were playing. A lot of smug, petty wankers on here who obviously know nothing about music if they don't know who Lanois is.
Right? Just because you guys don't dig it doesn't mean he isn't a very renowned player. He may have been a little drunk or something here but go listen to his work. He is a great player and it's funny how there are a billion shred players out there who can't write a decent album. He may be a little sloppy but at least he has his own style.
LOL "truth serum".... that definitely looks like a grappa glass. And I bet that the serum was good white grappa :-)) All of which obviously turns into Monster Sound & Vibes!!
The Portuguese make the best tasting firewater ( agua ardente, grappa) the one I like is the one made from Wild lychees fruit ( I grew up in Portugal) which is distilled at least 10 times ( about 75% pure ) . When you drink it slowly it is a smell and taste that is smooth and woody. Too bad only available in the Portuguese Stores. Tried the Italian Grappa total shit. Every Village in Portugal makes their own wine and distills their own alcohol. Good luck getting the LCBO there LMFAO.
1) "Wild leeches" as in sanguessuga?!? Eek! 2) What kind of grappa did you try? Way to easy to comment "total shit"... 3) From the way Daniel drinks his grappa I would doubt that it's anything like 75% proof ;-)
Wild "lychees" fruit I used to eat many of those from the forests there. Was always getting yelled at by the old dudes to not eat them hahaha In portuguese "aguardente de medronho" is probably one of the finest . However the industrial version does not taste the same. We bring some bottles from overseas when on Vacation. Here is the fruit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbutus_unedo
Well to me I hear naturally lot's of Hendrix there then comes the "Wilder" by the Troggs ( R.l.P. Reg Presley who died yesterday.) and then I hear some Steve Howe from the Yes Album but the main thing naturally are these 3 little puppies the Vox AC 30's that does that fat sound! and Paplo as well (hehe) or what ever the sound egineers name was!
Lanois is an O.G. at trolling and it seems some of you fell for it. He was just auditioning amps to record someone else. Listen to him play the steel, then close your mouth and go practice.
+Kimon Matara LOL. rookie mistake. surprised you haven't heard of Daniel Lanois... he's a musical genius. aside from his own brilliant music spanning multiple decades; he produced U2's "The Unforgettable Fire" album. launched them into the stratosphere. check out his Premiere Guitar Rig Rundown. master of the lap-steel. there's so much more to him than this deliberately grungey atonal work-out.
+Coldacre I think conflating interesting sound with interesting music is the rookie mistake. This stuff isn't "atonal". It's just jerkily played blues chords. His lap-steel is the same sort of thing. Just cleaner, and with tons of delay. But hey, I'm sure he's a great sound engineer.
+Kimon Matara It must be really tough when talents such as yourself whom no one outside of your immediate family and friends have heard of have to witness lesser mortals getting the breaks
Daniel, I've been in love with you for a thousand years. The guitar sounds great, but you sound terrible! I can hear you struggling to breathe when you walk across the room. Bless your heart. Keep moving and creating. From the most selfish of us.
+PC160 I think he's just enjoying himself pulling different sounds out of his gear.I didn't hear him announce he would play for you the type of solo you wanted to hear.
Kimon Matara manners, dont got anything nice to say dont say nothing, golden rule,the internet has been around long enough to make ppl rude and heartless,and coming from nobody's with jealous hearts,poor fucks
