Wow. Thanks again, this is all very precious information! I'll take good note of all of that. Girls And Boys : are we talking of the settings for the main riff's flanger bit ( F chord strummed), or the high-pitched lick in the ending? I always thought Chemical World was through a vibrato, not a flan...

a boring run through of some uninteresting classics. :shock: Wow. I wouldn't call Reach Out I'll Be There uninteresting... An epic Motown standard, imho, though in the Jaded Hearts' version, Matt Bellamy (or whoever holds the bass) completely messes up the bass part (but how could you possibly top ...

Thanks so much for all this information. :o Recently bought a BF-2 and need to play with it a bit more but pretty sure I've worked out Girls and Boys, Popscene and Chemical World settings (which is definitely a flanger by the way and not the VB-2). I can put these up if anyone is interested? Yep, I'...

I think Stephen Street used the old trick of recording two acoustic tracks and panning then hard left and right to give that stereo spread. That's indeed what's done on For Tomorrow , and can clearly be heard on the acoustic version that was published as a B-side. I recently bought a DD Boss pedal,...

Happy to share what I’ve learned regarding his 90s electric guitar tones, particularly when he played live if anyone is interested?

Go ahead!

And nice for the temp guitarist dude from RHCP, clearly likes the song as he seem to represent it well

"Temp" = 10 years spent in RHCP?

I'll vote for Superfast Jellyfish.

The annoying thing with Song 2 when it gets covered is the guitar part, really. I've seen dozens of bands play it, and not once have I seen the guitarist nail the part right; everyone seems to consider it's like a basic US punk song for the kids, only power chords tadatada, whereas Graham really cam...

It's because it sounds like Gorillaz!

It could indeed be an explanation, and also to the fact that I consider it the weakest track on The Magic Whip.

Don't Bomb was intentionally released with no indication that it was actually by Blur, with this whole "white label" thing. I wouldn't call it a single. From what I recall, it nicely added some confusion to the questions of activity and musical direction of the band in that period, perhaps delibera...

"Heal me" would definitely fit more to a gospel song.

Weren't The Departure supporting Graham when I saw his gig in Hammersmith Palais in 2004 or 2005? My recollection of them was that of a quite showy band...

Hey, very interesting! I'll be trying that. Thanks!

I know it's also the DD-3 with a similar configuration he uses on On Your Own for the brrrrlllll thingy, but there he only triggers it with a dead note, so that could explain the different tone he gets.
