Re: Vernon Reid's rig rundown - WTF
actually you're right, we share the same opinion. I loooove those rundowns with Rebecca... she's very easy on the eyes too, besides being a great interviewer, asking important and interesting questions. Perry is so annoying, you're right. I'm into metal and it sucks how he always interrupts the artist, like he knows it better.... and sometimes the artist forgets to say stuff like string gauges and picks (which is kind of important to me) and perry never seems to ask for that. It sucks. Also, I noticed they sometimes don't even show the amp settings anymore, really annoys me too.

I've heard that too. If I remember correctly, he's pretty much always had a huge spaceship rack.

I love Living Colour, but his rig seems like excess for excess sake, but WDIK... I just picked up a GT-100 cheap to try it and see if I could replace my pedalboard. I can get some good sounds out of it, even the amp models are better that the older GTs I tried, but I hate programming.
@Jolly, I'm guessing he doesn't pay for much of his equipment, maybe that's the problem, someone gave me this, I need to work it into my rig.

I used to follow her on Twitter but then she disappeared. Her account was even deleted. I know she left to go do the thing with Tone Report Weekly but she had a kid and just *poof*. I hope she's teaching her kid how to rock out.
I miss Rebecca Dirks, too. Sure, she was/is a babe, but she knew her stuff. She was a gear nerd like us and you could throw her a curveball as far as gear and she would know what it was.

We didn't forget, we just didn't think it was a very good joke.

I think i read somewhere that she didn't even play. She just got a job for PG and learned all she could.

She posted a picture of her rig and a couple of her guitars on twitter. She'd do the ocassional "OMG! WANT!" posts.

Re: Vernon Reid's rig rundown - WTF
"Cult of Personality" greatest chance ever to rip an amazing solo, yet completely sh!t all over the song. It's still a good solo for what it is. I couldn't have done anything close to what he did, but I still feel that he could have completely ripped on that solo and made it make sense. To me it's just gibberish, but then again, 85% of my own solos are gibberish.

Jazz IS organized chaos and they're Very good at the confusing ( not opinion - just fact )
In that Song though , He did a great job Not to sound like the rest of the Pack at the time . Considering the piece, Glover, Mode, His Style, Ax, Gear & Overall Sound Definitely forge it in as Rock-n-Roll . ( Any use of so-called jazz Passage, Mozarty, Bachy, Phrygian , Lydian or ANY Other mode of Runs/Chops/Licks in the Soloing ~ Doesn't pull Any part of the song away from Rock ( as we all know Rock pulls from Everywhere ~ Fusion ) . like my friend Lynch and Us do , always try to come up with licks and Sounds that are original to ourselves even though We all learned mostly from everywhere else ~ Originally (in the beginning).
I thought about the comments made above and the Song , if U Think about the nature of all of the Staccato & Changes used and the overall vibe ~ He may have overworked the Notes a bit but , I think He did a cool job. Lynch does the same thing on occasion, as well : )
