      @@blackstars14 I much prefer Radiohead (as my favourite band since forever) although over the last few years I've revisited Blur and actually appreciate their stuff. Coxon seems to be the naturally more talented guitarist. That isn't to say that Mr Greenwood isn't a raw talent, more that he excels in inventiveness and sound creation. His recent delay technique is brilliant for example.

    I was living in London and working as a guitarist. One day the band I was in had a gig at Worlds End Camden, sometime 1989,1990…we were to share the bill with an unknown band called Blur. We played first, played well, were well received. It was a singer from LA signed to Warners, yada yada, we played and then came Blur….it was powerful,mesmerizing and full of amazing music. They well deserve all that they achieved. Graham had a Tele and a Vox if my memory serves me well and sounded really good.

I have to give my son credit for turning me on to the Guerillas - and TPS for Graham/Blur. Boy, did I miss out. Oh, and Pulp is the band I always needed in my life that I did not have. Saw them live last weekend with my son. He's a good lad! I would have never known to go. Life changing. I finished my pedalboard today during this episode and it rocks (GigRig power and a QMX-6).
