gorch Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/lifestyle/walk-this-way/ The song hit me on the radio I think. As I knew the original and had my memories to it. I can’t recall I was happy when the rap starts in, but it takes you withing a few seconds with it’s energy. Against all odds, as it reads, Rubin not just implemented a crazy idea. He made it to the level of history. When I read the age of those guys, its even more crazy and astounding. My second son just started Music Technology Specialist bachelor. So, the article reads a bit special to me right now. If it will ever earn him enough for his living. It's all different today. And I’m not expecting anything. It will be interesting to see what he is going through and where it takes him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeboy Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I love how different the Perry riffing and solo are...so loose and sloppy compared to the original. Almost saggy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Prof Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I like Perry's tone on the Run DMC cover. Sounds like a 2203 or 2204. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a 2204, it does not sound as stiff as a 100 watter. But who's to know....?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Prof Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 A 2204 would be my guess due to the very slight sag but very pronounced upper mid-range. Quite Angus-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTMN Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Not sure if they have anything to do with one another but at about 1:15 and on there is a Red JCM 800 2204 like mine next to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Prof Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Love that red covered JCM 800; just badassery right there. Did he use one (or that one) on the recording? it's highly unlikely it was that one, but then it would have helped if Joe had actually plugged a cable into that amp during the video...

RobB Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 His tone sounds like a wet fart covered with moving blankets. What’s to love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamerhead Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 ^^^That's really funny! He did his bit for the Les Paul Tribute show with Buddy Guy and it sounded like an oooold hounddog and a mangy cat fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Prof Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 RobB, given your description of Joe's tone on that remake as flatulent, I would probably be amused to hear your opinion on Neil Young's tone formula of Ol' Black + goosed tweed Deluxe.

RobB Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 “Splatty.” Especially with that gawd-awful octave pedal. I like NYs tone. Sounds like the guitar is throwing up on itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeboy Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I hear the sagginess of the tweed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have liked the song from the first day on I heard it. And never cared on the particularness of the guitar tone. It nicely separates from the original.

Jakeboy Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The studio version guitars are just so tight. That is the only word that I can think of. Perry used a Maestro FZ1 fuzz pedal cause he wanted a “buzzsaw” tone. The RDMC version just sounds looser...he plays the riff differently too....at the end of the line he will hold the e note on the 4th string 2nd fret whereas on the studio verision he cuts it off pretty quick. I like em both too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
