Ghent Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 To put it simply, We’re back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy. Summer 2009. Thanks and get ready. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

013bam Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 The thing that changed a lot for Tom (according to me) was changing signature guitars. The hollow body has more of a "spacey" tone, it resonates more. And that's how most ava songs work. The fender gives a more straightout, aggresive sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 14 hours ago, Rick Sanchez said: In Travis' biography, he said that he got Tom into post-hardcore bands like Fugazi (which apparently took a while, because Tom was originally narrow-minded and only listened to punk), which inspired BCR and subsequently self-titled. I agree with Ghent, self-titled is most similar to BCR. Not lyrically, but just how it sounds. Darker, harder and heavier, and the drums sound pretty similar in some songs. Whomever bought him that Joshua Tree album should be shot... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fender doing the magic through the proper rig. Well, in fact, Tom showed some Fenders on the Start The Machine DVD while recording We Don't Need To Whisper. And moreover, his "new" hollow body sounded like shit with that shitty setup he wore onstage with blink lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On record it doesn't count to me, it could be they used 20 different guitars and setups for one song, we don't know that. Riffs like the intro of feeling this (let one snare ring out and slide chords), i miss you, all of this... would have never been created without that guitar. And you are showing U2, they're known to go very far in guitar sounds. not Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, if you have paid attention to Tom lately, you'd see he had plenty of fancy stuff for guitar. The custom E-333 does not provide the "space" sound itself. Not in studio, neither on live setups. It's all about rig, basically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i meant to say was the guitar resonates more, so "chord-riffs" will sound a lot different on the gibson then on the fender. He probably also wrote a lot of the BCR songs on the red ES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Most BCR songs supposedly started out as acoustic, so that seems unlikely. Also, I don't think Tom started using the red ES-335 until fall 2002, well after the album came out (at shows, anyway... we can't know for sure what guitars he played in private). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong here, no need to call people idiots. I think i really have a point about the guitar, i'm just not good at describing what i think and translating it from dutch to english.

And as a guitar player, you may know that a hollow body -when using it through an electrig rig-, doesn't sound "a lot different" than a solid body guitar. In fact, it sounds almost the same, and it's really hard to say if you don't see the guitar itself. Moreover, when the pick-ups are 'grabbing' the strings' vibrations to translate them to the cabinet, you're not getting the wood "box" resonance from the body, so... You can perceive, maybe, the difference on cleaner tones, but not as the way Tom uses it. On the other hand, Tom admitted himself he wrote almost every song (from Enema to BCR) on acoustic guitar.

I'm sure the guitar and type of wood makes a huge difference on how guitars sound (owned a hollow body, got rid of it) Sorry for sounding like a smartass, but i'm sure i have a point here.
