Caevan O’Shite Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Hey, yeah, welcome, KenLeeX! My sporadically, occasionally dyslexic mind made me read your name as "KleeenX" the first time! (Sorry, I just thought it was funny...) I'm not too far away, here in Watkins Glen in the Southern Tier end of the Finger Lakes region of New York State. I used to live closer, up in Rochester, and spent some time in Fort Drum (up near Watertown) as well. Went to Kingston and the outlying area when I was a kid in the Summer of '76 or '77, too. Click here to go to a past thread that (I hope) you'll find good for a laugh! (Scroll down and read the whole thing; then scroll back to the top to read what the thread started out being about!) So... what kinda music do ya dig, and what kinda guitar(s)? And how's the local music scene in your corner of Canadia?

batterypowered Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Hello Canadian! I'm in Moncton, well, Riverview, technically. Nova Scotians should know where that is. For the rest of you, it's four hours East of Bangor, Maine. I've been travelling the Maritimes for the past year, since I met the love of my life from New Brunswick, and now I'm in the beginnings of the process of comtemplating thinking about possibly moving at a future date. Ok, I'm moving, soon. For now, most of my guitars are at my house in Pennsylvania. All I have here is a Guitalele and a mandolin. Poor me indeed. twoblock.net batterypowered.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave da Dude Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I'm a Guitarist/Songwriter from Canada...Great Site..Very informative !! I agree, great, informative! BTW, my mind also read it as Kleenex at first too. Maybe you should clean up your name. Just kiddin' Maybe if you explained the "roots" of the name? Liked you list of the "Top Ten" too. Hey, bluestrat, I was just reading an article of "The Top 50 Albums Every Guitarist Should Own" and Ozzy's "Blizzard" was number one. Is it really that good? Would I be able to listen to it without puking at the thought of downing a live mouse? Dave Gotta' geetar... got the amp. There must be SOMEthing else I... "need".

Blue Strat Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 You should be able to listen to it. Randy Rhoads is awesome on that album (I've got it on vinyl, so it is an album to me! ). Highlights: 1) I Don't Know 2) Crazy Train 3) Goodbye to Romance 4) Suicide Solution 5) Mr. Crowley If you survive that one and want more, go with Diary of a Madman BlueStrat a.k.a.

Gabriel E. Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Welcome! Glad there's one more Nova Scotian on the board. There seems to be some strong Maritime representation here for some reason. Maybe we're just more musically inclined than other Canadians. Saw that Bruce Jacobs played on your record. He was a pretty ubiquitous presence in HFX when I was growing up. He also was involved in the Canadian Conservatory (above Music Stop) where I took lessons. Blast from the past! Some more recomendations: -Anything by Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West -Van Halen - "1984" -Living Colour - "Vivid" -Joe Pass - "Virtuoso" -Metallica - "Master of Puppets" -The Charlie Hunter Quartet - "Natty Dread" "You never can vouch for your own consciousness." - Norman Mailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennyf Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Ah, so you're Nova Scotian! Greetings and welcome! Sayin' you're from Canada covers a lot of territory. My girlfriend's from Newfoundland, the only time I've been to Nova Scotia was to make connecting flights in Halifax, but I'd love to go there just to see the province. I'm diggin' the Irish Decendants, the Punters and of course Great Big Sea. Is that the vibe of maritime province music in general, or just Newfoundland?

Blue Strat Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Originally posted by Guitarzan: gotta love the maritimes. Been there, done that. I really liked Halifax and Lunenburg. Peggy's Cove was really beautiful the day we went out to the lighthouse. The Citadel was an awesome sight! But, towards the end of the week it started to rain and got downright cold when we took the Digby Ferry over to St. Johns. Oh, and I love the local seafood favorite - Fish & Chips!

The chjevy's are pretty big too. Need 'em for the snow. . . Couldn't resist. The "Rock" is beautiful in it's way, the people are GREAT! And George St. in St. John's has to be experienced at least once. I've been officially "Screeched" in and am looking forward to going back again. Which reminds me of the following: The Canadian government, in an effort to determine the most frequent cause of fatalities in SUV's and 4X4 pickups mandated the installation of devices similar to airplane voice cockpit recorders. In practically all of Canada, they discovered the last words of most drivers was either "Oh my God!" or "Oh shit!" However, in Newfoundland, the most common last words were "Hold me beer an' watch dis!" band link: bluepearlband.com music, lessons, gig schedules at dennyf.com STURGEON'S LAW --98% of everything is bullshit.

Grimmer Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Originally posted by bluestrat: Ummm... You left out a few: 2) System of a Down - Toxicity Now, wait just a minute. Your number one hailed Dimebag...fair enough, your number three hailed Dave Mustain and Marty Friedman, but you really think that the number two position goes to .........DARON MALAKIAN? Honestly, i am tired of the hype surrounding this guys playing, I really don't see it as all that spectacular. Yes, I love the music but his progressions and style is but-plug simple to say the least, and he needs to get some better melody lines in there somewhere. I don't know, what do you guys think of Daron Malakian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMcGuitar Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Hi there! And welcome aboard! I missed your original "handle". When I saw Caevan's post, I thought it said "Kleenex" too... I'm guessing the "YYZ" reference is a nod to Rush - I've always dug that tune!
