Members gainfreak Posted July 28, 2006 Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 Originally posted by fetishfrog Please...I wouldn't at all be surprise to find that every Vernon basher on here is whining in some other thread that all the good music is gone and where are the innovators and blah blah blah. Go study some theory, listen to Reid's incredible playing, hear the summation of Coltrane, Hendrix, and the funkiest {censored} y'all could never play and embrace the fact that you have witnessed grace. The guy's a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it stop. You should really post a warning with that About Vernon's playing. Not my cup of tea at all, but they wrote some great songs. I remember when Stained came out and they were on Letterman they sounded amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V-Type Posted July 28, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 All this Genius talk is too closely associated with Guiness In my mind and I think Ill have a 12 pack come to think of it.Freezer cold Guiness =Vernon Reid Genius = Good but not Genius IMO. Now off to the beer store gents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rambleon223 Posted July 28, 2006 Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 I like the chaotic mood/feel Reid acheived in the Cult of Personality solo. So what if all the notes aren't crystal clear and all in one (or "the right") key? I also saw him on a session of Studio Jams on BET jazz and liked the stuff he was playing there too. Different strokes I guess........ * edit to add that genius might be a stretch but he's certainly not a hack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nick fury Posted July 28, 2006 Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 Originally posted by gainfreak Yeah not to mention when he went a half step up out of key and corrected himself which reafirms my beilief that he just wings his {censored}ing solos. To each their own I guess. I love the band but his solos blow donkey dick IMHO.I'll have to pick up his solo album that Ed mentioned. Dude... I take it you haven't heard much jazz in your lifetime? I half step displacement is almost a cliche, it's a very common move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members peavey_impact Posted July 28, 2006 Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 I love Vernon's rhythm playing and fills, but I would agree his solos are mostly fast wanking. I do think the CoP solo kind of adds this intense aggression to the song though.The thing I like about him most are those custom Hamers :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
