Members JacieFB Posted July 27, 2007 Members Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'm not really clear on what you mean by "one-note" performances, but the one-note solo on "I Wanna Be Sedated" by The Ramones is classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BEAD Posted July 27, 2007 Members Share Posted July 27, 2007 I played a show with a band that just droned a single note for their entire set. I don't remember the name of the band though. Fun show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BEAD Posted July 27, 2007 Members Share Posted July 27, 2007 Yeah I've listend to them a few times It seems like they just down tune to like A and drop their {censored} and walk away. Which albums? I have white1, black1 and flight of the behemoth and all of them have a slow pace... but they all use tend to be riff oriented and usually go in a descending scale of some sort. One of my buddies saw a band called Growing and says they actually just downtuned, dropped their {censored} and walked away. They had a bunch of random noise generation effects onstage though, so the set had some variety. I saw them and they played a more traditional drone set. I was a little disappointed, but it was still a great show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"slowcore" that's two new genre categories for me today. The other was robotcore. robotcore. that's right, robotcore. robotcore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Robin Posted July 27, 2007 Members Share Posted July 27, 2007 When we opened for Sabbath on the Mob Rules tour, I walked in front of Geezer's rig (on the floor, not the stage) at soundcheck, he hit a short burst and almost knocked me over ...

Members dravenzouk Posted July 27, 2007 Members Share Posted July 27, 2007 Andy Summers' guitar solo in "When the World is Running Down" - perfect, shows how effective a minimalist approach can be. That piano thing in the movie "Eyes Wide Shut" - frickin' terrifying. It just tenses you right up. I once saw Glenn Branca do a performance that had something like 12 electric guitars and a drummer. One piece was essentially just a balls out noise drone for 15 or 20 minutes. It was absolutely awesome. I was completely transfixed and didn't even realize what was happening. The piece ended abruptly and when it did I pitched forward in my seat and gasped for air - I hadn't even realized that during the piece I was holding my breath, my whole body was completely tensed, I was sweating heavily (just sitting down!), and my jaw was clenched. When it stopped with no warning, there was just this huge release as I "came up for air". Wow.......art. That was probably twenty five years ago and it's still today one of the most memorable and intense musical experiences ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FloydianAnimal Posted July 27, 2007 Members Share Posted July 27, 2007 The intro to "Runnin' With The Devil" by Michael Anthony of VH has got to be one of the more memorable one note bass riffs edit: oh yea, and for more Floyd isn't "One Of These Days" only one note with a bunch of delay all over it multi-tracked?

'One of These Days' goes up a fourth (and back down) 'Careful With That Axe Eugene' goes up a minor third (in Eb minor!) but 'Tomorrow Never Knows' is just C throughout!

Members lug Posted July 27, 2007 Members Share Posted July 27, 2007 In "The Fish" by Yes, there are umpteen bass lines going at once. One of them is a great run that ends with a distorted note that just holds till the end of the song. That is my favorite "one note". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
