Members Brainfertilizer Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 I caught on that he was kind of an inside joke reference, but I wasn't sure why. Then I googled, found and read an interview with him. Holy crap! The guy had to be an inspiration for Nigel Tufnel, as far as having faily elementary ideas/abilities, but talking about his music philosophy as if he was Socrates on Guitar.

Members sk8centilli Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 I don't get it. I don't get the reverence nor the hate. Because of this thread, I googled an interview with him and found this one: http://www.famousinterview.ca/interviews/paul_dean.htm He seems normal to me. Who can fault a guy that's "Working For The Weekend"? I can't. [video=youtube;rutArtds6r8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rutArtds6r8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alecto Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 Paul Dean and Mike Reno made love after every show. Just look at the love in their eyes. Oh yeah, you can totally see Mike checking out Paul's ass in the intro. All that side, the drummer's got the most hilarious faces. And Mike Reno dances like a constipated bear.

Members Mav64 Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 The only thing I ever really noticed about Paul Dean is that he seemed to be at least 10 years older than anyone else in the band. He looked old even back in the day. Kind of like Mick Mars in MC.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brainfertilizer Posted January 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 Sorry for not including the link.Here it is. The part that I laughed out loud at: In the key of A I might do some licks around the open fifth string, and on the G String around the 2nd fret. Then I'd probably move up to the standard A chord at the 5th fret, top four strings {sings A C# E A}. In that positon I like to bend the D on the third string. 7th fret, up to E, and the G on the second string, 8th fret up to A. Then I'll play with my 1st finger on the A at the 10th fret second string, and work around that. There I would bend the A and the B on the second string, as well as the E on the first string up to high G. I like to bend the fifth up to the flatted seventh a lot. I just play out of the blues scale. Q. What kind of rhythm chords work best?A. I usually just play chords that have a root, a fifth, and a root, from low to high. If we get too far away from that sound, people raise their eyebrows and think that something sounds weird. I'm really comfortable with those, because there are a lot of variations you can do--and those are different feels, rhythms, and spaces that you can use. Muting the strings with my right hand has a lot to do with getting different sounds with that type of chord. But maybe I'm being too harsh...

Members tvvoodoo Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 I thought is was honest, from a workingman guitarist. I laughed when he said himself, that guitar solos are boring. the band was just on the edge of minor stardom at this point. I always thought he was pretty talented, even the streetheart stuff. good arrangements/hooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of context, I'd SWEAR it was a 15 year old giving that interview. No, the article says he's 37. There's nothing wrong with playing root-fifth power chords all the time but PLEASE don't try to become "the theory guy" if that's all you have to say. This guy is so high on his horse, he makes it sound like he INVENTED palm-muting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fu2jobu Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 This guy is so high on his horse, he makes it sound like he INVENTED palm-muting. I'm not seeing it. He makes 2 passing comments about palm muting and nothing there suggests to me that he thinks he invented it. If you want to hear someone on a high horse check out some of the Malmsteen interviews.

He looked old even back in the day. Kind of like Mick Mars in MC.. That's because like Mick Mars, he is really about 10 years older than the rest of his bandmates. Bon Scott, had the same situation in AC/DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
