J. Mascis

Haha alltså J. Mascis (känd som låtskrivare, sångare och gitarrist i Dinosaur Jr) är ju bara för grym. Jag har precis läst en intervju från 1993 med honom och Kevin Shields i My Bloody Valentine.

På frågan Do you use a lot of pedals? svarar J såhär

JM: Live, I've been using Roger's wah to, like, kill people: step on it and watch people fall down. You always see people out in the audience sort of squinting.

Do you like that? Seeing them squint?

JM: Yeah, I do.

Haha. Nedanstående dialog om skivan So What Else is New är också ganska roande.

What about the orchestral tracks on the record?

JM: I thought this was Guitar World.

I think we can talk about what's around the guitar playing as well.

JM: So what's your question?

What made you decide to use an orchestra?

JM: A quartet.

A quartet then.

JM: I don't know.

I svaret på denna frågan går J loss med att dissa nya gitarrer :)

Are you into vintage stuff?

JM: Yeah, I refuse to buy anything past 1970. That really limits your choice of guitars; you waste more money.

JM: I like the necks on older guitars. They've been worn. Somebody's played it. It's like a baseball glove which somebody has broken in for you or something. And even though the old stuff is getting more expensive, it still can be cheaper than buying some hideous modern Nuno guitar. Modern guitars are just shit. I can't understand why anyone would want one. And I don't understand why having a guitar that is real easy to play is considered a good thing. I always thought it was bad--you start playing too fast.
