Glenn Branca bustin out on a Tele!!

Branca was quite a fixture in the NY avant garde downtown scene of the late 70s early 80s. He bridged the gap into the modern classical scene later, but never gave up his love for fierce guitar (his 13th symphony , for example, is scored for 100 electric guitars).

Has done several orchestral works over the years.

That might be the worst thing I've ever heard

i rather like it myself, though the presentation feels a little schlocky, which devalues the musical statement itself a bit for me. But in terms of music as texture, timbre and physical impact, i appreciate this kind of work.

his d string sounded a tad sharp... other than that, it was just like the record.

nosuch · March 8th, 2011, 02:23 AM

blonde52 · March 8th, 2011, 04:13 AM

Sleph · March 8th, 2011, 05:41 AM

now that's just downright silly.

PeteMac · March 8th, 2011, 06:37 AM

Hmmmmmmm . . . .

interesting rhythmic devices.

DMAND · March 8th, 2011, 06:48 AM

Obviously, another generic influence on Joe Bonamassa.

As for me: I am going to learn this one note-for-note.

tuuur · March 8th, 2011, 07:18 AM

Where can I get the tabs for that?

tuuur · March 8th, 2011, 07:23 AM

Sounds like a concert for guitar, drugs and douchebag to me.

davenumber2 · March 8th, 2011, 11:46 AM

Mmm...catchy tune.

refin · March 8th, 2011, 11:51 AM

Let's see him play that standing still.........

Jim Flannery · March 8th, 2011, 11:57 AM

Oh, OK, he was just tuning up...........

As the Darling family would have said to Sheriff Andy, "That song makes me cry."

TeleAnthony · March 8th, 2011, 12:14 PM
