Melbourne based guitarist looking for band.

polyphloisboian  said about 2 years ago  or at  6:01PM on Tuesday, April 26 2011 in classifieds

I'm an out of action guitarist looking to be back in action.
Improv ability : yes
Tech ability : yes
Gear : fuck yes
Car : yes

I'm free to play all nights and days depending on shifts given by work. Basically I'm free all nights from 6-7pm. I enjoy music with abrasive qualities. And soft qualities. I enjoy music that can effect an audience.
I was going to avoid listing bands/music I listen to for fear of it being limiting, but figure it's kinda cool to be in similar head spaces as far as taste in music. Music that finds itself playing on the ol stereo/mp3player/recordplayer from time to time are as follows but not limited to.... Melvins, The Sunny Boys, The Birthday Party, Polvo, Shellac, Cannibal Corpse, Sleep, Weezer, High on Fire, Electric Wizard, Corrupted, Jason Molina, God, ....god speed you black emperor, Lightning Bolt, The Motels, Neal Young, Om, Roland S Howard, Slint, Split Ends, The Sunny Boys.....
some of my most enjoyed gigs in the last few years were The Dirty Three, High Tea, a percussion act at 'The make it up club'(they didn't have a name) Mars Volta, 6ft hick, Lightning Bolt.

I'm looking for something pretty special. If I was to be picky I'd say pref persons gigging and active in local music but of course not at all necessary.

Feel free to message me anytime.

What do you want Peter?

It's Neil young btw.

And I need no guitarist. Lord no!

Unless it's poncho.


angelicIV  said about 2 years ago:

And only poncho if he has his baggie..

Wow, doesn't leave much room for rehearsals? 60 minutes only?


polyphloisboian  said about 2 years ago:

:) yeah does kind of read like that. From 6-7 meaning I'm free from 6 OR 7pm onward as my work finishing times change from day from shift to shift.


angelicIV  said about 2 years ago:

You can name a lot of hip 00 bands in an hour!


polyphloisboian  said about 2 years ago:

why do you think they're hip?


Peter  said about 2 years ago:

why can't he name Golden Apples?


angelicIV  said about 2 years ago:

I don't really. You should of mentioned me...

Hi, I'm one of the best guitarists in the world. The white Hendrix. I don't play unless I get money.

Sorry to be a cunt...I'm experienced. It makes one hard. It's the blues.
Enjoy.

Anyone that just says tele..mean they cant play telecasters so piss that off.

A telecaster is a specialist instrument. You don't list it as a 'tele'. Down thelist as guitar number three. It's either number one or not there. Tele players don't fuck around with this shit.

Maybe angelicIV is right?

Maybe it is a specialist instrument that Tele players don't fuck around with...?

I play a 'tele' and I'll admit that I'm not very good and I don't know much about gear or tone too much (I don't even own an amp), but I play in one of the bands that polyphloisboian mentioned. And it's heaps of fun.

So maybe angelicIV is just a dick?


BigBoysSocks  said about 1 year ago:

That's the impression I get.


Lozenge  said about 1 year ago:

Why is everyone talkin' like a tele is some obscure instrument that is hard to get a grasp on?

It's a freakin' electric guitar! ...and is prolly easier to play than other guitars due to the slim neck and low action on the strings.


Ben  said about 1 year ago:

you have your first lesson grasshopper


Ben  said about 1 year ago:

learned!


bxckxtrxdxr  said about 1 year ago:

way to hijack a thread angelic, you fucking useless cunting troll.

polyphloisboian, it is still possible to use messandnoise to do productive musical stuff, so keep plugging away, and will suggest you to some peeps as Ben has.


BigBoysSocks  said about 1 year ago:

it is still possible to use messandnoise to do productive musical stuff,

True dat.


polyphloisboian  said about 1 year ago:

thank you! finally some constructive responses, not just some shithead that sits at his computer on some shitty moral high ground about stuff thats not even quite right(angelicIV)

i am still keen to be playing. i have however possibly approached this in slightly the wrong manner and excluded anybody that ISN'T playing in bands but keen to be doing so.
so if anyone is keen, feel free to contact me if you want to make some fkn great noise.


angelicIV  said about 1 year ago:

O rly?

Nothing moral about a telecaster.

Just lots of shit guitarists in the world.


Ben  said about 1 year ago:

and a few awesome ones aIV


    • end of debate * *


angelicIV  said about 1 year ago:

Sure, but no need for the histrionics cos I was talking about the traditional usage f the telecaster and the ole skool thinking..back when..

There is still a bit too it. A tele is a special thing.

All good. But the histrionics. Specially from that shit Improvisor up the thread...maybe take a chill pill. A mogodon!


polyphloisboian  said about 1 year ago:

seriously man, it's just a fucking guitar. seriously.


angelicIV  said about 1 year ago:

Yeah yeah bUt the fun is in you know..all the mystique a bit. Just a bit of fun.

Seriously..just a bit of fun. I still look at a tele like wow..or a strat or any of leo's creations.

Leo was pretty cool. Sorry if buggered up the thread. Good luck with it all!


polyphloisboian  said about 1 year ago:

I still look at a tele like wow

from memory you bagged me out for saying tele.....anyway.

oh, and i'm pretty sure leo couldn't play guitar....you know, just sayin since tele's are for players, right?

mine is sweet. fender did re-makes of the '52 with all the wiring with the cotton. neck is sort of a yellowish colour. aged, if you will. a really nice looking guitar. plays great too.
tele's are fucking great, i saw one in that fretted instruments awhile ago with a b bender in it, butterscotch colour, fkn beautiful looking guitar. strats for me, not so much. saw one one time, a light lime green colour, almost as if was faded white, pretty sexy guitar right there!


jbiz  said about 1 year ago:

If you want the white Hendrix then you have to pay me fucking heaps...

Wait - you're Stevie Ray Vaughn. I mean, baarrrrrffff but glad to hear you're alright.


polyphloisboian  said about 1 year ago:

(I don't even own an amp)

goat, if ya ever need an amp ta use, just let me know.


angelicIV  said about 1 year ago:

Well I actually started up because you listed a tele as just another guitar in yr guitar
Iist, where I always loved the 'I play telecaster, mentality of tele players. I love it. Tele is serious. well it used to be.. Still reckon it is yo know...

Leo didn't play nah. He just used all the players to tell him whwa was good what wasn't etc.

You can get a b bender from gene parsons. He invented it. He still does em from his shed in California. You know..drummer ofthe byrds. He and Clarence white invented it..yo know..but gene is lovely. I'd recommend tha over a fender licensed one. Although it's licensed from gene I guess!

Anyway rock on man. I was shit stirring. Yo know..stirring! Making spaghetti sauce!

Gear : fuck yes


polyphloisboian  said about 10 months ago:

yeah yeah yeah point taken! a totally UNgay thing to say ;) I was nervous about putting up an ad on such a public forum and fumbled my way through. I had just bought a sweet new guitar and was very excited to start playing it hence the fuck yes comment.
Now, sorry to have offended you regarding 'fabulous diamonds'
Enjoy the beautiful weather today! It's amazing out there.
