  • Van Halen finger tapping the fretboard. Didn’t last as a trend, but every guitar player tried it at the time.

    Les Claypool from Primus playing lead bass. That was so unique, I don’t think anyone really copied it. A watershed moment anyway.

    Neil Pert YYZ or the solo from Tom Sawyer. Same reaction from drummers as guitarists for Van Halen. Blew everyone’s mind as to what was possible by one drummer.

    Obviously there was nothing like Jimmy Hendrix either, but there was so much new and experimental music at the time he unfortunately gets lumped into “60’s music” IMO.

    The MC5’s performance at the Chicago DNC in 1968 (and by extension Punk Rock). “Kick out the Jams, MOTHERFUCKERS!”



  • I bought an apple watch out of fomo because my wife had one. I could not for the life of me figure out what this fucking thing was for. Like, do I need another reminder to look at my phone? I don’t need the “health” app either. The watch “faces” are in such a walled garden limbo its fucking embarrassing. If anything, it reminds me of its limitations more than any potential. Move that feeling to something you strap to your face and lug around a tethered 2 hour battery. Do you wear it out to dinner? Or around the house to what, look at your own stuff? Is it just to watch movies on? I can’t think of a single application that is better because of it. The tech for a pilot or racecar driver or any other headsup display need is already out there. Its redundant and extremely gimicky. When you see a product like this you can tell there is panic in the R&D department.
