Yeah, that would be an interesting palate on which to build your own sound I suppose.
Not disappeared at all...Constantly touring. Saw them last yeat here for the first time. Always like the Pumpkins, but had NO idea how good of a player he is...That guy seems to have dissapeared. Dug him back in the 90's.
I think this is why his signature guitar didn't do anything. People were expecting Lace Sensors and 57-ish specs, and instead they got single space humbuckers. Don't get me wrong, I played a few when you could still find them in stores and they played and sounded just fine, but far fewer people are aware of the sound he puts out now as opposed to what he sounded like playing Today or Cherub Rock.I was more of a Siamese Dream fan. '57 reissue strat with R/B/S Lace Sensors is the real signature guitar to me
SG's work well for that sound too.
Ever see the lost live footage on The Vieuphoria DVD? His playing and tone are exceptional. Of course the footage is from the Pumpkin's prime years. Probably is the only alt rocker to name drop Yngwie in interviews. Very under-appreciated player (never understood how Guitar Player mag never had a cover story of him back in the '90's).
Yeah, this makes total sense. Corgan had the famous "MOM" strat, plus a couple of others he used almost exclusively. There are a lot of tones on "Siamese" that are Gibson all the way. He was known for mixing and matching different amps and guitars to keep his tones a little different. He did this a lot on "Mellon Collie..." I know he used an Epiphone SG and small Fender combo for some of the quieter, folk-rock things in that album. Iha always favored his black LP, but tended to be drowned out much of the time live and on record.
