12:45 AM Upstairs he started when i was thinking to write.

At Spirit Mountain again Angela won a few hands right at the end, about 500 bucks (she firs had lost 200 and me 40) and we went to get gas at their station (cheapest around). I told her, something will happen. But did not know it would be so soon.

At the Shell gas station, like usually, lots of silica absorbent dust around the pumps and i don't like to step into that cause it is very irritant and it flies easily from the shoes inside the car. Even if i ran into it with my front wheels some may get inside when driving.

I finally found a pump in the big station (12 pumps) with clean pavement, in the middle row, first at the left side of the car and started pumping. They were two young women providing distraction at the next pumps.

When i finished, i realized the hose was way too long for that pump, maybe about one meter longer than it should and was laying on the ground some half meter in front of the pump. Could i had run over it and force it from its safety link. And i had one drink earlier in the lot and it is holiday.

On the road, as usual, all incoming cars had blinding lights with normal being a few (exceptions). Behind me only blinding lights in the mirror and tailgating most of the 48 miles. I have the feeling that i forget something, whatever.

I got here. Smell of dog poop in my nose since i pulled in our spot (fan was still on). I had to go in the back to check the signs at the door. I have too bottles tied with fishing line from the door and passed through a coat hanger and they turn around every time i close the door in a different position and i look through the back window, memorize the position when i leave or take a picture and then check it when i'm back. This way i know nobody got inside.

But today for some reason i was hesitating, mainly because of the smell. I tried to turn on the flashlight at the phone so i won't step into one. And then i saw, in front of the other car (F6, upstairs) was a dog alone, with no leash. I did not pay much attention but Angela said it was one of those... killer dogs.

I looked into some pictures and have the confirmation. It was a Rottweiler, unleashed next to me on the grass. It seemed a "stupid, inexperienced pup". Should i have stepped towards the back, he could have followed me in the dark.

Then two young curly brown guys appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the dog by the collar, from both sides and took it i think at D7. I think this dog is the new kid on the block who did the poops next to our balcony or entrance within the last week.

Lately every time i go outside, the "mistery woman" at D7 (Kylie Minogue) comes outside also. Today in the morning she was running away (from me?) and then when i took the poops at the garbage, i saw her coming in her red Mazda SUV with a guy, much younger. Then when we left, she came out again.

1:55

2:20 Ok i finally went outside to pick those. There was one more bag on the ground left by me since this morning (well knotted). When i got back with the bag i was still knotting it when i heard someone running from behind. He passed me from real close saying "i am right behind you, sorry, goodnight, sir whatever) and them he went to the next entrance. Angela said someone moved recently, must be at 3.

Then i looked and i saw on the back of his shirt an open mouth like of a monster. Like Taz, the Tasmanian devil. No, bigger. With teeth. Then i remembered. They have a killer dog at F4 as well. Bull dog or terrier. But i believe they only bring it here at times.

I took both bags at the dumpster but when i came back i smelled more so i did one more round. Could not find anything close to this side of the building, could have been an echo from those and came back with my flashlight still on only to see her again, at her car, on the other side of the building.

I remember how many times she was coming "from somewhere" when we were getting home late at night and she was casting her headlights on our car, for minutes.

I remember one night she was really close to our door when i was was going to pick some, but turned around for some reason.

12:30 PM I started to search for one, they started the base upstairs.

1:05 Angela is back from WinCo. I did not have plants to leave today but i'm not gonna stay here to have my brain scrambled by the base for the next 4 hours.

10:55 Upstairs they are adapting strategy. Every time we talk they now start walking.

12:45 I was always curious about how is correct. Basketball ball or basket ball (when talking about the ball). Today i had an opportunity to ask my man google after i saw they say basketball for ball which should be for game, right?

Whatever, the thing is why they came with this after i complained about the weird trajectory of a piece of paper brought by the air currents right between my feet. Was that an allusion to stop writing or the writing caused my wound (and other things i mentioned in an earlier record).

12:50 AM Today Angela won a 3600 jackpot (3060 after 15% tax) at Indian Head and i knew something is going to happen on the road.

15 minutes into the trips, they were two cars in front of me of which the last (closest) was a Prius with those weird taillights which are hard to tell when they show braking. At  least two deer came in front of  the first car which however was going under speed limit but made me test again my brakes. My brakes now work like the car was new, no problem.

I believe some regulations are long overdue in the area of taillights and in the area of after market and/or modified front lights. Those with right front lights are now an exception. Manufacturers make the tail lights each in his own way and that leads to safety problems on the road. Biggest problem is on dark roads at night outside cities. 

We stopped in Sandy to deposit that money at an US Bank ATM. In Sandy before that i saw 3 weirdos on bicycles blocking the left lane while i was looking on the right for the bank. Then they came at the bank when we were leaving. That was a first. We always took money from that ATM in our way there.

Today i saw for the first time in the US a person so drunk she could barely stand or walk and it was a woman, a 5 ft tall Asian. As i was looking (actually waiting from someone to leave), she came out the door and had no problems walking the distance to the lot, about 200 ft though one could realize she was drunk.

I was waiting thinking she would leave an empty space in the lot when living, However, when there, her feet started to wobble on the high heels/soles shoes and first she lost one and then of course she fell. It took her minutes to realize the shoes were the problem so she took the other off  holding them both like a baby, but then the effort got to her and she could not walk or stand anymore, even without those when a security guy came and walked her somewhere, could have been her car.

Minutes later i heard a siren, but it was a fire engine that passed the area. Cannot explain to myself what possessed me and did not pull the phone to film her. A bit tired from the 2 hours trip? Confused and consumed by my own thoughts about numerous mishaps of my life.

While inside the casino i saw a guy who looks like one of the versions of the guy upstairs dressed in a security or tech uniform.  But he could not possibly work there, cause he leaves here at 6:30 in the morning (and comes after 6 PM). A 200 miles commute? (He upstairs just coughed to prove he is here  though. Whatever)

1:35 There was one more obstacle closed to home on 205 before i reached I5. I switched to the right lane as Angela said and slowed to 60 maybe (at the end of the 65 zone) and saw something that at first looked like a paper brown bag and then like a dead animal, but in vertical position, about 1 ft from the pavement, a piece of deer maybe, and avoided it in the last tenth of a second by passing right of it.

3:05 Asta a apărut în timp ce scriam eu faza cu căprioarele.

12:25 PM Went outside to do the brakes. I was a bit lethargic and sleepy also because a new mole mound next to living floor. They will give up after i plug those for a month or so.

First a couple of people across the alley. Her, an Alexa meme. Him, a bearded skinhead, not very scary by body built. How many times the passed by the car when i was at the trunk to pick my tools? At least 3 times. I picked one single smelly poop in front of our balcony.

The authentic Mexican woman who came at her trunk (three cars from mine) in the same time with me. Then she left the trunk opened and started to talk on the phone for the whole time Angela was pumping the pedal for me. Then, a base started and another Latina started to sweep the stair at D6.

Music was pretty annoying. Some guy came whistling and stayed at D5 entrance for about 5 minutes. One guy came in the balcony to wet his plants when i was bent with my butt in that direction. Cars passing every time i was bent inside the trunk.

I was right. I found a pretty big bubble of air at the right front wheel. Pedal is concrete firm now.

12:40 Confirmation. I did a short drive on the alley to test it. It brakes much better (maybe like it used to). There was this Japanese woman posing in a Mexican dressed in red pants who started to walk in front of me with a number of garbage items, she dropped one, stayed bent for about 10 seconds, showing her butt.

Then when i turned around i briefly saw her face and i think she is part of the Imperial family, like the guy upstairs, all with diplomatic passports. Then she started to walk back again in front of me etc.. On the radio, Perlin (band) sings "Take my breath away".

Now is "I want to get away", when i was thinking i was done and ready to leave, i don't know where yet.

12:50 I thought she was joking, but Angela is really building a "burger soup".

Upstairs they started the loudest base. They did not retaliate on the previous (diplomatic passport) but they did on burger soup, for those who think i was sarcastic. No i simply did not know it existed. They were active all morning. Again, a "young couple" staying here all weekend.

Went outside. Base can be heard from outside the door, but not from the alley.

5:45 Today Angela had this idea obsession to remove the red rectangular carpet from the living and put it in the sun. With that came the flipping of the couch and under couch of course the fiberboard floor is bulged from moisture coming from the basement. The reason humidity inside is 20% more than outside, temperature adjusted.

But what did i find on the last plank of an Ikea shelf in the back of the couch? One rotten apple and one rotten half banana both turned black and gray. Supposedly fallen from the basket on top of the shelf but they must have had a curved trajectory to fall like that. And shouldn't i have seen or heard when that happened? I recently had a similar potato incident. Waiting my wound to heal?

Did not finish vacuuming the living cause i have the couch flipped, waiting for the carpet to dry a little. Now Angela fell asleep and upstairs they started the base, to spread the dust and the last of the mold spores around.

6:00 Now that i finished posting this, they turned the volume higher. I don't believe my phone or my mics can record these frequencies. They did the base thing all week long or since they returned after the long weekend.

9:19 PM Went outside to grab some garbage items from the grass, check the bin for open bags, there was an SUV pointing its Xenon lamps at the bin, i had my big flashlight, i came back, saw something in the grass however i passed on that one, but when i turned around to go at the door, they came down the stairs to pretend i am blinding them with my flashlight? (to make them stumble and fall?, i know those stairs are very hard to climb up and down because the rail is too low) but i think i turned it off if it was on.

He now looks like a samurai with a ponytail, much older than i saw him last time and her fatter. That after they screwed me all day and week with the base and then started to clean and release dust from their balcony while i had the carpet laid on mine.

I know what they're doing. At times they show me a weak, young guy so i won't be afraid of a confrontation and then the executioner comes along. And they never do anything until they can prove they where victims.

9:53 They're back in the atmosphere.

4:25 PM

11:55 We left at 4 and came at 11. I enjoyed a few quiet hours just sitting in the car in the parking lot at Spirit Mountain, not having someone bullying in my own living space. Angela went inside, i felt too tired for that. Did not drink because i had to take another Amoxicillin due to chills. We just got home, finished the wound and laid in bed and upstairs they started.

Today i have been involved in a few incidents requiring to use the brakes real heard, starting with the parking lot here at the apartment when i left at noon for wound care and the brakes seem not to respond well, showing symptoms like having air in the lines. It started sudden.

Legacy Wound Care Center is next to Randall's Children Hospital. Today i saw a family with three small kids going there but when we left after about one hour and a half they entered the Wound Care. Figures.

2:30 PM About when i finished my wound, i started to choke. There was some sort of smoke combined with mold that i thought was coming from outside. It happened in the past (oh so many times) but not recently.

I opened the balcony door and made a step outside to see if that was the case and then i saw a humanoid shaped female with a pink top and a dog behind the bush, some 20 ft away, and then she retreated and she seemed not bothered by the choking "ninja" smoke.

3:23 Ok i know what it was. There is a brand new mole or a whole family in the lawn. I saw mounds everywhere, and there is one under the siding near the entrance. They were also 6 poops nearby, which is also new, lately they have been concentrating on the other side of the building (for at least one year).

The smell emanating from the mole holes makes me sick as it did in the past.

4:47 Latest

I opened the back door to air the apartment. One South American guy, maybe Brazilian by the looks came from behind the bush, passing.

5 minutes earlier. Got back home from Walmart. One nanite humanoid disguised in a black guy or wearing a black something on his face was riding an old and very noisy mower in the parking lot. He stopped not far from our car and started talking on the phone with that thing on, vibrating the building, and squeezing the last of that mole hole that i plugged right after.

Earlier. The first two lanes were very slow with people merging so i got on the 4th lane. There was this huge semi packed with cardboard making a terrible noise with its airhorn. As i switched back to exit,  had to be very careful not to merge in a lane simultaneously with some other guy, but at the last merge they almost got me.

All cars in the street seemed to be self driving and AI coordinated. There was this woman at the wheel in a black SUV that after doing a sharp bullying maneuver that in my opinion would require lots of attention, she was looking serenely into the sky like being bored, obviously not driving. BTW, They were all kinda weird jet trails in the sky, should have picture them, but i knew Angela would start to yell at me if i tried while driving.

Yes i left about an hour ago trying to escape the blowers. But when they came, they come directly at our building, out of all complex. I heard them and got out in a minute however they were at the building and blew dust on me. Then i got in the car and tried to backup in a hurry and there was this huge black truck coming on the opposite side of the lane.

But when he saw i stopped backing, he stopped too and became overly polite, letting me pass. However, i had to wait for him to clear the lane. At the next dumpster there was again a white truck this time that backed in front of me.

I waited for Angela in the parking lot at Walmart and there was a whole show in front of my eyes of which i can mention a tall humanoid with the back of a gorilla and a small head with shorts who after passed me, lowered his shorts to tuck his shirt or something, briefly and literally showing me his white, narrow butt. I would think he can be seen on security recordings. He later climbed into an black newer F150.

Angela just tried to open the bedroom window next to me but at 4 the humanoid is talking again on the phone in the balcony like she does for hours daily.

6:30 Last night i was watching movies and Angela fell asleep and she was tossing and turning because of the TV and i turned it off. But wanted to see how the episode ended and went in the living and set at her desk and browsed 2 more episode of Battlestar Galactica (yes, i came down to that one, not having what else to watch) and i had this idea and did some searches.

But had to sit and that did not do well for my wound.

Yes it is possible to turn your phone into a cinema for the price of a movie ticket by using an enclosure with lenses allowing you to see the phone from real close. In my case, use some app to turn the phone into a computer monitor (to avoid exposure to wi-fi and also keep it powered) and watch through that one

So i don't have to buy a laptop for when staying in hotels in my future trips (when or if my wound gets healed).

My moto G play 2024 has only 720 lines for res though so i have to be happy with that but older movies like Battlestar don't even have that res whatever. I will buy this thing just to see the quality of the lenses.

7:27 Just figured why they blew dust on me before i left. Most of it was redwood dust which is very irritant and they were hoping i will react to that wrestler showing his butt in the parking lot at Walmart. What Police. I took a shower and the dust still stings my face. The scene happened right in front of the 4 military recruitment offices near Walmart. No i did not react because i was exposed all day long to mole gas and was near fainting when Angela came home and we went to Walmart and was still lethargic in the car in the lot.

7:47 When i finished was writing the above they upstairs started a loud base and throwing objects on the floor and then pacing around. I remembered i saw another mole mound near the stairwell wall and wanted to go outside, but from the building D last entrance (5-10) started to pour out a bunch of teens, i looked at a couple of them, Asians think they are Latinos.

12:15 PM They just started the loudest base upstairs.

12:25 The base has stopped.

9:45 Azi am dat de un site care bărbierește. Nu, pe bune. Pui o poză de bărbos acolo și ți-l scoate fără. Bine erau de mult timp site-uri care puneau barbă, dar invers e ceva mai greu. Am pus eu unul pe care-l suspectam de ceva, dar după ce l-au bărbierit mi-am dat seama că are ochi albaștri. Poate fiindcă barba argintie îmi lua ochii și nu m-am putut să văd bine? A și o idee.

Tot căutând, am dat de un articol din Cațavencii care combate bine biserica. Că avem cele mai multe biserici din Europa pe cap de locuitor. Există o explicație foarte simplă pentru asta. Rezistența în timpul celor 400 de ani de sub dominație turcă? Cât despre primul bărbos al țării din acel articol, eu cam știu cine e. Din el, numai barba e autentică.

Visul dintotdeauna al legionarilor. Să-l bărbierească pe X sau pe Y. Ok mi-a venit o idee. Ce-ar fi să-l bărbierim pe Iorga? (eu mi-am folosit numărul de încercări gratuite, mai jucați-vă și dvs.).

10:00 The longest hours and highest base volume from upstairs. They finished after i'vc done my wound. Got dust in my nose.

11:33 PM When was that. Thursday morning? Friday? I looked through the window when he left after 6 AM and saw a different guy. I knew the do that. Done it many times before. Keep the character, change the actuator.

Shorter, younger, with a round Sun like face. Can't remember if he came back that day but i think he (they) were gone until today. 4-5 days quiet upstairs. They were other things, like the base on Saturday to compensate.  I did not want to write when i saw they were missing being afraid they were going to come back.

Tonight about 15 minutes ago i was doing the wound when they climbed.  The wound is infected again, after one and a half day being clear. It is very small now but i would think any piece of missing skin no matter how small can allow bacteria in.

I was telling Angela, i feel like i am drunk all the time, she said because of bad bacteria due to antibiotics. It is possible.

I heard her (upstairs) voice when she climbed the stairs, almost crying like. I think that was to initiate the connection. And then he started to work the floor. Moved in the bedroom, he came after, came back in the living only to sneeze because of the dust raised and he came after too.

11:45 Now he does big stomps. He is rested and full of energy. Usually when they were coming at this hour they were going to bed right away. 

The weirdest part is i was thinking about nurse Chapel right before i heard them.

It may also be related to my mistake on he main blog. Actually it is an old mistake. Larry Knechtel was a long time associate or Simon and Garfunkel but he only wrote the arrangements for piano for that song, but he was dead several months before that performance at Madison Square Garden.

Tomorrow have to dig again for Trump.

8:00 PM. This is ridiculous. I am stuck doing manually face searches in imdb database while there are powerful AI search tools out there with which it would take seconds to find a match in that database.

Finding dr. Susan Huang who currently is still CEO at Providence but somehow at Legacy as well since she starts on June 15 so she kinda controls both (until there will be a resolution with my wound). BTW she is a dermatologist and i do have lots of dermatologic problem these days, with wound being less than 5 mm wide and all kinda infections around it.

But i tried anyways with a free tool and it gave me results both herself and faces from... Vietnam. I knew she was not Chinese as the name would say. Just by looking at the first women at that age (figured by google) in the Japanese actress listed on imdb (starting with 1967 here) i am intrigued as in some pictures she looks Japanese. Definitely not Chinese, but for westerners there is little difference between them.

11:35 AM It has always been like this, with the wound. Breakthroughs or setbacks, at the end of the week the wound was always smaller. With the infection i am not as good as last weekend but i'm getting there.

So i went to pack the wound at 12 hours to prevent it from drying. Earlier i cleaned a bit in the living so everything is more visible. I sat at the "station" with a desk lamp at my feet which may have been visible from outside when one young fair maiden with a dog passed by the window. Then all hell broke loose. Basses in the parking lot, loud exhausts as i unpacked it, cleaned it and packed it back. 

2:00 PM Two hours and a half, the base is still on. I feel  the "wall smell" already. The base is coming from south of the complex. I can only imagine how loud is at the source and the houses nearby but nobody at the City seems to care.

3:15 It happened under him.

My visit on December 23 at dr.Bedolla (who looks like...) when i was told by the Asian assistant with mask i should see a podiatrist. I knew about 3 healing visible blisters on my left foot but did not know about the blister/wound in the back of my ankle. She asked me to close my eyes during a foot exam.

Dr.Huang at Legacy Wound Care Center told me the wound was at least 2 months old by watching at the picture done on January 18.

But before that. In the same clinic where i saw dr.Bedolla (closest) on December 23 was a doctor named Michael Jacko who looked exactly like Machel Love from Beach Boys who delayed my insulin treatment for almost one year, by creating a confusion in my mind (i did not know that in the clinic only pharmacist Henry Tran prescribes insulin on behalf of doctors (to save them time) and dr.Jacko told me i should see doctor Tran to review my blood chemistry which left me puzzled.

Later he acted like he was on a mental decline and retired.

Question. Is dr.Susan Huang who is about to replace dr.George Brown at Legacy the wife of dr.Enoch Huang at Legacy Wound Care Center?

Another question. Was doctor Savaser replaced with Brian Schimpf (also wearing a mask) during those visits (who also has a strong link with the military).

Another question. Who doctored my "boot" to make it press on the wound?

Another question. The ER doctor at Providence St.Vincent who saw me on January 20 was Victoria Beckham (of Spice Girls)?

4:30 PM Every time there is a vibration or base around here, the thin plastic portable toilet vibrates and puts out more bacteria with deodorant in the air.

I have done my wound @noon after 12 hours and it looked good. 4 hours later after 3 hours of base, it started to hurt and when i opened the bandages, it was all infected again. Looked like S.Aureus to me. Wound was packed with an abundance of Silvadene.

8:15 PM After 6 i went and got rid of the poops. Not as many as usual, single origin (one single dog, medium size), twice daily for a week, a few more from other dogs.

Talking about non commercial and almost unknown musicians. Last Saturday in the car on Sammy Hagar count down (the good part of driving back home at that hour) being close to home and a quarter past dead tired i heard a funky base song that caught my attention because the base seemed to me done on the left side of a piano rather than on a base guitar and that's all that remained from the otherwise forgotten episode.

Today i remembered, found the song and played it. One of the best blues song i have (never) heard, also because of the base piano (or heavily slapped base), more dynamic than Hendrix's Cross Town Traffic, guitar bolder than Clapton's, voice less raspy than Cocker's, probably the source for Another one Bites the dust, etc..

Metallica nu e chiar metal

Am citit acum câteva chestii despre concertul Metallica la București. Prima chestie, au cântat o melodie în românește, ca să se știe sigur că ei nu confundă Bucureștiul cu Budapesta. Da îmi amintesc de o fază când Scorpionii au cântat în ungurește la Budapesta, limba maghiară fiind mult mai dificilă la pronunție decât româna, dar asta și pentru că Klaus Meine e de fapt ungur deghizat în neamț.

Îmi pare rău că nu am putut să-i văd acolo, ca să-mi dau o părere. Face multă vâlvă o postare a lui Turcescu care deși în mod curent nu cântă, a fost totuși pe scenă câțiva ani și știe de o infinitate de ori mai multe chestii decât toți cei care îl înjură (zero împărțit la epsilon care poate fi oricât de mic tot infinit dă) și nu au pus mâna pe o chitară în viața lor.

Din ce am văzut acolo, pentru mulți Metallica este o nostalgie. Muzica tinereții? Asta pentru o mică minoritate din București și poate din vest, zone ca Timișoara, unde se mai aduceau discuri din străinătate și probabil exemplare din publicații ca Rolling Stones.

Unii din ei, nu știu dacă cei care au comentat pe forumuri, sunt cei pe care eu îi numesc fii snobi de aparatnici, care aveau acces la discuri și le plăcea să se dea mari repetând cred comentarii ale unora (puțini) recunoscuți ca "autorizați" care mai știau muzică pe vremea aceea.

O combinație de baladă și rock sacadat, Metallica sunt o formație destul de mediocră pe scena rock americană, într-o zonă de nișă, cu fani bine stabiliți. Dar sunt oare ei, după standardele de azi, metaliști?

Muzica metal este asociată invariabil cu shredding (se pronunță șreding, iar sensul principal în engleză este a tăia mărunt (documente)), un concept prea puțin conștientizat în România (și nu numai), ceea ce m-a făcut să scriu această postare.

Shredding, așa cum sugerează și cuvântul, înseamnă a cânta la chitară foarte rapid (a toca mărunt).

Picking este acțiunea de ciupire a corzii, care se face cu o pană (pick), o bucată de nylon mică și triunghiulară de obicei.

În shredding, ciupirea se face foarte repede, în zona timpilor de 1/32 (treizeci-doimi) care pentru un tempo obișnuit de 60 BPM, unde o notă întreagă are 4 secunde, reprezintă a opta parte dintr-o secundă.

La metal, tempo-ul variază între 120 și 220 BPM, deci teoretic un chitarist poate merge până la 32 de note pe secundă, dar asta nu prea există în realitate. Marii chitariști merg în zona 20 de note pe secundă (de ohicei pentru câteva secunde într-o melodie). Însă după 10 sunete pe secundă, cel care ascultă nu mai poate distinge notele separate decât poate dacă le anticipează, știind melodia mai dinainte.

Bineînțeles la shredding se sacrifică partea melodioasă, ca să poți scoate atât de multe sunete pe secundă, trebuie să stai pe niște secvențe pe care să le repeți, și mai rar să mergi într-un crescendo-decrescendo pe 2-3 octave (de multe ori pentatonice pentru mai multă dinamică).

Însă nimic nu se poate înțelege fără exemple.

Iată aici un video care explică sunetul "metalic" al chitarei lui Hetfield de la Metallica. Ca și cei de la U2, care sunt notorii pentru tonele de echipament folosite pentru a scoate sunetul specific (semnătura) lor, și chiar Brian May, care avea un set de "tuning" al preamplificatorului pentru fiecare melodie, sunetul lui Hetfield se bazează mult pe electronică.

Mă rog, analog sau ce era pe atunci, când au scos ei discul emblematic Master of Puppets (86), astăzi existând simulatoare digitale care pot să simuleze acele combinații de amplificatoare și preamplificatoare. Singura chestie e că orice prelucrare digitală, nu contează cât de sofisticat este softul, aduce și un lag, care la 0.1 secunde poate să ruineze complet o melodie cântată în timp real.

Da bine vor spune unii, în albumele de studio nu prea contează amplificatorul. Ba da, contează, pentru că pe atunci amplificatoarele aveau fiecare o amprentă specifică și făceau parte din personalitatea sunetului, nu doar din volum.

Apropo, este cunoscut faptul că nu prea poți să reproduci în concert calitatea melodiilor înregistrate în studio, unde fiecare instrument se înregistrează separat și se pot repeta și înregistra melodii sau pasaje din melodii până ies perfect.


Este Joe Bonamassa un metalist? Nu, el este cel mai mare chitarist de blues al momentului, dar aici chiar face shredding. Și nu cred că-i pasă prea mult de prelucrarea electronică a sunetului.

 

Oriantthi a făcut shredding pe scenă cu Michel Jackson și în studio cu Steve Vai.

Ca să cânți atâtea note pe secundă se cere un efort deosebit ceea ce se vede pe fețele lor de obicei.

Da, în mod ciudat, muzica asta cu secvențe repetitive amintește de muzica barocă (pe fast forward). O asemănare inevitabilă rezultată nu neapărat din imitare ci din dorința de viteză (pe care unii o numesc virtuozitate) ceva ce după un anumit nivel este posibilă numai pe aceste scurte secvențe repetitive (sau repetitive la intervale) de note crescătoare/descrescătoare.


Ca să n-o lungesc prea mult. Cel mai tare metalist (fastest shredder) al momentului și o referință a genului este aproape necunoscutul Buckethead. 

Da numele i se trage de la o găleatâ de fast food (KFC) pe care o poartă în cap și este un mesaj anti-fast food și anti-corporatist. Probabil omul a avut la viața lui niște ciocniri cu marile case de discuri (labels). Este cunoscut faptul că muzicienii mai ales debutanții primesc de la aceștia cam 10% din încasări însă am auzit și de mai puțin.

Pe fața lui nu poți citi nimic pentru că poartă o mască de plastic alb.

Însă până și el are anumite ezitări într-un spectacol live foarte ambițios.
