Well, I don't know much -- I had Avril Lavigne's album in my top 20 last year -- but I knows what I likes. And all I've got to say about guitar players is if you ever saw Mike Keneally in person, you might wonder who's ever done more amazing things with the instrument, except maybe that cat named Hendrix.
I saw Keneally at a club in Chicago a couple of years ago. Well, I actually didn't SEE much of him, because I was at the back of the room. Early on in the set, there were these sounds I've never heard out of ANY instrument before, and I figured somebody had triggered some keyboard-processed sounds.
It turns out it was Keneally soloing on one broken string -- just stretching the string in different manners, and playing with his whammy bar and such.
It may not have fit anyone's idea of a melodic solo or anything like that, but it was one of the most impressive things I've seen. The guy is unbelievable.
