im thinkin it was given him as a joke or something lol

Re: I wonder?
 

aye anna it was mick, he said that he only had one copy and mark just put it strait in the bin. the person who said they would rather have stapps vocals instead of myles and less or marks solos. thats shit in my opinion, i dont like listening to creed coz there is no soloing and i find stapps voice tacky when myles i feel can hit all the notes he needs to pitch perfect.

Re: I wonder?
 

I got no problem with Nirvana. They didn't take the solo out of rock. It was a progression. I'm not saying that every song should have a solo. I don't know if anyone here has seen the Metallica doc, Some Kind of Monster, but Kirk Hammet basically said he didn't want to force a solo, it has to be natural and have a flow. It doesn't work with some songs.
But on the other hand, it does take a master musician to work a killer solo into a song, and I like to here those killer solos.

Re: I wonder?
 

Totally agree with you. I was a bit worried that Mark would go OTT with his work in ODR. But his solo in OYE is excellent - love the OYE video when he hits it.

His best solo, IMO, was in Stand Here With Me.

Take Care

i thought i had gone crazy and made it all up lol but i knew id read it somewhere

Re: I wonder?
 

The thing is, Nirvana made it defenit... Most authoroties would say Nirvana put the rock out of the roll...

Every song does not need to be a solo, but I do love the solos.

IMO Marks best solo by far is Ahavo Rabo Taco Sallad... Insane! :mad1:

Re: I wonder?
 

Yeah but I really don't think Scott would have got rid off all the solo's.
If you check out the Creed interview with Scott & Scott lol Scott stapp will say he would like Mark to solo more.

oh and ok the guitar work on My Sacrifice and Open your eyes is very very similar put the solo to Open your eyes in my sacrifice and oh my god!.

ne way My Sacrifice it 100 times better then open your eyes so can you imagine if their was a 4th Creed album!.

Re: I wonder?
 

THATS SHIT,.......in my opinion

Re: I wonder?
 

its shit in my openion to.

Re: I wonder?
 

Mark does have to be careful though. If he tries to force a solo in inappropriate moments... he'll make himself look like too much of a show-off. I've heard that argument made by people after hearing "Open Your Eyes."

Re: I wonder?
 

See quote in my signature. Have a nice day.

Re: I wonder?
 

I don't like solos either. I think we've discussed that before...and I was told I'm IGNORANT.

Re: I wonder?
 

IMO ... solos are annyoying. Maybe one here and there ... if they are kept short.

Re: I wonder?
 

I don't think anyone should be calling those who don't like solos "stupid". The fact is, not everyone likes guitar solos. I happen to love solos, but I realize that not everyone enjoys'em as much as I do. Does that make those who dislike solos "stupid"? No. If that's the case....a whole lot of people(most of the world) are stupid. And that's just not true.

Re: I wonder?
 

best rock bands have guitar solos on their songs. and i agree with Marcos and his sig :D
