Hmmm, name me your favourite songs with Steve Stevens playing on them then and I'll get my brother to send me those as well as the earlier Motley Crue albums, over the weekend.
You a fan of ZZ Top at all?
Billy Gibbons guitar work on their albums from teh 70s was total class! If anyone tries telling you Jimi Hendrix was the best guitar player ever, flick your middle finger at them and say "FUCK YOU...HE WASN'T EVEN FIT ENOUGH TO STRING BILLY GIBBONSESES GUITAR!".
I recommend the songs (unless you already have em of course) Cheap Sunglasses, Heard It On the X, La Grange, I'm Bad I'm Nationwide and Beer Drinkers and Hellraisers...if you're interested, which you're probably not
As for paths...I wouldn't actually change my actual path. I'd go back to when I was 17 or 18 and kick myself in the arse and learn how to motivate myself rather than thinking things would just fall nice and gently into my lap when I left school. I got into the guitar when I was 13 or 14 but never had the money really to buy good equipment (guitars and amps etc). I finally got a proper job 4 years after leaving school, lol, and got me some good gear (guitar and amp etc
), tried getting a band together with a few mates but decided I couldn't be fucked because it meant splaying the pub and club scene and having to compromise with the other band members...and I refuse to compromise when it means we're doing songs that, as the singer said, "will get the lassies up onto the dance floor". My first thought was "I don't give two fucks about getting lassies up onto the dancefloor, I'm doing it because I want to play Static-X songs...FUCK EVERYBODY ELSE!".
Plus he wasn't too good on guitar either, which doesn't help when forming a band really, does it?
