An Ebow makes everything sound better

@@AlternativeGuitars it does Amy excise to get mine out love it #twss

Thanks Colin, all videos use the Boss GT6 effects unit (sometimes 2 of them) straight into the laptop, so no amp needs to be mic'ed up. On the GT6 I use the Roland JC120 or Fender Twin simulator amp setting, then its a big stereo spread across 4, someties 6 channels in the recording software. For The Cult tracks its chorus/delay and distortion, sometimes I add in a flanger. For Hollow Man I was using 2 GT6's so distortion/chorus/delay on one and the other had a clean Roland JC120 sound mixed together, gives it that larger feel/sound. Like using 2 amps at the same time.

Thanks for listening Annette!

Thanks Pluto, Its more of an Overdrive sound than Distortion, so more like a Boss OD1 sound than a DS1, has some chorus in there also, the Gretsch helps to get that distinctive sound also

@@AlternativeGuitars Thanks for answer. Will try that :)

Thank you - Chorus, flanger, delay

Thanks mate, quite an easy tune to play but what a track, brilliant

Could be partly named after the Bowie song - know that they were friends of Bowies and appeared with him during the 2000s.

​@@kevind4850 @AlternativeGuitars l absolutely prefer this cover version in shoegaze style here! ❤ (without the brass like played in the original )

Thank you!, I love the original, the whole chilled vibe, but adding more noisy guitars suits the track also

Probably my favourite of theirs. Missing out on seeing Bowie is definitely up there on my life regret list

Thank you mate, a good one to zone out on

Thanks mate, some fine planks they are! great track to play, the whole drone vibe

Thanks mate, are you doing London? I'm seated on Billys side for the Albert Hall and standing at the Roundhouse if you're at either?

@@AlternativeGuitars not sure where we are I'll look it up later and let you know !

Thanks mate

CEREMONY is a class album - a lot of my mates don't like it either for some reason !

Thought they might have done at least one from it

Thank you mate

Cheers I2I!

Thanks Jewl, will add More to my list of songs to do

Thanks Bobcat

Thanks Gary, wish i'd seen them around this time (was too young ha), even with just Wayne H on guitar they sound massive at the Royal Albert Hall gig, first tme I saw them was at Reading 91 and they were a different band

@@AlternativeGuitars hey days in Leeds 1987. Smoke machines and fags on stage. Great era to be a student. Shame they fell out really as that first album was massive in terms of quality. Same with FOTN on the Visionary Heads tour. Wish they’d produce more albums though. Found another great listen too. Type B Negative. Caught them on a recommended list. Kind of a tribute to Pete who died way to early.

Cheers Andrew

Thank you mate

Thank you

Thanks mmate, i'll try and do more 'how to play' vids in the future

Thank you 🙌

Think the original is just synth (or a cello recording?) but I think Will S sometimes plays the intro with a synth/heavily effected sound
