Boston didn't make their sound because of multiple guitars. They did like PINK FLOYD and tweeked their sound through electronics. They used a bunch of tube amps and some how palyed with it to get that classic Boston fuzz sound that no one has been able to replicate.

The pipe organ had something to do with their guitar sound. I think that is a trade secret.

I posted on the XM thread about no more killer guitar bands any more, this is certainly one of them.

What do you mean "no more killer guitar bands"? What about bands like BlackLabelSociety (zakk Wylde) ?

Never heard of zakk until a few weeks ago when my boy picked his first electric guitar and it was the epiphone les paul bullseye zakk special. learn something new every day.

Wow- Zakk has been playing with OZZY for 15+ years, BLS is his solo project, and very good! Your kid has good taste in instruments, thats a VERY nice guitar!

By the way, Those of you that have seen PINK FLOYD, cosider yourself lucky. I have been fortunate enough to see them 3 times, and the last two were the best concerts ever in the history of the world!!!!

I know at least on person on this board will agree.

I did not go see another show for two years after PINK FLOYD because it would have been a let down. After a PINK FLOYD show nothing gets any better.

I like all kinds of music, but they take the cake!

I will agree on that! I've seen just about everyone live, its a hobby of mine, and Floyd takes the cake- hands down. The DIVISION BELL tour (Texas Stadium) was the best show I've ever seen!

Pink Floyd.. I missed that boat apparently. nothing personal. They do some good guitar work no doubt. I remember back in Junior high.. everyone else was singing Another Brick in the Wall.. I was listening to the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, and several other bands that no one else cared to listen to

I have to admit: I didn't know much about PinkFloyd until I saw them live. I had always heard about their "show" being incredible, so some friends and I went and I was mesmerized. I am now a HUGE fan for life!

That is the show I was talking about. Nothing better.

Dire Straights is the only other show I would really like to see.

Zakk is an awesome guitarist. When he went from OZZY to palying a solo accoustic jam I was impressed.

I'm not a huge Metalica fan, but they have some killer guitar licks.
Lyndsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac is another kick ass player.
