Fishmonkey,
My loathing of Dino goes way back.
Crappy tone, flailing guitar, caterwauling offkey vocals, none to my taste.
The guy knows his way around the neck, but I have never fround his music remotely interesting or innovative in the least, and I am mystified that so many people hold a torch for Dinosaur. It was not interesting in its time, and has aged poorly to my ears. I saw them back then, bought a couple of albums,gave it a chance and was constantly annoyed with what I heard.
All that gear, and still such godawful tone.
Just a personal taste issue. It should be said that I enjoy guitar solos, and gratuitous ones are fine by me; just not the Mascis style.
This is nothing I haven't said before on here a million times, so apologies to those who wish I would shut up about this. Just wanted to give fishmonkey some support.
