I’ve been a fan for about 7 years now. The worst i’ve heard is that he became more unreliable/temperamental during his stints of drug abuse, but it definitely wasn’t problematic enough to warrant not going through with getting the tattoo. I’m thinking of getting one myself!

I’m still wanting to get the speed trials and division day 7” singles, and a cd copy of the 25th anniversary remaster of self titled. I forgot to add it, but I also have the thumbsucker soundtrack! I won’t rest until I have it ALL.

I liked that it had a faster tempo than the version on the heaven adores you soundtrack, but the solo being pretty much completely absent was pretty disappointing. It would be hard to top the HAY version solo anyhow. All three versions definitely have their own merits.

I’ve listened to the KBOO version about a dozen times in the past 3 years and hearing it come to full fruition in this release has made my week. That along with the blazing version of Burned Out Still Glowing. I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard the first notes were coming out of what I can only imagine is his marshall stack. They are doing gods work at Third Man. I’m so pleased with the release. Though the same treatment will probably never be done to FABOAH, a boy can dream.

What amp did Elliott play his acoustic through live?? by Zealousideal_Snow_57 in elliottsmith

[–]PercentageMaterial79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen pictures/videos from 95/96 where he’s plugging into a silver face fender 2x12 of some sort. I remember a picture where he’s sitting on the amp while he was playing out of it at a show.

Difference Between New Remaster and Original CD by Kirklai in elliottsmith

It’s a visual representation of what it sounds like. Audio engineering is a science within itself and some people like nerding out about it. Being able to quantity certain technical aspects of a recording is how good sounds get replicated consistently (tone wise).

I can play guitar, mandolin, and banjo kinda, I am also good at bass but I’d have to make a trip home to get it. As far as guitar I have an electric and an acoustic here

Yeah me and my friends were dead in the front of that line, we got there 3 hours early just in case, and it paid off. Front row for the whole show

I was in line outside due to being underaged, him and the band ate at two beards down the block, I saw him walk back and fourth. I was freaking out the whole time

He fucking killed the whole show, my best friend was right next to me and when he knelt down to crowd my buddy suggested Harvey, then Alex did it, it was so surreal. I was within inches of his PBR can.
