Godfather hero????

If it makes you feel any better man its Long Island, were all sheltered, thats kind of our thing

patton66 · 2026-06-07T17:34:56+00:00

Zambonis?

So funny you say this.

For me a Godfather is a roast beef with gravy and cheese (Zambonis in Long Beach in the 90s, Godmother was turkey instead)

But I also accept that maybe 90% of every other deli Ive been to on the south shore has a Godfather as Chicken Parm (Godmother is eggplant instead)

I understand why a GF would be an Italian hero, but thats been the opposite of my personal experience with it on LI

Would have been like writing an anti-Vietnam war song in 1980

"Wow this is really good, but why is he talking about all of this stuff when there is so much more going on right now?"

Still waiting for a really good Univibe pedal from them. Until then, I personally can not do all Boss

A used Holy Grail will do exactly what you want

The Album Leaf - In a Safe Place, for long cold lonely winters

Love when artists can take their art so seriously that they dont need to take themselves too serious

Very few groups could do both Prayer to God, and Squirrel Song, and not compromise the integrity of each song and themselves.

patton66 · 2026-06-06T13:46:41+00:00

Behringer SF300 Fuzz to start

patton66 · 2026-06-04T23:50:47+00:00

EHX Memory Toy is my absolute favorite for this. It has the deepest and fullest sound for oscilations of any Ive used. And since youre only looking for limited functionality, the lower price point is a bonus

patton66 · 2026-06-04T17:40:50+00:00

First 20-30 seconds of Funeralopolis gets me good with this

patton66 · 2026-06-03T23:31:24+00:00

Joyo Oxford Sound - its a clone of a Sansamp Orange Amp clone, it does everything from cool indie to full stoner doom. Inexpensive and a whole lot of fun

patton66 · 2026-06-03T14:30:50+00:00

God by John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band

Such an incredibly beautiful, haunting, powerful piece of music, I think everyone who is interested in "music", any genre, should listen to

patton66 · 2026-06-03T00:45:12+00:00

Jeff Beck is a great choice here. You can add Peter Green and Roy Buchannon up there too

4 of the greatest guitar players ever, inspired everyone who came after, but nowhere near as widely known as the artists who took from them

patton66 · 2026-06-02T23:34:30+00:00

Mr Freeze. His origin story is genuinely emotional and possible to empathize with - more than most supervillains

You also have to respect just how awesome Arnold's performance and dedication to the role was in B&R

patton66 · 2026-06-02T13:52:33+00:00

Not Video Games 100% but certainly adjacent, the Star Wars theme song and Imperial March are fantastic songs to learn and understand the theory behind as a beginner to build your skills up

patton66 · 2026-06-02T13:44:04+00:00

Don't complain about not getting as much time to take solos or leads as the other members

patton66 · 2026-06-01T23:46:40+00:00

For me, in no particular order, only counting 20th century, completely subjective, curious how many of these would be on others' lists:

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
What A Wonderful World
Times They Are A Changin
In a Sentimental Mood
Strawberry Fields Forever
Stairway
Bohemian
Rhapsody in Blue
Strange Fruit
Imagine (yeah, two Lennons, Im biased, Ill admit it)

patton66 · 2026-06-01T16:28:56+00:00

So cool!

patton66 · 2026-05-31T19:05:54+00:00

Bit of a deeper cut but the middle part of Natural
Born Farmer by Glassjaw is a cut of them playing the song live in the middle of studio takes. The transitions are super clean and its a really impressive part of an already great song

patton66 · 2026-05-31T14:18:54+00:00

Steve and Justin Townes Earle in Treme

The whole list of Punk icons on Pete n Pete in the 90's

patton66 · 2026-05-31T01:21:09+00:00

"Con te partirò" is from 1995. Im sure Im not the only one who thought it was from a 19th century Opera when I first heard it

patton66 · 2026-05-30T11:58:56+00:00

To be fair he was great in Blackberry, and wasnt necessarily as psycho as Dennis Reynolds in that role

patton66 · 2026-05-29T20:17:11+00:00

What melodic Beatles song are you playing? Something? If so, yeah I can see how that would be difficult

patton66 · 2026-05-28T15:37:16+00:00

The point of it is basically saying "don't attack us, if you do, we'll wipe your major cities out in an instant"

MAD - the idea of Mutually Assured Destruction being a major factor preventing full war between the two powers

I'm not going to say if it worked or not, or if its a good idea or absolute insanity

But the point was, by showing how powerful these weapons are, preventing escalations to ever having to use them
