I'm now way more of a Wendy fan than I ever was of Prince.
I must use more chorus in the future.
I was really impressed!!
Apart from her undoubted amazing talent as a musician of course
Yea. That whole rebranding Chinese pedals and selling them for 4x the price and denying it for days was the worst. Muppet.
But I did watch half of this video earlier on this morning & it was really excellent. Very interesting & when she played the Purple Rain intro perfectly it was a definite ‘wow’ moment for me. Absolutely amazing what she brought to the song, Prince basically said ‘what can all of you musicians bring to this song idea?’
Google 'Vertex Pedals scandal'. They were buying cheap pedals, rehousing them, gooping them and then selling them as boutique pedals. Someone noticed the sound was the same as these other pedals and then someone degooped them and voila, the case was solved. The company denied it and denied until they didn't and apologised.
I know Prince changed direction/sound over the years but it always struck me as interesting that the sound he had during their tenure went when they left, or were fired from his band, yet was still present with them afterwards. Maybe their contribution was bigger than we realise.
'This is the Life' is a great song. Talented lady/ladies
Sadly that describes most so called ''boutique pedals'' and pedal builders, the smart ones just buy the boards and house them themselves, instead buying pre housed pedals to strip down to the boards, before they get rehoused in the ''boutique pedal builder's'' branded housing and drowned in goop. There was a big one around 2010 with a boutique wah pedal, that the artist tied in with it, but had no involvement with the building and supplying of pedals, was forced to get involved in, and even refund people out of his own pocket over. It's even worse when you get to boutique fuzz pedals, boost, distortion ...., what you would call ''the standard pedals'' that the majority of guitarists have on their boards.
She gives a much better interview here than the guy deserves, with his mumbling, closed questions.
And, hardly surprising, I’ve been playing PR absolutely nowhere near correctly. Have you?
