Seether Geezer

Undaunted by my less than stellar performance of Gasoline I picked Remedy which has a slower guitar part.  Not that I'm ready to give up on Gasoline, but I don't think I could convincingly sing, "I wanna waste her monthly blood, wanna get some on my love."  I don't have the parts for either activity. So I started with Remedy taught by Guitar Smith who plays it re-e-eally slow.  I got the first part sounding like the actual song so I got brave, since everyone else was out of the house, and plugged the electric guitar into the amp and switched it on.  I actually might learn this one!   I went back to learn the next part and hit my cup of tea with the headstock of the guitar and tipped it onto my desk and laptop.  The guitar was in the clear but my mouse is a little damp and my mousepad is sticky.  No sparks or fire from the laptop, so I think I'm good.  Not particularly coordinated, but good. March 13th.  Anyone want a mediocre rock guitar...

I  definitely had trouble picking the next album to cover.  Verbally rather than the musical definition of cover.  I have been listening to Disclaimer II, Seether 2002-2013 [greatest hits] and Holdings Onto Strings Better Left to Fray.  And of course Fragile.  The plethora of choices.  The depth of indecision.  And yet, I'm going to pick one so I can procrastinate doing my taxes for a bit longer.  I need to do a correction from a previous post.  The alternate radio station in my state does play Seether!  The afternoon lineup was Trapt, Stone Sour, Collective Soul, 3 Doors Down, Foo Fighters, Tool, Bush and Seether.  Ha! I decided on Seether 2002-2013 , for several reasons, and I'm going to do a different take on it. The first disc starts with Fine Again , Driven Under , Gasoline , and Broken .  Those four and the two on the second disc, Out of My Way and Hang On were previously released on Disclaimer II and Remedy , Tru...

  I wandered away for a minute because I purchased Fragile, the Saron Gas album.  No, just the streaming one from Amazon.  The album is $902.81.  I'm crazy, but not $900 worth of crazy. Does anyone else find the 81 cents sort of random?  Anyway, I was listening to classic Seether, Disclaimer II, and wondered what the Saron Gas versions sounded like by comparison.  That's for another time but was a great several days.  I certainly have a few things to say about Beer [the song].  I don't know why every song says [Explicit] on it.  Only about 3/4 of them are explicit.  If you find the word fuck explicit.  I'll move on. 7) Let Me Heal .  The bass sounds very grumbly at the start, like a throbbing motor.  [If it's not the bass, tell me.]  Almost a military march cadence until it smooths out into the chorus, "Please just let me heal"  The juxtaposition of the what the lyrics are saying, the somewhat passive poetry, an...
