DO YOU?
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR ~
I BET LADIEZ CAN'T SHRED CAUSE THEY DON'T PLAY IN BANDS LOOL!
OR LIKE 80% SHIT
FUCK THIS THRED!
-
You are not very funny.
-
Women don't have the mental capacity to know what a Gm chord is, what makes you think they can shred? :-D
-
Is it okay for me to like Marnie Stern if Pitchfork likes her?
-
yeah, if you wanna be a hipster douchebag
-
Marnie Stern's music is composed with a keen eye for the unexpected. She likes to shock people into listening again, not from technical skill necessarily, but from "How the fuck did she get there from there?"
I'm not a big fan but props to her for trying something different.
-
yeah, if you wanna be a hipster douchebag
ROFL ROFL YEAH!!!! oh wait i like her o.o
-
I'll be honest with you guys, The Great Kat scares the shit out of me.
-
There's a band local to my abysmall little town that has two relatively decent female shredders in it. Too bad it's drowned out by a wall of drums and bass thouhg (seriously, why would you mic your bass drum for 50 people?)
-
I'll be honest with you guys, The Great Kat scares the shit out of me.
Guitar Player interviewed her a few years ago, and it was absolutely the stupidest thing I've EVER read. She's so fucking arrogant that it's not even funny.
That said, my boner for Boris will extend to this thread and remind you that Wata is one of my favorite guitarists ever, regardless of gender.

Point in case. I am quite fond of this (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=18411014) woman's music.
-
HOW MANY MEN DOES IT TAKE TO OPEN A BEER?
NONE IT SHOULD BE OPEN BY THE TIME SHE BRINGS IT TO YOU
Kim Fucking Gordon
I hope that "fucking" ISN'T A VERB.
Also: I quite like that Marnie Stern mentioned earlier! Even useless threads like this can result in good things ^______^
-
Oh man I remember that interview! It was honestly quite pathetic.
The best part was the next issue, when all the reader letters were "guys that was sarcasm, right? ...right? come on guys."

What inspired your concept of shred classical?
After studying at Juilliard, I realized classical music was dead. No one was listening to it. So I looked at what the moron masses were listening to, and I asked myself, “What’s the most exciting music?” Metal! Right then and there I decided to mix heavy metal with classical music. But you can’t just bring in metal styles and lay them on top of classical music, you must also maintain the virtuosity of true classical genius. This is what defines shred classical. I am systematically, single-handedly taking Juilliard morons to task, and all the classical composers after Beethoven who choked the life out of classical music because they were not virtuosos. And I’m not only resurrecting classical music, I’m resurrecting metal—which has been systematically destroyed by all those Metallica-style bands. You have to be able to PLAY, asshole!
:?
Actually I guess I could quote the whole article on here. This far in it's all gold.
Edit: One more. Then I'm done.
At the risk of getting bludgeoned, I have to ask why you feel you need all the sex and gore to promote yourself, when you are quite obviously a brilliant guitarist?
If it takes The Great Kat wearing dominatrix outfits—and DRIPPING IN BLOOD with a whip in my hand—to get people to wake up to shred classical, that’s what The Great Kat will do, because The Great Kat is not only updating classical music for the 21st-century morons, I’m also being an entertainer. I’m mixing shred metal and classical music with operatic theater. This is why my ripping new DVD, Guitar Shred, is so insane, with torture and castration and slaves. I AM THE DOMINATRIX OF WAR!
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
-
Basically, I love The Great Kat.
-
I visited her site.
I don't ever want to play guitar ever again. She terrifies me :(
-
TAKE SG

:-D

k this thread is done nobody else post in it.
Man you guys are soooooooo bad at this thread.
-
Although it's hard to name truly talented female musicians (I dunno why Kittie keeps coming to mind, cuz Kittie=Shitty) but Carla form AUTOLUX destroys the drums. Homegirl is one of the best drummers I have ever seen live. Oh and you can't fuck with Fiona Apple. So there's 2.

Women don't have the mental capacity to know what a Gm chord is, what makes you think they can shred? :-D
I know what a Gm chord is. Thank you for playing! Please try again!
-
Psh you're only saying that so that the REAL musicians here will respect you. I see right through you, GIRL.
-
yeah, take your vagina and your perfume and your puppies somewhere else, sister.
...on second thought, the puppies can stay.
-
You dismiss the vagina but keep the puppies?
...interesting...
-
You dismiss the vagina but keep the puppies?
...interesting...
Disembodied vaginae are kind of disturbing.
-
You dismiss the vagina but keep the puppies?
well, for vaginas there's masturbation. however, there is no puppy proxy. i need the real thing!
-
Nintendogs much?
-
This conversation could not get any better.
-
well, i was already scared of the great kat when i posted those videos on the other thread but after reading that interview (read: craxy ass rant) and checking out her website i am convince she should be put in a room with padded walls. and opium.
-
Perhaps I'd be going out on a limb and potentially sacrificing all male-dom when I say that a female can shred.
But only when by shred I mean elegantly but rapidly play interesting and beautiful solos and riffs while maintaining the beat and tempo of the song and after she actually learns how, via professional schooling or a (male) friend showing them exactly HOW to shred, and WHAT it should sound like. Often times people try to 'shred', and it sounds like complete horse shit. Which is no good. It needs to flow, I think.
But it can't be all elegant and beautiful. You have to have a riff in there that will cause hemorrhages of the brain and lungs, because that's how ridiculously badass and intense it is.
-
yeah, take your vagina and your perfume and your puppies somewhere else, sister.
...on second thought, the puppies can stay.
No perfume or puppies, please try again!
That said, I can't shred due to never owning or learning to play a guitar. But would I stab an amp with a guitar and then smash it? Yes. (But only if the amp and guitar were utter shit. Don't waste good guitars and amps!)
-
I can't count the number of times I've been out shredded by girls... Although that may be due to that I've only met four girls in my life so it was a pretty shocking experience :-P
-
I've never actually known a girl who plays an electric guitar. Most of the girls I know who play seem to play fairly shitty acoustic.
-
i have yet to meet a girl who plays electric, though i know a few that can kick my ass at acoustic, specially once they start singing.
-
As far as I know I think I'm the only girl around here who actually cares about rocking out and not just strumming acoustic guitars and singing about feelings, though I like that too.
-
My sister plays drums..ish. I don't think i know any girls that play electric either. In fact i don't think i know many girls that even play acoustic, some will a bit but it's not as if they *play* if you know what i mean.
-
Although it's hard to name truly talented female musicians
You utter cock.
-
It actually is for most people because there are few in the mainstream.
-
I suppose that makes sense. I'm still a little drunk./
-
Guys this is an awful awful thread its like worse than both the threads Caspian and Alex made put together. Why are you still posting in it?
-

I've only known the one. I already had a wicked-ass crush on her before I found that out, too, so when I found out she played I was like "I MUST MAKE OUT WITH THIS GIRL."
Makeouts never happened but damn, I still wish they had to this very day.
-
The only girl who can shred, that hot japanese chick from Boris.
-
Misconception! Riot grrrrrrrrrrrrrl is shred.
-

For shits and giggles, why else? You should know the route ridiculous threads take by now! Shenanigans!

Here's an interesting, on-topic article that argues the lack of indentifiable female guitar heros has to do with (1) the way the culture treats women who are expressive as a whole; and, (2) the lack of role models to encourage women to take up guitar, which, if not started at an early age, usually doesn't happen for women or men. How many guitar gods do you know who started at 30 once they had a well defined sense of self? There's none that I can think of. Check it out-

Wata is so damn awesome.
-
My ex used to play guitar. But her guitar had gone so far out of tune from underuse that it sounded like an awesome open tuning. I considered figuring out the notes and writing it down to use later.
-
never really listened to riot grrrl. Wata is the only one girl I've heard who can measure up to any male guitarists.
