So I work with a guy that loves KL and I mentioned that Patterson always recommends him and showed him Patterson's year end review and he said Patterson obviously gets what he's doing. And guess what, Patterson was right. He is amazing and I am not a big "rap" fan. Do yourself a favor and listen.

Since it's such a close drive and I haven't seen DBT since Nov. in Nashville I am going, but the lineup, as rlipps said, is very weak. However, it is close to the release date of the new CD so I am looking forward to hearing the new songs. Going to Forecastle next weekend and wish they were playing ...

Re: One Of These Days guitar

I appreciate all the replies. I got curious and googled guitarists who don't use pedals and I was surprised that Ian MacKaye (love his stuff) does not. A lot of the forums I visited had quite lively debates about using pedals. I think this horse is dead but I did learn something.

So how are guitarists viewed in terms of those that use a lot of pedals vs. those that play more "raw" for lack of a better term? Or is that even a legit question?
