| The thing that I'm talking about can best be heard at the beginning of "There Goes My Gun" and during the end of the solo on "Hey" right before Black goes, "Huh, said the man to the lady." Joey is playing notes on the B and G strings, bending the G-string up a whole step to the same pitch of the note he is playing on the B string. The sound it produces is great, very angular. Bush's "Swallowed" single, from what I remember, totally ripped this off, in addition to the fact that Steve Albini produced it. Not that this technique is specific to the Pixies. In fact, I'm wondering, what other bands have you heard do this. I'm not talking about this method being used in some straightforward sounding guitar solo, I'm talking about it being used in the weird manner that Joey uses it, cuz it's very unique. |

Jeremy (from the Bennies, who had their last album engineered by Albini) told me that Steve Albini begged Bush not to include Swallowed on the album because it was such an obvious ripoff.

queens of the stone age do it in a couple of songs, the lost art of keeping a secret and song for the dead
it's awesome, if a little overused nowadays |

| The solo of Where Is My Mind does it at the start and also Jimi Hendrix does it in the song Manic Depression and maybe another Hendrix song, can't remember. |

| That's an old electric blues trick. Lot's of people have used it. It is a great lick though. |

Weezer did it alot. Most notably during "Holiday", I liked how they used them in that song, it's pretty subtle, so you're going "Where is this sound that's kicking my ass?"
But yea, it's nothin new. It's a cool trick, albeit overused. |
