just a few days ago someone posted a scan of a guitar-magazine's story about the pixies guitar set-up.
It said that Joey never was into chorus(or a-like) effects
listening to the shows I can definately hear some wah-wah, chorus or things that I haven't heard on the pixies bootlegs before.
Did he change his mind?
ps
Does he still play on a borrowed les paul? (borrowed from kim that is)?

| Joey Santiago's playing has been brilliant. His shy, unassuming stage demeanor is refreshing. He is a god. |

Aside of being a little shakey and nervous at the first couple shows (at least that's how it seemed to me), the guy hasn't lost a damn thing. And yeah, it does sound like he's using a few more effects. I did notice the wah at least. and I agree with Passion, there. He's very humble when he plays. It seems like he has no clue as to how much of a god he really is. He seems paranoid, too. Eyes always darting. But always brilliant.

I didn't notice any chorus effects...the Marshall amps themselves do more to the sound than you think.
Joey Santiago is a master. Rather than putting on a stage presence that makes it just look like he's tearing up his guitar, he actually lets his playing do the talking. A discreet yet powerful performance.

Prozacrat, I subscribe to your theory.
The Gospel according to prozacrat.

"His shy, unassuming stage demeanor is refreshing"
"It seems like he has no clue as to how much of a god he really is."
Yeah, thats the impression I was getting at the mpls show as well. He had the same sort of stage presence when I saw him on Frank's first solo tour. It was like he was almost embarrassed when Frank introduced him and all of First Avenue roared their approval.
It was great to see/hear him again. |

Thanks again for making sure I saw them in Minneapolis, Havalina. You're more than welcome to join the Cult of Joey, too!

| I would gladly join the Cult Of Joey. He always was the Pixies secret weapon. Now that they're touring again, maybe more people will notice. Really though, all the evidence you need is found in Havelina. |

And the revamping of In Heaven proves that he's still got the magic touch. I'd love to hear what else he could be adding to Pixies songs. One Angry Dwarf, consider yourself in. That puts us at:
prozacrat
The Calistanian
One Angry Dwarf
There's three. I think this could be a wonderful little cult. And I'll see if I can write a more fleshed-out version of the Gospel according to Prozac Rat. I'll have to wait until I'm healed though. There's so much more to Joey than meets the eye.

| Joey has been my fave gutair player for ever. My favorite moment was at the 4/13 show when Frank said, "Rock me Joe." I went totally crazy!!! Was thinking I have always wanted to see this in person...he solo was so awesome!!! |

judging from the sounds on this tour and the photos of joeys set up ,
there is no wah , its more like a phaser , if hes using all boss pedals (which it looks like..i dont have a close up) then his green pedal is a phase shifter. silver should be digital delay ie: start of #13 baby solo , i dont think he uses a DS-2 cuz theyre not yellow enuf , so maybe an SD-1 , also he has a red one , which now appears to be an MD2? didnt they used to be XT-2?
and all mixed in with feedback and marshalls |

In response to the last three posts, Passion, I wasn't sure if you wanted on board or not. You hadn't posted after the subject was brought up and I didn't just want to start adding names without people actually asking to be on board. It'd be kind of like how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is archiving names of dead people and baptizing them by proxy into the Morman faith. It wouldn't be fair. But it sounds like you do want on board, so welcome Brother Passion to the Cult of Joey. And Daisy Girl, I always found myself frowning a bit at FB&TC shows when they'd play Monkey and Frank would say "Rock me, Joe," and Joey wouldn't be there. I was too happy to see Frank say that and have Joey fulfill Frank's request. And thanks jussssss for the info on the pedals. I've been wondering what he has been using and wanting to try incorporating a pedal or two of his into my setup. Somebody should try taking a picture of just his pedals at a show soon so we can get an even more definitive and comprehensive roll call of what he uses, though I'm pleased to read what you submitted. Sidebar: should I start a thread in the Pixies general chat regarding the Cult of Joey? It sounds like plenty would want to join. We could refer to eachother as Brother and Sister in the thread and generally discuss the marvel that is Joey. Thoughts? Blessings?

| That part of the song in Minneapolis was probably my favorite part of the whole show. Joey is great. |

Naturally. Should I start another thread and leave this one for discussion on his performance during this tour, which I guess it was originally about before we got sidetracked on his divinity?

Hey, looks like more are on board now. ShaunWestphal, I'll take your submissive "If Passion's in, I'm in" as your request to join. CroutonFuton, I assume you're referring to the Cult of Joey since you mentioned the sound of God headbanging. I think I'll start a new thread in the general Pixies discussion area.

Daisy Girl, I am here to help, in an authoritarian, charismatic sort of way.  More of this will be explained when I begin a new thread (when I get around to it. I'm currently both busy and gimpy). But in response to your last question, I believe the term "Cult of Frank" has already been thrown around, and is also the name of one of our wonderful moderators. I won't try to claim anything pertaining to that. And I believe that in one way or another, we're all already members of the cult of the Pixies. It hasn't been too terribly defined, but you know who you are if you're part of it. Hell, if you have a dozen posts on this forum, you're a member whether you like/admit it or not. I would be apprehensive about a cult of Kim or David. Not that they don't deserve one, but their respective personalities and characters I don't believe lend themselves to make them the center of a cult. I think they scream CLUB. I'm only interested, at this point in time, in developing a cult of Joey. The purposes and intentions (completely harmless, yet severly devotional) will be explained in this impending thread I keep saying I'll start. I don't know if this answers any of your questions.
