Robbmonster said: As for Mr Kurdt wanting pedals because KC had them... He's young. He can emulate his heroes until he develops his own identity. I strongly doubt if anybody here picked up a guitar and immediately started by doing what nobody had done before. I think the reason most people start playing guitar is because they hear something they like and it inspires them to do so. And it makes sense to want to emulate it.
One man's "ripoff" is another man's "loving tribute".
yeah i know i'm not kurt my playing style is almost the same but i realize it will never be the exact same and over the last few months i've realized i cant be kurt kurt was kurt.sooo now i'm takeing my own identity into my musical desingn and writing songs and what not and most of the stuff i've written sounds more like sonic youth or black flag i'm tired of trying to be dez kurdtz so i'm just going to be myself and what not the tone i want is a mix of exempermintal,sonic youth gooera,grunge,metal mix.
