Garage Music
Guitar-Heaven February 12, 2010
When I was growing up, my friends and I would spend hours in the garage emulating our favorite rock bands. We didn’t always have the best instruments—usually just discount electric guitars from the local pawn shop—but we certainly played with gusto. When we first started out, I’m slightly embarrassed to say that we were into the hair metal band craze of the 80’s.
Thankfully that fad was killed and cooler heads prevailed. Not that I am a huge Metallica fan, but I certainly appreciate the silver bullet that they dealt to hair metal. Reminiscing on those days playing with my friends, I often wonder what the music we put out sounded like. I’m sure that we didn’t sound nearly as good as we thought we did, but that wasn’t really the point.
