Just because we all used basic cell phones not too long ago doesn't negate the value and fun of concerning ourselves with the latest smartphones which can, and do, makes a lot of our lives easier. I couldn't perform in my business day-to-day life without my phone beeping reminders at me all day and night and searching the net via google speech recognition when I need to know a fact or two on the go.
Besides, although people care what the audience hears, chasing tones is personal, and achieving different sounds brings with it satisfaction.
I can't help but wonder if Gilmour's sound would have been so moving if he would have been satisfied with "a marshall tube combo, a cheap whatever stompbox for leads, maybe a chorus, or something for color."
Anyways, my $.02
Good points, although I don't remember any Floyd on the setlist, wasn't really danceable material. As far as tone-chasing goes, its over for me thanks to Axe-fx. I think some folks don't want it to end....
BTW, I hate smartphones. Expensive toys (like Axe-fx) :lol:
