Ever wonder how Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine accomplishes that crazy tone of his?! OK, me either, but I’ve got the answer and plan to share it with you whether you like it or not.
Guitars used: Fender Jazzmaster & Fender Jaguar
Pretty intense, huh?! I’ve never been able to tune a guitar without the aid of a tuner, let alone manage a mess like this. I wonder if Shields is somehow affiliated with NASA?!
Anyhow, if you’ve ever found yourself with a hunger for something to add to your collection and don’t own My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless, I strongly suggest picking it up.

as was the entry…it’s from the Rock Sellout archives. I guess I’m unsure why you felt the need to point this out as I never said it was being used on their current tour?

That is quite awesome, a lot definitely goes into achieving that great shoegazer sound.
