"Volta had a tendency to overwank very frequently

ALLB do not"

i dont mean to be a dick about that statement, i just find it funny esp since ALLB has admitted that essentially, a lot of Conversation Piece was written just because it was fun to play. i guess that kinda constitutes wanking, and the latter half of that record def feels that way to me

There was quite a bit of ridiculous guitar happenings on CP from what I remember.

Eh, I don't think it even comes close to Volta taking 5 minute wank sessions in the middle of their tracks

@Omaha I dunno I mean the longest song ALLB have done is 7 minutes long and doesn't have any particularly over-the-top instrumental sections

whereas Volta have countless 11-minute songs with unnecessary wank sections in the middle

so basically, what Xing said

I mean you could say that Plan B had a bit of wanking a la How I Parted the Red Sea, but aside from that

wanking can still take place while vocals are occurring



and some songs on Bedlam have wank, yeah, but I really wouldn't say there's much else in their discography that fits that at all

When did wanking become a term to describe guitar playing?

@Omaha What I mean by wanking is extended sections of overly showy technical playing without purpose, and that usually constitutes guitar

Can't say I've ever heard of vocal wanking

I believe Christina Aguilera/Mariah Carey would fall into that category if it exists.

Or maybe Great Gig by Floyd, but that's the best type of wanking there is

I'm not sure if I like this band or not. But since I usually prefer dense albums (which this seems to be), I will probably love it a couple of weeks from now. Or hate it, still unsure.
