Gears & Analysis - Manson 007 aka Blackie [STYLE Series #004 - Muse (August 2010)]

Black Peace [Correct name is Manson 007 aka Blackie] A jet-black bomb-making machine fully armed with a number of unique ideas.

The Manson custom model, known as the ‘Black Peace’, was introduced in 2001 and has been used to this day. The body shape and other basic guitar features are similar to those of the earlier Delorean, but the specifications are quite different. In other words, it is a further updated model based on the ‘DeLorean’. The specs shared with the Delorean at the time of production included front and rear pickups (the rears have now been replaced with bare knuckle ‘Mississippi Queen’ pickups), a piezo pickup system (which has also now been removed), and a built-in effects unit. However, the truth about the effects of pedals are not clear due to mixed accounts. It seems to have a ‘Phase 90’ and a Zvex ‘Fuzz Probe’ (or ‘Wah Probe’)…… In any case, the key point is the copper plate on the right side of the unit. It is a fact that by holding your hand over it, you can freely change the oscillation sound, just like a theremin. Therefore, there is no doubt that one of the ZVex ‘Probe’ series is incorporated. There is also a MIDI controller on the top left of the unit. This was a result of Matthew's question: "Can we mount a “Whammy” on it?" According to Hugh Manson, the original idea was to have a built-in ‘Whammy’ itself, but this was abandoned due to power supply problems, so only a MIDI controller was built in, which would be used to control the ‘Whammy’. The controller itself is a transplant of the ribbon controller originally set on the Roland ‘JP-8000’ keyboard. Incidentally, it can be assigned to any MIDI-compatible device other than the ‘Whammy’.

Pickups & Controllers The sustainer pick-up is located between the P-90 type front pick-up and the fingerboard. The rectangular object located to the left of it is a MIDI controller that works like a touch sensor. The toggle switch next to it is a kill switch. The copper plate located on the left side of the unit is the oscillation controller.

Controls The control system is as complex as that of the ‘Delorean’. There are many switches and knobs. The two knobs and switches at the bottom of the body are probably for the ‘Fuzz Probe’ (a sibling of the ‘Fuzz Factory’). The knob next to the bridge is the controller for the ‘Phase 90’, the mini-switch to the right of it is ON/OFF, the three mini-switches in a row vertically are switches for the sustainer, and the three knobs on the far right are controllers for normal guitar sounds. There is a strong theory that there is a ‘Wah Probe’ built in instead of a ‘Fuzz Probe’, but since Guitar Tech describes it as a ‘theremin’, it is probably not a ‘Fuzz Probe’?

SIM L.E.Ds On the side of the fingerboard, there is an LED that indicates the position. This is a system developed by Sim's Custom, a brand founded by Martin Sims, an engineer originally active in the field of Formula 1 racing cars, and is called Sim's L.E.Ds. Various specifications can be selected, including the colour and shape of the LEDs. The Dodd markers on the top of the fingerboard can also be illuminated, but Matthew seems to have opted for the side-only version.

Translator's Notes: I don't know why this typo error was never corrected by the STYLE editors. I thought I knew the guitar looked familiar to me, yet I've never heard it being called the Black Peace at all. To fans and Matt alike, the Manson 007 had always been 'Blackie'.

Sienna Miller looks like she was in the Charles Manson cult.

Mindy Kaling looks like she's a big car wash brush.

Emma Mackey is so ZzzZzZzzZz

Greta Gerwig is so ZzZzZz but in black

Zoë Saldana is so ZzzZzZzzZz

Lea Michelle looks like something a toddler would draw.

Jennifer Lopez is bringing something she could have worn 15 years ago and nobody would notice.

I appreciate Rebecca Fergunson's crows and that's the nicest thing I can say.

I like Zendaya's look but the one Law posted on Instagram would have been EPIC.

Lily James *gestures vaguely*

Luciana Damon *gestures vaguely*

Elsa Pataky is giving me 007 Goldfinger

Emma Chamberlain, I'm a boring millennial so I don't know who you are, and your look doesn't motivate me to stop being lazy.

Gwendoline at least brought the drama.

Anna's look is ok. I like it.

Finally got around to displaying my miniature replicas of the Manson 007 and Glitterati! Pardon the mess in the background.

The Rotary Lodge (The Vengeance of God)

Madison: Citizen's Rights, the movement of Bellicheck, to the New England Patriots, instead of the Minnesota Vikings. The NFL Meadowlands bet, on the Yakuza, not the Scottish Laureate Guild.

Garfield: The legalization of marijuana, for returning veterans, after the mass boat lift, the non-admissable Congressional testimony; "hearsay", Gotham, Ernest Charlebois's rule as Father Salvatore Luciano, World War 1 veteran.

Obama: The pressure through MI-6, on Dr. Joshua Golden, for the return to CIA service as NSA HUMINT, after five movies, as James Bond 007, with Felix Leiter as the online presence through Michael "B-Rock" Myers, and the MO as the villain, against Germans inside MI-6 wetworks, "slush funds".

Harrison: The Etrogan election, the raid inside FBI quarters of Taunton, and the revelation of extra-worldly abilities, the Celts; a connection to God, as the Devil.

Harding: The mass raids, on Catholic properties, kept outside the African orders of priests, dentists; a black pope, and a Black Pope; double black, you don't turn back, heart attack. The film, "The Conclave".

Washington: The election of Cortez, versus Rubio, the Coolidge film investment, after observance of "saudade"; not a Portugese porch monkey concept, the white Arab slave dealers, but African; the evidence of the black people, to learn, as in the 1940s Italian veterans of Tuskegee furnished arms to shoot whites; Sheriffs, having stolen African Gypsy women, to breed convict rapists.

Biden: Old Man Winter, the entire campaign, to refuse the Confederates, the Wiccan Confederation; at pain of own police daughter, Alexandra Gaetano, as rendered anemic, through veganism. Longshanks, removed to solemncy, refused from Robert the Bruce, at orders of English High Crown, and Middleton, "Hannibal Rising", David Charlebois. Aching testicles, and mouldering cunt, refused from each other. "Law and Order", McCoy and Benson.

Trump: The plant of five movies, Roger Corman Presents, through monitor populaces of Iran; a Persian-Mossad hit, outside of Students Revolution grounds, instead within the Shah. The soup man, featured on Seinfeld, as having been responsible. A force the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Nation-State of Israel, have yet to fathom.

George W. Bush Jr.: The spiked Shirley Temple, for serving with Sprite, not tonic, on a vodka hit, the source of organ failure. George W. Bush Jr., was innocent, besides creating a rumor, that Charles Manson, controlled his mind. George W. Bush Jr., was "evil", for a single day. Mike Charlebois, created Helvetica, instead of Times New Roman, for "ireland"; "la-la-land". His son's "evil day", has yet to come, but it will be wrathful, having impugned a boy, a son, inside the womb.

Las guitarras de Matt Bellamy: una radiografía al sonido de Muse

Muse Performs At Rock In Rio in Lisbon

El músico ha ocupado más de 50 instrumentos desde la formación de su banda. Entre ellos, la firma Manson Guitar Works se ha mantenido como un actor protagónico en la creación de ambientes espaciales, los cuales ya son un sello distintivo de los británicos.

En junio de 2019, el directorio de Manson Guitar Works anunció que Matt Bellamy se convirtió en el nuevo accionista mayoritario de la empresa. Tal acto no pareció ser la respuesta a un simple fin económico, sino que más bien reflejó la fidelidad que el músico ha mantenido con la marca por 20 años.

https://twitter.com/Manson_Guitars/status/1137012333375627265

Su primer acercamiento con los instrumentos de la firma —que ya había construido modelos para Jimmy Page y John Paul Jones de Led Zeppelin— fue durante la época de Origin of Symmetry (2001), un álbum que el periodista Roger Morton de la revista NME calificó como "la pesadilla hermosa de la banda más distorsionada e intensa de Gran Bretaña". En este segundo lanzamiento de estudio —el primero fue Showbiz (1999)— abundan los sonidos electrónicos que más tarde se convertirían en un sello distintivo de la agrupación inglesa.

Durante la gira de promoción del álbum en 2001 y 2002, el músico ocupó cuatro instrumentos de la marca. La primera que Hugh Manson construyó para el artista fue la Delorean, una guitarra que recibe su nombre en alusión a la máquina del tiempo que Marty McFly ocupó en Back to the Future (1985). Según una entrevista que el fabricante dio a Australian Guitar Magazine, Bellamy quería un instrumento que tuviera el sonido de las cápsulas P-90 de Gibson, pero con su forma inspirada en una Fender Telecaster. Esa búsqueda por un modelo único llevó a que Manson construyera el cuerpo en acabado de aluminio y a pesar de que esta fue retirada de los conciertos en el tour de Black Holes and Revelations (2006), durante 2011 se presentó en vivo con una nueva versión del instrumento.

Manson construyó la Laser con las mismas características técnicas que la Delorean, pero con la diferencia de que el acabado está compuesto por pedazos de vidrio quebrado que dejan entrever luces rojas, las cuales aumentan su intensidad a medida que se toca más fuerte. El inglés la ocupó en vivo por última vez el 6 de agosto de 2007 en el Madison Square Garden de New York, durante el Black Holes and Revelations Tour.

La 007 fue la primera guitarra que Manson construyó con efectos incorporados, la cual tiene en su interior los circuitos de un Zvex Fuzz Factory y un Wah Probe de la misma marca. Este último funciona a través de una placa en el costado superior derecho del cuerpo, la cual le permite manejar la intensidad del filtro. Asimismo, el instrumento tiene una pieza lineal con la que puede manipular un Digitech Whammy, a través de un sistema MIDI que envía los datos. De esta manera, el músico puede activar diferentes sonidos de manera dinámica y accesible, es decir, sin pisar esos efectos específicos en formato pedal. Además, cuenta con un Fernandes Sustainer junto a la cápsula Seymour Duncan Hot P90 del cuello, el cual le permite mantener el sonido de las notas de manera indefinida (este se convirtió en un elemento vital en la mayoría de sus guitarras). En una entrevista a Guitar Player en julio de 2010, Bellamy expresó que ya no suele ocuparla en conciertos, debido a que es "extremadamente pesada".

Antes de que Hugh Manson fabricara los instrumentos con las especificaciones del artista, Bellamy compró de segunda mano una guitarra de siete cuerdas para interpretar "Citizen Erased", canción que requiere la afinación AADDGBE.

The (secondary) Bond theme.

Over the years James Bond has not only become a classic icon of British literature and cinema but he has also been a gateway for musicians to be remembered by performing the themes to the films. Good or bad, each Bond theme is recognized in their distinction of being cinematic, orchestral, while mixing the sound developed by each artist, but the road to deciding the theme is not always easy, there is a string of politics and at times the artist chosen is not the only one to submit a piece of music. 

The first Bond theme was simply titled “James Bond Theme” and was written and performed by the Monty Norman Orchestra, secondary songs were used but mostly as background music particular to a scene on screen. The second film, From Russia With Love, was the first Bond film to have a song with the title theme. Sung by Matt Munro, this was used in the film and end credits, but is still credited on all anniversary collections as the official theme to the film. 

The first time a Bond theme was sung in the opening credits was in the third Bond film, Goldfinger. Originally to be sung by Anthony Newly, who co-wrote the song with John Barry and Leslie Bricusse. Upon reflection the three felt a woman’s voice would suit the tone better, and thus Shirley Bassey (Barry’s partner at the time) was selected as the vocalist. 

A year later a fourth Bond film was commissioned and the song “Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” was recorded as the main theme. Dionne Warwick first recorded the song, but the producers were not impressed with her vocals on the track. Shirley Bassey was asked to re-record the song, but she kept mispronouncing the title, rather singing “Mr. Kiss Kiss Bam Bam”. John Barry felt a song with the film’s title was more sellable and wrote the track with Tom Jones in mind to sing. Barry placed the original Dionne Warwick theme at the end credits, however Bassey furious her version was not used sued the producers. Both versions of the song remained unreleased until the 1990s. 

This is the first instance of a rejected Bond theme in film. Johnny Cash also recorded a rejected theme for Thunderball in his own style but this was not released until after his death. 

Many other artists over the years tried submitting themes for the Bond franchise without any consideration. Alice Cooper was deemed “not suitable” for a 007 film with his version of “The Man with the Golden Gun”. Blondie was asked to record “For Your Eyes Only” but was displeased that Eon Productions did not want to use their recorded song and rather insisted on the one that was written for them. The band rejected this theme and it went to Sheena Easton.

In a similar story, Ace of Base were the original commissioned band to perform the GoldenEye theme, however they only got to the demo stage before creative differences had them quitting, which lead The Edge and Bono writing the new theme for Tina Turner. 

Unknown by some is that some finished themes for the Bond films were scrapped last minute and replaced by something Eon Productions felt would be more commercially appealing. The first instance of this was for the film You Only Live Twice where singer Julie Rogers performed the original written theme. This was scrapped without her knowledge at the last minute and it was re-written and recorded with Nancy Sinatra. A similar situation happened to Radiohead for the film Spectre. They submitted an unreleased track from 1997 titled “Man of War” for the film’s soundtrack. Producers loved the song but were reluctant to use it as it would not be eligible for award nominations. They asked the band to compose a new theme. Radiohead jumped at the chance, putting recording sessions for their album “A Moon Shaped Pool” on hold. The result was a beautifully slow and melancholy song that was ultimately rejected due to being (you guessed it) too slow and melancholy. They have since said they felt the experience was a waste of their time.

Secondary themes are also prevalent in James Bond music. Her Majesty’s Secret Service was a return to an instrumental theme, as the title was too long to place in a song. Louis Armstrong sang the secondary theme which was used more frequently throughout the film. Secondary themes have also originally started as the original theme but moved due to commercializing on the talent of newer artists. The Pretenders had contributed several songs to the soundtrack for The Living Daylights. Their song “Where Has Everybody Gone” was intended to be the film’s theme, however during production the producers felt they needed a song that was in the same vein as the popular theme “A View to a Kill” by Duran Duran. The Pretenders song was moved to a secondary theme and Swedish band A-ha was hired in their place.

A similar situation happened during the production of Tomorrow Never Dies. The original theme was recorded by film composer David Arnold with k.d. lang on vocals. Again, the producers did not feel the song was commercial enough and the title of the track was changed from the film’s name to “Surrender” and put at the end credits. It is reported that at least twelve artists submitted tracks for this film including Pulp, St. Etienne, Swan Lee and Marc Almond, but Sheryl Crow’s submission was ultimately selected.

Due to themes being scrapped last minute or artists unable to fulfill their contracts, some singers have been hired last minute, which has left the theme of that particular film to be less than satisfying. One of the few Bond themes not to be released as a proper single is the theme from Moonraker by Shirley Bassey. Bassey was hired quite late in production due to several artists such as Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis and Kate Bush not liking or not having the time to record the theme. Bassey rarely performs the track live as she has said she feels it is “not her own.”

Jack White and Alicia Keys were also hired in a similar manner as the original theme for Quantum of Solace was meant to be performed by Amy Winehouse with Mark Ronson producing. Amy’s then health problems and drug addiction prevented her from completing their contribution. Artists such as Eva Almer also submitted for the film but again were ultimately rejected.

British band Muse lobbied for their track “Supremacy” to be used as the theme for Skyfall. The song was originally written for their album “The 2nd Law”, as such they waited too long to submit and by then Adele was chosen to sing the theme. The song however was well liked by Eon, so much in fact it was optioned and was used in the film’s trailer and TV ad spots. 

Overall there is a rich tapestry of history in Bond music, a lot of politics and some odd choices, but overall a wonderful sense of individuality from each era. The drama behind the scenes is mostly kept from the public, as to keep from distracting from the selected theme. In some cases I believe the history behind each theme is more interesting than the final result.

[bondenargentina]

Jazz Bond: Sólo para nuestros sentidos

En Argentina no hay mucho de James Bond para ver. Ni exposiciones al estilo de Bond In Motion, ni shows del estilo del Secret Cinema de Casino Royale o su versión en concierto con la banda sonora interpretada en vivo. Ni siquiera tenemos la fortuna de poder ver nuestras queridas películas reestrenadas en el cine. Hoy por hoy, lo que tenemos es Sin Tiempo Para Morir con su “final épico” que a muchos dejó gritando como el Tano Pasman cuando River se fue a la B. Pero por suerte siempre hay una alternativa para los que quieren algo más nostálgico del mundo de 007 y es ahí donde entra en nuestras vidas esta joven cantante llamada Grisel D’Angelo.

Como Shirley Manson en el videoclip de “The World Is Not Enough”, tema de Garbage para El Mundo No Basta (uno de sus temas y films favoritos), Grisel combina una bella voz con una deslumbrante apariencia en sus eventos de Jazz Bond que comenzaron en 2018, y entre Martinis que pueden disfrutar los invitados, nos ofrece versiones “jazzeadas” de esos míticos temas que adornaron las películas de Sean Connery, Roger Moore y Pierce Brosnan. El último show, del pasado 9 de octubre, nos presentó también una versión de “No Time To Die”, el tema de Billie Eilish para la última película de Bond y algunos hits de producciones afines como Un Disparo En La Oscuridad (de la saga de “La Pantera Rosa”), Peter Gunn, Danger Man y Get Smart.

Cuando terminó el show, Grisel nos dedicó unos segundos para hablarnos de su conexión con el jazz, la música, los años sesenta y, por supuesto, su adoración por el inimitable estilo de 007.

¿Cómo fue que empezaste a interesarte por la música, y qué géneros te atrajeron más?

Si bien siempre me atrajo el mundo de la música y la fantasía de los escenarios, la entrada formal fue a mis diez años, cuando me mandaron a estudiar con una guitarra que según la leyenda familiar se la ganó mi mamá en una rifa casi a la misma edad. Luego la guitarra fue mutando en piano y finalmente el piano en canto como forma definitiva de expresión musical. Pero fue con películas de la era dorada de Hollywood cuando llegué al jazz, que era la música popular de la época y banda sonora de un sinfín de cuadros llenos de elegancia y glamour. Podría decirse que tengo nostalgia por una época que no pude vivir, como un Medianoche en París. Quizás si nacía en los años 40 vaya a saber que me gustaba…

¿Cuál fue tu primera conexión con James Bond y cómo surgió la idea de hacer el Jazz Bond?

En ese amor por las películas vintage y glamorosas claramente James Bond estaba en la lista de personajes y universos que me volvían loca. Un sujeto que salvaba el mundo en esmoquin, tomando martinis, con un desborde de carisma, rodeado de chicas Bond con una estética que me sigue alucinando. Y si hay algo que representa toda esa magia son justamente las secuencias de las aperturas, con un clima impresionante pero sobre todo con música soñada. Así que fueron muchos años de pensarlo y darle vueltas en mi cabeza hasta que finalmente en el 2018 me decidí a crear un show que incluya varias de estas piezas pero con el sello del jazz.

Los temas de Bond son muy icónicos y, aunque muchos se asocian con el jazz ("Goldfinger", por ejemplo), hay otros que tienen una onda más soul, rock o balada (como "GoldenEye", "Live And Let Die" y "Tomorrow Never Dies"). ¿Cómo fue la readaptación de esos temas en clave de jazz? ¿Dirías que fue un proceso fácil o difícil? ¿Fue algo que hiciste sola o con los miembros de tu banda?

Los temas de Bond parece que nacieron para ser jazzeados. Si bien hubo una selección que más que por adaptación fue por gusto, lo que hay en común es que son temas que tienen muy presente la orquesta y el leitmotiv. Entonces quizás el desafío fue intentar que suenen diferentes entre sí durante el show y ahí entran los arreglos que fuimos creando la primera vez que nos juntamos a ensayarlos con el ensamble, cada uno con su aporte e ideas, como convertir “Live And Let Die” en un boogie woogie, “Goldfinger” en cool jazz o "You Only Live Twice” en una suerte de bolero. Y siempre con una estructura minimalista donde la voz pueda fluir con un clima aterciopelado y onírico como el de las visuales de las aperturas.

Además de Bond, te atrae alguna otra saga de espías o detectives del cine, la tele o la literatura?

Es un rotundo sí. El universo de espías y detectives es algo fascinante desde lo estético y conceptual, hasta en lo musical, por eso a veces incluimos en el show algunas piezas de Henry Mancini para Peter Gunn, la icónica Get Smart del Superagente 86 o la soul bossa de Quincy Jones que suena en Austin Powers. No es muy de agente secreto spoilear que el próximo proyecto será rearmar el show de Jazz Bond para que se convierta en una noche de jazz detectivesco, donde Bond esté muy presente pero también incorporemos varias de estas piezas mencionadas.

Siempre me dio la impresión de que te atrae mucho la onda de los años 60, donde la música y el clima social era muy diferente a lo que vivimos hoy. ¿Dirías que hay algo que el mundo de hoy debería adoptar de esa época, o readaptarlo? (Puede ser la forma de vestirse, la música, la socialización)

Diría que casi todo. Desde el gusto personal considero que los peinados, la vestimenta, los colores y sobre todo ese beat musical es lo mejor que le pasó al mundo artístico. Pero especialmente la vanguardia, las ganas de crear, de buscar nuevos sonidos y esa calidad y auténtica revolución. Ahora hay una falsa sensación de revolución que a mi criterio es un chiquitaje: ¿una James Bond mujer? ¿con eso cambiamos al mundo? Ni hablar de que me resultan nefastas algunas corrientes que ahora son consideradas nuevas tendencias musicales, como el trap. ¿Es una forma de expresión? sí. ¿Es música? De ninguna forma. Cuando no tenés contra que rebelarte empezás a escribir canciones sobre el hecho de que te ofendió, por decir algo, el logotipo de un paquete de galletitas. En ese sinsentido casi que dan ganas de rebelarse contra esa falsa revolución o viajar en el tiempo al Di Tella donde quizás pensaban y hacían cosas un poco más interesantes.

Pueden seguir a Grisel en Facebook, Twitter e Instagram, y estén atentos a su próximo show.
