Blaze Of Nowhere

From the Wikipedia page for Just South Of Nowhere...

Penned by Gin Blossoms guitarist Jesse Valenzuela, this song exemplifies the Gin Blossoms southwestern / Tempe alternative rock sound, mixing 4/4 rock and roll with country, and the use of creative pullups and pulldowns on the guitars of Valenzuela and the other Gin Blossoms guitarist, D. Scott "Scotty" Johnson sound reminiscent of the Jon Bon Jovi song Blaze of Glory. Not surprisingly, in American pop culture around the 1988 (when the Gin Blossoms were first forming and began playing, the film Young Guns came out with Jon Bon Jovi's song as a centerpiece.
Aside from being one hell of a single sentance (that I noticed when I was copying to quote), Blaze Of Glory? [smile] Freakin' hilarious. I can imagine Valenzuela would get a huge laugh out of that! [wink] Hmmm, also note that Blaze Of Glory was circa 1990. [wink] Go Wikipedia, it's your birthday!

I almost titled this Just South Of Glory, but that sounds a bit suggestive! [razz]

Edit...

"Pullups and pulldowns on the guitars"?!?! Are these per chance anything like pull off's and hammers on's? [wink] Who the hell wrote that Wikipedia article? [rolleyes]
