The 10 Greatest Guitarist Of All Time

0
0

10. Carlos Santana

top 10 guitarist of all time

For more than 5 dacades, Carlos has evolved in numerous musical directions but never losing his his passionate, immediately recognizable guitar tone. No one masters tone as Carlos Santana. He may not be the fastest nor most technically skilled guitarist in the world in terms of notes per second, but nobody plays as passionate and with such clarity as Carlos Santana. Why use hundreds of notes and shred to no purpose when you can say eveything in one note.

 

 

9. Randy Rhoads

top 10 guitarist of all time

Randy Rhoads was the frontrunner in introducing neo-classical influences to metal guitar playing. One could argue that without Rhoads’ rise to prominence the way might not have been paved for the success of future shredders like Malmsteen and Vai. Many hold Rhoads singlehandedly responsible for Ozzy’s rise from the ashes of Sabbath in ’79 to ‘80’s metal prominence. When Blizzard of Oz came out in ’80 there was nothing else like it – who can forget the opening riff of “Crazy Train” or images of Ozzy carrying Rhoads on his shoulders as the guitarist’s fingers attacked the fret board of his polka-dotted Jackson Flying V?

 

 

8. Jeff Beck

top 10 guitarist of all time

In a society where people worship speed, brilliant guitarists like Jeff Beck are usually forgotten. Most “modern” people have probably never heard of the name Jeff Beck, but most guitarists will tell you he’s one of the best. Jeff’s career spans decades of innovation, from the Yardbirds, The Jeff Beck Group, Beck, Bogert, & Appice to numerous incarnations making innovative instrumental music, to his recent work with Imelda May. Having experimented in most genres of music, Beck has laid down the foundations of modern music, along with other greats like Hendrix, Page, and Clapton, all of whom praise him for his genius.

 

 

7. Joe Satriani

top 10 guitarist of all time

Who taught Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Kirk Hammet (and others) in the first place? Joe. He was a master before these guys picked up the axe and has pushed the envelope miles since. Most people have heard Joe, but probably never realized it. Pay attention and you’ll hear his compositions everywhere. He does it all… Any style, any mode. See him live and you’ll be hooked. He’s the guitarists’ guitarist.

 

 

6. Stevie Ray Vaughan

top 10 guitarist of all time

 In an interview B.B. king was asked, “who impresses you as a guitarist”, his response was, “they say that I’m the KING but I say that STEVIE RAY VAUGHN is the Master”.

Along with his band “Double Trouble”, they pretty much revived the blues in the 1980s. Vaughan had a signature eclectic yet brutal style. His guitar playing reflected the classic blues but his creativity and raw talent took it to a whole new level previously unheard by any other guitarist.

He was a sponge, he absorbed many influences from many guitarists like B. B King, Hendrix and many others. He still influences many guitarists even after his death.

 

 



5. David Gilmour

top 10 guitarist of all time

The guitar is an extension of David Gilmour, together they are joined as one. No one writes better solos than David Gilmour. Comfortably Numb, Marooned, High Hopes, Echoes, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Sorrows, Dogs, Pigs (Three Different Ones), Time, On The Turning Away, Hey You, In The Flesh? , Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2, Run Like Hell, Money.

He is not the fastest player. He’s not playing the most complicated pieces, but he touches your soul with his guitar playing.

 

 

4. Eric Clapton

top 10 guitarist of all time

There are thousands and thousands who can force a guitar to sputter. There are hundreds who can make a guitar talk. But at any given time, there is only a very select few who can truly let a guitar sing. Clapton is one of those few (along with Hendrix, Santana, and a couple others). Clapton writes his music straight from the heart, finding inspiration is his real life. From his relationship with Pattie Boyd, with whom he was madly in love (Wonderful Tonight), and later his deteriorating marriage with her (Running on Faith), to the death of his son (Tears in heaven), Clapton puts more raw emotion into his music than any other guitarist.

 

 

3. Jimmy Page

top 10 guitarist of all time

Jimmy is, as far as rock and roll goes, one of the most hard working guitarists ever. Long before Led Zeppelin and before the Yardbirds Jimmy was a first call studio musician music laying riff after riff over big music bands in England and turned down the Yardbirds invites to play guitar for them. He was considered the best in England long before us yanks ever heard his name. He is tasteful and can find a riff for most any emotion. He is very versatile and can play the bluegrass, blues, soft rock and pretty much set the standard (some might even say invented) hard rock. He can play repetitive rhythm and create on the fly. He is innovative playing with instruments that few people have even heard of and works with the recording studio to take creativity from the engineers and producers and put it as he says “in an iron vise. ” He helped pioneer the fuzz and was one of the first to put on record overdriven tube amps.

 

 

2. Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen)

top 10 guitarist of all time

Undeniably one of the most influential guitarists in history, not just because of the high speed shredding, but because of how he added color to the music with pinch and natural harmonics, dive bombs, fun licks and oh yeah fingertapping. Not that he invented all those things, but he made them hugely popular. A guy that evidently had a lot of fun with the guitar. I think he does play with quite a lot of feeling. Not saying he’s the best in history. But he was the birth of the modern flashy guitar player concept. Has some great song like Running with the Devil and Panama. There is no one in this top 10 list that comes close to Eddie Van Halen between 1974 and 1981

 

 

1. Jimi Hendrix

top 10 guitarist of all time

Pretty much every list has Jimi at the top, it’s for a reason. The guy is THE Guitar God. Jimi Hendrix revolutionized the playing of the electric guitar. Before Hendrix, guitarists just strummed the guitar, played the chords, maybe picked out a solo melody. Hendrix got sounds out of the guitar that nobody had ever heard. He was THE innovator. He didn’t just accept the guitar method book approach to playing the guitar and approached the instrument as more than just chords and twangy solos. He used the guitar and amplifier together to create even more unique sounds. He was the first to use feedback as a part of his playing. He brought, fuzz and distortion and feedback and reverb into the mainstream of guitar. You want to talk about shredding… Hendrix did it with his teeth

Japan

Don’t tip anyone: “Tipping is just not part of the culture. Don’t even leave the small change. People will come running after you with it.”

Don’t wear your shoes in someone’s house: “If you see other people taking their shoes off, do the same. (Note: there’s a small area right inside the entrance called a ‘genkan’ which is usually one level below the rest of the house, where you take off your shoes. You don’t take them off outside the house!)”

Don’t hug people you just met: “Most people don’t like it, especially older folk.”

Don’t stand on the wrong side of the escalator: “In Tokyo you stand on the left. In Osaka you stand on the right. Follow what other people are doing.”

Answers by Makiko Itoh

 

Germany

Don’t do the Nazi salute: “Not even in jest. It’s a crime and every year there are tourists arrested for it. Also don’t carry any Nazi symbols on you.”

Don’t stare: “You’d appear either uneducated or mentally ill.”

Don’t be overly friendly: “Germans like to gradually warm up to people and take time to really get to know them before acting like BFFs.”

Don’t wish someone a happy birthday before the actual day: “The origin is a superstition that something bad will happen to them (they might die) before their birthday if you do, however this rule is not limited to superstitious people. Even bright, rational Germans will feel uncomfortable because it’s just not done.”

Answers by Judith Meyer

 

Norway

Don’t stare at naked people: “People are pretty relaxed about nudity, and both men and women will for example change on public beaches without any attempt at covering themselves up. You are however expected to look away.”

Don’t unwrap flowers before you give them as a gift: “Germans do this.”

Don’t ask people about church: “Most attend none, and asking this is seen as intrusive, rude and downright weird.”

Don’t expect special treatment: “People are very informal here and being on a first-name-basis with anyone short of the King is the norm. Even the prime-minister of Norway is most often referred to by first name.”

Answers by Eivind Kjørstad

 

Russia

Don’t give an even number of flowers as a gift: “That’s for dead folks. Proper bouquet will have 1/3/5/7 flowers.”

Don’t rely on a credit card: “There are lots of places which only accept cash.”

Don’t assume the people support everything the government does: “Quite often we don’t. Don’t criticize our government. We do it a lot by ourselves, we don’t need your help in that.”

Answers by Katherine Makhalova

 

Singapore

You can get fined for a lot of things in Singapore, including: feeding the birds, spitting, urinating in public, smoking in public, having your pet in public, eating or drinking on public transportation, and littering, among other things.

Answers by Xu Beixi

 

Kenya

Don’t disrespect religion: “Almost everyone you meet is religious; religion here is always in fashion, so if someone asks you if you are religious, don’t take offense because it is common for everyone to follow a religion, and around 80% of the population are Christians.”

Don’t be impatient: “Hardly anything runs on time, with an exception of a couple of business meetings and bank closing hours and most other businesses. Everything runs late, don’t get pissed off or impatient, learn to go with the flow, things will happen, just not on time.”

Don’t talk about sex in mixed company: “It is wrong and is frowned upon and people might not want to be in your company after that.”

Don’t call someone by their first name: “Miss, Mrs, Mr., Dr. and Engineer so and so (mostly the surname) are totally accepted. If you want to call someone whose name you don’t know, refer to them as madam or sir. You get quite a lot of bonus points for that. Only refer to someone by their first name if they introduce themselves as such.”

Answers by Rose Thuo



 

New Zealand

Don’t confuse New Zealanders with Aussies: “We don’t like it!”

Don’t expect to see Kiwi birds: “They are almost extinct. Irony!”

Don’t make fun of rugby, Lord of the Rings, or the Queen of England: “All Blacks is a rugby team and probably a religion. Haka is a war-cry performed before a war or, nowadays, a rugby match. Do not make fun of it!”

“Kiwis are proud of Lord Of the Rings!”

“The Queen of England is still a big deal here! We still celebrate her birthday and swear allegiance to her.”

Don’t freak out about people not wearing shoes: “It’s perfectly normal to go about in public places without footwear, and in some cases a shirt. You will still be served.” 

Answers by Mayur Makheri

 

Turkey

Don’t make the okay sign with your thumb and forefinger: This is considered obscene in Turkey.

Lay off the alcohol: Turks don’t drink much — maybe an occasional glass of wine every once in a while — and being drunk is considered a disgrace.

Don’t blow your nose or pick your teeth in public: Turks consider both of these impolite when done at a restaurant, cafe, or bar.

 

India

Don’t kiss in public: “In some jurisdictions this can get you into jail under ‘public obscenity’ (a lot of our laws are stuck in the Victorian era).”

Don’t make physical contact with the opposite sex: “Hugging and handshakes are still frowned upon in most parts of the country among members of opposite sex. Unless the local offers to hug or handshake, don’t.”

Answers by Balaji Viswanathan

 

France

Don’t expect a huge amount of vegan options: “Notify people you visit and be careful in which restaurants you go. Very few people are vegan in France compared to some other countries, and although the situation is slowly improving, the awareness and acceptance of it are still quite poor. Some older people especially can consider it a ‘weird’ or even radical behavior.”

Don’t talk about money: “For example, you can tell you quit a job because you were underpaid, but you should not mention how much exactly. There are old taboos about speaking of money in the French culture, many people consider it a ‘dirty’ topic.”

Don’t expect people to speak English: “The French educational system is bad at teaching foreign languages, with an excessive focus on reading and writing compared to conversational skills. Many older people will only know a bit of bad and heavily accented English and/or possibly German or Spanish.”

Answers by Alexandre Coninx

 

Mexico

Don’t patronize people: “We’re a developing country and we’re aware that some stuff is just backwards over here. Don’t ever imply that you are ‘better’ than anyone, especially if that hinges on you being a foreigner.”

Don’t be easily offended: “We have a huge sense of humor as a culture. Nothing is out of bounds for us! We’ll mock, ridicule, insult, pick on and put down just for the fun of it, on a regular basis!”

Don’t be afraid to try everything: “We love it when you try to say that ridiculously difficult word in Spanish, and you’ll be met with proud cheers if you brave a bite out of that horrifyingly spicy pepper, or down that shot of tequila.”

Answers by Alejandro Suárez

 

United Kingdom

Don’t cut in line: “Queue jump — this is the only crime that the population would consider bringing back capital punishment for.”

Don’t ask how much money someone makes: “Instead play a curious guessing game by asking someone what they do, where they live, where they went on holiday, and figure it out by correlating this with their accent.” 

Don’t invite someone to your home: “Unless you know them very very well.”

Answers by Thomas Goodwin

 

Ireland

Don’t say “Top of the morning to you”: “I don’t know how this phrase became associated with Irish people, perhaps it was used in the distant past. But it’s not now, and it’s just really irritating.”

Don’t attempt an Irish accent: “To us there is no Irish accent; there are Cork accents, Dublin accents, Kerry accents etc. For us an accent contains reams of unspoken information about a person (Urban/Rural, social status) aside from the locational information.”

Don’t be cheap: “The classic is in a rounds situation at a pub. If someone is offering to buy the first round, it is perfectly acceptable to say ‘Oh I’m on a budget, I’ll get my own.’ It is not ok to join the round and then not pay for one.”

Don’t call the UK the mainland: “As far as we’re concerned, France is the mainland.”

Disgusting Sex Mattress Found In The Woods Gets An Amazing Make Over

mattress makeover

Three guys found a grimy, disgusting mattress in the middle of the woods that was obviously used for some back alley fucking, and cleaned it up a bit. The good Samaritans changed the sheets, planted some flowers, and even left a Tupperware organizer full of clean panties and condoms (wrap it before you tap it, kids). The fuck mattress had become the love mattress.

10 Answers To Questions You Always Wondered About

0
0

Why are Mexican drug cartels so much more excessive in their brutality than their counterparts in Italy or other countries?

Italian mafias have been around a lot longer, have deeper ties to the local communities and recognize the importance of subtlety in their operations, which are more diversified.

The Mexican gangs are relatively new, with a LOT of sudden money available, a different socio-economic landscape with a huge population in poverty, a larger playground, and a military-political challenge partially funded by the US that requires a stronger response, in a culture that is affected by brutal foreign narco experience and intrusion (Latin American revolutions and cartels, etc).

The more sedate and sophisticated organized crime rackets like the Sicilian Mafia and the Yakuza are much older and their roots are tied in more closely to the community. All the bloodlust and brutality had burned out centuries ago, and now it’s only a matter of shifting around the existing pieces on the chessboard and waiting for the inevitable extinction. With Russian and Mexican organized crime, the game is still young and fierce and there’s still lucrative profits to be had. Given that, the brinkmanship between groups is still huge. They behead one of your people, you behead 10 of their people AND mail their heads back to them with their genitals stuffed in their mouths.

Why is out-of-state tuition so much more expensive than if you go to a college in your home state?

This occurs because your State subsidizes the cost of college by giving tax money to the universities within its borders. If you are from a different State you and your family do not pay those taxes and so are not entitled to the benefits of those taxes. You are not given the discount that in-State students get and instead pay the full price.

How can a Chinese company make money on a $0.01 product with free shipping? 

If you are purchasing from sites like eBay, lots of sellers do this at a small loss to boost their rating rather than for profit. This in turn makes their store more visible, and the higher cost items will makeup for the loss.

Think of it as a customer acquisition cost.

Why was the U.S. So aggressively against communism during the Cold War?

What was really happening is that the US was struggling for world dominance with the USSR, and countries that were on the Soviet side were communist and countries that were on the US’s side were largely capitalist. Countries that became communist typically switched sides, so by opposing communism, the US tried to prevent potential allies of the USSR from joining them.

The communism/capitalism thing was more a marker for who’s side you were on than anything else.

Why is an orchestra so big? How can 20 cellos improve the music in a way 5 cellos can’t?

3 reasons:

  1. Orchestral compositions have a lot more separate parts than you realise.

  2. Two cellos playing in unison sound “bigger” than just one, for obvious reasons, even if you match the volume.

  3. When the orchestra started to take shape, there was no electronic amplification. Especially for the lower frequencies, it was very hard for a single instrument to fill a hall with a pleasing listening level. Really, only the piano and the organ could do it effectively on their own, other instruments had to be multiplied to make them loud enough to be heard. Even though you can now make a single cello as loud as you damn well please, if you want classical music to sound the way it did when it was first written, you need to play it the way the composer would have heard it.

Why do so many news agencies cite Reuters stories for their information? What’s so special about Reuters?

Most outlets reporting news can’t afford to have a presense around the world. So they have to get a lot of their coverage of global news from a few companies that have extensive global networks of reporters, such as Reuters and Associated Press.

As an example, for most of the year, your average newspaper doesn’t need to have a reporter in Ethiopia or Tajikistan. But if something newsworthy happens there, they want to report it. So they’ll get the story from Reuters reporter who’s there and go from that.

How come a burglar, who gets hurt while robbing a house, can sue the owner and win?

Kotka v Briney is probably what you’re referring to. In that case it was because the home in question was not occupied and the would be burglar was attacked by a booby trap. The use of booby traps are illegal because they attack people indiscriminately and do not use force to protect human life rather only property.

Life, even a burglar’s life, is more valuable than a vacated property according to law. This case is famous because the press misrepresented the facts and a lot of people were upset by the non-factual scenario.

Why do auto makers like Toyota, Nissan, Volkswagen, Honda, Ford name their cars something like Camry, Versa, Passat, Accord, Fusion; while luxury auto makers like Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, Acura, BMW only name their cars using a series of letters and numbers like RX, G35, A4, MDX, 328i? 

Luxury auto makers want your focus on the brand not the make of the car. So you’ll say I own a Lexus, versus I own an F-150.

“Premium” products and the companies produce them want you to focus on the brand, which is why very high-end items (or perceived high-end items) typically have model numbers.

In fact, Nissan, Toyota, and Honda all came to this conclusion in the mid to late 80s when they launched their premium brands (Infinity, Lexus, and Acura) respectively.

Those Acura still had names at the beginning.

This has evolved over time, in the past, high-end products still had names. Lincoln Continental, Cadillac El Dorado, etc.

You can sometimes see variants of this approach outside the auto industry.

For example, Apple does weird little sub-brands, but almost never change them. Very rarely do they add a real name.

  • iMac (Macintosh sub brand)
  • iPhone 3G, 4, 4S, 5, etc (iPhone sub-brand)
  • iPod 40GB, etc. (due to the tremendous success of iPod, they had sub-sub-brands, iPod Mini, iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle, etc)
  • Macbook (Pro as a variant)
  • Apple TV (no variants)

In fact, Apple is so ubiquitous that the name “Apple” doesn’t even need to be used much anymore since everybody knows “Mac”, “iPod/Phone/Pad”, etc, are Apple products. Kind of like how GM doesn’t call it a General Motors Chevrolet Camaro. They let the GM part stay out of the marketing name.

There are a few basic assumptions we see today:

  1. Very few people will ever use more than one or two words to describe a product. “I drive a Corvette”, or “I have an iPhone”, for example. You might see “I have a Samsung Galaxy” or “I drive a Toyota Camry”, but you’ll almost never see the 3rd word. “I have a Samsung Galaxy S2” or “I won a Toyota Camry LE” or whatever. The third word is usually reserved as a trim level or modifier.
  2. The addition of a “model number” adds an aire of performance/technical prowess.

Part of this comes, in the US at least, from the way the military names their hardware. With the giant US defense budget and the idea that the US military is driving technology and research & development, the US public subconsciously has heard about all the high-end military hardware referred to by model numbers for years.

The M16, the M1A1, the F22, the SR71, the A10, the B2. These model numbers denote technology and performance in the US and as such, in the US especially, other companies have tied into that and used a very similar “letter followed by numbers” naming scheme. Auto manufacturers are the most obvious. Camera manufacturers do variants of this too. Nikon D700, Canon 400D, etc. Why don’t they use something like the “Nikon SuperPhoto” or “Canon UltraDef” or something? They keep those at the low end. CoolPix and Powershot. The high end gets model numbers.

Why does McDonald’s only sell the McRib for part of the year? 

Aside from weak sales, other theories for the limited availability of the McRib include the higher prices and unreliable supply of pork, the limited-time allure making it a better loss leader for McDonald’s, and the scarcity adding to the hype of the sandwich. An informal 2011 study into the “Existence of the McRib” draws a correlation between the price of pork and the timing of McDonalds offering the sandwich, as all five of the US McRib offerings beteween 2005 and 2011 have occurred during low points in the price for pork.

Why does it always look like construction workers are standing around doing nothing?

This is actually a combination of a few things. Firstly, most of the work we have to do is fucking hard as shit. I don’t know what you do for a living, and I’m certain that you hate it and it’s boring and you have to actually think sometimes. Actually thinking sometimes is what I did to keep myself sane while I was jackhammering concrete for hours in a row. We need to fucking stop for a moment a lot of the time just because we’re sore. And I don’t think you fully appreciate this. I could take you to a construction site, make you work for a day, and you’d be like “son of a bitch, this IS pretty hard!” However, you’d easily get through the day mostly working, with little just standing around. Recall we do this EVERY FUCKING DAY FOR 8 HOURS. I did it for under two months and I literally almost died on my way home this week once. From being hit by a car, not being tired. But I only BARELY got out of the way, and if there was much more ahead I likely wouldn’t have bothered!

Second is the actual work we do. It’s not just like, “BAM! Here’s the crew. FUCKING MOVE! Carl, grab that jackhammer, and start breakign all of this shit! Steve, go start paving where we need to pave! George, block off the area carl’s at. MOVE!” It’s more like, “Carl, I need you jackhammering. Umm, let’s see, Steve… You can’t pave anything until Carl’s- WOAH WOAH WOAH carl, you gotta block that area off first, dumbass!” Most of the work requires taking turns, and a large portion of it wouldn’t even look like work – one guy’s job was operation a crane. He was constantly on full alert, and it was very mentally exerting – if he failed, people could die. However, it looked like he was standing there with a controller belt watching the crane.

Next is Confirmation Bias. We only notice that which we want to. You see a bunch of construction workers standing around waiting to get the steam roller going, and making sure traffic moves correctly away from the site, and you don’t see the three guys jackhammering, the guy on the phone to the supply company, and the two guys trying to fix that god damned steam roller! In addition, when you do see five guys all working very hard whaling a wall, You do not remember it. So this is considerably smaller a problem than you realize.

There’s also, and I’ve already touched on this, supply. We can’t fucking work until those fuckers at Jenson & co. bring over the god damned plywood! So, we have to wait around doing nothing until they get there so that we can do our fucking jobs, which we’ll be glad to so that we don’t get yelled at by the idiot superintendent who’s never around and have to stay late.

Finally, where the work is done. You only see the three guys standing over a manhole to make sure nobody does anything to it, not the fifteen down there fixing the fucking wall that, if it collapsed, would cause a cave-in destroying the road and sewer system. You don’t see the fifty guys at constant work on that huge university, because there’s part of a huge university in your way and you can’t see them. You only see the site safety/first aid guy looking around to make sure no dumbfuckery is going down. You don’t see the 18 guys at the top of the building jackhammering the overspilled concrete and whaling a wall, you only see the crane operator and foreman talking to the delivery guy about where the fuck our plywood was in the last two hours, and why we only have half of it.

Prison Vs. Jail

In the State of New Jersey, if you are convicted of a crime that comes with jail time, you will

either serve that time in the county jail (in the county the charges were brought up in, not necessarily your county of residence), or a State facility. The difference basically comes down to how much time you’ve been sentenced to.

Anything less than 365 days will be served in the county jail. Anything 365 days or more will be served in a State facility. A lot of times, I see people confusing “jail,” and “prison.” This is the difference (at least in NJ).

Rape

A lot of people asked about this. A lot of these comments could probably be attributed to pubescent boys living in their parents’ basements, but I will address this issue anyway. First, let me say that in the 5 years I did in prison, I neither saw nor heard of anyone getting raped. To be fair, though, I will say that prison rape DOES indeed happen, but it wasn’t something that happened while I was there. Because I had a fairly short stay, compared to others, the facility I spent the majority of my time housed inmates doing 10 or less years. Think of it this way: If you know you’re only going to be locked up for ~5-7 years, are you going to just wake up one day and decide to start committing rape to deal with the fact you no longer have access to vagina? I didn’t think so.

Since I don’t feel like re-typing what I had already said in the previous thread, I’ll just copy/paste what I said before: –====I just want to clear something up. The whole rape thing. It seems like that’s all people think prison is all about. When you get sentenced to state prison (in NJ, anything over 364 day is state prison, less than that is served in the county jail), it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be serving your sentence with people serving life sentences.

Before you get transferred from the county jail to the State prison, you go to a sort of “in between” place to get classified called CRAF. In CRAF (Central Reception and Assessment Facility), they decide based on your age/criminal record/length of sentence/education which State facility you would be best suited for. In short, if you’re 20 years old, a first time offender, and only serving a few years, chances are extremely slim that you would be sent to a prison where rape even occurs. Think about it. If you and those around you were only serving ~5 years, do you really think people would want to start raping each other? No. As for the lifers, I can’t really speak for them. I do know rape in prison is definitely REAL, but in the 5 years i did, I never personally saw anything like that happen. Sure, there was consensual encounters happening, but the whole “drop the soap thing?” Nope. Also, I think it’s important to point out that the facility that I spent the majority of my sentence in, there were PARTITIONED SHOWERS. Yup. You read that right. Shower curtains and everything. Also, it wasn’t uncommon for inmates to have friends or other gang members stand guard in outside of the shower in case anyone would want to attack/fight the person while they were in the shower and vulnerable.====–

Okay. Enough about rape.

Now that we got that out of the way…….

Drugs

Can you get drugs in jail/prison? You bet your fucking ass you can. It’s all there. Marijuana, Cocaine, Ecstacy, Meth, Heroin, PCP, etc. You name it, you can get it. Most of the time it’s a lot more expensive. For example, a $10 bag of heroin might cost you $40. That all depends on how it got inside the jail/prison. Sometimes, it’s the same price as it is on the street. I’ve even seen hypodermic syringes smuggled from the medical ward for people to use to shoot up. A metal ballpoint pen? Crackpipe. They would strip and ball up copper wire from headphones, set it on fire (to take some sort of coating off the copper), bunch it up inside the metal base of the pen and voila! Crackpipe!

Originally, I was going to go into detail about how these drugs make it into the institutions, but my lawyer advised against it. I will, however say that there are tons of ways: visits, correctional officers, people on the outside throwing drugs over the prison walls, the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE……even dropped from hot-air balloon rides. (Crazy, I know, but completely fucking true.)

Gangs

I don’t even know where to start with this one. Gangs in prison are EVERYFUCKINGWHERE. In Jersey, the main gangs were Bloods, NETAS, Latin Kings, Crips, Aryan Brotherhood, and 5% Nation. (I’m even tempted to put Muslims under this category as well, because they operated more like a gang than a religion behind those walls, but I don’t want to start an argument with someone on Reddit trying to defend their religion.)

Bloods The Bloods were definitely the biggest gang in the facilities I was at. It seems like they would recruit just about ANYONE (as long as they were black or latino), and believed in power-by-numbers. I saw many young men ‘jumped-in.’ This is where the potential recruit would have to try to stay on his feet as 4 or 5 other Bloods would basically beat him up. One higher-ranking blood would stand to the side and count aloud “Blood ONE. Blood TWO. Blood THREE…”etc, all the way to 30. If the potential recruit would fall down during the jump-in, the others would help him up, and the count would continue where it left off. This is know as being “Brought Home,” and once a member, this person was now a “homie.” Bloods in prison were easy to spot. It didn’t seem like secrecy was at all a priority of theirs. You’d always see them greet each other with their intricate handshakes, their tattoos andburn marks gave them away, and when they talked, they’d “slash their C’s.” For example, instead of asking for a “Cigarette,” they’d ask for a “Bigerette.” I shit you not. As retarded as that sounds, it’s true. It was to disrespect the Crips. They’d replace all the C’s with B’s. Bloods Wiki

Moving on…

Netas

The Netas were a very unique group. They swore up and down they were not a “gang,” but an “association.” Well…..they ARE different from the other gangs. I’ll give them that. But they are still what’s known to to NJ DOC as a “Security Threat Group.” Basically, on paper, they are a gang. What’s so different about them? Well…they are sort of unoffical peace-keepers. It started out as a prison gang in Puerto Rico. I don’t know their official history, because I never was in the gang, but I do know a few things about them. They sort of act as moderators within the system. If they see other gangs preying on 550’s (prison talk for ‘neutrals’), they will step in. As one NETA told me, their name means “Never Ever Tolerate Abuse.” Again, I was never a part of the NETAS, so I don’t know if that’s accurate, but that’s what I’ve been told. And I definitely saw them standing up for others when nobody else had their backs. Out of all the gangs I saw in the prison system, this was definitely the LEAST violent. Also, I never saw a black NETA. Almost always latino, with the rare exception of a caucasian member.NETAS Wiki

Latin Kings

Ah, the Kings…. Well, I’ve met Kings I liked, and Kings I fucking HATED, but they were definitely a unique bunch. It seemed like they were a bit more selective in their recruiting than other gangs. They didn’t want just anyone in their gang. Everyone they recruited seemed to have a purpose. Some were recruited because they were good fighters. (the ‘Soldier’ type.) Some were recruited for their brains (the ‘Engineer’ or ‘Teacher’ type.) Almost like classes in an RPG video game. I know that sounds really fucking weird, but it’s true. I used to be rather friendly with a high-ranking Latin King from Trenton. We got along well, because we both enjoyed intelligent conversation. (A rare commodity in prison.) Everytime we would have a discussion, he would refer to it as ‘building.’ As if we were creating something bigger than ourselves by bringing our thoughts and ideas together. He taught me quite a few things about Latin Kings, including things that were meant only for members. I’m not going to betray him and leak their secrets on the internet, but I will talk about a few things I found interesting. One of the things that struck me as odd, and somewhat self-defeating was that if you were a Latin King and you had a son….well….sorry, boy. You are AUTOMATICALLY a King. Think about that. Your BABY is a gang member. Wow. Talk about guilt by association. Also, he taught me about Chicago. Apparently, this is where the Kings Originate. He told me quite a few stories about the history of the ALKQN. (Almight Latin King and Queen Nation.) It’s quite an interesting story, and apparently HBO even did a documentary about it.

As a last note, I just want to point out that the Latin Kings take their shit SERIOUSLY. They put their loyalty to “the crown” above EVERYTHING else. EVERYTHING. It’s crazy. If a higher ranking King told them to kill their own mother…..so long Mom. If you don’t believe me, do your research. ALKQN Latin King Wiki)

Aryan Brotherhood

I’ll be honest….I only knew 2 or 3 “AB Boys.” I don’t know firsthand a whole lot about these guys. I was asked to join (being a white boy in prison), but I declined. However, when I was asked to join, I was given their ‘paperwork.’ It was basically a list of rules to follow to ensure that you were living ‘like a white man should.’The problem with the AB was that they were WAY different in real life as compared to what they were on paper. In their ‘paperwork,’ they claim to be upright citizens, and live the WHITE way, (such as not cheating on your wife, providing for your family, etc etc…) The problem with this? In real life……it was nothing more than a hate group. “Nigger” this, and “Nigger” that. Everything was the fault of the “Niggers.” It was crazy. I actually supported a LOT of the ideas they had on PAPER, but the second you’d actually sit down and talk to an AB boy….it was pure HATE. Aryan Brotherhood Wiki

Crips

In the facilities I was incarcerated, this group was a fucking JOKE. I’m not even going to spend a whole lot of time on this gang. Basically, what you had was a few REAL Crips from the hood leading a few dumbasses. Sometimes scared wigger white boys from the suburbs would join…..some from the shore towns, and even some scared black kids from the suburbs. They were always in PC. PC is an acronymn for “Protective Custody.” Basically, anyone in PC could live a ‘normal’prison life, but never interact with the general population, or “GP.” The PC unit was always seperate, because they were either scared to death of GP, or there was another reason for them being in PC. For example, a celebrity will almost NEVER go into general population. The State wouldn’t want to be sued if a celebrity died in one of their prisons. I know this doesn’t line-up with the general view of Crips, but this was MY PERSONAL experience in the NJ prison system. Want more? Crip Wiki

5% Nation

Damn, I can’t wait to expose these idiots. Most of you are aware of members of the 5% nation and don’t even realize it. Wu-Tang Clan? 5 Percenters. Busta Rhymes? 5 Percenter. Lauryn Hill? 5 Percenter. What do all these people have in common? They all hate white people and believe that all of the world’s problems can be attributed to the ‘white man.’ Also…..the white man is the Devil. Who was one of the most famous contributers to this particular Anit-White Man group? Malcolm X. This group, in particular, bothers me more than any other gang out there. Why? Because under the guise of “Supreme Intellegence,” they lead their members to hate “the White Man,” teach their members false facts supporting reasons to hate the white man, and hold themselves up as “Gods.” They even greet each other as such. “Sup, God?” They even go so far as filing the necessary paperwork in prison to change their legal names to shit like “Supreme Allah,” “Natural Born,” True Black Allah,” and “Supreme Mathmatics Magnetic Victorious Allah.” I shit you not.They believe they are individual Gods, in charge of their own destiny, and that the White Man is full of “Devilishment,” and “Trick-knowledgy.” It sounds idiotic, because it IS. They even believe that the black man is GOD because in the Quran, they call God “Allah.” They Interperet this as A-arm L-leg L-leg A-arm H-head. Go fucking figure. 5% Nation Wiki Enough about ignorant gangs though. Let’s move on, shall we? As this was “too long to post,” I had to break it in sections. Please see [Part 3]

Commissary

In prison (where I was, anyway…) you could order ‘commissary’ twice a month. Commissary is basic needs, and then some. Cigarettes: Marlboros, Newports, or Buglers were the most popular and used most often as currency., Toothpaste, Soap, Deodorant, Floss, Shampoo, Conditioner, Baby Powder, Hand/Body Lotion, Razors (single-blade BIC disposable), Shaving cream, Q-Tips, Nail Clippers, Cocoa Butter, Hair Grease (don’t ask me. black dudes use it.), Chapstick, Sweatpants, Sweatshirts, Gym Shorts, Socks, T-Shirts, Boxers, Briefs, Wife-beaters, AM/FM Walkmans, Headphones, Batteries, Candy Bars, Tuna Fish, Lifesavers, Toilet paper, Coffee (Maxwell Instant), Cups, Spoons, Bowls, Plastic forks/spoons, Chili, ramen noodles, pretzels, potato chips, bottled water, pens/pencils, Stationary, Envelopes, Stamps, Generic Doritos, Mayo, Mustard, Ketchup, Kool-Aide mix, Iced Tea mix, Sugar, Adobo, Cans of Ensure, Canned Octopus, Pouches of Salmon, Minute Rice, Pouches of pre-cooked Chicken, Corn Beef Hash, and a few things I just cant remember. It’s been a while. But that’s most of it.



Money

In order to order things from commissary, you needed to have money on your ‘books.’ (your prison account).There were only two ways to get money put on your books. Either your friends/family members would send you money orders that would then be transferred into your account, or you would rely soley on ‘State Pay.’

State Pay

The information I’m about to give about State Pay might be out-dated. Things may have changed since I got out, but this is how it was while I was incarcerated.

Every inmate in required to have a job. When you first arrive to whatever state prison you’ve been classified to, you’re required to take what’s known as a TABE test. (Test of Adult Basic Education) Should you find yourself incarcerated, take this test seriously. It could make the difference between sitting behind a computer all day in air conditioned classrooms as a Teacher’s Aid, or outside in the scorching heat pushing lawnmowers. The TABE test is a piece of cake ScanTron type standardized test that anyone with a High School Diploma should have no problem passing.

Once you take your test, you will be assigned to a job based on your test score. I landed a job making $3.75/day as a ‘teacher’s aide.’ Other jobs on the compound included Grounds Duty (Mowing grass all over the compund), Unit ParaPros (Keeping the Unit clean, sweeping/mopping, cleaning the showers, etc.), Mower Shop (making sure the lawnmowers were kept in working order), Rec Aid (Keeping the weights in the Rec yard organized, setting out basketballs and other outside equipment), Kitchen Duty (preparing meals, and distributing food to the Units on carts), Plumbing/Maintenance, and others that I can’t really remember right now.

All jobs were paid on a ‘per-day’ basis. The minimum wage was $1.30/day, and the maximum was $4.75

If you didn’t have family on the outside to send you money-orders to put on your account, this was how you made your money and provided for yourself. State pay goes out once a month.

Social Life

This was both an interesting a frustrating aspect of life on the inside. I never fully considered myself as one of ‘them,’ so the entire time I spent incarcerated, I looked at it an an outsider looking in. The views I’m about to express are my own. I can’t really say it’s cold hard facts, but this is how I saw it.

First of all, just like you see in the movies, Blacks stick with the Blacks, Whites stick with the Whites, Latinos with Latinos, and I honestly only saw TWO Asians while I was down, and they stuck with the Latinos. It didn’t really seem like it was a ‘rule’ that the races stuck together, but let’s face it, your natural tendency would be to gravitate towards those most like yourself. People you have things in common with. Also, if shit were to hit the fan and all of a sudden you found yourself forced to choose sides…..Well? Who are you going to side with? As as white guy, I always hung out with a small circle of white guys. We would work out together, play cards/dominos together, talk, teach each other, help one another, watch each other’s backs, etc. On the rare occasion that a new white guy would be assigned to our unit, one of us would be designated to approach him, welcome him to the unit and provide anything he might need. If he was new to the compund and didn’t have anything, we would all chip-in from our own supplies and made sure he had enough until he could buy his own commissary. Need cigarettes? Soap? Toothpaste? Deodorant? Stamps? We’ve got your back. You aren’t in “debt.”

We weren’t a gang. We were just a group of guys that had stuff in common. Most of us were from the suburbs, got into drugs for one reason or another, and found ourselves locked-up. We dealt with it by coming together and tried to make prison life a bit less hellish.

You’d think that the black and Latino gangs would try to take advantage of us and steal our shit and whatnot, but that was never a problem. We showed them respect, and in turn got respect. This is one aspect of prison life that I actually wish carried on into the outside world. People respect each other. In that environment, you HAVE to respect one another. Are you going to intentionally disrespect someone, know you might very well get stabbed for doing so? No.

There’s a lot of Do’s and Dont’s in the social world of Prison. I certainly can’t put everything, or this would be a book (make me an offer Editors!), but I will try to include a decent amount. DONT Try to fight someone your first day like in the movies. Stay to yourself, keep out of other’s business, and you should be fine. DONT Snitch. Ever. For anything. No exceptions. Moral dilemma? Oh well. DONT SNITCH. Your life could depend on it. DONT join a gang if you’re not already in one. This will cause more trouble than it’s worth both inside and outside. DONT talk to CO’s unless there is another inmate with you. This way, you don’t appear to be snitching about something. DONT fight a gang member if you are neutral. You won’t win. Even if you’re winning the fight, now you have 100 more ‘homies’ to fight. DONT gamble. There are exceptions to this rule, like gambling for small amounts within your circle. But DONT gamble with those outside your immediate social circle. DONT get involved in drugs. Smoking some weed here and there is fine, but other than that, just stay away from it all. DONT tell someone (even jokingly) to ‘Suck my dick.’ Never invite another man to your privates. This is a major sign of disrespect. Just don’t do it. I know it sounds funny, but it’s true. DONT wake someone up. Unless its and emergency, DONT DO IT. Sleep is taken seriously, as it’s the only time you’re not locked up. You’re free. Waking someone up for no good reason can get your ass kicked. DONT sit down on someone’s bed or step into their cell without being given permission. Some people don’t care, but other’s take this seriously. (Placing your ass where someone lays their head isn’t a laughing matter.) DONT try to act tough. Be yourself, stay to yourself, and you should be fine. DONT steal from anyone. (duh.)

There’s a lot more, but I think that’s enough for now. I’d like to move onto the part people seemed to be real interested in.

-Lighting a cigarette without matches or a lighter, using only items found on commissary.

This was a technique taught to me in the County Jail. In prison, there’s really no need for this, as they sell matches

and cigarettes. However, in the County Jail, these items are considered contraband.

You will need: Two AA batteries, Nail Clippers (optional), a pack of Lifesavers or Breathsavers, toilet paper, arazor blade, and (of course) a cigarette.

Open up the BreathSavers and take the foil out. Figure out a way to remove the razor from the plastic. Some people use nail clippers, I prefer just stomping on the razor. (its faster and less chances of getting cut). Next, you need to cut and fold the foil a bit. One piece needs to be somewhat thin and fold a ‘kink’ in the middle.

The other piece should be able to fit under both batteries and make a sufficient connection. Last, roll the toilet paper up kind of like a pencil (this is hard to describe, bare with me.) Basically you need a ‘handle’ end and a ‘flared out’ end. The purpose behind this is to have an end to hold and an end to light. Next, hold the toilet paper in your mouth (you’ll need both hands free) and complete the circut with the ‘flared-out end’ of the paper above the kink in the foil. And there you have it: FIRE.
