Big fan of his playing. Used to be in the band Big Wreck ... has some killer tunes. Nice to see him playing a Morse

Couple of Morsey licks in there i think.
He's got a great sound out of that Morse , how do i get mine to sound like that, Have to buy me some new fingers maybe .

I really dig Ian's work. Big Wreck was great and his solo work is great too.

What a talent ... a killer singer and can also rip it up. Love to see him play an EBMM more often.

Buddy of mine went to high school with him, seems like a really nice guy. Have a couple of good party stories ... best saved for a beer or three

Awesome stuff beej - I love it when someone turns me onto an artist that I have never heard of before!!

In 1998, I saw Big Wreck open for Dream Theater at the L.A. House of Blues. I thought they were pretty good.

What do you all recommend me look for to hear his studio work ?

His MySpace- Thornley on MySpace

For Big Wreck, check out YouTube. Popular hits were "That Song", "The Oaf", "Blown Wide Open". Killer stuff ... I still have that disc ("In Loving Memory Of") in heavy rotation.

Also a couple of tunes on the Trailer Park Boys soundtrack with some other notable Canucks (Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee, etc.) - The Big Dirty Band on MySpace

New vrs hold

How does the new morse compare to the old , i prefere the look of the new but does it sound better or just different ?

The Morse. Tone festival.
Thanks for the tip on Thornley Beej, great stuff, just grabbed the Big Wreck and solo albums.

Buy one of each. I like them both. Subtle differences. If I could only buy one, I think you can "get" up to speed with the switching on the y2d faster, but the original is not that hard to comprehend either.

Thanks for the link, Beej. To me he's an underrated player. Really like Big Wreck. And his new album is pretty good, too.
