    Best Hair Metal Album Ever

    What's weird is growing up in that era, there was no term called Hair Metal. It was all just rock. Maybe you'd hear someone say LA metal to differentiate the bands from that area vs. others but that was about it. It wasn't until they had to give a name to Grunge to define it that the term Hair...

    Most overrated amp ever... pick 1!

    Like @RaceU4her I get this but I'm at a point in my playing that I don't want to fight the guitar or the amp. Even remember EVH saying why make it hard. That said I get it, I started on an acoustic, it strengthens the fingers. And I went through a bit where I was all into VHT's, when I owned my...

    Most overrated amp ever... pick 1!

    Bingo. I've owned a shit ton of stuff from high dollar boutique to run of the mill...it either works for me or it doesn't. If it doesn't it just means it doesn't as opposed to being overrated. Cause there's alot of stuff that didn't work me that other players sound incredible on so obviously...

    Best Guitar stores in Nashville?

    Yep, great thing back in the day was there was so much used gear from the locals you could find deals all the time. Even a few pawns shops were regular stops because they had so many guitars, they were priced to move regardless of what they were. I mean I remember hitting places and seeing used...

    Best Guitar stores in Nashville?

    Yep as a local I don't bother with Rumble Seat anymore. Carters, Guitar Center (have a great platinum room), Gibson, Gruhns and Corner Music are the places. Would have said Sam Ash, especially considering they hired a couple guys to run their guitar/amp area that know their shit but they're...

    New Ruby EL34BSTR/BW... Anyone using them ?

    I like them. I have the original Shuguang productions ones that I bought from Doug in one of my JVM's. In fact right when the Tube/Covid thing hit I bought a couple sets as backups from Doug. Sound good to me. When I could no longer get the original Winged C's which came originally came in the...

    Old Guitar Hero Marc Diglio resurfaces on YT after 30+ years of leaving the business

    This is great. Love stuff like this. Now if only Vito could do the same thing, that'd be awesome

    Pete Thorn Deliverance MKII+ Demo

    Yep, every VHT/Fryette I've owned or played have that huge punchy thing in common. Tight as well, not woofy. Definitely have their own thing. At one point I was really into them however the second time around of coming back to one, (a few years ago) I just didn't have the chops anymore to really...

    EVH 5150 III Stealth 100S 6L6 vs Marshall JVM 410H for FF Obsolete era tones.

    Both great amps. I own both. The Marshall is obviously gonna have that Marshall mid flavor. The EVH a little more lower mid. To me the Marshall is a sweeter albeit slightly looser. Gain on both, that's a toss up as they both have more than enough. Noise floor is about the same on both. Good...

    Leave it or fill it?

    Lord, leave that alone. That's the real deal.

    Awesome Kiss Bar gig from ‘73

    Yep. Much like Ace he went downhill after the fame started. From my "I did stay in Holiday Inn Express " last night psych evals from reading all the books and from Lydia Criss's comments, Peter was a very unhappy vindictive person. Probably struggled with some depression as well. And when...

    My Latest High Gain Mod Circuit on a 1979 Marshall

    Yeah I got that angrier/more saturated right away, that jumped out in the clips. What's the donor amps you can do this with? Also are you adding the resonance control as well on the back?

    My Latest High Gain Mod Circuit on a 1979 Marshall

    Sounds good. Could we get a little more rhythm playing so we can hear the grind? The Loudness sounded great. What's the difference in this and the Pandora David?

    New Mötley Crüe - Dogs of War

    Heck the chorus sounds like they went out of the way to dodge a hook. Verse, Chorus is just not good.

    Josh Homme Discussion

    Ahh, I get what he's saying but at the same time every single player that copied his single chain is going to sound different than him. I'm firmly in the camp that everyone has their own sound. So many times that's been pointed out by players through the years. Even me in my experience, I had a...

    Hot Take: Joe Satriani should stop trying to chase EVH's tone/technique

    That's why Vai worked so well with Roth. He did his interpretation and the key EVH moments he was really close but the rest was more in the vein of EVH i.e. his homage to him. Satch is never going to get there so why try, just get close and have fun. I mean if you want to nail it get someone...

    Celestion EVH To Pair W/ H30 Anniversary?

    Old thread but...yes the Anni's / V30's are a great combo. @Bad.Seed did you ever follow through with the EVH GB / Anni's? And did you ever mix an Anni with the CL80?

    If you had to play in front of 20k people right now...

    I don't know about hitting all the notes perfectly or hooking up with three chicks but I'd love it. I've played tons of gigs in my lifetime, by my estimate probably close to 600 and even though I get nervous before every gig, as soon as the band kicks in I'm fine, perfectly at home on stage...

    Rectos now cooler than Diezels?

    You have to add the OG 5150 and 5150II to that mix as well. I mean at one time if you wanted affordable super high gain the Rects and 5150's were the choices. Both are now iconic.

    Wow, used gear sales have come to a screeching halt....

    Eventually it will when people stop buying as everyone is now seeing in the gear market. Things will come down. I mean I have a very nice home but it's value shop up to stupid level because of what happened. It's just going to take some time for things to get back to normal and regardless of...
