Doug Aldrich has switched to....

[WizardSouth-JP]

What? Fingers absolutely will sound great through a pignose. Also, a 1K tube amp can more than deliver the goods. You've earned yourself this icon

The only decent amp I’ve played for $1000 is the EVH, if you like the Pignose there’s probably other icons/emojis for you dude.

Doug was using the Blackstars on stage. His tone was “not good”. It sounded like notes were sort of struggling to come out of the speakers.
I don’t know what the problem was.

That's basically the problem I've found with most Blackstar production, especially HT series. Artisan amps were good, but the HT - curious enough their most popular line - always sounded quite flat in the upper range, and compressed.

He sounds like shit. In fact, I bet a good player would make those amps sound better. Just a load of noise and cheap punk GC riffing. I'm surprised he even gets calls as a Professional Fill-In Guitarist. A million guys on YT smoke him.
Every time I see him interviewed, I wonder if he is mildly retarded. He can barely express himself.
He should have a Monoprice backline.

In interviews, he always strikes me as someone who carefully considers what he’s going to say.

Whoever put this video together didn't do themselves, or Doug, any favors. Crappy production in a noisy room, poor sound quality, that looks like it was an afterthought. I hope it works out for Doug, and the video is an outlier.

Yes. Please address me as Gerrybella from now on.

When I was a kid in the 70s we called these people "burnouts".

 

[Wizard of Ozz]

Same for UFC, guess when they're throwing money at you - your tastes for good beer or good tone goes out the window.

... and the taste for pre-op tranny dicks cums in.

Dana White is such a schill. Disgusting.

Huh I thought people liked Aldrich around here.

They may have been stuck with a now or never on scheduling. I would have heard that noise and said nope. Re-Schedule, different venue.

 

[skoora]

They‘re not calling this an sig amp for him. It’s just a regular release, so I don’t think this vid will matter much once the ocean of “reviews” open up on YT.

Lol sure you would..." hey guys! I just heard dirty power, I'm not playing tonight. Cancel the show, have them refund all tickets. Give back the 20k they are paying us tonight when I am already making lean gains since leaving Whitesnake. I won't tolerate dirty power! Nobody should have to.."

I was obviously talking doing another Blackstar demo at another time and place dumbass, not re-scheduling a gig.

You must be awesome.

I love the Suhr Aldrich bridge pickup in my Kramer, but I never understood the hero worship that guy gets.

One needn’t be awesome to point out shit tone, or have an opinion.

It’s the classic internet comeback to any criticism. We’ll where’s YOUR hit album? where’s YOUR brilliant movie? Downside of the internet is there’s no growth because there’s always new generations coming along asking the same questions and giving the same lame retorts but zero effort in searching what has already been said and done. There’s so much shit I don’t participate in anymore because it gets too tiring seeing it keep coming around.
It used to be, there was maybe, one or two wise elders in the village, to dispense knowledge and experience and they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they discovered the younger members of the tribe now had a wise elder built right into the little box they stared at all the time…only to have youth still pester them about shit, as they looked at their box, looking at a live stream about pranking the elderly.
