lol i get where you are coming from. its weird how when someone dies, people all of the sudden have the desire to express their truest appreciation for the person, but when they're alive, they're just sort of there and nothing special. here in detroit, it was like that when Aretha Franklin...
right!?!? they took the album with the damn near perfect production already, and rerecorded it in "new era in flames" production style, which means amateur home digital studio sounding. not sure why they didn't just re-record a more Lunar Strain material like they did on Colony. something...
i've seen them tear up community center gymnasiums in suburban detroit in the very early 00's. My band and them ended up sharing a rehersal space (at The Hive in Warren, Mi) in the early 2010's/late 00's. I met trevor and brian in passing here and there in the hallways of that place...
i hope he gets super deep and nerds out on every stupid little detail that he remembers.
however, i'm worried it'll be all the info we already know, mixed with some slick editing and visuals. close ups and shadowy lighting on those rack parametric eq's and some really sexy shots of those crunch...
i posted this on a mesa boogie fb group. Cool chassis shots in the listing. lots of those mini trim pots, never seen that on a stock boogie. depending on how high it gets, i might throw a bid in last minute. I do predict it will go for 3500-4k ish though.
in the 90's, i used to have to send and receive boxes of VHS and cassette tapes around the damn world to see shit like this.
The value of You Tube is not lost on me.
i've been sober for almost 2 years (bummer flex, i know....sorry haha), but back in my drinking days, nothing got me picking fast and furious like Slayers Show No Mercy album. i used to love tying on a good buzz, and doing a "speed run" through that album.
Also jamming along to old George...
i can't remember what shred guy back in the late 90's said he loved hanson, and that they reminded him of himself when he was a teenager. might have been vai or lynch or paul gilbert. either way, if you think about it, for as corny as they were, they were light years ahead of whats teeny...
I had an early 66 blackface DR back in the day that was like heaven in a box. the most warm and sexy overdrive ever when turned out to 6.5 - 7. i can see turning one that loud, and putting an sd1 or tube screamer with the gain set high in front of it, and getting in that tonal area...
i think i assumed someone already did without reading the thread. they would have been the first band i'd have thought of.
Imaginary Sonicscape was a killer album.
