    GEORGE LYNCH And CASANDRA CARSON:

    Yeah, her voice is great! George’s rhythm tone is so ballsy.

    Demo recording preferences?

    I don’t care how the demo is recorded, as long as I can’t hear the acoustic sound of the electric guitar being played. That’s just fucking annoying.

    Best clean on a high gainer ?

    Ch.2 on the Randall Satan was a fantastic clean sound. Shockingly good.

    Yngwie Malmsteen vs the World 1984

    That solo is really interesting, in retrospect. So much of it is licks from Paganini’s 24 Caprices. No one was doing that in ‘83. It’s still pretty breathtaking in its execution.

    Yngwie Malmsteen vs the World 1984

    Meh. It’s a pointless comparison. Yngwie was Yngwie. However, I won’t lie; it was shocking as hell to see Yngwie play that shit live. I saw him in late ‘84(/early ‘85?) at the Kabuki Theater in S.F., before “Marching Out” was released, and “Rising Force” was still a Japan only import. Holy...

    Joined a RATT tribute… which guitar??

    I’ve had the Snakeskin for 2 1/2 years. I love the Duncan 1/4 pounder at the neck. The Duncan RTM at the bridge is super hot. But, it has a nice eq to it. And the neck is just Charvel goodness. Obviously, I’m saying go with the snakeskin one.

    Let's Just Put This Right Out There And Talk About It..

    I like mine. However, I use it out in front of the Bogner Helios(100w) when I’ve got it running in 70s mode, with not too much preamp gain. It feels like the “effect” of the Solodallas goes away the higher the preamp gain in the amp gets. jmho

    Dokken kiss of death live philly in 1987

    I saw Dokken on that tour, they were opening for Aerosmith. I was sitting front row on George’s side of the stage. His sound/tone coming off the stage was LOUD, and sounded nothing like it does in those clips from Philly. I wonder if the mics on George’s cabs were out of phase, which would...

    Does anyone remember smoke soaked gear?

    I’m currently running my m100 into x2 KSR 2x12(oversized), for my Ibanez 7-string. I’m not dialing it in to be super-tight/modern, but it’s ferocious sounding. I use either a Friedman Buxom boost, a Revv Tilt boost, or a Precision drive to tighten it up a little.(this is on Ch.1) The clean...

    Does anyone remember smoke soaked gear?

    My #1 Rivera M100, I purchased from a smoker. It took 6 months, a garage quarantine, and bottles of febreeze, to get rid of the stench in the furry cabinet covering.

    Suhr 4x12 Cabs

    I have a Suhr 4x12 with 25w greenbacks in it. I run my Bogner “Helios” 100 through it. Absolute magic.

    The JCM900slx is the best Marshall ??

    I ran my SLX through a Boogie Recto 4x12(280w), it was punishingly loud. And, it was anything but “thin” sounding.

    How far you willing to travel for a CL or Marketplace deal ?

    I’ve driven over to the Bay Area a couple of times for gear/guitars.

    The JCM900slx is the best Marshall ??

    I’m not going to disagree. I had an el-34/100w SLX. It was the hot rodded Marshall I’d always wanted. The coolest tone I ever got out of it, was Blackmore’s “Made In Japan” tone. Holy crap. It sounded fantastic. But, that was the SLX completely dimed, and the preamp and sensitivity rolled back...
