    Joe Satriani and Steve Vai hire Pete Thorn, Marco Mendoza and Kenny Aronoff for new their new touring band

    Define "song structures". I'm curious? I would actually go as far as to say that I don't think Val and Satch could necessarily cover the ground Pete has in his career. It's completely horses for courses and they have their lane, and in that lane, they're the kings. If you don't think Pete can...

    Joe Satriani and Steve Vai hire Pete Thorn, Marco Mendoza and Kenny Aronoff for new their new touring band

    This is madness. Do you honestly believe, taking the punters out of it, do you honestly believe that DON HENLEY wasn’t discerning? Come on. Key/tempo shifts? That stuff isn’t the challenge. The challenge is always time feel, pocket, touch. It’s like you’re suggesting PT can’t handle this stuff...

    Perhaps but there will be plenty of people with a genius level understanding and output that would alienate most people too.

    Joe Satriani and Steve Vai hire Pete Thorn, Marco Mendoza and Kenny Aronoff for new their new touring band

    I didn’t say he was a genius songwriter. I think he operates musically on a different level to the large majority of people who ever play music. Does that make me want to listen to his music? Not really. I appreciate it for what it is but it doesn’t move me, I agree.

    All I’m saying is, I’m not sure some of you here stating that he won’t be up to it realise how good you need to be to do those high level gigs.

    Disagree. He’s a true trailblazer in that world. Would I want to listen to it every day? Definitely not. But still.

    Hahaha. Ouch. I haven’t been here for 7 years and it’s as caustic as ever, eh?

    Yes, Vai is a genius. That goes without saying. Satriani is a guitar legend. I love both and have for many years. That said, I think you’re being pretty harsh on Pete. The guy does that VH tribute with Mitch something and absolutely nails it. His time, his swing, his feel. It’s all there. I...

    For a start he has very good time and pocket. Both infinitely more difficult to achieve than blazing scales. And I’m a Satch and Vai fan. Try harder.

    Cool. There is more to excellent guitar playing or musicianship than shredding my brother.

    Do you really believe Don Henley, Melissa Etheridge, Chris Cornell and even The Classic Rock Show are “simple”?

    Literally came out of dormancy to say this is one of the dumbest takes I’ve ever seen on a forum.

    Anybody used the Friedman Runt XLR out?

    Custom Audio OD100 Classic Plus?

    Has anybody here played one? In the market for a channel switcher and looking at this, maybe the EVH 50w EL34, or possibly the Friedman Smallbox. Looking for Plexi and modded Plexi style gain tones but ideally a great clean channel too. Not completely essential as I could A/B with my Bella but...

    Bogner Shiva into single V30 in a 1x12?

    So I picked up a Suhr Badger 1x12 cab with a V30 in it. I gigged my Shiva through it tonight and whilst it didn't sound as big as my OS2x12, I didn't exactly miss the 2x12. I definitely didn't miss the weight and size! The Suhr cab sounds amazing. However, is this a terrible idea? There seems...

    Does anybody have an idea what this hum might be?

    I have a low level hum on my Shiva. I've tried different outlets in the house and it seems to be the same/similar. Can't recall hearing it at gigs but then everywhere else is louder and it's pretty quiet here! Happens on every channel, whether something is plugged in or not, and no matter where...

    Couple of questions regarding Bogner Shiva EL34 re-tube/bias

    I recently picked up an EL34 Bogner Shiva which I absolutely love. I had a peek inside and noticed that the tech that went over the amp before I bought it put JJ EL34s in the amp. No issue really, I have read that they should be ok, but I also keep reading that Bogner recommends Winged Cs so I'm...

    Celestion V30 versions - Do some have a bigger magnet?

    I'm about to buy a used V30 and it looks like the magnet is bigger than the one I already own. Did some googling and they seem to vary. At least I presume the circular part on the back is the magnet? What gives? Is it just the angle? Are there different sizes? Do they sound different? Example:
