Ah, the 90's: When amp companies couldn't face the fact that 99% of the people that used their products were metal bands. Trixter hahaha.

If you mean the old Randall RG80ES, I believe it's an 80-watt version of the legendary Randall RG100ES head. If you mean the combo that Randall is currently producing, I have no idea.

Blackouts and EMG bored me because the neck HB's are too hot and I hate using the bridge HB constantly. If I ever decide to go active again, I'd try Lace. They have a fairly big variety of active humbuckers and in the last few years they've really courted the underground metal 'market'; a...

Currently, or historically? Currently, all of the big 4 are racing each other to the bottom. I'd say Slayer's output from '83-'86 is even with Metallica's: Bulletproof. Megadeth had killer riffs and some songs but never made albums that I'd listen to front to back over and over. Dave's...

All 'modern metal' bands in the 80's used JCM800's or JMP's with Celestion 65's (until Master of Puppets, I think), and they managed to release albums that still wipe the floor with today's metal. I'm also sick of certain pickups, amps and speakers (Always hated EMG 81's, Rectos and V30's). I...

I'd say you're the one that was wrong. Not everyone that works at GC knows about high gain stomp boxes. Her manager probably just told her that you have a serious case of the No Pussy Blues and for her not to take it personally.

To me: "Sounds good!" Me: "You're a bad liar."

Trey Spruance (check out Mr. Bungle, Faith No More's King for a Day album and Secret Chiefs 3). He's a genius and he doesn't seem to care who knows it.

Cool, thanks. Mine is in better condition (or will be, after I apply some elbow grease to the tolex), and smoke free. Hopefully I'll get more than 600.

No, I'm not selling it here. I can't find any info on what a used Screamer head w/footswitch goes for in the US. I don't recall what I paid for it. I bought it used but in great shape and it's been used as a bedroom amp. I had it retubed with JJ's (6L6's & 12ax7's), I still have the old...

It is absolutely true. Keep in mind Cliff's influence on their taste in music, like the Misfits. After he died (and keep in mind that most 24-year-olds don't deal with their friend's death very well) roles within the band changed and not just in terms of songwriting. Metallica was/is a riff...

Most (American) boutique pickup companies tend to specialize in lower/medium output pickups or they half-ass update their site and only offer a few high output humbucker models with no audio samples. Or, in the case of WCR, they cost more. I'm eyeing a BKP Black Hawk for my next guitar. I...

Old Sabbath Old Metallica Slayer-1983-86 is bulletproof Danzig - I through III Emperor - All except the last one, which was decent Faith No More - All except the last one, which had it's moments Motorhead Pig Destroyer - Prowler in the Yard, Terrifyer and Natasha are unbelievable Misfits-All...

Might be a nice guitar once it's been boiled.

Bought an Engl Screamer head w/footswitch used from some GC on the west coast (I live in VA). It arrived in perfect working condition, just as the guy I spoke to described (the honesty/competence of the person you speak to may vary, not that I've had a bad experience). Packed well for...

Varg Vikernes. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is otherworldly.

Drop A on my Ibanez Prestige RG (13-62) is as low as I'll go. Usually it's in B standard but sometimes I feel like playing along with Pig Destroyer's drop A songs, although .62 tuned to A is still a bit floppy. I tried for Bb standard to play along to some older 7-string death metal songs, but...

I remember being utterly shocked that Dime of all people would be murdered in such a terrible way. RIP. In case you haven't seen it, pickup the DVD. Total opposite of the too-serious metallica 'year and a half' dvd; Pantera was having a blast and they wanted you to know it. "Bottle of...
