when I bought that record I didn't read the liner notes. When that song played and the solo came, I said, that dude sounds just like Andy. It can't be. But, yes, it was Andy. Love that solo and the whole record. To me, it is the be all, end all of melodeath.
I'm the exact same as you. Them is the masterpiece of all time when it comes to concept records, with Conspiracy being a nice follow up. The Eye isn't as strong, but it's what I listen to the most. The guitar tones are thicker, the riffs are great, Pete actually got to contribute a killer...
I have a g-maj 2. Do this. FSB midi out to the Eleven, midi Thru (or out) from Eleven to the Gmaj in.
Preset 1 on the FCB1010. I assume you already have your program/tone on the Eleven preset 1(as you said that you've used it with it). Say it's distortion and you want a little delay and...
Thanks! I know he has a lot of instructional videos from Japan with his Suhr modded Marshall, so I assumed it was always that amp. But I asked him about this song in particular and he said it was a VHT, that he regrets selling.
I've always loved this tone, and Chris has said that it was a Pitbull. Those that own the various VHT's/Freyettes, does this sound like a typical VHT amp? I've always chased this tone with Marshall variants.
I created a Powertabs (but you could use GP) file of a bunch of different exercises. Similar to the Vinnie Moore video, B and E string, three notes per string scale patterns, all the way up the neck and back ascending, then descending. I also threw in John Petrucci's semi chromatic exercise...
I've owned a ton of amps over the years looking for the illusive Marshall tone. Along the way I was in a death metal band, so that required more gain. Of those, the Engl sounded the most like a combo of Mesa and Marshall. It's what a recorded and mixed 5150 sounds like, without the post...
It really was. The whole forum side of the site really. The political forum during Iraq was a complete shit show of trolls. The amp forum was more civilized, but you still had the occasional drama. Lots of cool people though, of which maybe 30% made the leap.
The mass exodus was due to the...
I love Zeno. His last record, the first video that you posted, is nothing short of amazing. His earlier works I can't get into because the singer is so piercing and screechy. But, the playing, take the best of Uli and add a little more shreddy bits. I was really sad when I heard that he had...
People ragging on Don, I get it. Dokken was my favorite band growing up. George is the reason I play guitar. Don's in his 70's. He's older than my dad was when he died, which is crazy to think. He's given me so much joy over the years. His body has been through a war, with cancer and back...
I've seen him numerous times and I would encourage anyone that plays guitar, go see him. Having said that, the last time I saw him, a few years back, it was so over the top it was almost comical. He has his hired guns literally crammed in a corner of the stage and he has the rest. He loosely...

Olsen also saved Wylde’s guitar tone. At Enterprise Studios, Wylde, who had tracked his parts using Lee Jackson Metaltronix amps, had been frustrated with his overall sound. At...
The photo at 5:55 of the video you posted is the amp that Zakk was talking about. He said it was an 800 combo. It's the reason he switched to 800's. I'm not saying that there isn't a Mesa in there, but seems there is more to the story.
Zakk Wylde in an interview looking back on No Rest for the Wicked, said that they recorded the whole record with the first producer. He said, the tone was really weak and the mix was more AOR. He recorded that version with the Lee Jackson Metaltronix stuff. He complained to Ozzy that it...
If I never hear another Metallica song again, it will be too soon. This is evidence that mainstream metal is dead. This is such a low bar I can't even.
One thing though, I want to know who wrote the lyrics for the band in the 80's, because the last 30 years have shown it sure as shit wasn't...
