For me that video is hilarious because it looks so '1988", really dated. The big puffed up mullet haircuts, that somehow "1980s-style characteristic" cutesy tongue-in-teeth smile of the young version of the grandma (the girl) holding the boy, and the general over the top nature of the video. I...

I dressed up as King Diamond for Halloween a few years ago. That's my friend Danielle copping my tongue in her ear. I love King Diamond's catalogue all through the 1980s, but my favourite is the early Mercyful Fate stuff with Hank Schermann and Mike Denner on both rhythm and lead guitars. I...

Did he have that metal frame custom-made for the festival?

Eight years on and I can't even remember why I was whinging about his guitar sound!? :confused: :lol: :LOL: I like his guitar sounds!

:lol: :LOL: Back to the topic - once a "YouTuber" starts doing the choppy quick cut editing, the forced swearing, the beggings and pleadings for 'likes' and 'subscribes', and they get recommended to me every time I visit the YouTube website no matter what I am searching for or watching, I...

Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottoms are good.

They're good for clean tones. I have a coil split on mine just for that. In fact now I can't bear using the humbuckers on full for clean sounds. They sound too boomy for me.

I'd say the latter. I read that Metallica have been helping out schools with musical instruments and music programmes or something. In fact I'm surprised that Metallica didn't start some sort of donation drive from concerts towards treating addiction already.

This exactly. Nothing in the world means shit when your head is messed up. Nothing is straightforward when it comes to addiction. The normal feedback loop of seek for reward is completely corrupted. And that is just the start of it. I only just learned about James relapsing and going to rehab...

Sounds good!

This.

I like those ones too. Really informative. I'm not keen on the ones where he grumbles about the video not being monetised, or does the whole clickbait-YouTuber thing that seems to be so formulaic across any YouTube channel out to earn some coin for hosting ads. Whenever I see that, I tune out.

What were the settings you used?

Although I missed the poll, I'd vote for the latter.

Hmm that reminds me. Yeah James Hetfield had a pair of these running with with MarkIIC+ (or maybe with two MarkIIC+'s). I think it was either to cut or boost around 120Hz, but I don't know which way.

That would be a great idea. Run the EQ into the low level input of a 2204, then hit a footswitch to boost it into overdrive with the right-sounding aggressive tight roaring crunch.

You can hear how that Yamaha SPX90 is a big part of that late 1980s-early 1990s sound. It's a different chorusing sound to earlier (and later) times.

TGP has its on and off days, though...

It's good when a tribute or parody band can do it justice! Unfortunately not all bands like that completely measure up. I saw a Metallica tribute band recently and although they played in time, the lead guitarist's tone and playing was spot on, the drums and bass were good, the rhythm guitar...

Yeah there's a certain glassiness to it. But I thought that Roxette plugged straight into the mixing desk for their clean guitar sounds?
