to be Fair, Tail Gunner is also pretty awesome. Like a second rate Aces High but still great. Actually No Prayer is sort of a raw sounding production with some solid tunes in spots. Next to Seventh Son though, I understand why people felt it was a let down with really simple songs and pop hooks...
I just listened to Stained class and realized I remembered it being better than I found it a few days ago when i listened to it working out. Some cheesy shit on that one. I do think Glenn was sort of ahead of his time and kept improving album after album though. That guy is brilliant. On the...
I can't agree with you there.. I think Powerslave has 4 incredibly strong tunes and then the rest is filler yes, but Number of the Beast is pretty awesome the whole way through.
Piece of Mind is incredible no question but I gotta say, Seventh Son?? It's pretty fucking good too. This is a hard...
This might be the new Metro forum! I love this geek shit too because I love tweaking my stuff. I remember being so proud of myself when i first modded my Laney Pro tubes PCB to bypass the gain mods to get a straight 2204. I then gutted it and rebuilt it into a Caswell 39 sort of deal...
Well done! Didn't think of that but that is actually a great idea. I have a bit for making a hole in chassis and this gives the option of a quick(er) tube swap if needed. The amp being a Weber, a little swiss cheese in the side of the chassis won't devalue the thing.
Following for your mods.. I don't think I can squeeze this thing into a weber 1987x small box but if you do a 2204 at some point, I have a ton of real estate in those. Maybe the ultimate challenge... add this to a Bugera 1960 infinium?? It has the RR cascade mod already, would be cool to add...
I don't know why these comparisons come up.. Hendrix, EVH, YJM are stand out. They are on a diff level because they innovated. Randy was an awesome player but not really spontaneous in that he appears to have needed time to compose solos and think about them. But Randy had a presense EVH didn't...
I feel like Deraps proves the old adage " it's in the hands". The guy makes everything sound gainier than it is because he has a strong playing hand. That's part of the magic too. No light tough here, really digging in
I think we all love Ozz and his bands. I mean the guy had a great ear for melodies and an amazing performer. Can't take anything away from him there. He does however often get an easy pass professionally despite fucking people over. Very easy to blame Sharon but he clearly let her make the...
I wasn't aware the tuning was so fucky but that explains the heavy chewiness on that one. As for bark, I try to play it Jake's way as let's be honest, it's genius! The other ways sound good but they don't sound AS good as the stretch and the chord approach he took to his leads. But yeah, he...
Well one thing for sure, that ge-10 in line can kick that gain up and the blooming bass could be a characteristic of the choplex pre in line as well so I do think it is possible for that amp to be stock and hit with variac, eq pedal and echoplex pre to kick it in the ass.
I have a really nice gibson from 2017 that I got from Japan and it is very nice. What is funny is that with stock pups, I found it too thick sounding. Threw an aldrich in bridge and a dimarzo paf something in neck and now it has too much bite. Gibson probably selected those pups properly and I...
Bright like Nuno especially if you don't have a tone pot. I had run mine with a tone pot and 500K pot and it still had that cut. I can't imagine it in a guitar with no tone pot. It would sound exactly like Nuno sounds to me which is awesome for THAT tone. But not as much everything else.
