Played in the Delaware cover scene for a while in one of the more known cover bands, played 4-6 nights a week in my 20's all over the tri-state area and as far south as the keys. Used to make anywhere from 150-300 a night depending on the club and how far we had to travel. Lots of miles and...
I'd bring two for cover shows, would learn how to play everything in one tuning so there wasn't constant breaks between songs switching guitars around.
After 20 plus years of doing the cover band shit I'm not learning anything for a while, I'll play my own boring riffs for the time being. The angry again solo would be cool to check out though.
I have two luxxtones with these tuners, I always measure two tuners past the one I'm stringing, seems to work quite well, for the last two strings I just guesstimate.
Well for an amp to be reissued for a certain buyer they certainly missed the mark with this demo, unless the feel is 100% accurate I'd say they created an amp that's very limited compared to their current offerings. If the feel is there then it's game on I guess.
Dude fuckin kills it, just discovered his solo albums a couple weeks ago after years of listening to symphony x and they are both insane. Thanks for posting these.
I went down this same rabbit hole a couple years back. I hated the idea of going digital but I also hated the idea of continuing to lug heavy gear in to clubs at my age so I went from a Bogner rig to an original FM9 and I didn't really feel like it was missing all that much in terms of tone or...
For King Diamond I would say Them and The Eye, particularly the song Father Picard, kick ass riffs all over that song. For Mercyful the only album I know is Into the Unknown and it's killer all the way thru.
I always wanted this version after using the key but I got rid of all my Floyd's. The key is clunky but I managed to get it to work a few times, just took some patience and a few f-bombs.
Up for sale is my El Machete, Jerry started a special series of guitars released around a year ago called the crypt series, this is the first guitar in that run of the seven (I believe) guitars out there in this series. It's an amazing guitar but after it sitting in the case since I purchased it...
Sucks, I bought two of these when they came out and I really wanted to like it based on reviews coming out at that time but both were red plating like crazy and had horrible noise issues so I sent them both back and never got to really trying this amp out. They seem like a great amp that I never...
Cool song till the solos start then it's just more of the same for me. I miss the early days when it wasn't all about playing as fast as they can and they actually crafted fitting solos.
This is very true, most people will never know if you make a mistake and who cares anyways. But, I did have a night where Vinnie Moore strolled into the club we were playing after he toured opening up for the scorpions, my bass player thought it funny to open the night with rock you like a...
Never had stage fright really but I always found that smaller crowds were harder to play for just because it felt like everyone was staring me down. Never liked attention all that much. Played probably 500 shows in my years and that never got any easier for me. Playing at a packed club was never...
