I am a big fan of Doug's playing, but I haven't been a fan of his singers on his solo projects, which hinders me from enjoying them. I liked Hurricane, House of Lords, and the stuff that he did with Dean C (written by someone else), but Kal and the other guy are not my favorites. I think that...

Whatever feels best, use it. I went to 11's about 14 years ago, because the tension felt more even across the strings for my right hand. Over the last five years, I've played less and I'm older and my left hand is really giving me fits. I moved to 10's in standard, but now I'm contemplating...

Them, Conspiracy and the Eye are the albums that I listen to the most of Kings. Abigail is in there too, but Pete was such an amazing player and so similar to Andy, it was like having to LaRoques. Mike, the 'new' guy is equally as good, it's just that King's style has changed as a...

How is the neck, is it a wizard profile? I love those new models.

I don't believe the 70's versions were plywood, were they?

Agreed on Vai. The guy comes out after everyone (especially Zakk) has blown their wads all over the place and goes completely Jack Butler on them and essentially drops the mic. Whether you love his style or hate it, there is no denying he is on another plane when it comes to controlling the...

I went to the show last week, I couldn't see any of Vai's gear, other than it looked like he had the Legacy pedal on a table behind him. His tone seemed off compared to the last few times that I've seen him, though it could have been the house. Is he still using his heads, or is he just using...

Classic thrash, I love Annihilator - Neverland, Coroner - Mental Vortex, Toxik - Think This, Overkill - Horrorscope. Classic Death Metal, Death - Individual Thought, Atheist - Unquestionable Presence and Cynic - Focus (funny that they're all rotating band members of the same bands). Is it...

Funny you should say that. I have a monster cable that I use and my number one guitar has started an annoying issue of the cable falling out, to the point that I have to wind the excess around my strap (I have always done this part), but then cinch it up tight to the body, so the cable is...

I'm partial to the BB+, but I have a friend that runs a twin with the Bogner Red and holy shit it is glorious. He gets the best of both worlds, a Bogner lead tone and a Fender clean.

Are you looking for leads or pads?

I have an Eric Johnson strat with real single coils and the same thing happens to me. As long as I'm playing, you don't notice the hum/hiss and in a band situation, the band noise would probably be enough (though you could ride the volume knob). I read Yngwie's book and I believe that he...

Early Yngwie is incredible. His sense of melody in his improv is something that reminds me a lot of Django. He just had great timing and phrasing. It's sad that as his technique has gotten better, if you use BPM as a judge, his phrasing has been lost. He used to breath so much more, which...

You mentioned never having problems before, so obviously you are used to floyds. With that said, new strings and floyds do crazy thing until the strings are properly stretched. I don't see in your post, but is the bridge set to float, or is it flat to the body? If it floats, what happens...

After a lot of research, I bought an Eric Johnson strat. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. From my understanding amongst even Fender employees, it is their best guitar short of a custom shop as far as fit/finish and details. If you are looking to purchase another one, I would check...

I have one and I don't have that problem. I do feel a little underwhelmed after going from my clean channel to the distortion, but I chalk that up to having an Eric Johnson styled clean sound, or a Dream Theater "pull me under" wash of delay and reverb on my clean channels, to a very dry...

My guess is that it's the venue. I saw Megadeth a few years back at a club (2000 seater) and it was awesome. I asked the tech side stage what they were using, as it sounded so good. He said thanks, they're AXE II's, I programmed 'em. Now different bands, different techs, etc...but with...

What about a used vintage modern? Just set it clean and boost from there. Basically, the same way that Paul Gilbert has his setup.

Someone posted above that it was Chris (Thump) and Bob. I don't remember why Chris left, but I know the guy traded amps at an insane clip. He alone kept UPS in business during the 00's.

That layout/format change though - :doh: :doh: Those days from 2000-07 were great. Just the sheer number of users, the comedy, the knowledge, the fights...
