    Abandoning my dream amp. Am I crazy?

    We all know all roads lead back to Marshall and the predictable pedal and mod friendly JCM800 so just save yourself the hassle and come back to the chosen one. Stick a hot mod in it, mod it, stack pedals into it, use an EQ in the loop. If you have one, you likely already have what you need. Go...

    Odyssey is Yngwies peak

    Let's not forget Seventh Sign also has some bangers and the production sounds big. I always liked that even though Vescera's vocals could grate on the ears. Would have liked another vocalist but the songs hold up and have great energy.

    Odyssey is Yngwies peak

    I was a bit let down by it after Eclipse but it still has some great tunes on it. I mean " Teaser" has a great hook. Biggest issue i have with that album, is the tone. Way too nasal, someone forgot the bass knob on his amp and in the mix. Guitar sounds hollow. As I mentioned, Yngwie...

    Is a Gibson Explorer comfortable to play sitting?

    Amazing playing guitar but i prefer it standing. I don't like where it sits on my lap. I just wish I could find a long strap because it is so wide that I can't get it low enough with any of the straps I have. If anyone can recommend a nice long leather strat that would be great

    Yes, the trilogy tour footage is crazy. He plays so fast on those songs often running ahead but it is an incredible performance overall. I love Eclipse so I'm with you. A few runaway solos but it all feels thought out.

    ACE's LP

    You even got a python guitar strap to go with the RR. Great look!

    ACE's LP

    Sorry yes Burny! Bizarre name but hey, the Japanese like odd things. I have a fantastic cream colored Edwards. I wouldn't hesitate to get another. It's heavy but has an ebony fretboard. Plays like butta'! You are right though, that Burny logo looks great. How do yours play? Did you need to make...

    War to End All Wars is the pinnacle of his WORST mixing and producing. The drums are horrible on that one and boxy. Tone muddy and splatty as well. BUT some of the tunes are still pretty passable and have the hooks. For all the making fun of him we do, he does write some catchy hooks. This one...

    What I will say about him though, is that even though the quality went down after let's say 1990, a lot of those albums still had great tunes. I mean this is catchy and this album never gets mentioned. It's got a great groove pre chorus. It is however, the era of Yngwie having zero restraint and...

    ACE's LP

    Are those pups essentially early Super D's? I mean that's the tone right there... but better. Looks like MV JMP too. Black LP with cream pups is still on my list.. might have to find an Edwards or Burnley on the cheap!

    Wahh wahhhh

    Any wah considering all you are going to do is rock it back and forth nonsensically like Kirk does. Might as well just get the cheapest. Dunlop mini cry-baby is great, not expensive, and gives you 3 voicings.

    But sadly, not many of us got to see our teacher's after school' ( and get to think of all the education that we missed... )

    True.. Ratt's first albums is weak, Too Fast for Love sort of " cool" but the Scorps were bringing it and Schenker def was with MSG. Dio era Rainbow too I think no? There was some great stuff out. But you are right, Steelers wasnt drastically worse than a lot of what their peers put out.

    interesting new guitar gadgets

    So screechy but that's the sound! Amazing on AFD. ( I know that AFD may have been 36 but the demos are the 39 for sure and they aren't too far off one another. Levi was tasked with making another 39 after all)

    that Steeler album is so bad but that guitar playing is CRAAAAAZY. He fucking rips hard on that. That was his first official album was it not? Hello World, meet YJM!

    Tracii Guns wrote Appetite For Destruction

    I kind of dig the tune more here if I am honest. Vocals aren't dialed in but the rythms sound great and I dig the vibe more than what ended up on AFD. Tracii's solo sucks though.

    This is essentially a masterclass in Schenker ripping on this tune- timestamped:

    Tracii Guns wrote Appetite For Destruction

    Ok, so I revisited this one and it actually is not as bad as I remember but also not all that memorable so I think the general consensus stands.

    Less range on dive bombs and pull ups for starters. Also look lamo.
