    Mtv VMAs

    Exactly.. he's a second rate Adam Lambert because Lambert at least, had his own flair and thing going on and although he could go fruity, he had/has a hell of a voice to back it up. He doesn't need to crotch grind to command attention.

    Mtv VMAs

    When is the last time we cared about MTV? As for Nuno yes, rumor has it he has a custom line of his own guitars coming out. Apparently there is a website but it is a "coming soon" sort of thing. Theories are either that Washburn will build it for him as an off brand or that it could even be FU...

    Mtv VMAs

    This Youngblud kid seems alright and he's done well with marketing but he is also so over the top he's almost like a Steel Panther " rock" star. Not even sure if he writes his own music but most of it seems like it was pretty terrible to me. He's all pouty duck lips and eye liner all the time...

    Lots of maple

    Quarter Pounder rules. I loved the chopper until I got a quarter Pounder in my Demartini Pro Mod. It is the sound i had in my head. Probably going to get more for a few other axes.

    Special-edition MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+ Pedal (NOT a limited edition)

    "Collector's items".. I think Dunlop should release all of Randy's pedalboard and allow people to put together their own " chip pan". Now that's marketing.. sell only 1982 of them ( the year of his death) and watch the prices on that go through the roof.

    New MSG

    I think it is solid enough as a new offering but let's be honest, we go to a Schenker show to hear the classics. I think it is good enough to play live but I'd forget it pretty quick. Such a tasty player though, might be my number 1. I also agree that this new production style is bland because...

    Special-edition MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+ Pedal (NOT a limited edition)

    Ok, I definitely hear it now. Cocked into the distortion plus and evened out by the EQ. Genius. Off to try it out.

    Special-edition MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+ Pedal (NOT a limited edition)

    I'm confused because if you look at a pedal board, it's usually right to left..plug into your first pedal on the right and signal flows left out to the amp. He can't wire his wah backwards lol.. therefore it has to sit at the end even though all these online diagrams place it first which is...

    Special-edition MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+ Pedal (NOT a limited edition)

    So Nerd Alert, this is the vid I was talking about. They very briefly talk about him using the wah as a filter and it is pointed out in comments too. So he would have gone into the Distortion + and then into the 10 band and chorus with wah at the very end of the chain. Presumably set to where he...

    Have you guys seen this much Randy Rhoads footage?

    That would make sense but would they have recorded with no sound?

    Have you guys seen this much Randy Rhoads footage?

    lol, Sharon lawsuit.. "Kathy you shut your mouth or we won't continue to trickle you guys pennies every year so that we can pretend to worship Randy!"

    Special-edition MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+ Pedal (NOT a limited edition)

    This devalues the 450$ I spend on the "limited edition" but I'm game anyway, I'll pick one up. One question I have though, they mention in this video that he set the pot in his wah to fixed frequency BEFORE the MXR+ and his EQ pedal?? I don't hear that at all. EDIT: wrong video, I just watched...

    Tweaking Super Lead specs

    I think just doing the Friedman tweaks he mentioned in that Pete Thorn shop video a while back where they were chasing the VH thing for that video Pete did. Very basic tweaks and the rest is your hands and a pickup with decent gain. Honestly, 3 to 4 changes will get you there.

    Have you guys seen this much Randy Rhoads footage?

    This is another good one for the sound, a bit blurry but glad we had people forward thinking in their bootlegging back in the day so we have something. I remember seeing that and instantly recognizing the lift. Randy was such a good live player, the albums are good but live is a whole other thing.

    Have you guys seen this much Randy Rhoads footage?

    Can you link it? Had not heard about that .. wait, found it. Yes I've always wondered about that clip. There clearly has to be more?

    Have you guys seen this much Randy Rhoads footage?

    This is solid.. I have seen clips of this before but never this many tunes and never that close. You can see his face more near the end. Pretty killer. Too bad for the anti copyright dots throughout but it is awesome to have this footage . I still think there is more out there but this was a fun...

    On the bench: An ongoing thread

    Any tips for Floyd screws? Not the posts but drilling for the screws that go right into the wood. I just picked up a drill press because my first few holes were off and one screw went in crooked..

    Drill Press Recommendations for guitar mods?

    Ok, doubling back here, there was a great condition ( no rust ) 10' available by me for 80$ cad which is what 60$ usd?? So I grabbed that and will see how i go. Just saw a 14 come up nearby as well but man, the 10 is pretty damn big already and im really just looking to make post holes for a...

    Tech 21 Marty Friedman Signature SansAmp with Marty Himself

    Sounds like shit...doesn't sound like the Friedman " clean" or " lead" really. But I hear the auto filter thing in his playing much more now. But it takes his phrasing and bends to really make that sound.

    New stuff from ToneX

    Impressive.. these guys are making it where I will likely just rent expensive mics for a weekend of capturing and then send them back and just rock my captures.
