    Guilty pleasures

    Blackhawk is one of the best from the 90s, so many good tunes from those guys.

    What was you first "Real" amp?

    First amp was a Triaxis with a used Mesa 50/50 power amp. Killer rig.

    What's with Covers and Chasing After Other Musician's Tones?

    I started leaning to play when I was 12 and all I ever cared about was learning other peoples songs cuz it was just a hobby of mine, luckily I live in Delaware where the only bands that mean shit are cover bands so I guess it kinda worked out, I've played a lot of big clubs over the years and...

    Has anyone heard of the band Evergrey from Sweden?

    Been one of my favorite bands for years, got a chance to see them in a small club in Baltimore back in 2019 I believe and they were amazing live, shame there weren't more people there to support, probably less then 100 people there would be my guess. Got to meet them all after the show, very...

    anyone do the full time “club circuit”?

    Yeah the place we played in the keys was just called the tiki bar in holiday isle, they had a band house that looked like a world war 2 bomb shelter with an undisclosed amount of diseases running around, I saw it and found a hotel for the week which made the whole thing more tolerable. Fun times.

    anyone do the full time “club circuit”?

    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...

    Guys who play out (or used to)…question

    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.

    What solo are you working on?

    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.

    How do I restring these vintage tuners with the holes in the shaft?

    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.

    MESA/Boogie® Mark IIC+ full demo & overview ft. Doug West & Tommy Waugh

    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.

    Well, the new Opeth dropped today!

    I think it's their best album since watershed, opinions 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.

    Took a peek down the Fractal rabbit hole... considering a major change now.

    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...

    School me on Mercyful Fate and King Diamond

    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.

    ALL HALLOWS EVE

    Whole album is great this time of year, but this is my favorite track.

    Anyone USE THE KEY FOR INTONATION OF A FLOYD ROSE?

    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.

    Talk me into or talk me out of this

    For that price it's kind of a no brainer, I would say to do it.

    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.

    NAD: VHT Sig:X

    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...
