    Strong hints that Van Halen 1 68 lead was just a slave amp and not the main amp.

    Well one thing for sure, that ge-10 in line can kick that gain up and the blooming bass could be a characteristic of the choplex pre in line as well so I do think it is possible for that amp to be stock and hit with variac, eq pedal and echoplex pre to kick it in the ass.

    Best Gibson Explorer or Explorer style guitar you've ever played?

    I have a really nice gibson from 2017 that I got from Japan and it is very nice. What is funny is that with stock pups, I found it too thick sounding. Threw an aldrich in bridge and a dimarzo paf something in neck and now it has too much bite. Gibson probably selected those pups properly and I...

    I didn't know Dime disconnected the tone pot in his guitars...............

    Bright like Nuno especially if you don't have a tone pot. I had run mine with a tone pot and 500K pot and it still had that cut. I can't imagine it in a guitar with no tone pot. It would sound exactly like Nuno sounds to me which is awesome for THAT tone. But not as much everything else.

    Yngwie Protein Powder

    Those leather pants don't lie, when I saw him last year he looked skinny but more like he was on Ozempic than he was crushing weights and protein shakes.

    Yngwie Protein Powder

    :D Dave is still holding out for the "perfect" lead player after the other "perfect" ones did not work out!

    Black Sabbath/Ozzy - Back to the Beginning thread

    I think it is also a mindset thing. Extreme was never a huge act so when Nuno plays and talks about other players, he approaches it from the perspective of a fan first. He loves all the greats and gets excited about what they do. He isn't a diva like a YJM might be or even Schenker to an extent...

    Guess what?!

    Well when you have the brilliant idea of letting in 900,000 Syrian refugees seemingly at once, things are gonna go sideways. But yeah, the rest of Europe seems to be following suite and only now waking up but as long as you get daily boats, things will never change. Def a different Europe than I...

    So I clicked on a new Ola video of the modded 800

    I tried his vids and didn't get blocked or prompted for anything..

    Black Sabbath/Ozzy - Back to the Beginning thread

    Dave sometimes has odd takes on various things. Maybe because Nuno didn't want a designer amp from Dave it has left a stain. I can't think of any other reason not to like a guy like Nuno if you are blowing your load over guys like EVH, Lynch, Sykes etc... maybe his tone is thin and piercing ok...

    Ozzy live vocals?

    He and MANY others are known for redoing those vocals in the studio for their " live" studio releases. Listen to all the bootlegs to know how he sounded night to night. Looks like 2002 ushered in the " new" Zakk as well. Still playing cleanly here but all over the squealy harmonics...

    Black Sabbath/Ozzy - Back to the Beginning thread

    Sharon and Kelly look like walking skeletons at this point. Surgeries and Ozempic do a skeleton make.. Also call me crazy but I much prefer Sabbath with Dio.

    INAD: Rare’ish Randall content… another reason why Dave Friedman rules!

    I had one of the modules.. was essentially a jcm800 preamp with a bit more on tap. Sounded good. These Randalls fly under he radar. I think the Lynch hardwired model ( no modules, just 3 channel amp) with the i believe a clean - brahma - Judge circuits was a fantastic sounding amp. No many made.

    Vivian Campbell: From Dio Fallout to Def Leppard Legend

    I once had tickets to a show in Italy to see Phish but only because Satch was opening.. got to the show and heard Satch had cancelled, scalped my ticket for next to nothing to a ticket vendor, left my buddies and went home. I thought and still think, that Phish is shit. Funny enough, I have had...

    Vivian Campbell: From Dio Fallout to Def Leppard Legend

    He's in an echo chamber here " Yeah Ronnie ! He really is an asshole! Yeah! " . Looks like Ronnie went where no man should go.. wishing death even in a passing statement is just one of those things you don't do and he should know that being of Italian origin and southern Italian origin where the...

    Vivian Campbell: From Dio Fallout to Def Leppard Legend

    I was having fun with my comments but for sure it was a good interview and he does seem like a good guy. I am sure he might of had a bit of a temper in his youth as well but the way he describes the Dio situation makes sense. I mean how many times has a wife manager destroyed everything? (...
