Somebody said

It's the best period!

I like Criss Oliva's Tone on Hall of the Mountain King and Gutter Ballet.

MrHiwatt

I read that his tone was 2 SD1s back to back, one with the tone dimed and the other on 0, into a clean bass amp.

 

[Badronald]

The G chord during the intro of Mean Streets is THE greatest G chord ever recorded

Disagree.

Sinners Swing and Dream Warriors.

Top honors, Sinners Swing.

No. My preference is objectively superior to all others.

Brad Gillis' live tone on 'Speak of the Devil'. I realize Ozzy went back and laid down vocal tracks post recording, but the bands sound on those Sabbath tunes and Gillis' tone are simply outstanding! Sad to that SOTD isn't available on ITunes. I actually can't find it available for download anywhere.
Anyways, it fucken rocks hard! Can I get an Amen?
