My favorite album from VH. Awesome songwriting, riffs, solos. Everything is perfect.

Didn't Van Halen use 5150's on the 2004 EVH tour for live use? That was probably the 5150II though

this is the first song i remember becoming aware of the 5150 in the late 90s. these dudes played a small club in CT back then and it was absolute complete chaos.. people swinging and jumping from the PA, tables and chairs flying, kung fu acrobatics everywhere.. i didnt even know who they were. listening back now though throwing a chair seems like a good idea



Edit: then i remember As I Lay Dying totally ripping off this song on headbangers ball and i was so pissed

 

[NeilOConnor]

+1 for Chimaira and Machine Head. Also this...

The classic stuff is drop C.

no, some of it is in Drop B +40 cents & C# standard.

For what it’s worth, ascendancy was a 5150 and a recto, not just a 5150. But I think the main tone was a 5150 through a krank cab.

Heartwork, clayman, anything out of studio fredman, black dahlia murder. Ironically though, every one of these records had some weird/out there techniques to get those tones. Heartwork and the frankencab, clayman with a Laney head and a Marshall valvestate blended in, black dahlia and the parallel EQing done under the main tone etc.


Oh, and for the “im a bullshitter” crowd lol

the real takeaway for me here is that you both actually use those ridiculous apple face emoji doodads.....
