RESIDENT ROCK PROFESSOR
Damn I love this tone . Recorded at 5150 studio too
Sounds like Nickleback minus the Uber bro date rape Rohypnol aspect. Let’s call it Bro-light rock.
Exactly Dan. Which goes a long way towards explaining Iced Earth, the roid rage version of Iron MaidenMan, that goes to show you that there's no guitar tone in the universe that can save dogshit ass music.
I’m not big on AB . But I read what he used in new guitar world and how it ended up an accident adding the 5153 to the mix replacing another Diezel ( Herbert I’m assuming ).
And there' no accounting for taste, which definitely goes to explaining your predilections forExactly Dan. Which goes a long way towards explaining Iced Earth, the roid rage version of Iron Maiden![]()

the cock is some other OT member’s overdone shtick. Or has an alt account just been exposed?
But really, I can’t think of any other member here that is as generous as you when it comes to throwing out the term “dogshit” as it applies to other’s taste in music. You gotta expect some reciprocation from time to time.
Now, go listen to some KISS![]()
Come on Gary, pick your spots.If I heard bleed right now, I would definitely shit my pantsI'm super disappointed that you would ever assume that I would listen to Kiss
And more disappointed you would assume I'm BS - he's absolutely singular as an RTer
But I'm even more disappointed that you decided on the Alter Bridge post to play the zoomer-poptimism "well like, everything is subjective maaaaaaan" card, where there's no objective reality where good music is good and bad music is badCome on Gary, pick your spots.
Listen man, I wouldn't have to shit on everyone's taste in music if people had taste in music. It doesn't have to be things I personally enjoy, even. I can appreciate someone digging the Pogues, Philip Glass, Toto, and Tom Waits, I just don't personally listen to any of them - they are not shitty. They are objectively good music that takes talent to create even if i find it annoying or whatever.
All the "dogshit" (as you so eloquently put it) falls into a handful of very easily identifiable categories:
1. Shitty, low effort mainstream boomer nostalgia bait ala Alter Bridge - this isn't limited to 2000s butt rock, this also includes late period Extreme and Van Halen and many other bands. The same people who post live videos of George Lynch's desiccated corpse fumbling along on that last objectively good music he released, 40 years ago.
2. Exhaustingly overrated technical groove and death metal by "bands" that are a combination of drum samples, 5150s, and TOTALLY BR00TAL pig squeals - more shitty taste in music bonus points if they shit their pants everytime they hear "Bleed" as if that entire genre wasn't played out by the late 90s. This shit is even more awful because there's so much great death metal and heavy music out there, but apparently everyone is enthralled by the same 5 shitty metalcore bands they heard at their pot dealer's trailer in 2005.
3. Bands that were never good, but have become "good" by default, because modern music sucks so bad, like the entire genre of Nu-metal. Ah yes, we get it, you're too fucking lazy to search out any remotely good music, so were going to pretend that Munky and Wes Borland are CrEaTiVe GEnIoUSeS because you heard their shitty b-sides on 2 fast and furious and wrestlemania 19. This has basically only happened because zoomer poptimist online rags like pitchfork wanted to listen to their gay disco music without people like me making fun of them.
4. Non-underground "underground" bands: This is a huge category. Shitty albums by bands that have given up but have bills to pay. See: anything released by metallica, slayer, or megadeth since the 90s. Their kids gotta go to college, so we have to put up with people pretending that 72 seasons is in any way listenable music, or that divine intervention has any redeeming qualities when even Kerry King admits it fucking sucks.
It isn't even a genre specific thing - there are a bunch of hair metal bands that are still releasing awesome music (stryper, surprisingly) classic/power metal bands (accept since they got that new singer) as well as great death metal bands that are still going strong (dead congregation, etc)

My 100 steslth does . But Wizard Hell Razot blends perfectly with vh4 . @Omnipotent1 was blown away by the blendKennedy says the 50w 6L6 5150 III is the only amp he's found that can blend well with and match the VH4 freq response.
ImMan, that goes to show you that there's no guitar tone in the universe that can save dogshit ass music.

While I agree with most if not all of your points, the bit in bold is a subjective musical opinion. Divine Intervention is one of my favourite Slayer albums. Redeeming qualities include kickass vocals, extremely technical drums and guitar hooks for weeks.
Kerry King only said that he didn't like the guitar tones, iirc. I love how they sound when paired with the drums, as though the kit was made up of skulls.
I can't think of a better answer to any critics than this song. There's more in that album, it's so technical compared to anything Slayer ever did:
Also seems to me that Kerry didn't like the album because it was difficult to play live. Hardly any videos on YT of them playing the songs, including the one I posted.
