Why do I like Celestion G12-65's but I don't really care for 25 Watt Greenbacks????????

Makes me wonder what the actual vintage 80's G12-65's sound like now???? It never ends.......

The vintage ones hold together noticeably better and have more rawness/grain. The earlier the better too (e.g. 1979 is preferable to 1983).

Sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don't.

Got to agree with Dan here. You might just be gay? Greenbacks are my favourite speakers in the world for everything up until metal.

Yes! I have four Marshall "Vintage" speakers in the 16-ohm version made in 1990. I believe these are the first year offered in 16-ohms. I LOVE THEM.

I have two in my 2x12" and that's what I was using in those live Diezel videos.

That was awesome tone. Man. I bet that was fun. I love Black Sabbath. I need to do more covers of that.

I have a 1960BX and an EVH cab that I run together. The EVH is slightly less bright than the 1960BX. Love them both. Prefer V30's under a mic, but not in the room. IDK.

I hard flirted with the 1960BX for a low gain cab. Man, It was hard not to buy the damn thing

I have a pair of '1983 dated 65's that I put in my Marshall 4104 that sound killer.
