Kids, I feel for the amp owner...ouch. Since this thread seems to be falling one one side of a fence or the other I'll side. I vote volume addict, no apologies. I do advocate ear protection. I, also, am a hopeless lover bands in the vein of Sabbath, check out Torche or Ufomommat, and going...

Thanks all, I've just downloaded leafDrums. I need a place to start. I may wind up exploring all avenues. However, all journeys begin with a single step. And, leafDrums shall be mine. edit2: I just downloaded natural studio's free drum wav groupo. The sounds are killer. Not a Neil Peart...

you need to "learn" me all about'm. I haven't had any luck with breathing drummers so it seems I should go with software. There are other benefits I'm desperately in need of like setting my compositions in concrete. Also, I'm not very interested in drum machines as I can get my hands on one...

Shellac (of North America). I own the album Terraform. Steve Albini making music and recording music the way he chooses. The snare just freak'n sounds like a snare oughta', it crackles. It is a brutally honest recording and still a warm and musical recording. The songs are a bit tedious but...

I believe the guitar amp you are looking for is an Electric EA 180 with a quad of KT88 power tubes for 180 watts of guitar power. Or, the master volume variation. http://www.greenamps.com/catalog.html I can't imagine a guitar amp louder. :eek:

Don't overestimate Gibby's American quality...I'm not a hater of Gibby but one needs to be realistic about their quality. Make sure you remove the neck pickup and check the tenon and stuff like that. I bought a MIK lester and it just sings and I can't list how many things I love about it. It...

In the long run I prefer the simplicity of stompers. I have a nice multi effect unit with some killer effects like tape echo, phaser, tremolo, leslie, 3 great reverbs, and more. BUT, it cannot reproduce the real sound of a Germanium fuzz face or a Tube Screamer. The one quality I really really...

When you put the monster down, metaphorically speaking, and pick it back up.

I was playing a Vox wah and some prick who worked at the local snob guitar store commented on how my wah sounded like a wah was supposed to sound and whatever he was playing did not. ymmv.

ummm, not to be an arsehole, but, played twice and got compliments all the time. Please clarify so no one thinks this is a convoluted sales pitch. I think any good amp deserves a matching home.

Tradition guitars, well built MIK guitars. I've got a S2000 beauty and bought it for eight bills including tax. I prolly could have scored it cheaper if I haggled or looked around but I like the store owner. He's a mom an pop store guy and he plays jazz (which is reason enough to feel sorry...

At first learning guitar can suck, really suck. When I'm learning new stuff I try to get a recording of the music and get the music or tabs. Then I put one note in front of the next, there is usually some cussing, beer drinking, then more cussing. It can be very frustrating with guitars...

Electric Amplification recommended for the real brown note. not kidding.

Epiphone fret job. If the truss rod does not yield good results have the frets looked at by a pro.

As all around weekend warriors when my buddies and I record we still try to use the whole guitar rig, mics, into a recording device. I can line out from a fancy schmancy multi effect unit with speaker simulators but it just isn't convincing. So, we close mic the speaker cabs and use distant...

http://gwar.net/node look and the answer to your question shall be revealed. I shall be listening to Motorhead or Ride the Lightning in the meantime. Oh yeah, if you have never been down front for a GWAR show baby you ain't %$#@ METAL!

QOTSA and FU and Monster Mag are the future/past of Metal. Heavy hard well written with thought given to lyrics even if nonsence guitar driven with big ass drums and bass. RAWK. If you name your band Cannibal Corpse and you write a song about outer space you have past you self defined limits...

http://www.caubleamps.com/index_004.htm This guys amps look to be A-Freaking-Mazing. Hand built, Mercury Magnetics, 2 el34s and 2 6l6s, I can't wait to hear one. I hope he is at the Arlington Guitar Show. I don't know if you'd be getting smoother than Mesa distortion but you would certainly...

in the 80's Metal in general got used up by over marketing. For every Metallica you had a toilet full of Winger and Bon Jovi (my vote). Though no one can dispute that Bon Jovi's Anti Metal-ness they had the stage show, hair, video's, guitar solo's, and all the other crap that Metal had in...
