Goth Billy Idol for the new school.

well it turned out the accident was his fault after all, so i guess scratch that first part of my post :dunno:

KATSEYE was fucking Gnarly.

Life is so random. Here you have one of the more reckless and unpredictable dudes in the biz. Everyone knows about his problems, his mouth, and how he has been existing on trauma responses even before getting fired from the band he "didn't want to be in" anymore. But this time, someone who...

i'm happy for him. he's set his family up for generations, he's a founding father of heavy metal as we know it, he's had a long run, stop while you got some time and enjoy your life. Fuck the road. Fuck the public eye. Also, yeah his voice is rough, and the young, energetic, flawless, hired...

maybe it was the one. it did have an small issue with one or two dead caps in the 5 band. it made it so you couldn't use certain ranges of the 5 band. mike b walked me through fixing it myself, over the phone, and it was killer after that. it was the caps that went to ground on the 80 hz and...

i binge listened Randalls you tube page yesterday at work, and one thing he comes back to a lot is this whole concept of "creative chaos". He doesn't "know what he's doing" the way a schooled engienner does. Hes more of a "playing in the sandbox" type. He strikes me a very bright guy with...

This is an interesting hot take here. You've got guys that will spend a nice chunk of change on things like the fender tube reverb unit, the peavey valverb, clones of these things, etc. So i'm not saying you're wrong, but there are tons of people (likely wearing tan pants) that are going to...

I saw him with his solo band at Harpos in Detroit a few years Bach(lol get it!?!?) He sounded great! He knew he was on his game, and did that whole thing where he sings a few lines from other big rock bands from the era, whos singers maybe can't hang anymore (ahem: paul stanley...vince...

Reinventing the Steel was fucking terrible. the few ok songs sound like pantera at their drunkest. lots of phil just screaming, shit lyrics, generic riffs. the fuck are you talking about "right track"? Explain yourself sir!

my new v2 is on most of the time. Sounds awesome to my ears. just scooping the 900hz - 1.2k (depending on my tuning) helps out mark series amps BIG TIME. i actually boost (Shhhh don't tell the other metal guys) the 750hz slider now on my mark IV and use my lead eq as a solo boost. with all of...

sorry, i was just at the beach with some married broad...what did i miss 😜

does this mean the first version is going to nose dive in resale value like the old axe fx's did? i've been wanting to pick up a kemper stage again, but i've been waiting to find the right "Whore out" deal. like 750 or 800.

i'm not sure if i agree with that whole thing about it being a better guitar after a repair. it certainly isn't more valuable. no its SIGNIFICANTLY less valuable. makes for a better deal, that would be the only reason to buy a headstock repaired guitar. i got an 01 lp custom for 1100 in...

whatchu know about Hårgalåten!?
