    Blow my fuse

    Definitely, I have that in my top 10 hair band / hard rock riffs. So good.

    IR-J or hold out for JEL 20?

    I wonder about this though..how about IR-J into loop / power section of a 50 or 100 watt jcm800?? I have to think that's going to ha e more bloom and headroom in the low end and sound closer to the 50

    Knuckledraggers, tell me about the Friedman JEL-20

    I'm the opposite, I really am not loving the Synergy/Marshall JMP. I think it sounds like shit through my gt75 / V30 1960 cab. I should probably run it into my greenback/ weber 65 cab in my amp closet before I slag it more though. But even with iR's, I find it bass heavy and too much useless...

    Black Friday Sales...... What are you getting *_*

    Thinking of picking up a good mic I can use for vocals and all duties really. Thinking Austrian Audio OC-18. Oh, and a new mattress. Back getting sore on my memory foam one after 9+ years of use. Good run, but time. They don't given mattresses away do they.

    You all know I love Yngwie. But…

    lol yes apparently. He's flying here. That picking hand so deadly. Probably the first time i have realized how different pre accident Yngwie was.

    Is the new Tremoline T36 an OFR Floyd killer????????

    Agreed. Vega trem sounds great but it looks dinky. Too small on a strat. Why would they not have adapted it so it fits visually?

    You all know I love Yngwie. But…

    I'm not comparing skills as much as comparing innovation. Also listen to demos Yngwie at 16-18 that you can find on YT. Holy shit balls. So precise. Really all I am saying is comparison is pointless, but so is the " he was so much better". These guys get so much better because of the guys that...

    He's not wrong. That was messy.

    Mercyful Fate - Simple, yet aggressive..

    Both his bands kick so much ass and the music stayed really really good for a long time! King has a ton of records between those two bands. Different veins with KD having the better leads ( until Wead jumped on board for both bands) but MF really having the chunky groovy riffs. King Diamond...

    You all know I love Yngwie. But…

    But none of that would have happened IF it weren't for Yngwie. There is a reason this exists. ( love the black guy in the back thinking WTF is this shit lol) Also, he is nowhere as clean as YJM and his tone is shit. So yeah, there is that too. As much as we all love Becker, Yngwie is the king...

    It's 1987 ... John Norum

    You nailed it, you hear all these guys in his playing.

    Lights Out in London Michael Schenker Orlando 9-5-25 Mike's still killin it

    He's my number 1 hands down. Right at the top of that mountain of the greats. I put him above all the other guys I love like YJM, Rhoads, EVH etc. For me it is just the phrasing, rythms, and that big ass larger than life vibrato. Also, the out of control early cocaine era MSG has some of the...

    New David Grohl Gibson. $$$$$$$

    Grohl is a talented fella and has written some really good music but I agree, fuck that guy. Too into himself. Huge ego playing the " I'm just a simple musician". I tire of him easily. I'd never pay 11K for a rosewood board that looked like that.

    You all know I love Yngwie. But…

    lol I love that line about sinking his battleship BUT I don't hear that at all. I hear two distinct shredders and masters of their own style. I do love that playful blues swing shit Jason did with the arpeggios thrown in but then also am blown away by that eastern "exotic" phrasing Marty always...

    You all know I love Yngwie. But…

    Paul def peaked at Mr. Big. He put it all together perfectly there. Poppy hooks but in a rock context and some amazing either melodic solos or downright nasty tight shred. It is the best of everything without being too much of anything. But since that yeah, his tone has gotten worse and he's a...
