Perhaps Greg isn't as innovative as Monkey or Head from KORN, but I like the stuff they do and the music both bands put out is golden, so good that in Mudvayne, Greg gets overlooked. This type of playing 25 years ago when they first came out was so much better than most stuff coming out and was...

I like it anyway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Tribbett My first time hearing Mudvayne was the "Dig" video. If you haven't seen it yet you should know that it's disturbingly odd and freaky as all hell. This was around 2001, I think. The juke box at the local bar had one song in it that was metal - "Death...

I can play anything on guitar. The playing only parts shit was what pissed me off about the other guys in my neighborhood. They were sitting around playing Beatles, Stone, etc. from a book of chords and I said it sounds nothing like the songs. They said, "if you're so good, here", and...

Saying you don't like modded Marshalls is like saying you don't like sunshine. Just about everyone loves sunshine. But then again, YMMV!

I watched another video where the discussion was about void-free plywood and how big a difference it made compared to regular plywood. I figured I'd see what was available and I'm glad I did because the stuff at Home Depot and Lowes has terrible reviews so I ordered some B/BB rated, 13 ply...

Larry, it's all about Larry, that is why I'm here! Larry, Larry, Larry, Boogie. Otherwise, it's got to be the infighting. Fucking hilariously funny! I lasted less than hour @ TGP before I was perma-banned. I may have been scolded a couple of times here but never perma-banned.

Not only do I seemed to like the guitars and amps that are MIA, I tend to keep the stuff made in the 1980's. I have played some super nice MIM Stratocasters, but I can't say the same for any MIJ Stratocaster. I grew up on pre-CBS Stratocasters. Fender pre-CBS Jaguars and Mustang (Boat Paddles)...

I saw them couple of times around this time. It's cool watching this, thanks. Tony's tone and playing is great, he really stepped it up, his best ever, tasty. Dio was so cool, I usually hate the glorious singers but Dio was different. :rock: He sang the Ozzy stuff better than Ozzy. Great stage...

I bought the white sreinberger in 2016 and played it so much I've worn the paint off down to the wood! Steinbergers are great guitar, solid as a piano. They play very easy and the sound is pristine. I just bought another headless guitar, a Pearson, from New Zealand that just shipped out last...

David Klang sent me the owner's manual. David also said he modded it for Tony with a switch under the chassis for less gain on the hot channel. Yes, this is a clean machine. I've ordered everything I need to make a cabinet - EVM15L thiele design on the bottom and a EVM12L open back on top...

My Knaggs plays similar in feel to the many pre-CBS Strats I've owned and have played, which is many. I'd take the Knaggs over any guitar I've ever played, which is saying a lot really.

AC/DC? Sharon said it wasn't Iron Maiden and Tool has been ruled out as the band that got scratched. Anybody know? Personally I'm looking forward to this concert because all of those motherfuckers are me. I'm that guy who lived by rock and metal. I ate, breathed and slept music my whole life...
