I recorded that clip after I did a bunch of mods to the plexi. It is / was an awesome amp...with the Wizard I get that tone, with fx, a clean channel and the amp doesnt get hot and mush out towards the end of the nite. The Marshall is good for about a set and a half, then its done for the nite.donbarzini":2ozlmjut said:
I met Rick in '96 at winter NAMM while I was at GIT. That's when I first heard them....I finally landed one in about '01-02....danyeo":1tik7ijx said:

I would guess that's Brad's new rig (rareguitar), but it's missing roadcases.

No worries, I had no idea since we didnt get a computer until 97 or 98. Was wondering what all I missed!SHAWN":839v2ea9 said:

Saw 'em open for Metallica a coupla times on the Justice tour when Mindcrime first came out - they were stellar! I gotta say though that "The Warning" is still my favorite Queensryche album...70strathead":2wzdjjvk said:
Ya know, even though they are playing crappy venues I joked about since their heyday, I don't that's sad at all. The kinda fame they had is pretty elusive and rarely has longevity. Look... they're still playing and writing and whether we like the new stuff or not, they are doing what THEY want to do. If they didn't waste it all stupidly, they've all prolly got a little bank to retire on eventually. Seems like a pretty epic life to me, even if they do have to play at the local county fair now...70strathead":ejrmcth1 said:

They were UNBELIEVABLY loud! It was at Long Beach Arena and that place has the most reflections of any concert hall I've been in - really hard to distinguish Metallica at that volume... Additionally, before Metallica came on, the fans practically destroyed the place by ripping the foam cushions out of the seats and raining them down over those of us who were on the floor. What a mess! I also almost got killed by people rushing the floor as well. The lights went down for Metallica and I could see hundreds of people running for my seating area from the bleacher seats. I left my seat for fear for my life and hung by the mixing area on the floor. Hundreds of people ran by me destroying everything in their wake. I walked through the crowd later looking at the mangled mess where my floor seat used to be...thegame":hw8ojtyp said:
