i'm not sure what universe that would be the best in, but it's a universe i don't want to live in...d.m.

i nominate slayer for both...on their albums i thought it was random noise...then i saw them live and they did the solos note for note...i'm still scratching my head over what to make of that..d.m.

i prefer thorn myself but phil x is an amazing player...d.m.

the second t-ride album demos were very weird but pretty cool....d.m.

Hot take: British Steel kinda sucks. Zero amazing Rob vocals, boring drums and mostly elementary solos. Hot take indeed. I get where that's coming from, BS isn't the band that gave us SWOD and SC but I still love it. Yeah. To me, Priest is like the Scorpions, in that they both had their seventies r...

i had a dr660 lol...had an alesis hr16b before that...d.m.

reaper, slate drums, garritan personal orchestra...as for guitars? i mic and run a direct out for amp sims including but not limited to neural dsp soldano, amped roots etc...d.m. Amped Roots sounds really good. That company has several good ones. indeed as does neural...even the little 30 watt 200 ...

i didn't really understand slayer until i saw them live...same thing with motorhead...i think their albums sound like shit but live it's somehow...different...d.m.

red rain by peter gabriel...d.m.

preferably through my studio monitors...d.m.

had to be a serious or multiple strokes...my mom had 2 major ones that took the movement out of the right side of her body and left her in a wheelchair, i've taken care of her the last 15 years...d.m.

i wouldn't be able to identify them if someone played them for me...d.m.

ratt did it first...d.m.

i like jacksons but have a charvel, a bunch of ibanezes, a yamaha pacifica 12 string electric and a strat mutt with a one piece flame maple neck...love em all...never was a gibson fan as i started on 25.5" scale and the shorter scale just kinda messes with me these days...d.m.

was fretless seen as the next step in virtuosity at the time?
I remember “tears in heaven” & Phil Collins’ “wish it would rain down” had some fairly prominent fretless bass

yes...it was tony franklin from the firm...d.m.

ptolemy was the song that taught me how to get gnarly pinch harmonics so i'm in his debt for that...d.m.

Wondering how much music is going to be discussed compared to posts like this taking up room in the sludgverse (and the 75%'s life)

i'm neither...i've been an independent since the early 90's...d.m.

I was always under the impression that Vandenberg played on the initial recording sessions and Vai took over for the album. but apparently that's not the case. I was excited to hear the 30th Anniversary album, which is pretty extensive, assuming the Vandenberg sessions would be there. nope. there a...

Sykes/Campbell? That never happened. You're right, my bad. For some reason, I thought there was some overlap, but I guess there was always only one guitarist in that weird period between Slide It In and David being like "Fuck it" and starting over. yes and no...the vast majority was sykes...

there are 2 advantages to a non floating floyd...1. you can use a d-tuna, 2. if you break a string the other strings don't go out of tune as it is resting against the body (all my floyds float)...d.m.

looking down to read the lyrics, on what i assume was a computer monitor, was a very nice touch...d.m.
