Re: Did you go to the Van Halen 3 tour?

That story reminds me of when VH went on Stern to announce the new singer and some woman called in and said that she had met Gary after an Extreme show and intimated they had fucked. I’m sure it was a plant from management to try to subvert the impression that the new fruity prancing VH singer was ...

Re: Did you go to the Van Halen 3 tour?

I did. It was the only time they ever toured Australia (that one-off festival to promote some biker film doesn't count) so that was my only chance to see them. They really couldn't give a fuck about touring the world, those guys.

Re: Billy Corgan pissed off at people: "Most people don't even recognize my contributions as a guitar player"

Oh yeah, I interviewed Corgan years ago for a guitar mag and I figured I’d let him talk about guitar stuff, and I cited a few examples of things I thought were innovative. It was a great chat, very positive good-mood Billy. I understand not everybody gets THAT Billy.

Re: Geoff Tate Making Operation Mindcrime III

Maybe he'll have the same band that played on OM2 play on OM3. And the comment "it's following the exploits of Dr. X and Nikki and Sister Mary, and picks up at a particular point in their story". Sister Mary died in OM1 and is a ghost in OM2. Dr X, which was Dio, was killed by Niki in the...

Re: Ozzy Osbourne’s “Live & Loud” - my review

Ozzy's mic technique here is impeccable. Somehow, even though he's running around like a nutter all night and moving the mic away from his face constantly, his vocal performance here sounds really consistent. It's almost like it was recorded later. Standing still in a studio.

Re: Are you prejudiced against Trump/MAGA people?

Yes. My perception of the world is utterly incompatible with this kind of wanton buffoonery. The USA has taken such a critical hit in terms of its standing in the world for even letting that guy get a foot in the door of politics. All he's done his entire life is show us he is unethical, unsympathet...

Re: Dump Shithole

If an Australian believes something batshit-crazy, even they themselves are aware that it's just an opinion and we can all tell each other we're full of shit and move on with our lives Does the name Pauline Hanson ring any bells? Well having grown up with conservative parents, one of whom even vote...

Re: Dump Shithole

I just spent ten minutes or so on the Conservative subreddit. They just straight up don’t believe in any of it. No quid pro quo. No witness tampering. No malfeasance of any kind. They just straight up don’t fucking believe a word of it. They’re not embarrassed because they’re too stupid to be. I di...

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

Just picked this up from NAMM. Buddy Blaze 7-string prototype #1. Floyd Rose 7, DiMarzio Crunch Lab and LiquiFire pickups. The neck is pitched back slightly so you can pull up on the bar without requiring a big rout behind the bridge. The neck is very comfortable, not too thin, not too fat, and beau...
