A band that just finished a legal battle against their former lead singer and his wife who formerly managed the band is likely to be cash poor.

I doubt i'd throw in on just to listen to it, but he seems like he can, ya know...play a bit. Local "alternative" radio played the gently caress out of that when it first came out. I basically wanted to die. And I actually had friends suggesting that I might LIKE it. I was about ready to bludgeon them. Squirrel Burger posted:I was gonna mention Harpguitars, but then again, I think they're pretty rad and just get a bad rap from being used primarily in wanky acoustic circles. Amazing, it sounds...like a song? Interesting. Ferrous Wheel posted:This is math rock in a tiny dollhouse with a drummer who plays a small kit so I dunno what the thread's going to think but I like it. See, I wouldn't have guessed this was math rock at all. It's got a groove. It's not dibidibidibibbididdillibididity in 17/8 time. It sounds, again, like a song. Battles I like, and other weird instrumental stuff like Russian Circles, but when it comes to stuff like Hella and Lightning Bolt I just can't parse what's going on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOgq2fPEO4k Is this math? I saw them live once, and by the end of the show the drummer's knee was bleeding profusely because he mangled it on the stack of broken cymbals he had slung over his kit somehow. Also, he's a pretty good drummer.  This too because the "painting job alone costed him $250" Frozen Pizza Party fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Apr 29, 2014 |

Did Mustaine finding Jesus make his music noticeably worse, or was it pretty much at rock bottom by that point anyway? Or did I make up the thing about him finding Jesus?

It rules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4kVOJfZg_E This is from his first solo album. Probably my favorite song, like, of any song. The rest of the stuff on the album is much more mathy, especially the song "Toll Road", which is really strange and catchy at the same time. [edit] That song "Trust" that Megadeth put out in the 90's wasn't total poo poo, iirc the album was pretty okay too. BUSH 2112 fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Apr 30, 2014 |

I remember reading an interview with him in Guitar World in the 1990s where he talked about how on their one album he did poo poo like using a tuner to make sure he was bending every note exactly right and that everything was perfectly in time with no tiny fuckups, which back then must have made him a giant loving pill to work with.Irradiation posted:Dave found Alex Jones and is an insane conspiracy theorist/evangelist now. Haha, the loving singer for Korn (they still exist somehow) is an infowars/Alex Jones crazy who believes that the UN is using Agenda 21 to take over the world. Pretty sure that Skrillex dude is too.

I think it was on Countdown to Extinction, and they used strobe tuners to make sure the bends were in tune.

the guitarist in my group switched over to using my nashville power tele for our rock disco-type stuff if you haven't seen a nashville power tele they are worth checking out. i swapped the pickups, bridge and saddle on mine immediately after buying it through some shady craigslist deal. pretty sure the dude was a traveling junkie from the cleanup job it needed. turned out to be an anniversary model from the 90s, though

Haha, with people like this I just show them on Mouser how easily it is to find 220pf (.0022uf) give hundreds of results, in any material you want. They are just passive components people are dumb.

Yeah, it's Patitucci on one of the Chick Corea Elektric Band tours in the '80s (that's Chick on keytar over there on the right at the beginning of the gif). I only know all this info because some other goon tracked down the video it came from, although I don't have the link to it anymore.
