I think they’re having a bit of fun with an led but if that was one of the 6L6s it would indicate that the tube is getting runaway current/overbiased and is extremely not happy.

In that position it’s one of the preamp valves, and assuming they’re not having a laugh I’d have guessed that it’s lost vacuum from how cloudy it looks.

yea and you'll notice it doesn't have the usual writing on it for an ECC83/12AX7. I swear there's some product that's transistor based but plugs into the dual-triode sockets and it might be this?

At first he's hitting the lars fills that don't make sense and its funny but before long he's hit the groove and it sounds like when lars is kicking rear end

It lasted for like a day. He just got dunked on and tried to play the puppet master card and was either banned or left. He got into some hilarious non-relationship with an acquaintance of some goon that ended in nobody having sex and a failed run for mayor of Austin.

From his overall vibe I always assumed he was a store-brand Steve Vai type who could play a million notes but was deeply embarassing on every level. I did not see cargo-cult white blues coming.

What the actual gently caress?

That's not even an actual song in any way. It's just the same 10 second long basic pentatonic lick sloppily played over and over without any variation, chord progression, dynamics, anything at all, while mumbling something about how gangsta his neighborhood is. FOR 4 MINUTES STRAIGHT! I would have thought it was a parody song if the youtube account didn't also have lots of other Romeo Rose videos.

(According to the other videos on his account, he can definitely be a noodle boy, and there are clips of him (also sloppily) playing Van Halen and Randy Rhodes solos).

Romeo Rose has been terminally online for years. I remember him getting run off Harmony Central at least a decade ago for constant egomaniacal thread making GBS threads. He wasn't any more entertaining back then but the race baiting thing is fairly new and came out during his Lonely In Austin dating ads phase I think. He's always been a useless oval office though.

He paid like $3500 or something as I recall but the luthier somehow let him take possession of it before fully paying it off and guess what happened lol.

This is hilarious. It doesn’t totally work but it’s incredibly hard to capture that Meshuggah vibe outside of their music.

It’s some of the grooviest music around. The last album was great and really stripped down if you want to check them out. They recorded it all in the same room.

The Meshuggah sound is kick drum locked in with the guitar while the snare plays offbeats so if the guitars aren't playing Meshuggah-like riffs it's not going to work.

That last album (Violent sleep of reason) seems like a giant troll towards all their terrible imitators. Sure, Meshuggah pioneered the recording techniques all the lovely djent bands use, with software guitar sound and preprogrammed drums, but this album was like "but we can still perform and record this poo poo live with tube amps and real drums, because we're awesome".

I've seen them live at least three or four times. While they are incredibly technical in their polyrhythmic sound, and many of the guitar riffs are mostly about picking a single deeeeeeep note in time with the bass drum runs, they are also incredibly groovy and organic. I could watch videos of Haake playing for hours. He's like Dave Lombaro, plays advanced metal and is so on time you could use him to calibrate your metronome, but still plays organic and punchy like a punk rock drummer.

Also because Thordendal doesn't drink anymore, so he can afford to buy the aforementioned expensive-as-heck amps.
