The weird thing about the "so and so musician is a is replacement" theories is it makes kinda sense for Paul mcCartney or early 2000s avril lavigne at the height of her fame that the industry has someone would want to milk as a cash cow as long as possible. But for andrew WK it requires a big over estimation of how much money there is in playing dumb party metal and living in a tour van.

The only time I’ve ever actually been offended by a performers tone to the point of it ruining the show was some band playing single coil Jazzmasters into Mesa boogie rectifiers with the presence cranked at a level that annihilated ears like an ice pick aimed straight at 10k hz Also Enter Shakari but Enter Shakari are just poo poo on every level so the tone wasn’t the most egregious thing. massive spider fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Oct 27, 2017 |

s.i.r.e. posted:Because it's like the laziest metal coupled with the laziest dubstep. It's just noise that doesn't go anywhere, instead rolling around in a pile of poo poo composed of power chords and rhythmic chugs on the open E string (or whatever the lowest string was tuned to). The guitar and drum parts are a djent cliché and I wouldn't be surprised if it was revealed that they used that program that automates Djent breakdowns. its not the right tempo for dubstep and it doesent use the right textures, structure or instrumentation either. neither with djent. I'd say its closer to industrial metal on 8 string guitars. its super corny and it only has one gear but it works for punching demons and I couldnt say its lazy

I've got tonnes of earplugs in search for the ones that affect th experience least (my ears can't fit the custom ones for some reason). Proguard make the best I've found so far,in that they don't sound like they're doing much unless you take them out and hear the difference. Flare titanium are best at just straight up obliterating incoming sound but not in the most musical way.

To paraphrase David Byrne playing out of time is fine so long as the whole band is playing out of time together. It helps if you assume the drummer is always right (even when he’s completely loving not).

field balm posted:The synth poo poo is to do with laptops and synths being full range sound sources. Ie a guitar is a mids instrument no matter what. If the synth patch you use for sound check is a trebly lead, then the next one (that you didnt soundcheck) is a bass, the sound guy is gonna have you eq'd all wrong. If you have a soundcard with multiple outs or multiple snyths it might be a good idea to send all your poo poo to different outputs. i.e one line for bass and one output for pads etc.

The "I like Tool but Tool fans suck" meme is dumb as heck especially when the band themselves contributes to it and shittalk their fans. Yeah your fans may be dumb stinky pseudointellectual greebos but you should still love your dumb stinky greebo fans. Just accept it, don't go I'm not one of those Tool fans who appreciates the music wrong" accept in your heart there is some part of you that is a dumb stinky greebo and embrace it. It reminds me kinda of the "Primus sucks!" meme Primus fans do except that's the inverse- an ironic display of comraderie in their awful music taste.

GuItar forums are always full of very predictable demographics and as such full of very predictable bullshit. TGPs explicit “no politics” rule is the only reason i can tolerate it and even then it still leaks throug sometimes.

No one does. Its all super dependant on volume, genre and the gear the other band members are using. Stuff that sounds great at bedroom often sounds like complete poo poo live and vice versa. Its worth considering that there is no such thing as 'good tone' in a vacuum. There are times when a 'poo poo tone' might be exactly what the song calls for, in my experience you know you've found the right tone when you play that particular part of the song and your gut goes "yes, that is exactly what that particular part needed". I spent a while time playing in a noise rocky art punk band with a barking, midrangey plexi type tone because thats what "good tone" typically means to guitar nerds. When I switched to a buzzy metal pedal style tone the band sounded way more like that kind of music "should" sound though. Gear and tone matters, but what you're trying to capture with it in the big picture of making music is 'feel' or 'attitude' or 'mood' and the tone is just an aspect of that. Thats something that needs to be discovered situationally and from the gut. I say, buy whatever stupid piece of crap you wanna buy, write some music with it, sell it. Keep doing that as long as you're not too poor. as long as youre actually making music with it who gives a poo poo what your method is. just dont try to plan it out too much. massive spider fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Jul 10, 2018 |

steel Panther just come off as the tedious kind of ironic misogyny where the depth of the joke is “lol look how gross we are come on it’s just a joke lighten up jeez”. It’s not smart enough with its characters to be Spinal Tap and the strength of their music falls apart without the gimmick too. I think it’s intetesting to compare them directly to The Darkness since they both have similar shticks as tounge in cheek retro hard rock bands, but illustrates well the difference between “being camp” and “being a gimmick band”. The Darkness are ridiculous but sincere, SP are too detached, ironic and downright mean spirited to achieve campiness. massive spider fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Jul 13, 2018 |

The other thing is that cabinet power amp and speaker sound matters a lot and the first time you use a metal zone you're probably using it into a Line 6 Spider to play Nirvana covers. And by the time youve got a better amp you've ditched the metal zone. The goal of a good metal tone is generally to get crushing focused lows and that requires a lot of effort from the power section but the actual preamp could be SS clipping who cares. Most of those guys sounded like the were getting usable tones except the headless guitar guy who clearly has questionable taste in several aspects. massive spider fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Oct 8, 2018 |

Custom molded ones are reportedly the best but when I tried to get them fitted I was told I have weird ears. I like the ones with the vented design best (eggz) becasue you get less bass occlusion and also they dont stick out of your ears like the christmas tree design.

Played in a venue in the northern arse end of england, as we pulled up to the venue we realised it was a combination bar/restaurant/pizza place. The live in owner greeted us and seemed friendly enough. We were supposed to staying at the venue but after being shown to our rooms they were in such a dank, mildew-ey state that half the band elected to get a hotel room, the other half sleep on the floor in the bar itself rather than dank unwashed mildey beds. After a few drinks the venue owner became the kind of drunk who loses focus in his eyes and gets a slightly intimidating, nasty edge. The barmaid quit that night in tears after being berated by him "why is he always like this every weekend?!" was the phrase I heard. We play in the basement, 4 or so people show up, theres an altercation between the keyboard player and the owner after he realises he's been filming us with the cameras in the venue without telling us in advance. (I dont care personally but whatever) I got out after the gig, try to get back in only to find the doors are locked. I call up the bass player, and apparently I'm not 'allowed' back in by the venue owner. 'This is my house! I don't just let anyone into my house, would you let me into your house? I could be anyone you know? I could stab you while you sleep! GooD NIGHT!" was the rant I heard relayed to me after. I get back first thing in the morning (I stayed in the hotel room) all our gear is piled up at the door for a quick load into the van and exit. According to the bassist and drummer when they woke up in the night the venue owner had elected to sleep on the bar room floor with them. massive spider fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Feb 7, 2019 |
