This is the most "back in my day," narrow-minded thing I've read in a while.
The guitar is a device meant for creative expression. You can make it sound like literally anything you want, and that's valid, as long as it helps you express what you intend to express. If the best way to get across your intention is to put the goddamn thing in an oven and record the sound of wood burning and strings popping, that's valid. Expensive, but still valid.

Guys like Joe think of the guitar as a puzzle that can only be solved through the playing of Hendrix riffs.

I'm sorry, but if you play the guitar and sounds I don't care for come out of it, you are Doing It Wrong. :colbert:

hexwren posted:

If memory serves, their guitarist played a guitar with three strings (possibly tuned to a power chord?) and the bassist had a bass with one string.

I still kind of want a bass vi even though I can't justify it at all

Instruments

Ballew and Dederer/McKeag play a basitar and guitbass, which are regular, six-string guitars with special modifications: Ballew's instrument has two bass strings (with which he plays bass parts), and Dederer/McKeag's instrument has three guitar strings (used to play guitar parts). The original idea came from Morphine frontman Mark Sandman, with whom Ballew had previously worked.

Guitars modified in this way use heavy-gauge strings for a heavier sound and are normally tuned in Drop D, though the Presidents play half a step lower in C#. For a basitar, the strings are placed in the D and B positions. Ballew uses a .60 gauge string tuned to C# and a .36 tuned to G#.[citation needed] On a guitbass, the strings are placed in the A, D, and G positions. .54 gauge tuned to C#, .42 to G#, and a .32 gauge tuned to C#.[citation needed]

Finn's drum kit is currently supplied by Slingerland; his cymbals are a variety of "really good" Sabians including two 13" El Sabor splashes as his main "crash" cymbals, 14" Hi hats and a 20" Ride on his left side.




I think it's nice that they got the "really good" Sabians. :3:

Obviously. Obviously.

The whiskey itself is a blend of bourbons, ryes and other whiskeys that end up in black brandy barrels during its final stages. From there, a proprietary subwoofer amplifies low notes in the band's recordings to apparently "shape" the flavor.

"We are obviously not just slapping a Metallica label on a pre-existing mediocre whiskey," the band said in the statement, citing "several years of work" on "every detail" of the spirit.



See, they throw all their spare booze in black barrels -- that didn't exist before.
