    T.V. shows you've been watching

    I've been obsessed with Fallout since I was a kid. I don't know how many times I've infiltrated the cathedral, slapped Frank Horrigan, unplugged the calculator or walked the Lonesome Road. I had trouble getting through the first two episodes though. I'll keep at it since I loved parts of it.

    How is Nolly playing this? (Make Total Destroy bass line)

    Dude is a master of everything. I forgot how unconventional some off the riffs are. There's so many cool layers in that song that cut through more without the vocals. We were so close to getting an instrumental version of this album but a few snide posts about Spencer's vocals on Facebook ruined...

    New Schecter Models Megathread

    That's in middle pickup area. How does something like that pass the design stage : /

    Official Daemoness Guitars Thread

    "The proceeds will go toward finishing my new Daemoness, which has been handed over to Lee at @gmw_guitarworks for its finishing touches while Dylan is relocating the Daemoness HQ." That sounds like Kyle made Dylan send his incomplete build to someone else to be finished. A few people here...

    Vik Duality 8 string run *CLOSED RUN*

    If Vik is actually trying to hide under Envoy Guitars then he really should have used a design that wasn't instantly recognisable as Vik. I assume it's just a legal loophole rather than rebranding.

    The HAARP Machine Megathread

    It was so sad seeing that unfold. His cryptic post followed by the band having to assure fans it wasn't true and they are now very worried about him.

    The BTBAM megathread

    Playing guitar for BTBAM live sounds hell. What happens when you lose concentration for a second and play a bar of 5/8 instead of 7/8 during the interlude to the pre-solo after the second bridge. Whoever is filling in must be an incredible musician to carry and fulfilled those responsibilities...

    The HAARP Machine Megathread

    So what happened to the band that released your favourite album of 2012? I don't want to talk about them : /

    Bands with names that are frustratingly inappropriate for their music

    Eagles of Death Metal really is an inappropriate band name. I was so confused when I first listened to them. It's such a bizarre choice even with their conflicting origin stories for the name trying to explain it.

    Anybody wanna play bass for Fear Factory?

    For a band the size of Fear Factory it's unusual to see them opening auditions to the public. Music is a community where everyone is constantly networking. They could have a line of experienced pro's ready to fill that spot.

    What game are you playing?

    This brings back a lot of memories. Looks like they did a great job keeping the core look and feel of the game. At $30 I can't justify the price. If only they had mixed jedi knight 1 and 2 in as well.

    My Warhammer 40K Metal project

    I dropped a few more tracks if anyone is interested. People seem to really like this project which is a strange feeling. An industrial metal track inspired by Slipknot, Rammstein, Fear Factory, Mick Gordon and a ton of Nu-Metal bands. I wasn't expecting people to like this one cause it's so...

    Wes Hauch/Aaron Marshall "secret setup"

    ^NDSP will do everything but make a Hub plugin. I watched the video. It's cutting the nut slots. In all my time playing I've never picked up a factory guitar that didn't need the nut slots lowered. Which is a good thing because it leaves you the option to file them to your string gauge and...

    Movies you've been watching...

    Looking forward to seeing Dune Pt 2 this month. I didn't love Part 1 but it was a very good adaption for a film and great to finally have mature sci-fi again on the big screen. It looks to be doing well so hopefully Messiah is green lit and we get the ending to the story.

    Wintersun's Groundhog's Day Thread

    3,215 backers - €162,028 I did not see that happening and it's only been 48 hours. I would consider myself a big Wintersun fan but massively put off his from his behaviour the last 10+ years. Any other fans I know say the same but despite that he's still pulling in crazy pre-order numbers. It's...

    Marty Friedman alleges Guitar World misrepresented his statement that 'I hope the traditional guitar solo dies a slow and painful death'

    I don't know how this ran for so long. Guitar World posted it and an hour later Marty disputed it on Facebook. How did it take the guitar media/community 12 days to find out. Also isn't that quote a joke made by Tim Henson a few years ago. No wonder Marty is baffled by it.

    Wintersun's Groundhog's Day Thread

    After indigegogo's fees and taxes you can make a guess how much Nuclear Blast then took for the campaign. Since they are still on Nuclear Blast they are going to need to make the same amount again this time. Even then that might not be enough. Music sales have dropped considerably since 2017...

    New Necrophagist... no, not really but so close

    Transcribing conventional guitar yes. Transcribing something not written with a guitar no. It's probably the most difficult thing you can do on guitar because it creates impossible playing positions, string/fret jumps and fingering. You then have the dilemma of trying to maintain the original...

    New Necrophagist... no, not really but so close

    Kevin dropped a playthrough video. I'm just going to think of this as Necrophagist album 3 where Hannes kept then band going. Maybe I've just listened to so many of Kevin's videos but first time I heard this I thought the playing(attack and muting) sounded like him. No surprise he was the man...

    Website is super slow loading

    I got the biggest nostalgia hit from opening a thread and it taking a minute to load. Flashbacks of MySpace, 2000-2010 metal forums, Wintersun announcing Time, Newgrounds etc That really was a golden era of the net where everyone could nerd out in a specific message board.
