THanks for the info guys. But I can't really get a good digitech pedal. I need one by dress rehersal this tuesday, and my music store pretty much cleaned up on digitech during black friday. All they have left are the small two switchl ones w/o the foot pedal. So to simplify this decision a...
I know this has debated across many forums, but I definitely need advice on this one. It's pod X3L vs Boss GT 10. I'm looking a for distortion+effect+amp sim pedal that can replicate the tones of JP and MR on their early albums (not an exact replica but something close enough to Awake, I&W, or...
on the day before my agile came i dreamed of opening the box, but instead of the interceptor I saw something else. It was a purple guitar with gold bridge hardware and a platinum whammy bar. the finish was royal purple with a full quilted purple and gold maple top. The tuners were godly because...
I'd go interceptor mainly because of the body. i've never been comfortable with V's. Even standing up i don't like them because to play solos I do the a petrucci-style put leg on top of amplifier. Plus the neck thru realy makes a difference. I just got my interceptor yestaerday and I am LOVING...
I'm looking for a pedal that can digitally tune my guitar 1-2 steps lower. I did take a look at the boss shape shifter, but people say that it wont work if you put it in front of your amp. I only have a combo, so without a seperate head and cab i cant use the boss. Some other options like th the...
Interesting. I just thought it was a little bit unfocused, even for Opeth. I'm not sure their new sound is bad because I like Blackwater as much as Ghost Reveries.
My favorite is definetely Russell Allen because he has so much range and power. He can sing like Jon Anderson and then in the blink of an eye he can go into "rampaging-kill mode" without losing any pitch or defenition or volume. I'm not a big fan of screaming, but Russell has his onw unique way...
Sang you couldn't be further fmo the truth. I honestly dislike people who like what they call "everything". You kinow I once meet a guy who hd a rush T Shirt and a tattoo of them on his arm. O told him 2112 was my favorite song, and he had no fuckin idea what I was talkin about! He's never heard...
This dude gets it! Prog is also about being mature, different, and epic in nature. Prog is very ambitious both musically and lyrically. It's not as cheesy as power metal even though a lot of the themes are similar
This is quite true. My uncle even has a bootleg collection of Lane's concerts. trust me when Indians get attached to something they rarely every let go. He did a few improvisational jams that me uncle says were also really inspiring. A lot of people know more about the jams than Hellborg.
Yea I know, but it's not the screaming that gets me. I actually do like it, but it's just that my cousin used to live in my neighborhood, and from when I was 6 years old to 10 years he would always bring the same black boom box to my house every time he visited. It had this sort of metal casing...
LOL Very funny. No i only listen to the bands that I like, and the bands that I like I'm obsessed to DEATH with. I just have very high standards. Anyway I know all the songs, albums, band member names, song lengths, and "band biographies" of: Symphony X :hbang: Dream Theater :hbang...
Thanks for the stuff. Any 20 min+ songs? You guys could recommend. And yes i have heard Mastodons new album. It's quite good, not prog, but good nonetheless.
Can anyone give a prog metal band that writes really long songs? I already know (and love) Dream Theater Opeth IQ Symphony X Even though they aren't metal I also like: King Crimson Yes Old Genesis Poccul Harrum I'm really looking for something in an 'old Symphony X'...
