    New PRS Day

    I know what it feels to fall in love with PRS. I play my Custom 24s most of the time. If they did 8 and 7-strings, I'd probably play the brand exclusively :D P.S. Since this is useless without pics, here's one of my 2008 10 Top:

    IA Eklundh leaves Caparison guitars.

    You gotta be a reeeeal big fan of his to buy that. The looks are mediocre, price is quite steep and... who wants the combo of an Floyd + True Temperament? I like Floyds, but on an 8-string? And aren't TT frets like... kind of a compromise with very few upsides? I can appreciate it being a...

    Bands with names that are frustratingly inappropriate for their music

    Yeah, I actually knew where the name came from. But that makes it even more perplexing. Like how would you land on that? Even Merlin's Charm would've been better :D Or ANY. OTHER. NAME.

    Bands with names that are frustratingly inappropriate for their music

    Anaal Nathrak I would like to see the band meeting where they were thinking of a band name, and landed on that.

    Justin Chancellor rig rundown

    If I had this in 2007 I'd shit in my pants! Binged through it immediately.

    NBD - Against all odds, it isn't an Ibanez

    Every single Sterling I ever played was a steaming pile of turd... but I guess good specimens are possible! Love a real MM Stingray, though.

    Wintersun's Groundhog's Day Thread

    I think the artwork looks like some 8th grader's Photoshop work. But especially the Wintersun logo - wtf? This is what you end up with when you have to make everything yourself. You end up with a shitty mix and cringy artwork. Why couldn't Jari use like 5-10K of their crowdfunding money for a...

    How much should I pay for a second hand RG550?

    Honestly I wouldn't pay more than 400/450€. So much hassle and worn hardware can always be sketchy.

    Return to work push?

    My work is basically meetings and calls all day. I used to always work from the office - it was just the way it was. But ever since the start of the pandemic I haven't worked a day in the office. Every so often I will suit up and meet a client at a location, but 99% it is remote. I absolutely...

    Drum MIDI packs?

    Any recommendations for MIDI Drum packs for Superior Drummer? I want to bounce my ideas around with some new drum midi packs. I write stuff that is a mix of Metalcore/Djent/Deathcore, proggy stuff like Cynic or groovy metal like Breaking Benjamin. I adore the style of Breaking Benjamin and their...

    No, one thinks you might be Jari... ...it's confirmed you are.

    Wintersun's Groundhog's Day Thread

    Jesus motherfucking Christ. You can't be backing this guy. This is damn near confirmation that you're Jari. Anwyay - my point is that Jari's energy shouldn't be used for mixing at all. Production maybe, but not mixing. He clearly sucks at it.

    Wintersun's Groundhog's Day Thread

    It would've been cool to just drop the album today. Like "we're done with waiting, enjoy". That would've been the move. But holy shit is it cringeworthy that he decides to go for a new crowdfunding. Like, fucking seriously? I will always remember Nolly's Nail The Mix, talking about Devin's...

    LTD QC issues, incorrectly mounted Floyd Rose studs. Should I return?

    Aren't there Stainless frets on E-II guitars? That's so fucked up if LTD 1000s come with Stainless and E-II don't.

    Wintersun's Groundhog's Day Thread

    WINTERSUN ALBUM UPDATE - BIGGEST WINTERSUN NEWS TIME II = 100% DONE. Enough said. "This album has been the biggest challenge in my life and I'm still kinda surprised it is finally done." - Jari “The day finally came: TIME II is done!! Couldn’t be happier!” - Jukka "I thought this day would never...

    Jeff Loomis leaves Arch Enemy

    Right. Not saying him playing there isn't true, but would like some source to confirm this? I was always in the belief that Jeff recorded all the guitar on PoE.

    You mean Pat played on that record?

    Jeff Loomis leaves Arch Enemy

    Umm... didn't Loomis write all the songs except one song, which was co-written with Pat?

    Wintersun's Groundhog's Day Thread

    I'm sure it is the completion of the Wintersun HQ, i.e. the studio. So no new music, but a promise that now it is POSSIBLE to make some music. Which again... would be top class comedy! I'd be willing to bet on it.
