    Why are you happy right now?

    Just completed a fairly intensive course on learning music theory that I've been plugging away at for about a month now. Got a 100% score on my first attempt at the final quiz (which was 50 questions).

    WTB Performance Guitar (S.M.I. Inc.) Builds

    DESCRIPTION: I am currently looking to add something new to my arsenal; and I was wondering if anyone here on the forum had any builds from Performance Guitar out of Hollywood, California that they would consider selling. (Corsair, Super Strat, etc.) As of lately, I have been genuinely curious...

    Ah... So, they are pretty much turning into Gollum over the guitar.

    Chuck Schuldiner's Personal Green Custom Shop Stealth Up for Bid

    So, what exactly are the diehard fans upset about with the auction? Is it the fact that they themselves will never own the instrument? Or that the instrument will be shuttered behind bulletproof glass in someone’s castle, never to be seen again from 2024 onwards? Or are they upset that a guy...

    The BTBAM megathread

    What I was getting at is that the narrative has become so overly complicated that it seems genuinely improbable; and the narrative has changed so many times at this point that it is bullshit. That is the simplest explanation. It's all bullshit.

    The BTBAM megathread

    That's just too much. Occam's Razor, my dudes. The simplest explanation is always the best, the most preferable, or (in this case) the most probable.

    The BTBAM megathread

    Exactly. That is quite the flip of the narrative. "Oh yeah, I had an encounter with this fictional woman who I've never met and doesn't exist. Actually, wait, let me backpedal. It's a man, potentially a deranged fan of my band, who I've potentially never met, and he is potentially pretending to...

    Inferno Fest 2024 - ICS Vortex, Tjodalv and Mustis playing one song with Dimmu LOLZ

    Ah, yes. A writer who was a devout Roman Catholic and whose work was blatantly influenced by Catholicism (while his Lord of the Rings series also contained numerous themes from Christian theology) inspiring bands who are so over-the-top explicitly anti-Christian or anti-religious to the point...

    Has streaming ruined "the album"?

    Fixed. Or alternatively, consumers ruined the industry.

    Has streaming ruined "the album"?

    > 2004: "the ability to conveniently purchase single, individual songs off iTunes has ruined the album format!" > 2024: "the ability to conveniently stream any songs that have been licensed to music streaming platforms has ruined the album format!" Glad to see that some topics never change...

    Facelift: Schecter Custom Shop S-7

    As someone familiar with Patrick Nagel's artwork from the late 1970s up to his death in the early 1980s, I absolutely respect this guitar. I'd never own one of the B.C. Rich Nagel guitars or Jackson Nagel guitars personally, but I'll always stop and admire for a while whenever I come across an...

    Korean Ormsby’s are better than the customs??

    Absolutely. Humans will do anything to rationalize away the pangs of cognitive dissonance that arise from spending a large allocation of resources, especially financial resources (money), even if it means also rationalizing away the fact that they got screwed over on the quality of a...
