    Fake Shredders

    No absolutely not. I think to each their own. But I can't stand the hypocrisy involved with people who HAVE done so and are now pointing fingers and acting all high and mighty when other players' popularity has passed them by. You are absolutely allowed to be insulted. The last paragraph...

    Fake Shredders

    My language was no stronger than what you said about Jason Richardson, so no reason to act all triggered. You started projecting this whole issue on your own situation, totally ignoring the issue as a whole. Has nothing at all to do with elitism. None of it was an attack on you as a person or...

    Fake Shredders

    Me too, but an entire cult of 'nail the mix' disciples and modern 'mixing gurus' will never let that happen, because these days their 'vision and sound' matters too (if not more). Of course in that scene you have the real mixers who have real skill and 'unskilled preset users', too. Being a...

    Fake Shredders

    It won't because it would mean that all metal will go back to sounding like it did in the 1980's, when almost everything had to be performed for real and also had to be mixed that way.

    The HAARP Machine Megathread

    I was at the Euroblast show and while the vocals were horrendous there was way more wrong with the entire performance than that. Not a single of the musicians locked in with each other. Kevin seemed to play ok, but the other guitarist rushed the entire show and the guitars never ever were tight...

    Fake Shredders

    That message from Miles made my stomach churn. The guy is a goddamn hypocrite since the sole reason he has a 'career' at all is his collaboration with THE main culprit of all this nonsense. He himself has even done this edit nonsense. Fuck that guy. And he singles out a guy who, while still an...

    New fallujah not good?!!!

    From reading his post I think not. He's been out of the band for almost a year, so I think they maybe hadn't even started writing yet. On his Facebook he said he loves the new album.

    Daniel Griffin?

    I mean....obviously this is a playback video since the guitar isn't plugged in, he's in a park. On top of that his guitar is in standard tuning, the first note he frets is a G (fret 10) but the music is obviously playing a F# (fret 9). So it's not even a flawless playback video. Other than that...

    New Revocation!!

    Prordered, received my copy a week ago. To be honest - I'm disappointed. It just sounds like Revocation trying to play Artificial Brain stuff. Less thrash, more by the numbers death metal. Dave's playing is of course phenomenal as always, but I can't get into the album at all. So far 3 of the 4...

    Has anyone heard of/ purchased from this site?

    Yes. Stay away from that site. No direct experience with them but talked to a friend on another forum who said he ordered a guitar there and he received a really shoddy copy with a missing fret (I think he said Indonesian) and upon wanting to return it was told he couldn't because the site...

    How important is looks (in a guitar)?

    Taste plays a high part. A friend of mine thinks the old Steinbergers that look like a cigar box and Klein guitars are the most beautiful instruments ever made. For my taste I have never seen anything more hideous than a Klein. Even Teuffel guitars though ugly in my eyes don't make me as...

    How important is looks (in a guitar)?

    I guess it's like when you're in a bar and see a beautiful [insert gender of choice]. We can all pretend looks don't matter, but they do. Same with cars and guitars for me. Both have to inspire me to drive/play them.

    Alkaloid - The Malkuth Grimoire (Prog Metal)

    I think you're right. It is a very weird album, but I love it to pieces. Hasn't left my car stereo since I got it and I listen to it every single day. I did dabble in the new At The Gates, Amorphis, Ihsahn, Slugdge records but none of them grabbed me. Guess I'm still not done with this one.

    Alkaloid - The Malkuth Grimoire (Prog Metal)

    I checked the video. Pretty cool though I'd say it sounds more like 70% right. The solo being in free time that's still good. On my headphones I still hear some big differences between the parts. Even in this Cephalopods video, though it's pretty good, I wouldn't say I'm blown away. His bends...

    Very cool. Also nice that Danny commented. What a guy!

    Alkaloid - The Malkuth Grimoire (Prog Metal)

    Yeah it's fun! Just want to make sure all's cool. Yes, Hannes albums are a different discussion. I for one loathe the first one and absolutely adore the second one. And I love the slower songs on his albums, though I'm not in love with his lyrics most of the time. Of course there is a...

    Alkaloid - The Malkuth Grimoire (Prog Metal)

    So funny, but I couldn't disagree with you more. Which is fine. How you can say As Decreed is too long where it only has killer parts but then rave on Cephalopods where literally nothing happens for the first 4 minutes en 2 minutes in the middle is beyond me. I think I'm more in line with this...

    Alkaloid - The Malkuth Grimoire (Prog Metal)

    Listened to the album all weekend except when I listen to the new Ihsahn which I don't like a lot so far and again all day today. It's safe to say Rivers of Nihil, my previous favorite album so far this year has been relegated to second place. Honestly not even afraid I'm hyping this up too...
