    Live Show Etiquette

    What really annoys me these days are bands that don`t stay around to check out the other bands. Arrive just in time to chug half a beer and do your set, load your stuff and leave while shouting `goodluck` to the band that`s just about to start their set. Way to not get invited to play again if...

    Mesa Boogie coming back to the EU/UK

    Well, a shitload of money. But then again, in 2003 I bought my DR Tremoverb and paid €2500. It`s always been an expensive brand here in Europe. I would try and get a used one, they`re not that expensive...

    Back where we started?

    The first 7/8 years it was decent guitars (first a Squier strat and moved on to Ibanez S-series pretty quickly) and a shitload of digital multifx that was really attractive to me in the 90`s. (multiple zoom and boss pedals) Plugged that into a combo amp at the time. When i got my first real job...

    Metallica: 72 Seasons

    Tried to get through a few songs on Spotify, but it`s just to damn boring. The songs are (way) too long, riffs are ok, drums are not interesting, vocals are ok, solo`s are generic and sound lazy. I thought it would be at least somewhat better than Load, but it`s certainly not. Dissapointed...

    Metallica: 72 Seasons

    Vocals sound good, guitar tone is not really what I would want Metallica to sound like. Songs are decent, nothing I would buy for sure. They still produced a few good songs in the 90`s, but after Jason left there`s not much inspiration to really create a record that stands the test of time. To...

    Confused on boosting a high gain amp.. (Marshall DSL100HR)

    Also don`t forget about the cabinet and/or type of speakers you use. Makes a huge difference in how tight your sound is.

    Playing guitar standing instead of sitting

    The reason I picked up a guitar in the first place was seeing rockstars like Slash and James Hetfield. That`s what I wanted to be, so you have to play standing up. I just can`t imagine only sitting down playing a guitar and have always practiced playing standing. At first way down like my idols...

    Evertune bridge help...

    There is an evertune users group on facebook that also offers great support and help with troubleshooting. Might be the easiest way to figure out if something`s really wrong.

    Have you ever been disappointed in a band after you saw them live?

    I`ve been disappointed a few times by live performances from bands, but mostly because I expected something different. Mostly the bands played well, but you will never ever see me at a Tool show again, damn that`s boring. (like the last 2 albums btw, but I saw them before that) Parkway Drive...

    Economics of Touring Metal Bands

    All the more reason to do more planning yourself. Thirty years ago not knowing things was a valid excuse, nowadays with internet it`s just lack of effort i would say. (of course combined with some bad luck)

    Economics of Touring Metal Bands

    If I understand their story correctly they were touring last summer in Europe. To me it sounds like a lot of bad planning (they were TOLD hotels cost 60 euro a night, didn`t check or book beforehand apparantly) and a lot of bad luck. All the large metal bands were on tour here this summer...
