And you guys wasted all that money on those big fancy amps......

As many have said, it's got more to do with being able to put the tools at hand to use. Guys that know how to build a mix properly can get the job done with just about anything. The thing is that you have to be able to see or hear the larger picture. The guitar doesn't sound that great to me but it WORKS in the context of the mix.

are you saying that putting on leather pants every time you want to play your guitar at home isn't the norm?

Yeah, in my place we use to play home naked, so leather pants look wrong for me

I'm not sure if Ola is on MG, but, I have to be honest, I've never liked any of the tones in his videos

I think that MG still sounds like shit

Edit: Just realised I'm on SS.org. I need to lay off the grog.

You know who else used an MG? Varg, on Filosofem.

You DO know the MG wasn't released until a decade after Filosofem was recorded, right?

Well whatever shitty Marshall practice amp was out at the time. Is there really that much difference?

The Valvestates (their practice amp at the time) were actually very good sounding.

And according to Varg himself:

On "Filosofem" I didn't use a guitar amplifier at all, but instead used only the amplifier on my brother's stereo (that of course was not intended for that use) and some old fuzz pedals.
