My mom wanted to go to Paisley Park. It was alright. They only had some of Prince's guitars and gear on display (and even less that I could photograph). Some of the stuff doesn't seem like his gear too.
I don't remember Prince ever using an Iceman or a Jet City.
Also they had this shit for 10k lol

And Burton a lead singer...

(I actually liked him on the albums, but here he's making Labrie sound good...)

I think that was easy for Burton to do live, no matter the singer. And that's coming from a huge FF fan lmao

Come on, WMI/Schecter..... could stash dope in the fret slot!

View attachment 148359

And the other schecter I got in recently had the Schecter Special- low string nut slot cut so low the string is bangin' off the first fret.

Schecter imports are always so close to getting an entire instrument right but just fall short somewhere.

So update on this one- sent it back and got a replacement. The replacement has no issues aside from a super creaky truss rod but it works so I'm keeping it.

As far as the other one with the badly cut nut, it had some raised burrs and even a cracked finish blister in the satin sprayed neck. Schecter was more than happy to replace that one for me, so I'm waiting to see what door #2 has behind it when it comes in.

The purple tolex Mesa cab is tight. I'd go if I was in the area, but I know the drill. It's been years, but Graceland was kinda' weird and kinda' money grubbing.

I randomly remembered I had a bunch of stems and multitracks in a folder somewhere. I went through looking for all the Marilyn Manson ones but stumbled upon some Machine Head ones I forgot I had and never listened to. Dear lord the guitar tone they had was great. I know people have said that for a while but I never paid Machine Head a whole lot of attention past a few songs and in the mix for some reason it doesn't sound anywhere near as good as isolated. I think this is the only time I've really ever dug a 5150 tone.

Not sure if sharting first thing in the morning is an indicator of "the worst part of your day is now over" or "buckle up, bitch".

I'd take it as a challenge of never trust a fart when you normally would trust a fart. Keeps you on your toes.

Which Machine Head album was it?

Like I tell my son, there is no safe fart

That's really the best policy. That said, I'm a gambling man.

Question for the vocalist in the audience.

Stamina. Particularly during normal ranged singing, talking about the stuff that just above speaking range and projection.

Heavy vocals, gutturals, falsetto and even head voice not really an issue. Pretty comfortable with false cord, using your mouth and singing from your diaphragm.

That stuff in the middle and down low where you're definitely using some of the throat just feels like absolute torture after not very long. Is it a warm up thing, a training thing?

 

[TedEH]

I'm not a vocal expert by any stretch, but I've found that any time stamina is a problem, for me it's usually because I'm breathing from the wrong place. Whenever I run out of steam, I catch myself breathing from the chest, which doesn't give you much to work with.
