LOL good to see you put in the effort mate. 9am is pretty damn early

Haha it's exam period so I sleep at 6am and wake at 4pm... yeah it's messed up. But definitely will wake at 9am on Friday! Just wondering if we there will be periphery posters to buy? Will there be an opportunity to get stuff signed/take photos?

Sound like the biggest tool but I'm pretty excited!

So apparently Periphery are using 8 strings now according to Wikipedia!

There are several variants of this instrument, one probably originating from Russia along with the seven string guitar variant in the 19th century. The eight string guitar has recently begun to gain popularity, notably among jazz artists such as Charlie Hunter, The Special Purpose, Terje Rypdal and Richard Scott, and metal artists such as Meshuggah, Mariachi Terror, Ad Ruinas, Stations, Suicide Silence, Ihsahn, The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, After The Burial, and Gwar. More bands such as Periphery, Instinct for Rank, The Paradoxical Spiral and Animals as Leaders aimed to achieve more audio span and ambiance within metal and experimental genres by utilizing the additional strings by using a combination of octave E and top A throughout.

IIRC, Misha used an 8 string guitar on the Icarus Lives video solo. At least it looked like one.

Check da link-
I know Misha has played and experimented with 8 string guitars before. Is there any upcoming Periphery material to feature 8 string guitars? | Formspring

I missed Periphery when they came down with Scale the Summit (even though they ended up playing a house show about 30 minutes away from me...) so I MUST make this one.

Houston/Boston date! You must!

Axe FX II?

 

[DLG]

awesome news! Glad Textures is coming to the U.S. with Daniel. I saw him live with Cilice and all I can say is the rest of the singers on the tour are going to have a really hard time following him. Dude is out of this world.
