    Favorite album cover art

    Ever see those first edition dungeon and dragons rule books? The album art looks inspired by it. Except that hot chick on the fourth cover. That is playboy material.

    Cheap, good bass for metal?

    Find a used Peavey Fury or a Jackson. Something with active pick ups will be ideal for metal.

    is chuck schuldiner even that good?

    He certainly improved greatly over the course of his career. I am not a death metal fan in the least, but his stuff at the end was very good. His other band, blanking on the name, was more of my cup of tea.

    some recent thoughts of mine

    Organization and perspective are key to any creative project. While having a system may seem uptight or like work, good production is a lot of work. Reamping is a hot with folks, but I prefer to work to find a sound before rolling. In some cases, I print fx. I am not saying reamping is bad, but...

    Maxon OD808X Overdrive Extreme?

    It is competition for mxr custom modified od and visual sounds open road. These depart from the traditional mid range thump of the classic ts and offer some more gain. This maxon, along with the mxr and visual are fine pedals. They offer flexibility. Guitarists get caught up listening with their...

    What is the *ultimate* option for recording real valve amps at low volumes?

    Everything is a trade off. You want hi octane tone at low volumes? Either you iso cab, get a low wattage amp, use an attenuator (sacrifice tone for volume) or explore direct recording of some kind. You cannot have a hot girlfriend with low wages.

    What is the *ultimate* option for recording real valve amps at low volumes?

    I have no idea how mic your cabs, but I close mic for metal so room tone is not an issue. Therefore, the iso cab serves to isolate the volume. How does it sound boxy?

    I am not saying there was not discrimination, but were you literally spit on? No, I do no think so. It is a exaggeration.

    The best way of recording clean guitar sounds

    How difficult is the part? If the amp and pedals sounds best, do a take that way. Then do a clean amp take, if that does not kill they player's vibe. Recording should be about getting a good performance not the engineer's convenience.

    _____06 JUNE 1944______

    There are a lot of myths about Vietnam vets. Indeed their efforts were under appreciated. However, the war was not the noblest of causes. As a result, vn vets have been left in a tough place emotionally. There was no victory. Rather a slow defeat. As far as being spit on, I sense this is an...

    Metal solos for not-so-metal songs

    Those were good. I liked the first one as it was a cool twist. Love to hear what you could do with the Foo Fighters or Offspring. BTW, any chance Hammett was a influence?
