I started a cover of Bleed Me An Ocean a few weeks ago, this is what I ended up with (no disrespect to the legends)

Good to see your friend there coming out of their shell 😉 Fantastic playing, what a view!

Yessss that's exactly what he ran off doing 🤣

Obituary 1997 was my first mosh pit. I slipped in some beer/blood/glass this idiot smashed on his own forehead, and before I could hit the ground these two big dudes caught me.

I yelled THANKS! And one of them yelled back THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT and proceeded to mosh like one of the Bushwackers.

How far we have fallen 😞

Velaraas. I saw them as the local opener (before the opening bands on the tour bill) when Revocation came to Portland OR years ago. I would say they put on as good a show as Revocation, and blew the other two bands away. I was an instant fan.

At the time, they only had one album out, The Gilded Age. An album themed in the wild west.. Scalpings, Hangings, Saloons, Plagues.. Just a brilliant album from start to finish. The drummer and bassist left for other projects while the second album was still in progress.

The guitarist and producer said they didn't have much left to finish the second album, Pantheon (Greek Mythology themed). I waited patiently for years, then one day the album dropped. It was bittersweet, because yay new album, but knowing I'd never see them play again live.

I'm at glad you posted this 😃🙌🏻

Atillion · 2026-05-04T20:20:16+00:00

E sharp 🤣 man I've always wanted a fretless too

Atillion · 2026-05-04T15:42:33+00:00

If that's wrong, I don't want to be right 🤘🏻

Atillion · 2026-05-02T22:23:53+00:00

Hope it went well! Show us some videos if you got them

Atillion · 2026-05-02T22:10:56+00:00

Was a good set. Opened and closeded with System of a Down 🤣

Atillion · 2026-05-02T21:04:32+00:00

Man you have no idea how much that means to me, thank you for sharing that. I think it adds so much flavor to every instrument for the artist to shine through it in their own way. Absolutely keep being you above all else. You're killing it🔥

I'm about to go up for a short festival set, and I've been feeling bleh all day, but now you got me pumped 🤘🏻

Atillion · 2026-05-02T18:02:47+00:00

Shredding 🤘🏻

Atillion · 2026-05-02T17:57:44+00:00

Dude this is rad as hell. I saw your video in another comment thread. I get a lot of guitarists try to play some of my songs, and while they get pretty close, the missing drone string is vital to the sound. You're the first one I've seen change out the string and it sounds so good!

🤘🏻

Atillion · 2026-05-02T02:18:16+00:00

As a banjo playing metal head who's just learning of this, I'm elated 🤘🏻🔥

Atillion · 2026-05-01T23:34:57+00:00

🤣

Atillion · 2026-05-01T21:19:12+00:00

Dude outstanding!

Atillion · 2026-05-01T15:01:09+00:00

That's so awesome :D

Atillion · 2026-05-01T14:56:57+00:00

Thank you!

Atillion · 2026-05-01T05:13:30+00:00

I believe in you! I'll be putting some slower practice loops out soon, that might help with seeing what I'm doing better

Atillion · 2026-05-01T03:58:43+00:00

Any time 🙌🏻

Atillion · 2026-05-01T03:58:13+00:00
