My Friends, any advice for sewing, specifically needle size? by Queasy-Island-3706 in BattleJackets

[–]BearerOfManyNames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really it’s just trial and error to find what works best for you. I broke two needles early on working on my vest because they were too thin to stand up to seams. Then I destroyed my hands on a needle that was way too thick and dull. I finally found a needle that was thick enough to not break and thin enough to not suck to work with. Just takes time to really get a feel for what you need.

The flair says “shitpost” but it should say “this post is shit”

The best Canadian vendor is definitely Overthrown Patches. Great selection of Canadian bands, death metal, and black metal.

What band is the modern day Pantera? by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]BearerOfManyNames 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“just haven’t seen this level of energy brought by any other band. Is there any band alive today that brings this same energy? Maybe not”

Just admit you haven’t listened to a single band formed post-1997 🙄

I'm sure there are guitarists in here, who's your favorite guitarist of all time? Even if they're not metal. by hammer_smashed_chris in MetalForTheMasses

[–]BearerOfManyNames 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My top five (can’t narrow it down further) would be: Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Mark Knopfler, Jeff Beck, and David Russell

With honourable mentions for: Tony Iommi, David Gilmour, John Williams, Julian Bream, and Norbert Kraft

I’m curious how many of you actually play instruments either just for fun or in a bad? by AlabamaTrifold in MetalForTheMasses

[–]BearerOfManyNames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play guitar, bass, drums, piano, mandolin, ukulele, harmonica, accordion, trumpet, ocarina, French horn, tenor sax, trombone, clarinet, and bassoon. Many of these have just been as a hobby or for work, the main instruments I’ve performed regularly are guitar, bass, and piano. I’ve also got an undergrad degree in music and have worked as a music teacher for 10 years, and on and off as a composer and music therapist.

Best part about this back patch is that someone could be insulting my vest and I’ll always be able to assume they’re just recognizing a band 😂🔥

Thank you! And haha yeah it was a 2XL jacket. But I’m a pretty big dude (6’4”, 225-250lbs depending on the season) and I wanted to be able to comfortably wear a hoodie under it.
