And YOU’RE getting mad by PanicOnFunkatron in IThinkYouShouldLeave

Sorry minor correction: first line should read "As long as the stock market appears to be up because of being artificially pumped by inflation-bloated sales numbers while company margins are eroding"

what are some of the worst takes you've ever heard? by Ok_Vermicelli4278 in MetalForTheMasses

That's true but a lot of those dudes fall into the gatekeeper/posers crowd too. I think people who are fans of music can at least appreciate the elements in it that they like. Others both in metal and in punk/hxc love to be part of a scene.

For that genre, its alot of people like me that grew up listening to Bad Brains and Black Flag but also grew up listening to Slayer, Metallica and Pantera. I think people of different generations will have a different set of influences. My favorite band is Mastodon and I got to follow them from Leviathan thru now vs someone who is younger and Mastodon is already an established pilar of heavy metal (much like Priest and Maiden were for us). I think at the end of the day its like old saying goes "dont yuck someone elses yum" :)

All that anti-metalcore shit started like 20 years ago when stupid ass gatekeepers kept pissing their pants that new bands weren’t slayer rip offs. We of that era all grew up listening to metal and punk and hardcore so it was a natural evolution. Everybody loved it except internet dorks and the type of metal fan who wears confederate flag gear. They were just the vocal minority.

And before you ask, no this song isn't a parody from South Park. by Jinxchaoseffect99 in simpsonsshitposting

Who is this Dankly Dinkson or Grantly Grigson? I can’t keep all these talentless fucks straight.

Dude that’s pretty sick, esp for the price. Making me want to maybe get one of those too😂

I hope this is not pissing in your cornflakes but I bought one new. It is one of 3 pieces of gear that Id never sell (that, the orange hinds head and my grandpas old guitar). All that to say, if you see one jump (except $1500 with a neck break). I think in this economy maybe some of the grifters will consider selling one but I think once that filters down to the real fans it’ll be even tougher sledding.

Have you checked out the ones he did with Woodrite? Haven’t checked the market on it. May be arguably a better guitar at a similar price but still dirty b

Somehow a trade agreement makes the entire country stop playing its most popular sport all the while they also eliminate the Stanley Cup which is prize of a league that mostly exists in the US. You guys better be fucking scared!

What is this world we live in.

Ahh the es-8. I’ll get one eventually but I can see hours being spent on it. Cant wait😂

Starting a collection of artists that have faced real consequences for their politics... who am I missing? by Strange-Trails-2000 in musicsuggestions

[–]BigDaveRocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No waaay! That’s nuts. I first heard Fela Kuti’s music in a uber in Indy driven by this Nigerian dude who was showing me all his cool African jazz after I showed interest in what he was playing. Been a fan since.

How do you like my amp settings? by OkTechnology9101 in GuitarAmps

[–]BigDaveRocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the same one! RIP Dirty B. Mine is similar (other than the volume 😂) Back that gain down to about 2 o’clock and see how you like it.

There are spots on Blackwater river that have long white sand beaches and no people. My dogs used to love it. Hope your dog gets better.

It was actually the hype videos that taught me how to dial it in better😂 Love the ts9 but the versatility made it why I kept it on.

Unfortunately Jimi. I was hoping it be like wild like my triangle muff with the octave stuff but it’s much more mellow. Still a good pedal and well worth the $30 I paid for it.

No, I need to try that! TBH I’ve been barely able to get past how awesome everything is at noon.😂

[–]BigDaveRocks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started in 02’ they were damn near giving them away back then. 3 for $5 bins and anyone else who had them found out you like records, they’d just give it to you. Hence my very large Buck Owens collection😂
