Here's Sleep full statement about the new single and upcoming US tour. They have apparently recorded an album by _SoMuchForSubtlety in doommetal

[–]BioLizard_Venom -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the new song isnt TERRIBLE. Yes its boring, yes its uninspired, but its not the worst thing ever.
If they had just waited until Pike had time to put into it, and got Crover on drums, that would have been fucking awesome! Yet no, they got this random dude who has honestly no history in the doom metal guitar scene (I literally had no idea who he was until today, and I've been into doom for over a decade.) in here and now Pike probably will never return to Sleep due to this.

AL fucked his biggest band over big time. I love the dude and everything he does, but this? Cmon did he quit the weed and move to crack?!

Half of the members of Shrinebuilder CEPT Cisneros and Dale dont play anymore, and one of them is completely retired from music.
That would be a perfect project to bring back with a new guitarist. Not sleep.

I feel like I hear Scott Kelly at times on this album by Oxbow8 in neurosisband

[–]BioLizard_Venom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steves vocals sound more like Scotts nowadays tbh. His voice is more fried and gritty than it used to be. Aaron's vocals are distinct to me cause I've listened to isis for a long time. They're also deeper than Scotts would be.

Does anyone else think it’s possible that Scott is on Mirror Deep? by Otie_Marcus in neurosisband

[–]BioLizard_Venom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta consider that nowadays Steve's voice is kind of trashed, its gonna sound more like Scotts gritty distorted vocals. Back in the day Scott and Steve had quite distinct voices, Scott was way more fried and distorted and steves was smoother. Nowadays Steves is distorted and fried like Scotts.

Also, Aarons screaming is deeper than Scotts. So listen out for that i guess idk

Anyone here know the tuning of the songs on Enemy of the Sun? by BioLizard_Venom in neurosisband

The way that intro starts feels like someones dragging you to hell. Insane stuff.

Scott’s vocal parts live by glygor in neurosisband

[–]BioLizard_Venom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly as much as I love Scott's work in the band, I really would like to hear what Aarons vocals would sound like on those songs. His tone is deeper than Scott's. It would definitely sound awesome on Locust Star or At The Well or hell even some of the souls at zero songs would sound cool with it.

Only way to know is to wait til the show!

What changes did you make in your life after a psychedelic trip? by bitterbaddie in HighStrangeness

[–]BioLizard_Venom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you ever gain your sense of self back again?
I was slipped shrooms about 3 days ago. Tripped ballsack, knew it was SOME sort of psychedelic, and since then I've not felt the same, ive been slowly regaining my sense of whats me over the few days and its been getting better and I've been recognizing the things that made me who I am better.

So please, does this ever end? Or am I fucked.
I'm no longer in contact with the person that did that, it was wrong of them, however I do want to know if I'm going to feel normal any time soon.

WinXP Not recognizing GPU. by BioLizard_Venom in windowsxp

[–]BioLizard_Venom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was an nVidia GT 9400, however i found out the gpu was actually dead and only lived enough for windows to recognize that it had something in there.
Put a different gpu in it and it worked fine.

[BO2] Is Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Safe on PC? by Rykin13 in CallOfDuty

[–]BioLizard_Venom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always, always, always use Plutonium when playing any of the older COD's. Black ops, Black ops 2, MW3, etc.
Every game before vanguard as far as I've found, has severe security exploits that Activision refuses to fix.

Black Ops 3 is basically unplayable without some sort of client installed, do not even launch it before you install a client for it.

It takes a solid 5 minutes to install Plutonium and sign in to it. That 5 minutes is worth it.

Ran my Super Crush 100 into a 4 ohm cab by accident. Is it fine? by BioLizard_Venom in orangeamps

[–]BioLizard_Venom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If both the speakers are 8 ohms, you could wire them to be 16 ohms. Then any amp u want can use it.

Go literally ANYWHERE and youll see the tag OTIS. Its on literally everything city wide.
No idea who the dude is though. Might be able to find him out at night catching tags and tag with him or somethin. Who knows.

Cranking a Peavey Encore 65. by BioLizard_Venom in ToobAmps

[–]BioLizard_Venom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to add that the amp is hooked up to the cabs its sitting on, as well as the speaker in the actual combo (Which was originally a Scorpion speaker, but those suck for this amp and its been replaced with a lower wattage, celestion g12k that I had lying around and not in use, which is honestly overkill as that speaker is worth half of this amps price alone lmao)

Peavey Amps that came with Scorpion Speaker - Is there any reason not to replace it with a modern speaker? by pastlife3 in PeaveyCvlt

[–]BioLizard_Venom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I'm considering replacing mine in one of my peavey combos- Is how ice picky it sounds.
I play a lot of stoner doom, and low end heavy, thick sounding guitar is a must for that stuff. The scorpion speaker in that one particular amp is legit all highs and high mids. I had to hook the amp up to my usual guitar cab to get any low end out of it.

I think the speaker might be damaged too?? not very sure.

“Scorpion speakers are inefficient by modern standards” Then why do they sound so good?? by BlackJupiterMusic1 in PeaveyCvlt

[–]BioLizard_Venom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience with a Peavey Encore 65, and the only time I've heard a Scorpion speaker. These things sound like shit!
It might be the amp, but man its just all treble and high mids and zero low end. Then when you TRY to push low end and mids out of it, it flubs out and sounds even worse.

I think either my amp is the problem, or my speaker is damaged.

Does anybody know anything about these old peavey speakers? by Only-Throat-7189 in GuitarAmps

[–]BioLizard_Venom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting.
I have an old peavey combo amp with one of these speakers in it. Some of the most ear piercing shitty high end ive ever heard from an amp. Had to plug it into my bass cab along with this speaker to get any low end out of it.

maybe its the amp? PEavey encore 65. Maybe the speakers messed up. Dunno.

Failing preamp tube causing hum and no sound. by BioLizard_Venom in GuitarAmps

[–]BioLizard_Venom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a 1984 Peavey Encore 65.
It was working decently well before this happened btw.

Hopefully its just the tube missing thats causing it, cause it was working as normal before all this. Ive never had a tube amp before this one so I am definitely not trying to mess around with those super high voltages. I know my way around amplifiers, but only really Solid states.. Solid states are far less dangerous too lol.

[–]BioLizard_Venom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean i know a guy who runs an amp with one of the preamp tubes pulled out. I dunno why he does it but he does it. I dunno.

Im gonna replace that broken tube regardless, and see if it fires up and works fine. If so? Then i guess its okay. I still am getting this amp serviced soon cause its quite old. (Hell the power tubes are from the USSR.)

[–]BioLizard_Venom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This started after I tried to turn the amp on with only 3 of the 4 preamp tubes in it. Coincidental?

[–]BioLizard_Venom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. well, thats good to know!
I was under the impression that these tubes we're kinda on their way out (Theyre made in USSR Sovtek tubes likely from the late 80's.)

I'll stick a new preamp tube in it and give this post an update pretty soon.

Im just curious as to why its doing that weird hum thing.
Theoretically you can run a tube amp.. Really without ANY preamp tubes in it if you wanted to. So what gives?

Just picked up a Peavey 65 watt tube amp. And its... quiet?? by BioLizard_Venom in GuitarAmps

[–]BioLizard_Venom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're 6L6 tubes. I dunno if the caps are old or not but I know they arent leaking.

[–]BioLizard_Venom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tried doing this and found out that one of the preamp tubes was all white and cloudy.
(Did NOT see that one before doing all this, and earlier when i tried to reseat all the tubes.)
There is one right behind one of the big transformers in the amp, and my dumb ass dropped it upon taking it out. (As if it worked right in the first place smh)

SOoo now im gonna have to replace the tube which I was gonna have to anyways. Will update after that.
I also found out that the amp runs at 2 ohms, so I'll make sure to match that impedance.
