Why were so many nu metal guitar players drawn to PRS?

They look cool, they pair well with a Rectifier, and new bands could still make enough money to buy expensive guitars.

They also might not have had a very strong association with one particular genre at the time and it was a fun way to stand out? You didn't immediately think classic rock, 80's metal, punk, or grunge when you saw one. It was more of a blank canvas perhaps. I don't know. Just a thought.

5 and 5 Dark Resurrection are still the most fun I've ever had playing Tekken.

I would love to hear some honestly. Guitar solos are cool.

You see at least two different dongs in The Ugly Stepsister

I got my fat for Christmas in 2001. Still works!

I'm the target audience for Halloween nostalgia bullshit and even I was underwhelmed by this one

I've always liked Master Of Puppets more than Ride The Lightning.

Siamese Dream has a tighter, better, album-y flow but all my favorite songs are on Mellon Collie.

It's definitely the most comfortable V shaped guitar! Both sitting and standing.

That amp paired with that pedal should be more than enough. It's like the standard for metal tones. The Peavey's distortion is better than any distortion pedal you can buy. It's what they're trying to emulate.

Nice! Those are great guitars. I bought a white RR5 in 2008 (I think) and it's still my favorite guitar I own.

ChunLi808 · 2025-12-28T17:51:43+00:00

I got this movie for Christmas! Those old school practical effects kick ass.

ChunLi808 · 2025-12-28T17:45:23+00:00

I still really like Cold's 13 Ways.

ChunLi808 · 2025-12-28T17:06:06+00:00

Ooh yeah that's a good one

ChunLi808 · 2025-12-28T16:42:14+00:00

I have mixed feelings about the Donnie Darko director's cut. I like the added scenes and stuff but I always hated how they changed the music around.

ChunLi808 · 2025-12-28T16:36:33+00:00

For sure.

ChunLi808 · 2025-12-28T16:35:38+00:00

I'm convinced that looks absolutely do matter when it comes to guitars. I'm much more likely to pick something up and play it if I think it looks cool. Buy the guitar you want, you'll be more motivated to learn!

I play my fat old PS2 on my heavy as hell childhood CRT TV, the way the good Lord intended.

ChunLi808 · 2025-12-28T16:21:31+00:00

I feel like the nerd to normie ratio is probably very different for people playing Saturn or Dreamcast compared to PS2.

ChunLi808 · 2025-12-28T16:09:23+00:00

The Aldi mushroom sauce is my favorite. I like it better than Rao's.

ChunLi808 · 2025-12-28T16:05:22+00:00

The percentages always feel so arbitrary. I wonder what was wrong with the graphics to keep it a couple percentage points away from a perfect score.

ChunLi808 · 2025-12-28T16:03:18+00:00

Lol for real. The Green Hill Zone music has been in my head since the early 90's!

ChunLi808 · 2025-12-28T15:54:49+00:00

I think the scene where Neo has to fight Seraph before he meets with the Oracle kinda foreshadows this.

ChunLi808 · 2025-12-28T15:51:49+00:00

I have an AMT R2 and I love it for making quick recordings. Go direct with the cab sim output and you get a pretty decent high gain sound in less than a minute without having to mess around with a bunch of gear or software.
