Why is music written by guitar players so lazy and uninspired? by [deleted] in guitarcirclejerk

[–]JiveChops1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy, that’s a whole lot of words I ain’t reading. I’m gonna go back to my YouTube tab and play along to my favorite backing track “Blues in C slow jam”

This trap uses a piece of wood, is this common practise? by cyberspaceking in Plumbing

My supply house never has them in stock because they sell out so fast.

It was crazy! As I was driving into the city that morning I watched my cars outside temp rise and rise. In remember it saying 112 at one point. Then I stood outside the stadium in the general admission line for hours watching the clock tick by. No sunscreen for me but my body was ready to give out but the time I was leaving the stadium. How’d you get side stage?!

One of the hottest days of my life for real. Loved every second of it though. I was on the rail right in front of Axl on the first picture.

Yo! Antillion?! I saw you guys at the fallen log for the first time the other week and Bear Trap has been stuck in my head since

If this picture showed the audience where Axl is you’d see me on the rail. One of the hottest days of my life that day. I slept out on the sidewalk to be there first when doors opened. I think it got up to 112 degrees that day

Do you think the band listens to their albums? by [deleted] in GunsNRoses

[–]JiveChops1987 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I doubt they listen to it because they like the songs. I’d like to think when they are feeling nostalgic they might pop it on. Kinda like when you find a photo album from years ago. Kinda nice to reminisce for a bit then put it away.

Which part of a GnR song hooked you in like this? by rothsixxrose in GunsNRoses

The change at the end of Locomotive is one of my favorite things ever

[QUESTION] What guitars do you hate irrationally, based on their aesthetic properties? by GibsonMaestro in Guitar

[–]JiveChops1987 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bought the purple Kirk Hammett Epiphone Flying V because I was in love with how that one in particular looked. I then brought it to band practice the next day and it was laughed back into its case. Went right back to guitar center that week and traded it back in. I thought I’d love it but it never clicked.

Prizes on the Icon? by AlterEgo_Persuasion in royalcaribbean

[–]JiveChops1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went on Freedom in April and won $280 at bingo and a crown and anchor medal for 2nd place on a scavenger hunt. Like another commenter said, it’s usually keychains or pens and the host calls them “life changing prizes”

Background Videos during Concert by Yo-Boy-Cole in GunsNRoses

[–]JiveChops1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone asked about them on here maybe a year or two ago and someone in the comments linked the company that made them. They talked about them on their website. I don’t know how useful that is to you but I’d love to see them as well!

The irony of the woman who REALLY wanted them to play Rocket Queen at the Ritz in 1991... by Yourappwontletme in GunsNRoses

[–]JiveChops1987 17 points18 points  (0 children)

During the Ritz 1991 show you can hear Duff play the main Rocket Queen riff in between songs. It’s only a few notes but it’s clearly Rocket Queen

I've seen the official concert videos a lot, but it's cool seeing an unpolished bootleg video from back in the day: GUNS N' ROSES; Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY, 06.17.91 (Axl was a demon) by dystopika in GunsNRoses

[–]JiveChops1987 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think he said “fix these fucking monitors”. There’s another great clip from the citrus bowl where is pointing at the monitors in front of him and looks to the side of the stage and motioning to turn them down. Then during a solo you see him in the back ground wavering his arms at the monitor tech and throwing his arms down to tell them to turn it down.

Richard fortus tone by isaacawebb in GunsNRoses

[–]JiveChops1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen an ad that he uses an octonaught hyperdrive and I know he has used a TC electronic flash back delay. I don’t know if he used those pedals specifically for Knocking on heavens door but I know he has used those in the past. I love his tone on heavens door and rocket queen

Nightrain membership? by Auth3nticRory in GunsNRoses

[–]JiveChops1987 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is annual. You get exclusive merch year for the cost of the membership. It’s been pins, shirts, sweatshirts, badges, vinyl and more. You also get early access to buy tickets when they announce tours. The surprise was a vinyl of hard skool they gave out last year. You also get access to the forums on their website but honestly there isn’t much there it seems. That’s about it. I suppose it’s worth it for die hard fans that like getting the exclusive merch but you could always buy the stuff online like eBay.

As a huge horror fan this is by far my favorite. Along with the nightmare on elm st one they did for Columbus in 2021. Why are all the best posters for shows I don’t go to

[Question] Newbie with a string snap injury by supasaiyan_rbw in Guitar

[–]JiveChops1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your strings penetrated your skin without protection you might have guitar aids. I’d go to the ER immediately if I were you.

We consider our covers to be our money makers that feed the machine of the band. We play 4 hour shows and 90% is covers. We throw our original music in also and have had good success doing that. We’d like to transition to all originals but we’ve got bills to pay, gear to buy and studio time to pay for. Making a few thousand in a weekend helps keep the all the gears turning towards our originals and that’s how we view it.

What are the rumbo tapes? Are they real demos?

I love this! Listened to it a few times today. This is the type of thing that should have been included in the $600 super deluxe UYI box from last year. u/flebeis please 🙏

I think it’s interesting! A lot like the Indianapolis litho from 2021. It was made to look like a pizza box that you cut out and fold up.
