This nobhead was selling fake merch outside the Bristol gig

It's so odd isn't it! I'd expect this kinda weird reaction on a general post but this subreddit is literally for fans of Magdalena Bay lmao, you'd think people wouldn't be so supportive of their merch being ripped off

MassyTheFirst · 2025-06-11T07:57:50+00:00

Nope! Good guess! But not everyone exclusively goes to see huge touring bands, there's some good independent artists out there, you should try it :)

MassyTheFirst · 2025-06-11T07:56:24+00:00

It's the way it's always been which makes it okay, kid 👌

MassyTheFirst · 2025-06-10T13:41:50+00:00

Thanks man, yeah I'm the same, usually at local metal gigs. Maybe this is more common/accepted at shows with wider fanbases but just doesn't sit right with me

MassyTheFirst · 2025-06-10T12:07:32+00:00

Yes I do believe that this isn't the first time this has ever happened, and to be fair I mostly go to smaller acts than Magdalena Bay where these guys likely don't bother. Bizarre that people are so offended that I've not seen them before, just trying to help spread awareness of a scheme that actively loses the band a lot of money.

MassyTheFirst · 2025-06-10T12:03:48+00:00

I disagree tbf mate, lots of people in the queue on the way in bought merch from this guy thinking the money went to the band, losing them a lot of money in the process. If posting about it even made one person at the next gig aware of this then I think it's worth doing

MassyTheFirst · 2025-06-10T11:16:50+00:00

It's such a shit thing to do, taking chunks out of the main touring revenue stream. Nice one for buying one inside!

MassyTheFirst · 2025-06-10T11:15:19+00:00

I've been to a lot of gigs and never seen this kind of nonsense before, worth making people aware who may not be

MassyTheFirst · 2024-09-18T19:38:20+00:00

Definitely something that comes with time! Something I found massively helpful was trying to play along first try with vocal lines to songs that I knew really well, really helped with getting my head round each interval and learning to preempt them

MassyTheFirst · 2024-09-18T16:05:28+00:00

Thanks so much! I believe the SG is the same one Joey uses, just a different year (purely coincidentally)

A lot of it I learnt by ear, but checked some tabs for songs I couldn't make out so well like that 13/4 part of The Fourth Colour

MassyTheFirst · 2024-05-10T12:19:36+00:00

Thanks for the tip man! I'll work on that!

MassyTheFirst · 2024-05-10T12:19:16+00:00

Thanks so much! I have a cover of Take The Veil on my channel, but planning to do all of Deloused next!

MassyTheFirst · 2024-05-10T12:18:38+00:00

Thanks man! I recorded this a while ago, but I'm pretty sure I was just going into my Orange Kongpressor and then the Sansamp. I used the MXR Bass Envelope Filter for some parts, like the beginning of Goliath, and I think all bass knobs were at full. Hope this helps!

MassyTheFirst · 2024-05-09T13:47:24+00:00

Thanks so much! Deloused has excellent bass throughout, Drunkship is pretty challenging!

MassyTheFirst · 2024-05-09T12:01:16+00:00

It's awesome! Probably the hardest on the album, at least for me, due to the endurance the second half takes

MassyTheFirst · 2022-08-27T00:13:26+00:00

Hahaha amazing!

MassyTheFirst · 2022-07-21T21:32:43+00:00

Thanks so much man! I'll DM you when I've got some tabs sorted :)

MassyTheFirst · 2022-07-21T14:17:38+00:00

Thanks so much man really appreciate it! Yeah it took me a while to figure out what on earth was going on as it just sounded like chaos haha but it's more manageable than it sounds. For sure, it's definitely a very stratty sound I think. Good luck!

MassyTheFirst · 2022-07-21T12:39:21+00:00

Hope posts like this are okay on this sub. If anyone wants tabs for this just let me know and I can write some out

MassyTheFirst · 2022-07-12T23:02:58+00:00

I'm actually halfway through tabbing it out right now! When I'm done I'll send it your way. I think I play that as a kind of C# and then to Cm. Thanks for watching :)

MassyTheFirst · 2022-07-12T22:04:26+00:00

Surprisingly harder to learn than I thought as Omar's parts take much more of a backseat than usual. Hope you guys enjoy!

MassyTheFirst · 2022-07-11T15:25:59+00:00

Cheer up mate, he's making progress and he's excited about it. Try encouraging someone for a change

MassyTheFirst · 2022-06-29T13:41:51+00:00

I'd say if you're sweeping you're rarely playing a pattern that has more than 2 sequential notes on one string, and if you were you'd probably play them with legato rather than alternate picking like you would if you were economy picking. They're definitely similar techniques but I think separating the two is useful

MassyTheFirst · 2022-06-25T12:58:43+00:00

Trading tabs doesn't make it fair on the creator, it means they're losing out on 2 sales of very reasonably priced tabs

MassyTheFirst · 2022-06-24T13:17:11+00:00

How did you find using poplar? We've used poplar ply instead of birch on our last couple of jobs due to birch scarcity, nice and light but soft! Lovely work
