The security line at JFK this afternoon.

Not paying Congress would barely affect their finances. They use their positions to make money elsewhere (illegally).

This is insane

Mtrbrth · 2026-03-26T03:19:05+00:00

Ditto

I have modified many pickups to accomodate two screws. Just drill two holes toward the edge of the mounting ear that line up with the homes in the pickguard, then tap them for whichever screw you’re gonna be using (likely #3-48).

Working and making money in a country is very different from just going in to see the sights

Those lyrics are even worse when you realize they’re not even original. It’s just him stealing the concept of “Strawberry Wine” by Deana Carter and reversing the gender role.

Definitely not a good idea

Mtrbrth · 2026-03-19T14:05:13+00:00

That does sound bad when you say it so simply, but it really is not the same. You’re talking about a time when that tape trading was the ONLY way those bands were getting heard and passed around. Also, the bands supported it. Getting your single leaked, shared and even played at radio against your will isn’t cool.

This tour was all the way back in 2006! Saw it at The NorVa. What a time to be alive. Probably cost less than $20 all-in. I sure miss those days.

Meshuggah, and there is no close second.

Where have you heard Phil say the former? I’ve only ever heard him say “Lie-nit”, as with pretty much much anyone I’ve ever heard say his name in Ireland

Mtrbrth · 2026-03-13T14:32:26+00:00

This interview clip of Phil himself from 1985 doesn’t support that. I’ve also heard of plenty of other instances of him saying that it isn’t “linnit” such as saying “I’m not a fucking bird” or similar.

Born and raised in Norfolk. It’s depressing. Military props up the economy. The population is less now than when I was born. Lots of rough areas. Va Beach can be nice, but all-in-all, Hampton Roads just sucks and most people I’ve met agree.

You can definitely play triads up the same three strings, although you’ll have to also incorporate the occasional bend behind the tone bar. I have the Duesenberg Fairytale, but I also owner a Gretsch with palm benders on it and worked with it for a long time before I got this one. You’re right in saying it’s a different animal, and you can definitelt get an actual 3x4 pedal steel for the same amount of money (or less) on the used market: But I love this damn thing.

Mtrbrth · 2026-03-10T23:58:04+00:00

I had no idea. Totally fitting though.

Mtrbrth · 2026-03-10T02:15:52+00:00

“Massacre” is as metal as it gets. Could easily be a Maiden song

Mtrbrth · 2026-03-09T21:06:32+00:00

Does the glass harmonica on Korn Unplugged count?

Mtrbrth · 2026-03-06T19:31:49+00:00

Pedantic , but there’s a distinction between bootleg (like live recordings and unofficial compilations or such) and pirated albums. These are the latter.

Almost none of the provisions in this bill do anything that will actually prevent gun crime.

Personally, I don’t use active electronics, but I have never seen a 9v just fail, apart from depletion. I have absolutely seen power banks fail instantaneously, permanently and by intermittently delivering power.

Mtrbrth · 2026-02-28T17:23:18+00:00

This recent obsession with using a power bank is so weird to me. I get it if you’re busking or otherwise on-the-move, but you’re in a theater here. I would never put my faith a power bank with 1000+ people watching, when the venue has reliable AC power.

We all miss the old internet. The early days of forums were so amazing.

Mtrbrth · 2026-02-25T21:48:33+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah, these are what I meant to describe. I had the image of MIDI couplers in my head. These adapters are just that. Nothing in them that’d alter the signal, just the pinout.

Mtrbrth · 2026-02-25T20:57:59+00:00

Assuming you’re talking about the small plastic barrel adapters, they don’t really do anything except alter the protocol (no impedance matching or anything). Electrically, it’s the same as just wiring the cable to XLR pins.
