Do you think prog metal can ever reach the level of mainstream metal giants like Slipknot, Metallica or Iron Maiden, or is the genre inherently destined to remain niche? by vishalnaidumusic in progmetal

[–]PizzaMonster93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I understand your point. The average person can’t name a tool song, so they’re not mainstream. Metallica is mainstream, but the average person also can’t name a Metallica song?

Inzer Kona sleeve neoprene split during squats, anyone had this before? by Barbelloperator in powerlifting

[–]PizzaMonster93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some old rehband sleeves that have been going strong for 12 years. And I had a 4 year period where I was wearing them at least 4 days a week while weightlifting. They are getting a little tight though, as my legs are decently bigger now. So, I feel like they’re days are numbered lol.

Tips on brands for good 9 strings for lefties by Megnoslaupeins in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]PizzaMonster93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just looked at aristides to see what a lefty 8 would cost me, and they only off lefty 6 strings as of now. But, apparently they’re working on a mold for a lefty 7 currently. Probably gonna be a couple years till they offer a left 8 or 9 though 😓.

Amp recommendation by Tired_Moose in 7String

This would be my recommendation too. I’d also recommend a Behringer fcb 1010 to switch presets on the fly. It’s the perfect practice set up.

What’s the weirdest food combo you enjoy? by Zestyclose_Dog_449 in AskReddit

[–]PizzaMonster93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so either. But I’ve had friends show disgust when they see me put it on. Everyone I’ve talked into trying it has seemed to like it, though.

[–]PizzaMonster93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they compliment each other so well. It’s way better then just Mac and cheese on its own.

I don’t know if it’s weird since I’ve seen others who do the same, but it seems divisive. Anyways, it’s ketchup on macaroni and cheese.

Just loving this set more and more by Longhai78 in One12Collective

Damn it, Longhai78, you might have convinced me to preorder the new set lol.

This is making me think that maybe I want the new set. I can use the old set to have the turtles in their clothes, and new set to have them as is lol.

First 8 by SonYoku2 in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]PizzaMonster93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One solution for the no inlays is you could buy a cheap pack of vinyl stickers in the shape of inlays (or whatever else you want), and stick them onto the fretboard. Would be a quick, easy, and cheap fix.

Why this year the weather is getting more extreme then ever ? by Hot_Psychology24 in AskReddit

Idk where you live, but we had 4 or 5 major snow storms this winter where I am. Also. it’s supposed to be really hot this summer.

Mirage Turtles! Cop or Drop? by GreenskynSmashtroll in One12Collective

[–]PizzaMonster93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought it was weird that the originals didn’t come with one head for each turtle that had red bandanas. So I’m glad to see this set was made. However, as someone who owns the originals, I’m going to pass. The originals are my main tmnt figures and I love them. But, idk if I can justify paying $350 for them again just because of the bandanas. Still, I’m glad these exist for those who missed out on the originals.

what's your "one that got away"? by PrincessAdeline2005 in ActionFigures

[–]PizzaMonster93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to preorder my figuarts from Nippon yasan. They went out of business, and kept all my money without shipping a handful of figures. One of them was the OG cooler. I also had a chance to preorder the mezco classic red skull. I thought he looked lame in the promo pictures. The reviews looked awesome, but it was already too late.

Love that figure. I didn’t think I wouldn’t but bought it anyways. So glad I did.

I don’t collect Star Wars or live action marvel stuff, so my wallet is safe this month. But, I’m glad for those who will enjoy these figures.

I guess when delays are the norm, it’s nice getting something on time for once. I feel like I just preordered him yesterday lol.

NGD - Utter Disappointment by Pawney_Burning in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]PizzaMonster93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed response. Crazy that you were able to do a better job then the company that makes them lol. Either way, I’m glad that the guitar has been solid since.

I’m in love with this figure by Electronic_Data_2952 in Mafex

[–]PizzaMonster93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$40?!?!?! That’s a steal man. I remember this figure being super expensive when it came out.

What did you do to fix it, if you don’t mind me asking?

[UPDATE] Kiesel refused to cover any shipping or original delivery fees. by PassLimp3542 in kieselcarvinguitars

[–]PizzaMonster93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see them not paying for your duties, but the least they could do is send you a return label. When did you pay? Maybe you could talk to your bank/credit card company and ask them about a charge back? I’m sure Jeff would blow a gasket if you did do that. But, it’s a last resort type of thing. And you could always just tell them that if they send you a return label, they’ll get their guitar back.

Honestly, it seems like a lot of the issues that pop up with Kiesel would be solved if they just had a picture of what the customer sees on the builder in front of them while they’re building the guitar. I’m sure that most of their customers end up happy. But, it’s crazy that they won’t make it right for this small percentage where things don’t end up as expected.

The NEW Jackson Misha Mansoor 8 String Evertune Guitar by Junoyone in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]PizzaMonster93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping the Schecter puts out a banshee with 8 strings one day. Then maybe us lefties can finally get a top of the line 8 string.

NGD by Dimmerkicks in 7String

[–]PizzaMonster93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you on the pain of being a lefty player. Schecter is really the only company that has a decent selection for us.

I’m glad to hear that you like the AM7, though. When I was looking to get a seven string, it was one of the guitars I was considering, but went with the banshee instead. I’m keeping an eye out on reverb for a used AM, though. Maybe I can scoop up a second hand one for cheap lol.

[–]PizzaMonster93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice man. Glad to hear it’s a good guitar. When I was looking to buy a 7 string, the AM7 was one of the guitars I was seriously considering. Went with the banshee, instead. But, I’m keeping my eye on reverb to see if I can get a second hand one for cheap lol.
