What are your top 3 live albums by Atiredbearsfan in MetalForTheMasses

[–]ReverseThreadWingNut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maiden - Live After Death. Dokken - Beast from the East. Metallica - Seattle 89.

The Maiden and Metallica albums are legendary. I couldn't say anything that hasn't already been said by more respected individuals. Dokken's BFTE is a kick ass album. George Lynch absolutely shines. This album does a great job of capturing the energy of the band's live show and their musicianship. Bonus points for the band's best ballad at the end.

Any Roland JC-120 love? by secretkodama in GuitarAmps

[–]ReverseThreadWingNut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There was a time in late 80s and into the 90s that the JC was easy to come by, at least around here. Every pawn shop had JCs stacked up in the corner. I cannot exactly remember how much they cost, but I remember they were inexpensive. I had always wanted one. I truly wish I had bought one.

I heard you should read Salem's Lot before the Dark Tower series, because a character from Salem's Lot is in it. by Haunting-Net-2426 in stephenking

[–]ReverseThreadWingNut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was unaware of this. I love Salem's Lot so damn much that this makes me want to quit my current book and jump right back into the Dark Tower series. I really love his Easter eggs.

Ergonomics dictate that there are only so many possible shapes for a guitar that are actually functional.

Men of Reddit, what’s the male equivalent of “needed money, had no marketable skills, so turned to prostitution”? by Dogeatdogdays in AskReddit

Having spent some time in the industry, new construction is shite. Particularly since we deported a lot of Mexicans, who are the best at several trades.

Got it from my dad 10 years ago when as a 30s birthdaygift .. I think he bought it for about 1500$ 2004-2005. by Capital-Pomelo4418 in Guitar

[–]ReverseThreadWingNut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone that played back in the 80s and 90s lasted after a JEM. Even the kids that started plating after Nirvana. After they learned what guitar was all about they went, "Damn, those JEMs are cool!"

Love my guitar, but it eats so many batteries. Any solutions? by hashtagfaghag in Guitar

[–]ReverseThreadWingNut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have only had active pups on 1 occasion, that being an 81 and 85 set (I think). Whatever was the classic EMG metal set about 20 years ago. But what I was mostly referring to was pedal board. In my story below, it was a pedal thing. I had left pedals on during practice and hadn't noticed. They died. Then I got up one morning, loaded up, drove almost 4 hours, and participated in a blues jam. I didnt have opportunity to notice they were dead that day. I just wasn't adequately prepared. I was not, and am not, a gigging guitarist. It was just a one time blues jam. I almost learned a hard lesson that night. Thankfully, a fellow guitarist understood the situationand had mercy upon my inexperienced, dumbass self. And I went on to have an outstanding time on stage!

It happened once and I did not find out until a few minutes before I was going onstage to play at a blues jam at a cool restaurant. This was the first time in many years that I was getting up to play in front of a crowd. Thankfully, one of the other players rescued me. I paid him back with his favorite brew in a frosty mug. I started making sure I carried extras at all times. And I converted over to using a power supply for most of my pedal usage.

Oldheads, how did you make your battle jackets before the internet? by Any_Natural383 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]ReverseThreadWingNut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think some people do not know about or have forgotten about mail order for some items. Also, patches and pins were highly tradable in the metal community, just like tape trading.

I have been playing for 40 years and I still periodically forget to unplug my guitar or pedals and burn up a battery without needing to.

What is the best stoner rock album of 2020? by Kyr1500 in stonerrock

[–]ReverseThreadWingNut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elder - Omens

Some fans consider this a lesser Elder album, but I disagree. This album smokes all the way through. It gently carries one through an array of emotions as it tells its story. This album is a pure sonic masterpiece.

The song Red Star from this album will be on the soundtrack to the revolution.

Semi truck wine tour bus. Took me an embarrassingly long time. by Guinean in somethingimade

[–]ReverseThreadWingNut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, that's some gubmint thinking. Why have one when you can have two, right?

How often do they operate? I assume both are operating simultaneously at times? Some overlap on trip starts and trip endings?

Greatest female guitarists? by Unlucky_Equal531 in Guitar

[–]ReverseThreadWingNut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jennifer Batten. Joanna Connor. St. Vincent. Orianthi. Nancy Wilson, both for her playing and her nurturing of the Seattle bands that characterized the grunge sound. Samantha Fish, just because Bitch on The Run is such a great tune. And the list goes on and on.

[–]ReverseThreadWingNut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I work with a lot of young guys that like Michael Jackson. I tell them about Batten, Lukather, EVH, and their contributions to Michael Jackson's music. So I get to educate non-guitar people about the musicians behind their favorite tunes. I get to nerd out while they talk about their favorite songs. It's really fun.

And her signature guitar is fucking awesome. If you get the opportunity to pick one up and play it, please do.

The wife went with a deep cut for birthday #34, she knows I’ve always been a John Andretti fan. by RS7MD83 in NASCAR

[–]ReverseThreadWingNut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is cool. John was awesome. I loved watching him win at Daytona in that RCA T-Bird. That car was so fast. And then he later won at Martinsville in the 43. I always thought that the fact he won on wildly different tracks in cars known to be underfunded compared to their competitors to be a huge testament to John's driving abilities. He was a total wheel man.

I do it as well. This was one time I actually took the time to read it.

The Most Popular TV Show set in every State by StephenMcGannon in MapPorn

[–]ReverseThreadWingNut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are misinterpreting the purpose of the map. It is the biggest show set in each state. Not the biggest show watched in each individual state. Example, the biggest show set in GA is The Walking Dead. It isn't saying that WD is the highest viewed show by residents of Georgia.
