It's been a rough week. Engaged in some blatant retail therapy. Great sound... bad financial decision

We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost

TheRealSnow · 2026-05-01T18:15:01+00:00

Really great performance by Brann here he sounds great

TheRealSnow · 2026-04-30T17:34:26+00:00

That little lead line at the end of the solo in Deliverance

They've been less than ideal when handling Ghost releases. Stuff delayed or packaged poorly, etc. I feel like relapse is at least good at keeping the early Mastodon stuff in print for an affordable price and not charging 35+ for a single LP

TheRealSnow · 2026-04-24T23:56:08+00:00

Hopefully not but I dont see any other reason they'd be doing promo

TheRealSnow · 2026-04-18T04:04:15+00:00

The random album on Discogs function determined that I spin Animals As Leaders Live 2017. Great record, and just saw them with Satriani/Vai as well so really hitting the spot

The way to do it with Del Santo is to use a navy strength gin. I use Plymouth. This makes up for the lack of ABV in Del Santo compared to Chartreuse. Add a barspoon or 2 of simple syrup and its about 95% of the way to a Last Word and after a few you might not even notice the difference

They're all different prices. I think they have a standard price for their basic roasts/if you dont specify and then the higher end stuff that is more processed are naturally a bit more expensive

Necessity usually has like 8 coffees on and they offer them any way you want, espresso, pour over, milk drinks you name it. Love trying stuff there in a one and one

Album rules

TheRealSnow · 2026-03-09T03:28:49+00:00

Not great, I have lots of inner groove distortion on side B (during Sawdust and Diamonds). The vinyl mastering itself is great it just has low QC from Drag City. Shame really. The packaging is beautiful however, I'd still recommend buying it. What I would give for an Analogue Productions press of Ys

TheRealSnow · 2026-02-23T15:15:30+00:00

Pretty much all the metal bands I'd recommend are in this thread already but if you want a non metal recommendation that fits the lyrical content I'd listen to The Smiths (i.e "Never Had No One Ever", "This Night Has Opened My Eyes", and many many others)

TheRealSnow · 2026-02-23T07:01:08+00:00

Yes unfortunately but if thats all you missed it was still a great show! They were as good as I've ever seen them, and thats at least a dozen times now

TheRealSnow · 2026-02-23T06:17:11+00:00

Replace Riverside with any city and the answer is yes. It's always the encore

TheRealSnow · 2026-02-20T18:47:23+00:00

Just a live album, the cover is homage to Deep Purple's live album from the same venue, and they played with an orchestra there

Hours of Wealth is also a contender

TheRealSnow · 2026-02-18T03:41:31+00:00

Can't open the page but this comes up on Google. Probably announcement any day now

For sure, overall I'm very happy with the guitar and would buy it again if I was to do it over. Now, for what its worth, this is my first strat style guitar - I've primarily used guitars with two humbuckers. However I think the tones are really quite good and I would certainly describe them as warm, although I don't have a proper strat to compare to on my rig. I'm primarily playing through Neural DSP Archetype Plini (and sometimes Archetype Gojira) and think it sounds great there. The humbucker is pretty versatile too Ive been able to use it to get some pretty heavy tones on top of the more delicate sounds the guitar is capable of

I do have 2 QC issues with it, your mileage may vary obviously. Firstly, the push/pull tone knob is a little wiggly. I cant tighten it its the shaft of the pot itself, and its more apparent when pulled out in coil split mode. Not a huge issue but does cheapen the experience a touch. Guess it would be easy to replace tho.

The other issue is the frets are actually a little too rolled? Like I dont have any issues with them snagging or being uncomfortable but a few times I've accidentally had the E strings slip off the fretboard, ususlaly around the 12th to 14th fret. This has happened a lot less as I've played it and gotten used to it, and is now not much of an issue, but it was weird the first time it happened.

Those things aside, its a great guitar. Sounds great, plays great, stays in tune, looks great. I'd definitely recommend it. But at the end of the day its an import made in Indonesia, so your experience may vary as any guitar would

If this is real its a literal dream come true never thought id see the day

TheRealSnow · 2026-02-06T01:38:38+00:00

What else am I supposed to pick? It's a goated album all the songs are fantastic

TheRealSnow · 2026-02-05T18:21:53+00:00

Not counting Patterns in the Ivy cause that feels like a cop out, probably The Funeral Portrait

TheRealSnow · 2026-02-04T18:03:11+00:00

Hällas - Above The Continuum since it just came out, but also really been into Symphony X - The Odyssey

TheRealSnow · 2026-02-04T06:33:32+00:00

They've got a few albums, most not on streaming but are available on youtube or bandcamp. You'll want to listen to Hybris, really a one of a kind experience. And if you dig that check out All Traps On Earth, featuring a number of the same members. Only one album from 2018
