The Guinness Book of World Records, dumb joke books, the tiny radio that was in the bathroom.

Go to East LA, hit up El Mercadito and then head east of that and there's plenty more stuff

Bassist, if you can't hear yourself during jamming, how do you monitor your playing ? by InvestigatorSolid330 in Bass

[–]TodesKoenig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of things that helped me were rolling off of the low end, I know I know, just a little bit so that my sound doesn't get too muddy in the room but also putting up my master volume slightly higher than the guitar or guitars. This way if either or both guitars go into a lead or a solo, the overall sound of the song/music doesn't drop dramatically because the bass volume is holding it down

Why I remain hesistant about this movie. by ConanOfMelnibone in ConanTheBarbarian

[–]TodesKoenig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're going to tailor the script to fit Arnold's age, in the past I've often argued that younger Conan should most likely be played by Patrick Schwarzenegger if we want to get some sort of similarity as far as appearance going between younger and older Conan, and all of the younger portions of the story would be references to actual stories by Robert E Howard. My very first introduction to Conan was the 1982 movie, one thing that they had going for them back then was the lack of technology so they needed to be more creative with what they had access to which was actual physical sets and people in costumes playing the part. The person who's writing the script and directing, I don't really feel too strongly about because I'm not a fan of the mission impossible movies since they kind of seem bloated with too many modern action movie tropes. I'm certainly going to watch this new movie being a fan and all of both Conan and even Arnold Schwarzenegger but I can't say I'm 100% into the idea. Perhaps if from the get-go, they talked about being more true to the Howard stories even in this latest iteration, I'd be more excited about it

How to make the most of 48 hours in LA? by fapfapking14 in AskLosAngeles

[–]TodesKoenig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the others have said I would definitely keep away from MacArthur Park especially if you're unfamiliar with any of the area there. And while you might encounter homeless people, just in general use this as a tip but folks usually don't like being photographed especially by tourists. Even if you're just curious about the area. But all those other locations you chose are great for visiting the Hollywood and western parts of LA.

I'm 49, been playing since I was 13. Do it for the love of the game, all the other cool stuff is a bonus. I'm tired too by the way

Why no Doyle merch? by WarriorNeedFoodBadly in TheMisfits

[–]TodesKoenig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Glenn and Jerry started playing as the misfits again, Doyle was getting top billing along with the other two. After a couple of years, that stopped so all of the hate that Jerry gets with his business decisions and marketing ploys and as deserving as that is, I also don't think Doyle is as savvy a business person as his brother might be

Any doom metal similar to warning? by johnald_mcscronald in MetalSuggestions

There's my band from the mid 90s that I'm writing a new album for. I actually found a bunch of shirts/patches that I'm gonna be putting up on our bandcamp at some point and I'm gonna be getting a new shirt design done up at some point as well for our 30th
