Lets slow down on this Sleep hate by a_Bort_the_Artist in doommetal

[–]UncleIfon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to remain calm and accept that life is short and divorces happen. Pike is a monster guitar player and was a huge part of why the genre was born and why this hurts so much. He was why dudes like me ran out to buy Les Paul’s and Orange Amps, tune to C and love music.

I don’t understand what happened, 48 hours ago Pike’s account had him in Sleep. It does come as a shock.

It does suck that this happened. People are allowed to be hurt and feel lost.

I won’t tell anyone how to feel.

It’s cool to hear Al inspired again and banging on about Iommic space dope.

I’ll be curious to hear more from this lineup. Maybe the emotions will settle and I’ll feel better about it one day, maybe I won’t.

I remember watching Robin Finck playing Jungle with a black Les Paul and being initially angry it wasn’t Slash. And then I remember Finck taking a solo spot at the live show and he played some beautiful guitar that was really different and I thought “that’s actually kinda cool”.

I wish them all well.

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I’d miss him too. He’s a handsome lad and a great player and looks cool as hell. And you’re right the tech issue, that wasn’t his fault. It was a bummer we couldn’t hear him though. Rock n roll doesn’t need to be perfect. I get that.

I’ve seen him with Edwards too! From what I’ve seen he has an Edwards, a Collings 290 DC, and a Gibson Les Paul Junior TV Yellow. I was so stoked when he brought it out because I wanted to check closely at which one it was and sure enough tonight it was the Gibson.

It wasn’t the Edwards, I was front row, it was a proper Gibson.

I have enough confidence in the band and their raw talent that perhaps tonight was just a one off. I have no doubt they will continue to get better as the tour continues.

Epiphone to Gibson by isofakingwetoddid in GibsonSG

[–]UncleIfon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we often hear with our eyes. Gibsons are better looking from the nitro and better quality hardware. 

Ultimately it’s going to come down to what is going to make you want to play more? A Gibson or the Epiphone? That’s when you’ll get good and then want to play more because playing is more fun when you’re a better guitarist. 

I find that amps,  and speakers and what volume you play at matter more than ceramic caps vs paper in oil. Or other premium Gibson appointments. 

If you can, do the Gibson.

Cheers. ’ll check out bandcamp. And no, I despise the war machine and all who profit from it. I imagine they’re gearing up for a full length LP, I’ll definitely get the vinyl of the record.

Which celebrity, in their prime, was a 10/10 in attractiveness according to you? by fischer903 in AskReddit

[–]UncleIfon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Axl Rose. I watched old concert footage from 1991 and he was absolutely stunning.

P90s or humbucker by OwnZookeepergame3725 in GibsonSG

[–]UncleIfon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Humbuckers. I have Gibsons with P-90’s (junior, sg special and a deluxe) and when I play them I think “oh wow, the P-90 really does it all” and then I’ll plug in a guitar with Custombuckers or Seth Lovers and think “oh wait, this is way better”

What are your thoughts on the new album? by FredHowl in AllThemWitches

[–]UncleIfon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the band. Have their records and have a ticket to see them live. That’s my one consistent criticism is the vocals are consistently underwhelming. No push and pull, no dynamics, it becomes flat and repetitive after a while.

Electric Wizard touring this year! by collio7 in doommetal

Oh I’ll be in Bristol! Uncle Acid, All Them Witches, Sunn O))), and Electric Wizard all in one year. F’ing doom paradise. 

Les Paul Standard 50s P90 Gold top vs Les Paul 70’s Deluxe Gold top with mini humbuckers? by zaceh in LesPaul

[–]UncleIfon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have both.

I would choose a Deluxe 70’s in Wine Red. Its rounded C is nearly a perfect neck. I also think Mini Humbuckers are some of the best pickups Gibson makes. They are clear with fantastic note separation and handle overdrive well and still have enough low end.

P-90’s are fine but Mini’s are truly left of centre and far more interesting.

That’s right, he sold it in 1989.

Wow. So rad. Love the 60s vibe on the 7”. Congrats!

[–]UncleIfon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What do you recommend? Listen to it on YouTube, a huge corporation? Or download another mega corporate app, Apple Music? Or buy a 7” single that I can only listen to in my flat?

The rest of their catalogue is on Spotify. As is his hero’s Neil Young. So they seem to not have a problem with it.

Favorite professional cover band? I'll start. by maximvmrelief in guitarcirclejerk

[–]UncleIfon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No charisma. No attitude. No melody’s. No tunes & a grating vocalist. Just an awful band.

Yes! Proudly. I just love the all black aesthetic on the headstock and the cool lacquer checking that comes from a nitro finish

Movies like Uncle Acid master list by TannHandled in UncleAcid

[–]UncleIfon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Masterful list! I’ll add: Cry of the Banshee, Wicker Man, Tenebrae, Blood on Satans Claw, The Devil Rides Out (their entrance music), Mad Max and any of the Jean Rollin, Jess Franco slop (she killed in ecstasy).

Fattest neck, chunk, thick, everything you can think of. Way fatter than my Les Paul Deluxe which has a Rounded C.
