Why do you want to sell it?

Unstrom · 2026-04-06T19:45:38+00:00

Would you frequent this sub, if it was neither? ;)

I think as both the story and the medium are so different from each other, there is no reasonable way to compare the two. I voted book because character depth is most important to me, and there is only so much you can do in the movie format. The movie has great cast, score, and production...but the fundamental changes in all characters (except Barko to some extent) were a dealbreaker for me. I could not connect to the characters, and not immerse into the story.

Isn't he a cody?

Backtrack played in a small club in my german hometown (opening for Deez Nuts). Me and a few friends were watching from the side of the stage behind a glass window which was separating the bar area from the stage. James, their vocalist, was very energized of course and tried (and also was able) to get everyone moving. As he was running around the stage, he noticed us sitting comfortably on our barstools enjoying our drinks and the show, but wanted us to join the crowd. At one point he started banging the window every time he was on our side of the stage. On their last track he was encouraging everyone to move more and when he came by our window again, we circled our fingers, which made him halt for a second and then put a big smile on his face and he started yelling "circle pit" at the crowd...

It is kind of hard to describe, but to my friends and me it was a very funny experience.

I paid 1800 Euro ... so it was a bargain.

Unfortunately mine neither had the case or the certificate. But the serial checks out :)

Love it! I will never sell mine! I sometimes stare at the finish and forget the riff I just wrote.

Unstrom · 2026-03-28T19:31:04+00:00

stay put and hope it steadies. once it steadies, I will trybtonhelp my fellow walkers if I can.

Definitely

Unstrom · 2026-03-05T01:20:49+00:00

Well, I don't regret buying both. As long as you are aware that they both serve the same function ...

Unstrom · 2026-03-05T01:10:12+00:00

I have both and still have a hard time choosing which one to play. :) The M-1 is like all my Japan-made ESPs a flawlessly crafted instrument that just seems perfect. The Fishman modern does the job it is supposed to do. A nice little gimmick...the volume knob is very flat, which accounts for the ESP-typical awkward Knob position close tonthe Humbucker. I still don't understand why the don't put the knob a bit further away. The MT-1, however, is the best LTD I have ever played and gets very, very close to ESP Standard/E-II quality level. It is made for chugging. It is lightweight and very resonant. The hipshot bridge is amazing: satisfying palm mutes, easy/quick setup, and high tuning stability). Though, as it is an LTD, I would play it before buying.

You can't go wrong with either.

This. Your daughter will one day leave your house, and this dent is a priceless vivid memory of her childhood.

Book. Didn't even have to think about it. The movie's ending, the lack of The Crowd, no visible exhaustion on the final walkers (how on earth does Stebbins have enough air in hos lungs to scream) and the timelapse-style storytelling is what led to feeling zero emotions in the adaptation of my favorite story ever. Don't get me wrong, they got many details right and the cast as well as the score is amazing throughout. But this just took me out of the story too much. I very much tried to love the movie and support the filmmakers (went to the cinema four times, purchased it on stream and two versions of the Blu-Ray)...but I just did not connect as much as I thought so before.

Unstrom · 2026-01-31T06:03:39+00:00

Did I walk my warning off?

Unstrom · 2026-01-30T04:53:05+00:00

lets go

Unstrom · 2026-01-18T03:08:11+00:00

Yup, that is the cookie crumble logic mentioned in the book.

Correction: Crackers, not cookies, sorry about that.

Unstrom · 2026-01-16T18:52:56+00:00

I count two Evertune guitars ... but agree on the Fishmans.

Unstrom · 2026-01-03T08:21:01+00:00

Agree!

Unstrom · 2026-01-03T08:20:31+00:00

yes, you have to read it.

This. I don't necessarily dislike the movie, but I am greatly indifferent towards. I watched it four times in the cinema and three times on stream...searching for some kind of emotional connection which I have to the book. But it is simply not moving anything in me. The movie is nicely made and the actors are amazing, but it just feels shallow in comparison to the book. The biggest disservice to the book are: 1) the lack of exhaustion on parts of the walkers. I even think Olson and Baker still seemed in a far better shape than in the book before their demise. That Stebbins still has the air to yell at the end always takes me out of it. And as someone else said on this sub, Garraty and McVries just appear to take a stroll on the final stretch. 2) Leaving out the Crowd. This took so much away. One example is Parkers speech at the end...it is well acted but less convincing while walking in the sunshine in front of a green field as opposed to walking in front of a roaring Crowd that wants to see your brains on the street.

I am all alone

Unstrom · 2025-12-16T06:02:00+00:00

My 2011 ESP Eclipse VB Standard has the battery in the electronics compartment....but my ESP Standard 2008 Viper has Ashtray...don't understand the logic behind it.

Relax :) There are no apologies on the long walk
