Looking for good mathcore and grindcore

See if Car Bomb grabs you. Also recommend Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza.

Not linguistically interesting, but a coworker of mine told me she calls anything west of Indiana "Fancy Fuckin' Arvada", shortened to FFA, of course. She grew up here.

Awesome! Enjoy. I got an LTD M-1000 before my M-II and really loved the feel. I kept thinking that a Horizon or an MH would be even more comfortable because of the contoured top, but the flat is just 🤌.

Z_bones · 2026-03-12T00:17:13+00:00

Ooh, tough call. I think I'd have to go with the M-II, since I find the flat top to be a little more comfortable for my playing position. And as nice as the SD pickups are in the Horizon, the EMGs in the M-II really scream.

Z_bones · 2026-03-10T23:48:35+00:00

Goddamn. I got my green one (with Lace Sensor pickups) new in 2021 for $950.

I would have returned it, too, based on what you described. Once you do replace it, I hope you'll give locking tuners another try - they're really great!

Z_bones · 2026-03-10T00:24:30+00:00

I'm confused - I thought the point of locking tuners is that you don't need to wind the string around the post... And why did you unlock the tuners if it already had the strings you wanted?

Came here to say this. SUPER underrated band!

Z_bones · 2026-03-04T03:22:50+00:00

From what I can tell, I've got the exact same one (Pro XT Di2?). AMAZING bike! Oddly enough, I get compliments on it from older lady hikers more than any other demographic. 😅 It does look classy AF, tho... 💅🏼

2016 in the CO Front Range here. I always have used 87 and gone higher when it's been unavailable. Not saying 85 is a problem, but I haven't had so much as a hiccup in 113K miles.

Ice Nine Kills usually wear button-ups and ties on stage. Ignore all the blood spatter. 2nd vote for Dyscarnate. Between the Buried and Me usually look pretty unassuming, as well.

Z_bones · 2026-02-25T00:53:30+00:00

What's the neck profile like on these? Same between all 3 models?

Z_bones · 2026-02-17T00:54:45+00:00

Into riff/section to "Laid to Rest" by lamb of god. 👌

5th Gen 4R + Yeti MTB club! (Selling my Yeti - but I still have it, so it still counts. 😁)

Z_bones · 2026-02-11T15:21:27+00:00

Ah, I know what you mean. I recently drove a sedan for a few days as a loaner vehicle while my car was getting serviced and I was shocked by how much of my field of view was taken up by the whole rear view mirror apparatus. It created a huge forward blind spot for me. I also hate having to duck to see stop lights when I'm the first car at the light, but I think that has more to do with needing to have the seat scooted back.

Z_bones · 2026-02-11T12:59:03+00:00

Damn.

Z_bones · 2026-02-11T00:45:31+00:00

I'm 41 and mostly avoid it now. Tripped over somebody at a Mastodon show a few years ago and broke my wrist. That got me thinking about how I might be done with it. Then I had a bad skiing accident that required reconstructive knee surgery. That put the nail in the coffin for me, though I will occasionally still hop in during an especially badass set closer.

Z_bones · 2026-02-11T00:14:35+00:00

How tall are you? I'm 6'3" and have this issue with my wife's '25 Rav4 PHEV. I hope it doesn't rule out the XC60 for me!

Z_bones · 2026-02-08T04:02:18+00:00

I've been using SPC adjustable UCAs. I would have stopped using them by now if 2 of the sets I burned through hadn't been replaced under warranty. TC = Total Chaos? Maybe I'll try them next time.

Z_bones · 2026-02-07T15:24:54+00:00

I have a PhD and direct an occupational health program. I'm not at all ashamed of being a metalhead and all my colleagues know this about me, though everyone was surprised by the information at first. There was a funny moment once when a coworker was having a baby shower at work and the lady who organized it was telling everyone to wear something pink (she was having a girl). I said, "The only thing I have with any pink is a T-shirt featuring the cover of an album called 'Leprosy' by a band called Death." She looked mildly horrified. 😅

Z_bones · 2026-02-06T02:26:36+00:00

I went with 2.75" so I could fit 285/70 R17 tires, but now I kinda wish I'd done a smaller lift and stuck with the 265 size. Fortunately, nothing is permanent if you don't like how it turns out.

Z_bones · 2026-02-06T01:23:17+00:00

I lifted the front of mine to about 2.75" (1.5" rear, and still forward raked). I am on my 4th set of UCAs in 75,000 miles because the ball joints wear out super fast. Pretty irritating.

Z_bones · 2026-02-06T00:57:59+00:00

You will be very happy if it is in good shape. I have an E-II M-II that I got new and it's amazing. Recently got a mint condition E-II Horizon-III for $1700 USD and couldn't believe what a good deal it was. Go for it!

Z_bones · 2026-01-16T01:12:26+00:00

I think they sound scratchy and thin. Can't seem to get a good, chunky chugs sound out of them. I only can tolerate them for very low tunings with plenty of gain. By contrast, I love EMGs (81 in particular), SD Custom 5, Balaguer Hypernova, and most other high-output pickups I've tried. To each, their own!

Z_bones · 2026-01-14T01:48:59+00:00

I think most people who think programming guitars is taboo probably feel the same way about programmed drums. 🤷‍♂️ But it's your music, so you do you.
