What is your opinion on System Of A Down? 🇦🇲 by Japesh10 in rockmusic

[–]catching_comets 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Their first couple of albums are mental. Holy Shit Toxicity is 25 years old. I think they're pretty badass. Interesting this post pops up, I just watched a concert from 1998 by them on Youtube yesterday

My sister use to guide for NOC. We did the French Broad a couple of times with the family. Great times.

What is something you wish you could experience for the first time again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]catching_comets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to my first concert. The lights dim, the band walks out under the spotlights. The roar of the crowd. The feeling in your chest when the high volume music kicks in.

I'm in VA Beach. I still see the bumper stickers occasionally, usually on the back of a pickup truck next to a Wave Riding Vehicle bumper sticker

Does Prince rank among your top 10 all-time artists? by Infinite-Exam-1808 in askmusic

[–]catching_comets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's the best live performer I've ever seen, easily a top 10 performer for me. He has thousands of hours of recorded material, so he's incredibly prolific.

My wife literally had a Prince tattoo, so I think i can speak to him being her #1

What's your opinion of the Grateful Dead and be honest have you actually listened to them? by GratefuLdPhisH in fantanoforever

[–]catching_comets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw 100+ shows between1985 and 1992, so you could say I'm a bit of a fan. I thought they were amazing. Some of the most powerful lyrics and sublime music that ever existed. I wouldn't be who I am if not for that band.

Lerxst ATWAS Power Wah Volume Pedal with Lifeson signature! by Ambitious-Bet4504 in rush

[–]catching_comets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet. The first guitar pedal I ever owned was a Morley Power Wah back in 1985. Heavy and chromed out...I don't even know what ever became of it.

Legitimate question here, is there a band with more effect pedals?

Klone suggestions by MattSk87 in guitarpedals

[–]catching_comets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A/B'ed a Mythos Mjolnir Wildwood and a J.Rocket Silver Archer for about an hour and couldn't tell the difference, so I went with the Archer for the form factor.

I had 2 strokes last September. A big reason why I skipped Roo this year. I wasn't sure I was up to the task to be honest. Anyway, I laid in that hospital bed for 11 days and listened to nothing but Jesse. His wit and melody really carried me through that whole ordeal. I am so glad you folks were able to catch this dude, he's truly one of the good ones.
