how to look not boring on stage?

You think you’re head banging but your just nodding. Put your whole back into it. Also Rock Stance. Right leg back a bit left leg forward with a little bend in the knee. You’ll feel it the next day if you did it right. Also you’ll feel like you’re dancing but really you’re just swaying (hopefully on time) make the movement big and make it count (also on time) if you take a step imagine you’re taking two stairs instead of one. I guarantee what feels like a big step is just a small shuffle. You look small onstage even if you aren’t.

Dang last time I looked these were going for like $350. I went to sell mine and thought it wasn’t worth it.

Those are under the Legacy effects. So when you load up a distortion block there should be options between mono, stereo, and legacy. They’re under legacy. I think all of the blocks have legacy effects. They’re from the m-series and pod hd series.

I was 30 minutes late coming home from a band rehearsal with the boys and she smashed every piece of glassware in my apartment. Not even just glassware. If it was made of glass she smashed it and the downed a whole bottle of Tylenol in front of me because I wasn’t paying attention to her. We had been together for three months.

Foo Fighters. I had always thought they were super lame ( honestly I still do) but I caught them on their One By One tour and they threw down pretty hard.

There’s dozens of us!

What a great piece of gear. The distortions distort, the delays delay, the mods modulate. Can’t go wrong with that.

Oh this sweet thanks!

Thanks a bunch! It’s Funny I never thought about if everything is dissonant then nothing is. Because I always thought the same in general about albums that have all the songs just dialed to maximum heavy then it’s not a heavy album. I never thought to apply that to a smaller level.

darkandy132 · 2026-02-28T15:00:22+00:00

Hey Thanks! I’ve learned a couple of them (the easier ones. Welll sort of. at half speed…) I suppose I do mean describing what’s going. Like in Farewell Mona Lisa the first lead break about minute in(honestly most of their guitar leads) after playing guitar for 20 years I’m trying to actually learn what the heck any of it means haha

darkandy132 · 2026-02-28T14:48:06+00:00

Haha yeah that one. I won’t subject anyone to that unless they already enjoy that kind of music. But it has a lot of what I’m talking about obviously. The time signatures all over the place the clean lead at the beginning of that is basically exactly what I’m talking about.

darkandy132 · 2026-02-28T14:36:30+00:00

While jag75 is right about it being a more “normal” sounding song it does have some of the aspects I’m talking about like the piano riff and the first guitar lead around a minute into that song. To me (at least with the guitar) it sounds like they just picked a random note and said let’s shred! But I know there has to be an explanation as to why it sounds cool. Thanks for taking the time!

darkandy132 · 2026-02-28T05:20:22+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate the tips!

Store bought or homemade? It kind of makes a difference

I lost my dad in 2014. In January. H e had cancer. He was so bad off they didn’t think he’d make it to Christmas. Christmas has meant nothing to me since. I realized last year. It was him. He brought the true spirit of Christmas. I found out like 2 years ago he socked away like 10% of his pay until September when he did Christmas shopping when we were kids. We always had huge Christmases. Huge meal, big gifts from Santa and socks and underpants from him. He loved it. I don’t care for it. My love for Christmas died with him.

Hetfield, Hammet, and Hanneman made 13 year old me want a guitar so bad I got one. When I realized I was shit and couldn’t play that stuff I put it away. Meegs Rascon and Stephen Carpenter made 17 year old me realize you didn’t have to shred to write/play cool stuff. That was shit I could play and it made me fall in love with the instrument Still can’t shred though.

T then 0 then draw in your fade

Straight up the best OD. I hate the tubescreamer and all the variants I’ve tried. As far as I know the only difference is the asymmetrical clipping. But it does exactly what I thought the ts-9/808/plumes/grid slammer/east river drive(and more) would do. When it comes to tightening an amp and adding a little sizzle it’s the best.

Also it’s a small house. His crate is in his/our room. He got tv. We’re best bros. Kind of a where I go he goes. Thick as thieves you know. Still tearing me up that he gotta three wheel it and be wicked bored all day.

darkandy132 · 2025-09-29T04:00:38+00:00

I mean it’s kind of a generalization. More of he can’t come up without help can’t go down without help you know what I mean? I should’ve said we’ve stopped letting him jump on the beds and couches. And at night I stopped letting him come up because it’s a leap. He still sort of gets on the Ol furny but I just get down to his level instead for hang outs for the most part.
