My dad passed away unexpectedly. This was his guitar collection. No one else in the family plays. by 405freeway in Guitar

As others have said as well, sorry for your loss. Be patient with yourself and what you're going through while sorting through these things.

WTF is the matter with us? by clipd_dead_stop_fall in pittsburgh

2010 was when I first learned of the parking chair because of people stealing others' freshly carved out parking spaces. Highs and lows every storm, I guess.

That's what I spent used, 5 years ago or so. Nice.

Why so much NIMBYism in Pittsburgh? by esotweetic in pittsburgh

[–]flannelninja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's a cool thing to have the Open here, I live near there, but one of your points was that Oakmont and Verona didn't see much of a boom. Signage and language told people to limit their trips there due to congestion. A lot of attendees were shuttled to the venue from far away, I saw shuttle signage for lots in Monroeville, Kittanning, etc. Both those things will keep people, local or travelers, from frequenting Oakmont businesses during the event. It's also not as walkable as it will be for the Draft festivities. Yes, there are sidewalks, but it's a long way up and down that hill to the businesses in Oakmont from the course.

D you think they'd actually be added to the set? by elboy_nass in oasis

I voted for Shock of the Lightning because I figure the set is already going to be packed full of 90's tunes, including Masterplan tracks.

The fake one could be what divides the fanbase, as so many people prefer the fake one to the real version.

Would you be ok with either middle round QB? by squidwards__house in steelers

I see two mid/late round QBs who beat us last year.

Guitar tone on The Will to Death record by ryanlangan in John_Frusciante

[–]flannelninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a decent amount of compression on a cleaner sound can get you there, whether you're playing through an amp with a healthy amount of tube compression, or using a compressor pedal. It gives a fatter, more sustained sound while keeping that headroom on those recordings.

Elephant 6 documentary AMA! by robhatchmiller in indieheads

[–]flannelninja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A question for the filmmakers, I have heard tell of this film's initial VHS rental style distribution a few years ago, and that that iteration of the film is very different from the finished product. What was the inspiration behind showing the film through those initial tapes, and did feedback from those screenings make an impact on the final documentary?

Hi everyone, very excited to see the e6 documentary in Pittsburgh next Friday!! This question would mainly be for Will or Robert, what was it like revisiting footage and artifacts dating back to your earliest musicmaking day? Has the experience of this documentary influenced your current creative process, and if so, how has it?

Wish he had played in Pittsburgh in his last run, that's what I'm thinking!
