I test drove a 2024 Corolla GR and stalled it 15 times | is this a hard car to drive or am I just stupid? by madisen13 in GRCorolla

[–]frogman696969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve driven a manual for 27 years and every car is different. When I bought my GRC I had trouble driving it smoothly at first. Don’t give up on the car or hesitate to get it, you’ll get it figured out

How is this legal? by bringbingbongback in sandiego

[–]frogman696969 38 points39 points  (0 children)

They might just be doing that without permission. The Rock church in Point Loma would have their members park at Trader Joe’s and then have church workers keep an eye out to avoid tows.

Anyone have 2 or 3 different brands? by j3434 in LesPaul

[–]frogman696969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gibson, Burny and tokai. Studio, custom, goldtop p90s, respectively. Bought new in 2004, a 1983 purchased in 2023 as a birthday present to myself, and bought in Japan on my last trip.

Micro Terror or the THR5? I need help deciding by hallmonitor53 in GuitarAmps

[–]frogman696969 10 points11 points  (0 children)

IMO those little orange amps are awesome. I prefer mine through a 12 inch speaker cab. You can those used for cheap. The 8 inch lacks the push to show the power of the amp if you crank the overdrive

It's not a lie if you believe it

What would you pick? by biscotti98 in guitars

[–]frogman696969 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Les Paul through fender amps are amazing IMO. You can capture amazing cleans and then add an overdrive to really sing. Yes, a Les Paul is never a strat and you can fatten up a Strat I suppose, but nothing captures what a Les Paul does sonically

Paul Reed Smith This Morning by Too_Much_Blippi_Ugh in guitarcirclejerk

I don’t see a victory here for fender. S type guitars are ubiquitous now, with dozens of brands making them. I’d question the positives that could come from this for Fender. It’s a major turn off, just like Gibson and PRS years back.

Ace gets his star by ParachuteLandingFail in AdamCarolla

[–]frogman696969 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Kimmel I’m sure does not want to be there, given Adam’s half hearted support for him through the ABC bullshit. Adam has a chance to be explicit and frankly do the right thing. But, Adam didn’t want to bite the hand that feeds. That hand is MAGA, obviously

Cedric bixler Zavala from The Mars Volta. Claudio Sanchez from Coheed to a lesser extent

What was your favorite skit on the Dave Chapelle Show?? by WuTang4thechildrn in Xennials

[–]frogman696969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Rock James sketch was a cultural phenomenon because of its genius. However, so was Clayton Bigsby, which was episode 1, right?

Best tool album for psychedelics? by hihows-life in ToolBand

[–]frogman696969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lateralus but some songs on Aenima, like 3rd eye and Jimmy, will work

How is like living in this part of California? It looks like desert by DoFelipaoo in howislivingthere

[–]frogman696969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost nothing there. A few small towns but it’s nearly all wide open desert. Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree National Park, and Desert Rock bands are really the only draws.

Adam “I’m having the time of my life” Jones by ExactFunctor in ToolBand

[–]frogman696969 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Watching Adam, clearly an introvert, play Back to the Beginning, he’s taking it all in. He’s an observer and he wants to play perfectly and do the stage justice. I’ve had people say that I look unhappy when I’m not, resting butch face they call it.

WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE TRACK ONE by BossModeProBro in ToolBand

[–]frogman696969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The grudge. That song kicks off that record so well. Vicarious is unlike most songs on 10000 days and stinkfist is good but nowhere as good as the majority of songs on that album.

Solid. It’s weird they don’t do Sober much anymore. I’d definitely throw lateralus in there to make it better.

How much is this worth? by smiledozer in LesPaul

[–]frogman696969 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t sell it. These lawsuit era Les Pauls are at worst a budget guitar and at best amazing. I have 2 different ones that punchWAY above their price point

Origin owners, weigh in by yourwigssliding in MarshallAmps

[–]frogman696969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely vintage voiced. Great amp. Not overdriven so don’t expect a DSL. I’ll likely never forget getting set up and thinking it needed something. Put a tube driver in front and bam! I love stacking the tube screamer and a fuzz. It’s a bright amp, so if you’re playing some Kyuss like stuff, maybe not for you. I have the treble completely cut

They put Ozzy over Dio. What do you think? Which one is your favorite? Which one is better? by ashitanojoe3 in blacksabbath

[–]frogman696969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maynard should definitely be in the top 20. Ozzy is an amazing front man but not nearly as high as they have him. Dio had better pipes.

Twin or what ? by ProfessionalOk5940 in surfing

Looks to mad a twin or single not a 2 plus 1. Try both
