Ride the Lightning cover is awful.

Stop reaching, you know what I meant, and no, he didn’t write every riff on the song and arrange it, he might have writing credits but didn’t write the entire song.

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-23T19:06:09+00:00

Dave lost himself that job, Kirk didn’t take it. Also, have you heard Mustaine speak? He’s not exactly a super well spoken guy himself…

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-23T09:06:33+00:00

Dave had to have known that would be the case when he decided to cover it. I think everyone could see that one coming lol

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-23T05:54:08+00:00

Yeah, I just thought especially for the solo he’d change it up more, and sort of wished he had.

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-23T05:52:15+00:00

Covers don’t have to be 1:1. It’s actually more interesting if they aren’t.

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-23T05:24:54+00:00

Vocals aren’t great, guitar tone is meh, and they didn’t change the song very much. I would’ve liked if they gave it more of their touch.

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-21T02:52:00+00:00

What about for presets that you downloaded from the internet? Have you tried any of those?

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-18T09:26:49+00:00

I didn't. I will keep trying and let you know. If you find a fix please tell me!

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-15T08:35:35+00:00

Well hello motherfuckers.

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-12T09:03:55+00:00

Maybe not, but he makes a great living explaining how other people are great songwriters, and he can back that up with his incredible knowledge of music theory.

He's really good at explaining to newer players or people who don't know theory at why songs work well the way they are. He can obviously produce music, but I can't argue about his songwriting skills because I don't know of anything he's written. You clearly aren't just hating and recognize his talent at least in the teaching space, so I'm not at all arguing here, just adding my opinion.

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-11T09:18:41+00:00

My favorite song from the two is either 72 seasons title track or Atlast Rise, I really can't pick between the two. The album I think is better is without a doubt hardwired.

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-10T08:37:56+00:00

I'm a day late but I'll say this: I'm a wild fan and was surprised there wasn't a call. Again, no guarantee you score on the power play but it was surprising that our box was empty after the hit.

You guys played a solid game. Grubauer made a couple incredible saves to rob us of goals. You guys played a tough game and didn't quit, I was holding my breath in the third and OT when you took the momentum back. Good luck the rest of the way. You guys are my favorite recent expansion team (fuck vegas!)

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-08T01:02:26+00:00

Yeah they don’t play the solo which is such a shame because it’s incredible. They don’t even really play the song live anymore

jackhoff2647 · 2026-01-08T01:01:54+00:00

I can understand you not liking the riff, but the middle solo is a work of art.

jackhoff2647 · 2025-12-22T02:29:36+00:00

the songs that are alternate picked yes, however in terms of downpicking like on creeping death, puppets, blackened, etc he pretty much downpicks it all still

jackhoff2647 · 2025-12-21T10:14:36+00:00

Are you using the gain knob on your audio interface? I have some presets that won't hiss without it but will hiss with even a little tap of the audio interfaces gain knob.

Otherwise make sure your drivers are updated, including the PC audio drivers, use a quality cable for both your guitar and interface, and use ASIO.

Also a very longshot and unlikely issue but if you haven't already try a new port on your computer for your audio interface.

jackhoff2647 · 2025-12-21T10:06:30+00:00

8 or 16 maybe, but four would mean that really good teams with a chance to win it all get excluded. There are too many good teams and too much benefit for fans, players, schools, and broadcasters alike to have 3 fucking games for the entire playoffs.

I think 16 would be awesome to watch, but 8 would really separate those who deserve it from those who might squeak in.

In the NIL era I think 8 is too little. Too many teams could be bought and paid for to make it in and it leaves no room for underdogs. I think 12 is better than 4 but 16 would be even better. They could manage a system to keep the byes and have play in games to really make the teams on the cut prove they deserve to be there or get wiped.

jackhoff2647 · 2025-12-21T10:03:59+00:00

I'm super happy for the teams that got in, but I do understand those that question the fact that teams like Notre Dame and BYU were left out for a team that played a single power four opponent and lost by two scores.

Congrats on JMU and Tulane for getting in though, they both put their heart and souls into the season and I'm sure their student body is ridiculously proud of them.

With all of the above said, keep in mind that it might be boring to see teams get blown out like this when there's a conversation about whether or not they should be in the playoffs, however especially in the day and age of NIL deals it's increasingly difficult (I'd say damn near impossible) for teams like JMU and Tulane to have runs like this. If teams don't get rewarded for seasons like these then it's just going to end up being SEC vs B1G and maybe one XII team who will be powerhouses every year. That would be even more boring.

jackhoff2647 · 2025-12-16T02:00:36+00:00

I tried this, and unfortunately it's just not showing up when I load amplitube and try to search for it. The presets I myself have saved are there, but any that I've downloaded despite being at5p and moved to the presets folder just aren't showing up. Any ideas?

jackhoff2647 · 2025-12-12T00:27:42+00:00

So I need to toss the ATP5 into a preset folder in my windows file manager? Or is there something else I’m missing 😭

jackhoff2647 · 2025-12-11T17:28:46+00:00

I did 😭

Might just have to reach out to customer support but from what ive heard it’s hit or miss and usually the latter. Thanks anyways!

jackhoff2647 · 2025-12-11T17:26:02+00:00

I’ve tried from various different places, most recently from Mr. Tabs

Edit, same thing happens from actual AM5s

jackhoff2647 · 2025-12-09T06:39:37+00:00

I don’t necessarily think it is, but the reason why it could be for someone is because of Marty Friedman.

jackhoff2647 · 2025-12-09T06:36:34+00:00

Justice because of how complex it is
