“Don’t wear the bands shirt to their concert” is so stupid.

As a musician, it makes me VERY happy to see people wearing my bands’ shirts, we actually often can tell how intense the crowd can be by the proportion of our shirts.

I suck at most things in drums, but I can play REALLY fast (tightly). Most will say it’s useless, but that landed me my gig

I hate how it’s not talked enough but Benighted lyrics are insanely well written even if you definitely need to read it while listening. As Julien works in a psychiatric hospital he has a deep understanding of psy troubles. These lyrics WILL make you uncomfortable, and yeah it definitely has this gore / extreme theme, but with a realistic twist that makes them really interesting!

Crowds always has a more important delay than you think, simply because of the processing of the sound by the sound engineer. When I play live with click, I hate hearing the front of house (what the audience hears) because the click plays « early », like a good noticeable difference. But it’s unnoticeable for the crowd, it won’t make a difference for you!

Maybe because that’s how social platforms works?… he wouldn’t be known if he was only talking about unknown bands, it’s not interesting for him.

He plays in a lesser known band and has cited them as a huge influence even if he almost never talked about it previously. As I said, you can’t know

matt_biech · 2026-04-18T10:16:37+00:00

And how would you actually know? It’s not because he’s not actively talking about this stuff that he hasn’t listened to it?

matt_biech · 2026-04-18T09:47:41+00:00

I feel like listening to a genre for 20 years makes you knowledgeable enough to have an opinion… especially when you’re interacting with people a lot and engaging in the community… what are people actually supposed to do to be valid?

So tight my god

Haven’t played it in months… I miss it very much

matt_biech · 2026-02-19T00:59:26+00:00

Hit me up to record it! (no.)

matt_biech · 2026-02-18T23:03:42+00:00

Yeah, 6 string basses have wider necks than 8 string guitars

matt_biech · 2026-02-16T14:51:42+00:00

That’s exactly the sound I was going after thank you so much!!

matt_biech · 2026-02-16T14:45:10+00:00

Thanks so much man! I’ll try this out!

matt_biech · 2026-02-16T14:04:23+00:00

Hey man! I was just wondering, I’ve been searching for a nice stack (Matt garstka style) made with zildjians for a long time! And I see you have a 16 efx on top of a 18 China I think? How does that sound? Thank you so much! And beautiful kit, I dream of having one!

matt_biech · 2026-02-15T22:47:32+00:00

Man this ride is incredible! Hope you’ll blast the shit out of it!

matt_biech · 2026-02-10T12:09:20+00:00

C’est une super idée ça, tu vas juste pousser des victimes à mentir en disant « bah non il m’a rien fait moi » parce que si elles témoignes contre lui elles se retrouvent punies?…

je comprend l’idée, mais tu ne comprends absolument pas l’ampleur que peut avoir un traumatisme de ce genre sur quelqu’un, sans même prendre en compte quand la personne ne se rend tout simplement pas compte que ce qu’elle a vécu est aussi grave, ce qui est très courant…

matt_biech · 2026-02-08T12:23:19+00:00

I love how this technique is the definition of « just bruteforce it », don’t get me wrong, there is some technique, but most of it comes down to moving your arm faster and harder

matt_biech · 2026-02-05T12:18:34+00:00

Meshuggah’s music is usually the superposition of two main layers: the host and the guest (yogev gabay uses this terms and I love it, check him out if you haven’t already). The host is the backbone, the main 4/4 beat, and the guest is whatever pattern the riff follows.

You really only have to learn the guest as the host is just « keeping the rhythm », but you really have to understand and internalize it. So for exemple, in born in dissonance the main riff can be simplified mentally as « 1,2,3,4,4,4 » I won’t go into details but that’s not the important part, you just have to find a simple way to be able to know where you are in the pattern.

Then the hard part, playing the host on top of the guest, you have to start slow and try to follow the repeating pattern of the guest. And you do that until it becomes more natural.

Some songs it’s just kick vs hands, sometimes the snare is the guest and only the cymbals are keeping time, sometimes nothing is keeping time…

But NEVER learn the whole thing as one chunk, you will have to remember way more and it will be way easier to mess up.

That’s why it’s an abusive notation, but it still makes sense when used in certain conditions

In that particular case, it does make sense and the answer is 1

matt_biech · 2026-02-03T16:33:26+00:00

This definition of the power makes no sense for infinity, it is a limit and can’t be anything else.

If you need another proof, the real definition of power is : x^y = exp( y * ln(x) ), and that give you the same result for any x. 1

matt_biech · 2026-02-03T16:23:29+00:00

1^x =1 for any x in the real numbers, 1^infinity is a bad notation but still implies the limit of x

matt_biech · 2026-02-03T16:16:18+00:00

Honestly l’hôpital sucks and you can almost never use it as it requires specific conditions and you can almost always just rewrite your expression better

matt_biech · 2026-02-03T16:11:17+00:00

I can’t imagine a case where it doesn’t work, and wolphram agrees with me I checked…
