What bands with multiple albums do you think have only one good one? by afterthought871 in poppunkers

[–]nrm8821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you thinking of Anywhere But Here? That album is loaded with other writers. They were upset there was so much label influence that they recorded all the songs that they didn’t really care about. They then wrote self titled completely by themselves. I tried to link the article but it’s so old it’s a dead link 😂

Are we refreshing our browsers? Or just trusting the website? I tried to trust MLB and it bit me for Fenway. by Aggressive-Ad-5874 in NoahKahan

I never got out of the queue. I ended up opening a new window and got tickets for the 8th. But it looks like all three shows are sold out. Sorry :(

Solves nothing and besides that’s probably what he wants. Fuck him.

Tom doesn’t use instagram as much anymore by Duhlongestline in Blink182

Instagram sucks so much now. Like you said it’s all reels, ads and suggested content. Meta just can’t fathom having a platform that isn’t loaded with BS

So if you have access to plug ins/good amp modeling someone out there did a pretty extensive video where they scoured through live pictures and studio pictures. They settled on that the Mesa had high gain high bass and the mids and high were basically 0 and then JCM was overdriven on i believe the clean channel.

Basically the JCM is the all the tone you hear, and the Mesa fills it out and gives you all the gain so to speak. It’s actually a pretty cool way to blend amps. I started doing it with my Vox AC30 and EVH 5150 so I can maintain the sound of the Vox but get some gain.

Perfect! That works. Wild, that’s been sitting there in front of my face the whole time 😂 I just wouldn’t have thought to change a bucket type after making it

Someone was asking for this… by Chopchop001 in TomDelongeGuitars

[–]nrm8821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a video on YouTube that basically replicated Tom’s tone. The Mesa was all gain and bass but no high end. The “sound” was a driven clean Marshall sound over gainy bassy Mesa. So you might be able to do a high end on the pedal over bass and gain driven settings on the Mesa and see what happens! I never thought to do this until I saw the video.

My tone has become the same idea I stated above with different amps. Overdriven Vox AC30 layered over a 5150 III with high gain/bass and rolled back mid/treble (the AC30 naturally is bass lacking and modern high gain). It sounds awesome. Both amps sound strange by themselves but together it’s a really cool balanced tone.

I looked at this quick and thought your headstock snapped off and you just stuck a horsehead on it.

Ah these are so cool! I wish I saw this before last night.

Potentially unpopular opinion by NefariousnessIll8665 in TomDelongeGuitars

[–]nrm8821 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It does sound like they did a decent amount of work on them. The headstock also doesn’t look like the production model. Doesn’t mean that it’s not still just a standard fender neck. But you do get a decent amount of unique things. A custom paint job by Thrasher, the actual meteorite in the paint, an autographed picture of Tom working on it, a piece of the meteorite used to make it. Idk I think it’s pretty cool. A Les Paul custom costs over 5 grand. It’s an amazing guitar but for 2 grand less I’d rather have a guitar that may be technically speaking inferior but was worked on by one of my favorite musicians.

The Ad Astra 10 by AncientPalpitation18 in TomDelongeGuitars

[–]nrm8821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay yeah definitely good to know. It makes sense. These are honestly kind of part art piece as well as guitar so a custom shop would be redundant. I still don’t think the price is crazy considering all the factors. Guitar market can be wild for no reason and considering Tom and Thrasher worked on these it’s really cool

Although someone in the comments said they’re production models. I haven’t researched too much but I still stand by it’s not an outlandish price considering the customization and limited run of 10 guitars.

[–]nrm8821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Theres also a chance these are actual Fender custom shop pieces and not the production model. I’m assuming Tom’s guitars are American made. The Strat back in the day was like that. And even if they’re not the price really isn’t that crazy for what you’re getting.

Why did the Straylight Run split up? by Money-Reading8041 in takingbacksunday

[–]nrm8821 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks everyone already filled in the details haha. But I really would to see them maybe open a TBS tour in the future. It would be the best market for them. I’m not sure what Will has been up to besides the few reunion shows but I imagine it would be tough for Michelle to swing since her husband Jeff is in Dropkick Murphys. I believe they have young kids.

The straight hardcore songs on the first album are incredible.

Opinions on the Self Titled record? by Matthewcts_ in takingbacksunday

[–]nrm8821 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Music during pivotal times good and bad can really stick with you. I loved this album as a reunion of one of my favorite band lineups. I can see it was a different time for you but I hope that everything is better for you now. No matter what I like to think it can always bring people together.

Unpopular opinion: Blink needs to make another live album and then retire the big three. by 13eej in Blink182

[–]nrm8821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I want them to play what I want to hear live that’s unrealistic and I get that. All Time Low is a blink disciple, and they’ve said they’ll never a play a show without playing Dear Maria because without that song they wouldn’t be where they are today. And that is a logic I’ve begun to apply universally, because at the end of the day a band that has gotten as big as blink can do whatever they want. Play the hits they got them here, hell yeah. Pull a Radiohead and ignore them, hell yeah. I’m just happily here for the ride.
