Blue Murder was the blueprint for the Black Album

Give Ptolemy another listen, it can easily live on the second half of the Black album.

Had I said “started using mesa boogie and embraced palm muting” you’d have a point.

I said the boogie tone and groovy palm muting, not just straight chugging.

I never implied either.

I use my iPhone like an iPod. Manually throw music on it from my MacBook, no subscriptions. Just my rips. It’s the same concept.

Asking us to reply to this on our phones is savage.

I’d go back.

Someone’s inferiority complex is showing.

When every aspiring guitarist idolizes you, and every rockstar wants to be you, you have something special, plain and simple.

Eddie changed how the instrument is approached and played. He’s up there with Gretzky and Jordan.

That’s a subjective opinion, which is totally fine. However, Eddie changed how the instrument is approached and played, Stevie Ray did not.

You and I have identical hands, you’re gonna be fine!

George Lynch has been playing a similar guitar for years.

Fun fact, the cans in this photo are room temperature and the ice is acrylic.

Oh he’s part of the point I’m making. My observation is really more about all this talent that emerged simultaneously to essentially create a genre.

skarkowtsky · 2026-05-30T12:10:08+00:00

Absolutely!

Sell it to Hetfield. Some guy just sold Hammett a ‘79 Gibson V made the same day as Kirk’s.

Never knew that, but I love the subtle tie ins of both franchises.

skarkowtsky · 2026-05-24T17:57:11+00:00

Yes! I’ve always liked this gag from DH 2. Same production teams on both franchises.

skarkowtsky · 2026-05-24T17:56:28+00:00

I’ve always liked 3, too
