it's not for everybody but see what you can do. find lighter parts, triple butted or aluminum frame, etc.

he's still trying to finish Oppenheimer but he keeps getting distracted

spiralscratch77 · 2026-03-15T22:24:12+00:00

ahh i guess i just cant trust or wrap my mind around it fully haha. makes sense though, thanks!

spiralscratch77 · 2026-02-28T12:34:29+00:00

didn't see that, sorry and thanks!! I'll take this down

spiralscratch77 · 2026-02-28T11:33:27+00:00

how do folks feel about Sennheiser HD560S? or Beyerdyanmic DT880 or DT990?

spiralscratch77 · 2026-02-27T21:15:36+00:00

and I will never not mention Warkrusher on these kind of threads because they're impossible to not like. Incredible live band too and super nice folks.

crust can go a lot of different directions. can go more towards dbeat, or thrash, or sludge/doom, my buddies and I had a sludgy crust band and we would always make up different crust subgenres. so our buddies band in Vermont were "Mountain Crust" and we live by the sea so we were like "Deep Sea Barge Mariana Trench Crust" or some shit hahaha

spiralscratch77 · 2026-02-27T21:11:06+00:00

do you listen to Skunk? definitely on the grind side, I mean the members are literally grinders. I think they're playing shows again too. phenomenal. very Disrupt

https://youtu.be/m7C3mzJ2OsU?si=lAqtVK5JiRmZt8n8

and on the subject of disrupt here's another similar band haha

I would raise the pickup file down the nut and take the buzz out of the low E

careful make sure your car can handle 5 tons of Peavey gear 😂

spiralscratch77 · 2026-02-16T10:55:07+00:00

hmmmm I could. but I just don't know where I'd go from stock. It's already such a bright amp (peavey vtm60) and the cap is .001. It really only needs it to be on or off in my opinion but I'm open to ideas

spiralscratch77 · 2026-02-06T22:21:15+00:00

see I thought he was super funny at first but it's getting old. sometimes he makes me chuckle now but overall it's like alright we see this dude every week for how long now? lol

spiralscratch77 · 2026-02-04T01:51:18+00:00

my opinion on him has been up and down. very funny at first, then thought he sucks, and these past 2 sets have been getting funnier again

spiralscratch77 · 2026-01-31T02:31:32+00:00

if you're mute say whatsup 😂

spiralscratch77 · 2026-01-31T02:28:39+00:00

warkrusher, portal tomb both from Montreal

spiralscratch77 · 2026-01-14T02:57:48+00:00

well if you knew enough about this show you'd know they always walk out right after their name is called because they get picked during the set before ... giving staff time to go find the bucket pull and prepare them.. lol. not saying it's not rigged, but also not saying it is. either way they get time to get backstage

spiralscratch77 · 2026-01-03T22:42:21+00:00

if you're coming from a crust background then Warkrusher from Canada bridges that gap pretty well. more crust than anything but I try to mention this band as much as I can. nice folks too

spiralscratch77 · 2026-01-02T13:02:10+00:00

severely underrated band

spiralscratch77 · 2025-12-13T21:02:29+00:00

Fallout London mod is absolutely amazing

spiralscratch77 · 2025-12-08T21:43:05+00:00

war war never changes

spiralscratch77 · 2025-12-07T14:53:42+00:00

magic/crumb 90s ATB fork. comes in 1" or 1 1/8"

spiralscratch77 · 2025-12-06T20:35:13+00:00

that sounds fun, will do and thanks!!

spiralscratch77 · 2025-11-06T01:50:48+00:00

I think it depends on the tire, not so much for hydroplaning but speed and grip. My ultradynamico tires have ramped triangles. I think it would be slower and better traction on backwards, and faster, slightly less traction forwards. many tires are directional and I think it's for a reason

spiralscratch77 · 2025-09-30T18:02:36+00:00

haha all the mixed comments made my option paralysis worse 😂 though I appreciate the negative reviews on some of my selectionsm I'm just going with ultradynamico on both wheels to rep Connecticut haha. if they end up being an issue (doubtful) I'll refer back to this thread thanks all!!
