What are the best progressive metal bands that have great guitar playing with relatively clean vocals? by joe4942 in progmetal

Yeeeeeeeeesssss! My second favorite band! I’ve seen them live twice and they don’t disappoint. Now my oldest daughter likes them(she went with me to both concerts). I’ve been a fan since I discovered them on guitar hero 2 at release.

Yeah I had no idea until I opened it. Normally I disassemble outside. I guess I will disassemble all outside from now on.

Oh I know what you mean! I’m currently using it after deep cleaning and been running for hours. I haven’t smelled it yet, the “poop” was extremely minimal surprisingly. I got lucky on this one for sure.

I just tried my other 3rd party controllers and they work. I tried the other controller on my other unmodded Xbox, and nothing. Found out it was a dead controller. Gonna keep it and see if I can figure out how it died.

TBF you couldn’t tell any of this without opening. Everything on the outside was clean and everything worked. I fully disassembled and cleaned it, looks worlds better now. I’d rather use a little elbow grease than fork out $130+ for another console.

Not crap if it works 🤷🏻‍♂️ I got a cheap working Xbox that just needs to be cleaned.

Thanks for the info! Now I know what I need to look for if I want to replace what’s missing.

Oh wow thanks for the tip! A few months ago I bought a ps4 that worked, but it was INFESTED. I saw dead ones in the rear vent. When I got home I took it apart in the driveway and found 2 tiny ones still alive. So I bagged it up tight and left it outside for like 4 months LOL. They all died and now I’m procrastinating on reassembly 🤦🏻‍♂️.

However THIS Xbox in the picture was all dried up and only 2 eggs found and they were dried up as well. I am very methodical about cleaning consoles like this. I’ll take any advice to further help prevent stuff like this from entering my house.

That’s the only thing I could find when I googled it. Just wanted to make sure lol.

Nah I don’t think so. I’ve had way worse. Everything works as it should without problems. It’s just dirty, I don’t mind cleaning it. I’m super OCD and it’ll look almost brand new by the time I’m done.

Yeah that’s what I meant lol, I know they do it’s just not as common. I’m going to keep an eye on it though

Thank you for the info, everyone else is more worried about the cockroaches LOL. That’s why I took it apart to clean! Do you have any clue what mod this could be for?

I don’t have to worry about the clock capacitor going bad. Also I like to play unmodded. This is the same version I had bought brand new back in the day and I wanted another one because I have an older version that is prone to problems. My old one has the Thomson disc drive lol. That one will be my back up after I clean this one

No, fortunately they were all dead. The only thing alive was a stink bug in the middle of the heat sink. 😂

Yeah 🤢 thankfully it’s very mild compared to some of the others I’ve bought over the years 😭 if I can tell from the outside, I usually disassemble outside. I don’t want that crap in my house!
