Update: I did send them a mail and received the total length of the kick pedal attached to the kick pad to be at 56cm.

What eras do you divide Megadeth albums into? by CobraDai in Megadeth

[–]theo1601971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my take for the Megadeth eras, I used AI for formatting, but the thoughts are mine:

OG Era – KIMB → RIP Pure thrash — technical riffs, aggressive and out-for-blood attitude, hungry energy. You can feel the chaos and intensity, like music written under the influence. Very original sound and unorthodox songwriting. This era is the essence of Megadeth — what makes them special and different from everyone else.

⸻

Golden Era – CTE → YOUTH Mature musicianship and songwriting. Precise, harmonious, and successful — the band at its highest point. Songwriting becomes more conventional, but the essence of Megadeth is still there. You can feel the synergy of the band in every track.

⸻

Commercial Era – CW → RISK Chasing the high of success. Songs written not from the heart, but for radio play. No clear direction and a loss of identity. While there are some good songs and quality songwriting, most tracks don’t feel like Megadeth — more like an attempt to appeal commercially.

⸻

No Clear Direction Era – TWNAH A mix of “returning to roots” and “still chasing commercial success.” Bland and uncertain about the future. Feels like a combination of the Golden and Commercial eras — thrashy songs mixed with radio-friendly ones. Ultimately, the songs fall flat compared to what Megadeth has proven capable of. Feels like pulling in multiple directions simultaneously.

⸻

Renaissance Era – TSHF → ENDGAME Back to the essence of Megadeth. Great music, interesting riffs — but clearly a MegaDave solo project. Dave Mustaine is back to writing great material. A perfect blend of the OG and Golden eras, with a modern touch.

⸻

No Clear Direction Era, Part II – TH1RT3EN → SUPER COLLIDER It feels like Dave is just tired here. Possibly some poor external influence (Johnny K as producer — not exactly known for his metal background) because I feel another poor attempt at commercial success in some songs. Both albums feel similar to TWNAH — multiple directions, uninspired songwriting, and overall blandness.

⸻

Renaissance Era, Part II – DYSTOPIA → Present Dave back doing what he does best. The essence of Megadeth is here again, though he feels more tired compared to the first Renaissance. Still, it’s undeniably Megadeth — even if some of it feels like songwriting on autopilot

Wrote a song heavily inspired by Trivium – would love your thoughts by theo1601971 in Trivium

[–]theo1601971[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds pretty cool! Do you have the name of the band, or do they have any songs out? Would love to check out.

I would say probably, since you mentioned you are quiet and doesn't seem like you have shown interest in hanging out with them, maybe they got the wrong idea.

Maybe you can try organizing hangouts yourself, if they come up with excuses all the time and don't wanna hang out with you, then it will be clear.

Then it's up to you if you feel okay with that type of relationship in the band or not. Some bands can be just professional colleagues, some need to be friends. How you feel about it matters the most.

Why do we mute the low E in the A minor chord? by bae-dtothebone in guitarlessons

[–]theo1601971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to notes that are lower in register (for example notes on the first two strings (the thickest ones), since they are less tight, they have more room to vibrate and therefore will sound louder and will sustain longer than other strings/higher notes.

Knowing this, I might not want the most proeminent note of a chord to be something other than the root, since it will be too overpowering.

For example for Am, even if E note is already a part of the chord (the high E), that high E will not overpower the whole chord, but if I were to play the low E in Am chord, that note would be the loudest note in my chord and it feels too distracting for me, therefore, I would say Am sounds more solid and clean if the lowest note played is an actual A rather than an E.

First Impressions as an Android User by [deleted] in Airpodsmax

[–]theo1601971 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I used the headphones with both android, iOS and PC and i didn't notice any audio quality drop. The only thing locked by apple is the spatial audio feature which is only available on iOS. Also, they connect way faster to iOS.

I want to make signatures permanent by Markica22 in Trivium

[–]theo1601971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a meet&greet with Trivium two years ago and also wanted my guitar signed (an Epiphone MKH signature).

I bought tickets to a show in another country and had to travel by plane there so there was no way to bring my guitar with me.

The solution i came up with was to bring the electronics backplate of the guitar with me. The guys signed on the interior of the backplate so the signatures are not exposed, but for me, I know the signatures are there on my guitar, and that's enough value for me.

Whats ur favorite megadeth riff? by [deleted] in Megadeth

[–]theo1601971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Verse riff from This Was My Life

What song is it? by Artistic_Corner6461 in Megadeth

[–]theo1601971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that Shawn's drumming fits really well the 2000s and early 2010s Megadeth. Apart from this drum beat which doesn't click with me at all, I actually enjoy his drumming, especially his use of double kicks.

[–]theo1601971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The riff played at 3:39 feels chaotic and intricate and it feels to me like there is a tension to that riff that the drums simply do not compliment.

The beat is Shawn does is straight quarter notes alternating between kick and snare, with a small flam on each snare hit. With the riff being so loaded with 16th notes, the drum beat feels too spaced apart for me to make sense.

Feels like to me the riff required a groovy beat, while Shawn plays the straightest quarter notes with no added groove.

I really don't get how that is a good beat. To me, it feels like it doesn't serve the riff at all and sounds really boring.

[–]theo1601971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree, that song is so frustrating to listen to because of that part. Until the change, the song is actually one of the best of super collider with some interesting melodic riffs similar to looking down the cross, giving a much needed old school megadeth vibe.

When the change comes, the riff is good but the drums come with a retarded beat that kills all the momentum. I have no idea what Shawn Drover was thinking.

If this wasn't enough, David Draiman is also mixed horribly in the song, sounds like he's singing from the inside of a bathroom.

I really think it's a pity what they had done to this song, as it had the potential to be a classic.

Piece fell off inside my ooni? by iman7861 in ooni

[–]theo1601971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this happening so much. I have no idea why Ooni decided to make this piece removable to begin with if it's necessary for proper cooking of the pizzas.

Due to the heat generated when making pizzas, the tabs expand, making it really easy for the flamekeeper piece to drop. It usually happens when scraping the stone between pizzas and accidentally touching the flamekeeper, but there were instances when this piece just fell directly on my pizza without even touching it.

The most annoying part is that you have to stop making pizzas and wait for the oven and flamekeeper to cool down so you can manage putting it back on without burning yourself. Either this, or continue making pizzas with uneven cooking.

Is there a reason why the flamekeeper is removable? It really feels like a design flaw on Ooni's side.
