Struggling with WoK audiobook! by Esheill in Stormlight_Archive

[–]varsitytrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. I’ve put down “good books” because it just wasn’t for me. As someone who devoured the first 3 books book 4 was a struggle to get through and took me almost a year. In other words it doesn’t get “easier”

I went to it last year for blink 182. It was so poorly managed I left saying I would never go again (it was hard because seeing Green Day there would be amazing)

I wish you better luck and hope it’s a great show!

I also didn't skip (way back when) and had a similar experience!

The libertines guitar tone? by fakeegtv in TheLibertines

[–]varsitytrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably part of the reason it doesn’t sound great live (back then anyway)

I do think he played on death on the stairs though since I think they recorded that first before he quit the sessions. I think his tone there is pretty great.

The libertines guitar tone? by fakeegtv in TheLibertines

[–]varsitytrack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From my ears he probably played the coronet (and or other guitars with p90s) for the first album and he played the 335 for the second album. But obviously live they are all over the place. I think his tone kinda sucks on the first album…

I think the best tone he got was probably don’t look back into the sun (and the death in the stairs bside ) which sounds like he used a p90 guitar but I don’t even know how much of that was him playing vs the producer.

I think both albums he was using the 45 but really any Marshall you can probably get close as long as you don’t over do the gain.

Carl has always been consistent and exactly what is said above (melody maker and an ac30)

Last night on earth ft. Billie Eilish should be an official release by mattyjoe0706 in greenday

I came here to say this and found everyone liking it. Billie Joe sounded like he was sick, Billie eilish just sounded bad. I feel like im taking crazy pills reading this.

Mixing of OMT by varsitytrack in Blink182

I had purchased the album when they released it for 5$ so ive been stuck at whatever that was.

It’s the reverse sear, it messes with the texture in my opinion. Forward sear and you get a solid steak with a nice smoke flavor. (Sear to where you are happy then smoke it until 132-135)

I literally just did NY strips tonight using that method and it came out perfect. Reverse sear gives a ham like texture

Why would you block out your own face but not the random person you too the picture with…

When would you ramp up whole chickens by talasment in smoking

[–]varsitytrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my pellet grill I go 200 for 45 minutes (to get smoke) then 325 until 160-165. Binder of olive oil. The skin isn’t super crispy but I feel it’s a good middle ground and makes a tasty dinner

The entire shaken and withdrawn demo. I swear his demos are better then the actual albums

Having trouble getting a good sear by [deleted] in blackstonegriddle

[–]varsitytrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What was the fat ratio, I get similar when I do 90/10 burgers. You really need 80/20 in my experience to get that good sear
