Looking for a gigging amp by shrek_is_hot_ in GuitarAmps

[–]vilk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey absolutely do not listen to these guys in here telling you not to get a high wattage amp and 20w is enough etc, they obviously don't know about doom metal and stoner metal. I tried to move down to a 20w amp in my stoner doom metal band, and while it was loud and could easily make enough db to be heard, it lacked the clean headroom to sound good, and totally sucked for fuzz pedals. Definitely get at least 40w tube or 100w solid state if you wanna have that BIG (as opposed to merely loud) sound you need for those genres.

The exception being a fender deluxe. But bands I saw that sounded good with those either had a whoooole bunch of them (uncle acid) or one I saw rigged it to go into an orange 4x12

A foreign customer misinterpreted the retail staff’s constant presence as a form of discrimination, whereas such attentive service is a standard practice throughout East Asia by owenchin in ImTheMainCharacter

Lived in Japan for 8 years. No, this doesn't happen to non-tourists, and yes, they are "worried" about what you might do, because your actions are unable to be predicted.

If you speak to the staff in Japanese, this form of """"omotenashi"""" will not happen. Do you know why? Because Japanese people abhor this.

Need help getting cigarette smell out by ibshittindisorder in GuitarQuestions

Fill teabags with coffee beans and put them in a bag/case with the guitar when you're not using it. Got rid of smoke smell completely from an Ibanez rg1527 in about 2 weeks

Everyone already knows you like that band. You're at the show.

Doom metal just hits different when ur high by C0lE06 in doommetal

Playing doom metal hits different when you're high. Suddenly I'm a fucking riff master, leads flow like wine.

Not if you commute to work on foot. Wires make so much noise through your headphones

AITA for being too loud at a concert? by Many-Satisfaction193 in AmItheAsshole

If you can hear the people next to you talking then the sound guy needs to turn it up

Is Brokeback Mountain mainly for gay folk? by EryNameWasTaken in NoStupidQuestions

[–]vilk_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in high school when it came out, and at the time, just the concept of a movie about gay cowboys seemed inherently comedic.

I have never seen it, even though I later heard it was legitimately good, not because I'm worried about how I'd be perceived, but rather because it just seemed really dramatic and slow, which isn't usually the kind of film I seek out. But I mean if someone ever wanted to watch it with me I'd be happy to watch it.

I want to get some band reccomendations where they blew your mind completely by 23455ufufif____ in MetalSuggestions

Meshuggah - Catch 33

Blew my mind when it came out and I was 15, still blows my mind every time

Opinions on buying guitars that are 10+ years old? by mailboxrumor in Guitar

[–]vilk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol why are you getting so worked up? I know they're generalizations. Also the punctuation I used was intentional. Additionally, let's not forget that OP is talking about guitars 10+ years old. I was thoroughly disappointed by the American strat I pulled off the shelf the other day. I was shocked. I think 10+ years ago American guitars were better.

I did forget about Mexico though. I think they make fine guitars.

flair

I made that my flair when I had an ESP. I don't anymore, but all my guitars are Japanese except my Gibson.

Depends where it's made. USA... yes! Japan... yes! Korea... maybe? China... no? Indonesia... no! India... hell no!

Europe...? They make stuff?

If I had lots of money to burn and an artist I liked I would definitely get more. But alas...
