Well 2 months after the album was released, he got one: President Trump.

But Myles is still not happy. So maybe he really doesn't know what he wants.

Lol

Bloody heavy though. :lol That’s usually in my top 3 questions with music gear. Can my back handle it lol Tell me about it! I've switched to using a trolley to cart them about and other than gigs and rehearsals, they never come out my car anymore. I wish that PRS would make a MT15 combo. I still wa...

It's very nice has a good range of sounds, it absolutely requires a boost through the front to do proper metal though. The 45 only has 4 channels (Bright Clean, Warm Clean, Crunch, Super Crunch) where as the more powerful heads also have extra OD1 & OD2 channels with more gain on tap. I keep it ...

Good luck man. Your above post inspired me to post my current rig: GUITARS: PRS NF3 (for soul & blues cover band) Jericho Edge 6 + Bareknuckle Bootcamp Pickups (for br00tz) AMPS: Mesa Rectoverb 25 1x12 Combo Blackstar Series One 45 2x12 Combo [THE ABOVE BOTH USED IN STEREO FOR GIGGING] Blackstar...

Pre-amp tubes are cheap and easy to replace so might as well do that first. My instinct from hearing you describe it is that it wouldn't be pre-amp tubes though. They reach temperature very quickly and problems tend to materialise more or less immediately. On the power tube subject, I've had a coupl...

A lot of tube amps are nearly impossible to play at what could be considered 'quiet'. They do vary from amp to amp but I had Mesa Mk.IV that the difference between 0.1 and 0.2 on the master volume dial was the difference between completely inaudible and 'the neighbors have called the cops'. My Mesa ...

That's still 30k that watch. A lot of exposure. They certainly have two audiences and their rock/metal videos have been expanding over time. A good strategy by them and completely free and legit promotion for Tremonti to 30k people.

But it is an AB rarity..... and I think it's awesome. There's some great techniques in there that Mark doesn't use any more and some nice rhythm changes.

Agree about the Blackbird b-sides, agree about the thumpy intro, wildly disagree about Break Me Down. Everyone seems to hate on that song, or think that would be the weak link that would be dropped for one of the b-sides, but I love it. One of my favorite songs on that album. There'd be nothing wro...

I thought it was just a Mark thing and Flip helped out with the drumming?

Yeah. Those Blackbird B-sides were amazing. Truly baffled as to how they were taken off but Break Me Down made it in. 'New Way to Live' also kicks all kinds of ass. The only things that I truly long for in life with AB B-sides is a 2003 studio recording of 'On My Way Now' and a studio recording of '...

There have been several absolutely terribly produced Rush records (Presto, Vapour Trails & Clockwork Angels all come to mind) despite the material almost always being high quality. Respectively disagree. I think Clockwork Angles sounds great. I have it on Vinyl and it reminds me of old school 2...

I enjoy going to see Gn'R Stuff being done by Slash and Myles in a smaller venue. Myles does 'em better than Axl these days anyway.

St. Anger was well recorded but questionable instrument choices were made Death Magnetic, the drum mixing and recording was an absolute crime and still to this day ruins a pretty damn good album. Even the remixes out there have the drums too loud. Hardwired sounds pretty good, quite a modern sound b...

Wtf is an 'Earbook'? I just thought everybody was mis-spelling yearbook.

Aye. Despite the material, the Load & Re-Load albums sounded phenomenal from a production perspective. The Black Album is awesome but has somewhat dated because of the drum sound.

I quite often give demo instrumental songs a name based on what feelings the song gives me and then work backward from there. Try and uncover what the underlying theme is purely from the music. I rarely write lyrics and then fit a song around it these days, it's almost always the other way round.

I've heard what I think is pitch correction in AB songs before, one moment in Waters Rising comes to mind. I don't really hear it on this one though, certainly not the 0:40 part. It just sounds like a very "Myles" inflection to me, which can be quite angular sounding. I know pitch correcti...
