Re: I waited 30 minutes for a single slice of pizza today

Yeah, my friendship with Kelly is probably the most stable friendship I've ever had. Early last semester, before we became friends, I had romantic feelings for her, and we even went on what I thought was a date, but she thought it was only friendly. I later found out from her that she has a boyfrie...

Re: What grinds your gears?

Youtube links don't work for me in here for some reason. I've tried to insert a couple into a post and it doesn't display as a playable video, just text. Annoying. Try clicking on 'Share' under a YouTube video, copy the link but remove '?feature=shared' and put that between [YouTube][/YouTube] thin...

Re: Amps & Other Guitar Gear

So I went ahead and got this:

https://www.thomann.de/pl/harley_benton ... _flame.htm

Plays and sounds really good for 222GBP, doesn't even require any major luthier work.
It just seems like the pickups could have been screwed to the body a bit better but's that a minor thing.

Re: *The Official Creed Press Thread* (Updated 6/17/12)

I think you're paying a little bit too much attention to semantics here, I think he's still quite aware of AB and Tremonti and frankly there is no need for him to 'support' them. Obviously he's not happy that they exist as they take up a lot of space and time that could be used for Creed.

Re: The Official SCOTT STAPP Thread

^^ By that logic, wouldn't it make sense to do a new Creed album? First album in 14+ years. Streaming metrics and whatever physical album sales metrics are going to be more than what an AB or Tremonti album does by a good difference. Apologies, forgot to reply to you. Streaming does nothing financi...

Re: The Official SCOTT STAPP Thread

Or it makes more sense for him financially. Tours sell better than albums these days and judging from how well the cruises and the tour have sold, he is not willing to invest in the studio time for the new tunes. Having the financial safety capitalizing from Creed he can do AB and Tremonti at ease.

Re: Amps & Other Guitar Gear

They can be awesome value but they don't have great quality control, so be prepared to make send one or two back with possible issues. Like Chapman guitars, their business model is too buy direct from the factory and the store is supposed to QC, but they often don't. So there could be a likelihood ...

My list so far, green ones are done, white ones still to go.
End of year update (unless I find more albums released this year lol):

The ones with an 'X' next to them would be my AOTY contenders.

Re: Scott Stapp Album IV HIGHER POWER

It does not have to be that way. Same for the ridiculous brickwalling on every rock album since 1995. Just because it's become the new industry standard does not make it right whatsoever for listeners. Obviously not. It's just that Stapp isn't the kind of guy that would be trying to break the mould...

I didn't even make it to the bridge. The vocals are terrible. Massively edited. The songwriting is just boring.

Hey, that sitar breakdown and the phrygian dominant harmony guitar solo are pretty cool.

For the rest, just your regular modern alternative metal radio friendly track.
