Re: The 4th Album

Lol, for those who said that AB is shit at metal - you have to throw Ties That Bind, Come to Life, White Knuckies, Isolation, Still Remains etc. to the rubbish. These are an amazing songs, because they have a blend of rock and metal, indicating heavier structures. That's the reason why it's nearly ...

Re: What is your favorite AB album?

Oh man! Look at all the love for ODR!!! :cloud9

It's funny because I see so many people talking about how they wished Myles had a greater hand in songwriting and arrangement. But then ODR often emerges as the favorite, and obviously that album was basically entirely written by Mark.

Re: Article on music business and downloading

Did anyone here ever get a Zune Pass? That seemed like a great deal. $15/month for unlimited music, plus you got to keep 10 tracks a month (so the effective price of the subscription was really $5/month).

I think they got rid of that part, so now it's just a regular $10/month subscription.

Re: Article on music business and downloading

I have no idea. I used to illegally download music and movies back in college, before I had really taken the time to think that it was wrong. My senior year when I moved off-campus, I got a call from my ISP (a small, regional company) about them having detected piracy activity on my connection, and ...

Re: College kids?

It is beautiful. At first glance it might appear to be like any other northeast college (red brick buildings with white columns, surrounded by grass and trees), but living there for four years I really grew to appreciate its beauty.

Re: Article on music business and downloading

Couldn't agree more with this article. Seems like pirates try to justify their actions as part of some greater cause, when really they just want to make themselves feel better about stealing music.

Re: New Microsoft "Surface" tablet

The only way I would buy an iPad is if they introduced more laptop like features like USB ports, true multi-tasking, etc. - I get 80% to 90% of tablet features out of my iPhone & I would rather watch movies/other media on my huge HDtv or computer monitor. Looks like the Microsoft Surface might ...

Re: Amps

I don't have an EQ or a tube screamer, but I do use a Boss Overdrive pedal on my leads, which helps a bit.

haha funny to see two completely different views given at like the exact same time LOL - yeah, I could've done without the vocal distortion. Ah well, not a deal-breaker. The underlying melody is what matters, and that easily shone through. HAHAHA I remember being crazy excited when that 3 or 4 trac...

Re: Guitars

I couldn't be happier. The difference is quite notable. You can get REALLY close to Tremonti's sound. (After all, they are his pickups.)

I still need to get a bone nut and gover tuners. I hear those make almost just as much difference in terms of playing stability.

Re: Amps

The F-50 is one of the smoothest amps I've ever heard. The clean tones are warm and crisp, and the dirty channel is sublime. My only complaint is that it doesn't quite have the grit that I want to hear when playing AB-type music. The Johnson Millennium is a whole other ball game. I honestly can't be...

:lol Anyway, I don't mean to cheapen the discussion. I'll go ahead and state that my favorite is Blackbird. Don't get me wrong, ODR changed my life. I had that album on repeat for years. But I've never felt anything quite like when I heard some of the songs on the Blackbird album. "Come to Life...
