Thanks for the recommendations guys. I've been researching a lot over the past few days and pretty much already eliminated the triple rectifier. I read that it is overkill (like one of you guys said), and plus... the dual has better tone (thats opinion of course). I didn't realize the combos would b...

I've been putting in a lot of overtime lately, and decided I should reward myself. I'm way overdue for a new amp. I've had a Crate XT120R 2X12 solid state combo for 10 years now (since I was 18). Yeah, I know, Crate, ewww. So, I'm thinking that if I upgrade, may as well go with the best (in my opini...

XM Octane played Cry of Achilles in its entirety about 20 minutes ago!!!

I just emailed Dan about a possible ship date a few days ago and he said late May. Well, I'm moving before then so I need the shipping address changed. I asked him if this was possible but no response yet.

I was at the dallas show a few days ago. I'm gonna let you know that unless you buy VIP tickets, you won't get the rail. But, at my specific venue (house of blues) while my friend and I were eating, I looked out the front of the venue and saw a huge ass line, and because it was so cold outside my b...

I got one of Mark's picks. I was the first to reach my hand out when he took them all off of his stand so he flicked one at me haha. I'm lucky to have caught it. Stupid me went for it with a vertical palm. But after missing one of Flip's sticks back in 2005 (hit the palm of my hand, bounced and some...

Deadcell, dude. Why didnt you say hello to me!? Lol Im pretty sure I heard you talking once or twice but never actually pointed you out of the group. Sorry man. My wife already kinda felt out of the loop at the show, so I didn't conversate much with others. She did end up enjoying herself though an...

Damn. Well I took a sound check vid of Fortress, as well as 3 other vids (including Achilles) AND the audio quality is shit. My wife took a short 30 second vid with her Galaxy S4 and it sounds great. My S3.... garbage. I really hate that. Be forewarned if anyone else tries this. The S3 is terrible, ...

Freakin amazing show. I swear, these guys get better every time I see them.

May post a few shots later but it looks like Photobucket's quality is garbage without a wifi signal.

Awesome house. How much was it? I'm always amazed how cheap housing is in the USA, and how muchland comes with houses (as over here housing is expensive being in one of worlds most sensed populated countries) A little south of $200k. My only problem with the house is it doesn't have much land with ...

Maybe I'll run into you guys at the show. The wife will be with me so I'll be skipping the meet up.

Beautiful home, DeadCell. Congrats! Where are you guys located? And I'm sure you're looking forward to when your mancave becomes a scrapbooking/storage/nursery/book club meeting area. :lol Southeast of Nashville. Close to Chattanooga if you know where that is. Oh no, the wife already said the basem...

As time goes on, I'm getting closer and closer to just cancelling. This has just been a major letdown, and at this point... I'm not even excited about it anymore.

Plus, I'm in the process of buying a house. So that money could be better utilized elsewhere (furniture budget/decor). We'll see.

Hey! Thanks VC!

I work in the power industry lol. Obviously the electrical engineering degree is paying off.

This place is 3200+ square feet. More than we need at the moment but we wanted to leave plenty of room for our family to grow.

Thanks guys

The wife and I are stoked. Been waiting for this for a long time



And it has an awesome basement for my man cave

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that we may be waiting a few more months, at least. So, there's really no need in complaining, it won't speed things up in any form or fashion. However, this doesn't mean I'm okay with the way things have gone. The fact is, we were lied to, whether it being du...

This is a cool opportunity but between tickets, fast passes, VIP passes, and now a guitar lesson..... AB is trying to nickel and dime us to death.

I'm already in the $390-ish range for two tickets and two VIP passes for this thing. No way in hell I can spend another $200.
