there's a reason people don't mention steve harris - it's because he isn't good. the only reason he keeps the pace he does - which isn't all that quick comparitively - is because all his gear is set up to max output so he can barley touch strings and still get sounds - bass techs accross the land will testify to this after blowing up their speakers by soundchecking his basses and playing in a normal fashion

both have a time and a place. sometimes ii want to listen to someone actually saying something they really care about - this does not include emo bands who really feel passionatley about how much they hate school - so i listen to neil young, steve earl etc sometimes there's a place for extreme technicallity a la DT, Spiral Architect et al, and sometimes it's time forstraight up brutality. it's all there

EMG's are the most sterile sounding pickups in the world, they're great for one thing, but kill your clean sound and totally mask the sound of your guitar. i mean, once you put emg's in your guitar you sound exactly like every other guitar with emg's in it. dimarzio are ace, but can't cut it at high gain rhythm playing, great for the solo's, not for the riffery, that's why the dimarzio in the bridge of my parker fly is getting swapped for a seymour duncan, but the one in the neck is staying.

it hasn't been deleted it's just changed name - it's now the 6505 but it's exactly the same amp, all EVH owned was the name and i'm guessing it's force fed that's the peavy although both SYL are all mesa now

ah but, alas, not as good as vapour trails by rush. 1. Sexual Harassment in the workplace - Frank Zappa 2. Lashed to the slave stick - Nile 3. Limelight - Rush 4. As - Stevie Wonder 5. Ricky don't lose that number - Steely Dan well i win most diverse

Can't stand marshall, but it depends on what you're wanting to play, they're spot on for certain things but i think they pretty much suck at everything else, no clean channel at volume, always gets crunchy, and not a smooth enough gain channel for my liking.

with rossP here, you have no interest from any label until they are more or less beating you off. bands i've played in have had emails, chat, requests for this and that, come to see us, spoke to us more, one asked our singer to visit the label headquarters in america, he came accross to see us here. STILL i would not describe it as interest, basically because he never offered to actually give us money

howdy, i'm from a thrash band called LeVeaux, two of the chaps are from banchory, soon to all be relocating to aberdeen as one of us heading to aberdeen uni and all need to be back in the one town. check out site tell us what you think www.leveaux.com see you on the world tour

never had issues in aberdeen, have been totally fucked over in dundee by the guys who do the lemuria sessions tho if anyones heard of them, tried to pay us 15 for a gig in the art bar, suffice to say got told to fuck off, didn't get anymore money out of him, but he didn't get any more gigs out of us. any pay to play gigs amount to theft in my opinion. there is no excuse for a promoter to put on these gigs, if he doesn't think he can make his money back then he isn't booking the right bands. it's simply laziness, making sure that it doesn't matter if you do any work or not you still make your profit margin.

Geddy Lee John Myung Tony Levin there's a lot of hands down blinding metal players but given how metal is produced these days i don't think any of them get to really stand out and shine hence the prog beasts above

both my main guitars are tuned to C, both are strung with d'addario 13-56, you wanna hear a parker fly with 13's on it through a triple rectifier, you're tone fucking kills

my thrash band LeVeaux have recently parted ways with our drummer and are looking for a replacement. we have people who can stand in for upcoming gigs but require a permanent replacement as soon as possible. we are an established gigging act in a lot of venues in various towns and have a good number of gigs already booked at the moment, including various in glasgow, perth and edinburgh along with a tattoo convention and bits and bobs in the pipeline. we play a mix of classic 80's thrash and more modern equivelents plus some more extreme and death metal influences - main ones being: metallica, testament, slayer, pantera, the haunted, children of bodom, lamb of god. any more info you can get on www.leveaux.com our old drummer was an absolutely fantastic player so we really are looking for people of considerable ability. we are open to someone who brings their own influences to the table and someone who is also a writer would be a grand bonus. should also mention we are all aged between 19 and 22 and are from aberdeen dunfermline and edinburgh, we tend to practice in perth as it's easy for everyone but practice in edin, aberdeen and glasgow too depending on when it suits. also this is a serious band, we are currently speaking to a couple record labels and intend to be recording an album in the very near future. any interested parties reply here or email me at leveaux_m_a_f@hotmail.com ta peace

right for god's sake, new to the forum and don't want to come over totally condescending but i really can put little faith in anyone who really rates joey jordison - pro tools anyone? have you seen or heard him live? stopping and starting double kicks all the time because he simply cannot keep up. out of time on a regular basis, he must be a nightmare to play with. it's as bas time wise as bloody ringo starr.
