Whenever the winter comes, I always listen to Black metal and symphonic black metal. Emperor and Dimmu Borgir are my two faves of that genre. Black metal is definatly an acquired taste, but once you start, it's hard to stop.

Dimmu Borgir is quite good. I used to work with some guys and when asked who is a good black metal band the answer would always be Dimmu Borgir.

Yea your gonna like Opeth, Akerfeltd is a hoot between songs. When I saw'em they closed with "The Drapery Falls" off "Blackwater Park"...after that my life was just a little more complete. :)

I've seen Opeth a few times already. Akerfeldt is the king of deadpan.

I'm hoping for Baying of the Hounds into Beneath the mire, followed by Orchid in its entirety.

And for all you Dimmu Borgir fans...choke on this one. The Boobahs give a serious case of the creeps.

More like take a lesson everyone. Jeff Beck is incredible. I prefer his solo work to any of his other projects.

Personally it's not my style, Marty Freidman, Randy Rhoads, Chris Broderick and Jeff Loomis are more along the lines of what I like to play and listen to.

Par example

Randy Rhoads' solo in 'Mr. Crowley' was the first solo I ever learned. I was like 15 years old. I worked on it everyday for months before getting it polished. Such a shitty stroke of luck we lost him.

I screwed up that solo for years. I thought that it was done using tapping until I saw a video of Randy playing it live and I was like "fuck! he's shredding it!" So than I had to unlearn the whole damn thing. Luck for me though, since then my tapping has been incredible.

Jeff Beck is one of greatest of all time. I've seen this vid before..I think it's from Eric Clapton's blues festival in Chicago a couple years ago. That chick is an amazing bass player
 
I play Carvins (DC747, DC135, SC90) and a cheap Strat plugged into a Crate VC212, normally with no effects loop. When I'm going acoustic I pull out my Yamaha FG512. I also have a fretless Washburn bass that's fun to tinker on.

I'm a little dissapointed that more people on this board don't own Jacksons.
Click to expand...
It could be because Jacksons are kind of a one trick pony.
It's been my experience that if you don't play "shredder" type music, they're pretty worthless. They are very awesome for shred-metal, but other than that, they seem to be lacking. There are many other guitars that I find more versatile, and in that aspect, I think Gibson is top of the heap.

This is, of course, just my opinion. And we all know about opinions.:D

Not sure whether this post should be in a thread about art, music, miracles or perhaps the one about evil.

Only mention the evil one because personally I am sick to death of hearing about how bad we can be. I would far rather hear about how good we can be sometimes. Go ahead and laugh if you want, but please check out this site and video
and enjoy. :)

Yeah Thanks a lot Mark, now My girlfriend is gonna be pissed when I bring one of those home. :D

Also didn't know that a "Luthier" is a maker of guitars. Learn somethin new everyday.
 
Mark,

Oh, man, those Blueberry guitars are something sweet! Why, oh why, did you post that here, man? Are you trying to drive us insane? Jeez...

:rolleyes:

And Happy Easter to those who observe it.

WTF? Is that really a girl, um, singing? Not like it's actual, you know, singing, but... oy. ;) These crazy kids and their music, I remember when my elders thought that the original Judas Priest was hard rock music. YOWZA!

Your 100% right about Jacksons in the lower price spectrum, you're rather limited in what the guitar can do, but when you get a top of the line Jackson (one made in the USA) the only limits are the ones you set on yourself.

Gibsons are really nice sounding guitars, I just never really enjoyed the "feel" of them.

And that's a lovely axe... though I've become something of a Gibson hater lately. Anyone want to buy a nice 1971 Les Paul Custom?dB

I know what you mean. I've found that LPs are hard for me to play. The feel of the ebony fretboard is beautiful, but there's not enough room, it's too narrow or something. And I have small, skinny hands.

I'm trying to unload a custom too. It's an '81 silverburst. The copper chips in the silver paint have turned green, and it's really kind of sexy.

I'll always be a strat/tele kind of guy. I'm in love with that thin, glassy single coil tone. I have a really cool amp too. It's a TopHat Supreme 16.
It seems to wrap every note you play in a tiny bundle of sparkling air. Yay!
