Does the video include how to look ACAF smoking a pipe while playing?

This! I'd be worried about what else they missed. Friday afternoon special?

would you keep wearing your trousers if they were too tight? Why accept what you have if you can change it to what you want? Most of my guitars have re-shaped necks, or upgraded pups, or chamforing. Not my basses though 😜

Flattley Bass Poison Ivy Everything from a just breaking drive, to full on death metal/industrial nastiness, including nice synthy fuzziness. The blend is particularly awesome, with no loss of bottom end - if you want. Boutique pedal and price but worth it.

I've just found out about these, and have been watching the demos. I like what I'm hearing. The small footprint is particularly desirable too. https://orangeamps.com/little-bass-thing/

minimalist Ritter?

Opera anyone? There really isn't anything new. Most lyrical subject matter in the various forms of metal have already been covered in one form or another, by Opera 😎

Can fans be counter-productive? At a hot sweaty gig, isn't a fan just pulling in warm air to 'cool' the amp?

Practice.

A friend recommded this, will give it a go on 4oD.

Slayer - Reign in Blood Obitury - Slowly we Rot Cannibal Corpse - I Cum Blood Anything after is pretty much nothing new or any more 'extreme'.

The space can be used rather than filled. Listen to the early Van Halen records. No-one ever said they needed another guitarist.

Oasisn't. James Last – Plays The Greatest Songs Of The Beatles? The first tribute band I was aware of were 'Hans Valen'. In Australia back in 1990. I remember a Mexican guy doing Elvis, called 'El Vez'.

This is what I posted in a PJB thread back in 2008 😮 I had the Dalek, whick was the full PJB stack with the M500 head. In a word awesome. It's MOSFETs but IMO it totally outgunned Ampegs (I have owned Ampegs). It's all there, you need to spend some time with it then you'll find your ideal sound. Then after you've spent more time with it, you'll find your ideal sound again! It's all there the tonal options are immense. It's built like a tank (some of the components are military spec) and quite weighty because of it. There are people of this forum who's experience of PJB hasn't been good, but any email I sent was replied to either by Phil or one of the team usually the next day. I only got rid, because the stack wouldn't fit into my new car. Try it, and AB it with another amp, you'll hear the difference.

When see the videos of worship music in the USA, bands playing with Gospel choirs with vocalists that can belt it out like Aretha, and I think back to my church which occasionally had an acoustic guitar jangling along to 'Make me a channel of your Peace'...

I never hated them, but as I was very much into my heavy metal at the time, I was never bothered about U2. Now, I can appreciate what an amazingly talented guitarist The Edge is.

Gary Glitter

Have 'Bono' and 'The Edge' been mentioned yet?

There you go! 😎

up until my thread a while ago, The Grateful Dead.

and Cobalt Stargazer, and Slam Thunderhide, from the original line up.

Really?
