There are few better than Ondt Blod at mixing hardcore punk, metal and melody and they do it in Norwegian too. They're from the far North of Norway and include influences from the Sámi culture. Their album Natur is 35 minutes of relentless bangers 😁

Kerry King and Beastie Boys

It looks great. What does the bass look like?

No competition

I do it as 3123 2132 1321 3213 2132 1321 etc, every bar a different finger is on the one but the right hand pattern doesn't change. It takes a bit of practice but soon just becomes a muscle memory thing where your right hand takes care of itself. It's great for faster playing too, much less likely to fatigue as you spread the workload out. Getting your ring finger to sound the same as the other fingers is the challenge, though, you should never be able to distinguish by ear which finger is hitting the string.

For three-finger technique, practice AC/DC stuff, just regular eighths. It'll develop your right hand in no time. It's all about consistency note-to-note and breaking out of the habit of your index finger always being on the one. AC/DC is great to develop that as you don't need to stress too hard about what your left hand is doing and can focus on getting the right in shape.

I've been playing metal for a long time, among other things. Current favourites are this Blade B4 and Hamer Chaparral. The amp, since the early 2000's, has been an ABM with a compact 2x10 and 1x15.

One of these and make some wood covers to house the P coils in 🙂

That was his second appearance on a Manowar album. He featured on Dark Avenger several years earlier

Elton does a sterling job on Black Gives Way to Blue by Alice in Chains

Kim Deal from The Breeders Jimmy Chamberlin from Smashing Pumpkins Jimmy Flemion from The Frogs ok so far... Sebastian Bach from Skid Row... wtf?

Great colour, very nice bass.

Noaudience either

Pete Wentz laughing all the way to the bank. I was expecting to see an early Japanese JV, they're getting posted around this price now. An Indonesian Squier though, I was not expecting that at all. The cult of personality sells, that's just how it goes and why so many manufacturers can't seem to pump out enough "signature" models these days.

This. If you forget to unplug the lead you'll probably forget to pull the knob, flick the switch, do the secret handshake, flood the tanks, batten down the hatches and whatever other solutions which require manual intervention. You've just gotten into a habit and are looking for a technical solution for it which, to me, seems like the wrong way to go and destined to fail regardless which way you choose to get around it. Just change the habit. Regardless of the bass, get into the habit of unplugging when you have finished. You don't have to do anything else, leave the lead hooked in the strap so it's right there when you want to play again. Just get into the habit of unplugging the bass when you stop playing, whether it's active or passive. It'll become second nature in no time at all.

I've been on a big 80's and early 90's rock buzz. This is the kind of great stuff you just can't release anymore 😂

Their second album dropped a lot of the Zep influence and was all the better for it. It's a good rock album for sure, they were a decent band. The first album I like but it is just too close for comfort.

More footage, more Beatles? Sounds good to me

That's quite proper, very nice.

Kingdom Clone around my way 🙂
