A bit of sponge under the strings at the bridge might achieve that. I would think felt or velcro on a pick would last no time before it's shredded.

Shame it's not on YouTube. Their reaction to their experiment results is brilliant.

The Vatican at least accepted both evolution and the big bang. No idea about other major religions. All science ultimately has its roots with religion wanting to better understand God's creation but the more they learned the less science needed a god so they parted ways

I do listen to Creaky and Sir Sic. Both are entertaining. My favourite flat earther is CC. He once chose to post a video on YouTube and not cut out the bit where his wife comes in and basically calls him an idiot. His whole thing is "I don't understand it so it can't be right". He even made a video where he filmed a ship go over the horizon and disappear from the bottom up as would only happen on a spherical planet

I find that once you get up to a 1mm pick, going and thicker doesn't really change the tone as 1mm is already pretty rigid. I use lots of gain, plenty of bass and mids and back off the treble a bit. A lot of the best rock pick players have a tone that sounds bloody awful in isolation (Lemmy for example) but sounds great in a mix.

I recommend checking out scimandan on YouTube. His whole thing is about pseudoscience and science based conspiracies. His Flat Earth Friday videos are always good for a laugh. The Netflix film Behind the Curve is also worth a watch, a group of flat earthers blow a load of money on experiments to prove the earth is flat and you can probably guess what happens.

I just checked out one of their videos. It's a weak rip off of Vulfpeck. They haven't even got the facial expressions which are so important to tone. They definitely owe Vulfpeck reparations for ripping off their sound.

All that tracking data is harvested but no one is looking at what Derek and Mable from Wolverhampton were doing on 3rd March, they're building huge databases to look at trends with the data from millions of anonymous people to work out more effective ways to sell more crap.

It seems to get a lot of people who spend too much time on the Internet. An ex band mate was caught up in the 5G conspiracy and the tracking chips in vaccines. I pointed out to him that everything they need to track us already exists with smart phones, bank cards Internet history and ANPR on the roads but he wouldn't have it, they're definitely tracking us with chips in vaccines. It also seems that once you believe one conspiracy you have to believe them all.

I bet he does his own research on youtube

Submission - Sex Pistols

Sergio had a very different style to Chi but he could certainly play Chi's stuff live very well. I've seen both live with Deftones twice each and both were excellent. Sergio has more presence on stage and a more minimal style. Chi could play like a machine but just stood back and did his thing. Chi did come out and meet fans after the show and hung out for a while which was cool.

Sergio didn't just play, he did a lot of writing as well. Some of their bass parts are easy to play but not so easy to play well.

It was last broadcast 5 years before I was born. I do remember picking up the clangers VCR in Channel 5 video hire when I was a very small child and watching it in black and white.

You know I meant clangers. I'm not that old!

If that's fake, where'd they get the moomins? WHERE DID THEY GET THE MOOMINS?

Nope. Here's a picture of them together.

It is but for me, the biggest thing against it being fake is that Russia congratulated the US straight after the landing. There is no way the Russians would have let the US fake beating them to the moon. They would have tracked the space craft and listened in to radio and telemetry signals.

My favourite conspiracy theory is that Australia doesn't exist. It's an actual theory from scholars including David Ike. I also quite enjoy flag waving, super patriotic Americans who say the moon landing was fake. They believe its the greatest country in the world but its greatest achievement was fake and every president since (including their orange hero) has lied about it.

I think Sergio is quite an underrated bassist. He doesn't do anything fancy but he's got a ton of groove and never over plays. I still can't get past Stephen Carpenter believing the earth is flat. How can a man who has been around the globe so many times believe its flat. I know he's smoked a LOT of weed but I didn't think there was enough to make people believe the earth is flat

I appreciate the effort you put in to that! Good rant.

Every day is Halloween - Ministry

Absolutely agree with that. An extended UK tour with Quicksand would help Sergio forget about Deftones.

That depends what country you're in. US uses 60Hz, UK uses 50Hz there's a bit of variation in that frequency as well.

I think some of it may be down to not wanting to replace Chi. The rest of the band were gutted when he died and I think maybe that's a big part of it. Sergio does deserve to be treated right though. I think maybe it's a similar situation to Jason Newstead and Metallica.
