  1. I tend to judge them on their ability to know when not to play. ha ha.
  2. I'm a big LZ fan, and never understood the Stairway fascination. That bombastic live version by Heart that did the rounds a while ago is properly hideous.
  3. Aye. It's tuneless, derivative, poorly played and entirely lacking in emotion or creativity.
  4. I'm just gonna leave this here...
  5. I did a couple of US tours with a band I was in in my late 20s. We were courted by Rounder Records, but before anything could happen a combination of band politics and 9/11 brought it all to a halt. They were great days (I know I sound like him out of Creme Brulee).
  6. So: Ceramic drivers have weaker, heavier magnets Neo drivers have stronger, lighter magnets Presumably this affects the response of the speaker cone, and therefore the tone? ...or am I looking at this too simplistically?
  7. How in the name of Jiminy Cricket does something like this end up in Crack Converters?
  8. IME as long as you tell them it’s defamatory, they’ll relent and remove it. They can’t be bothered to argue.
  9. Yep.. eBay are very accommodating at removing negative feedback... which is also annoying when it's deserved. It's all part of why I avoid eBay if at all possible these days (not always practical).
  10. You've met my wife..?
  11. You're going to get a lot of different opinions here, but IME the HandBox R-400 is worth checking out for a couple of reasons. It's class A/B so there's no fancy power management going on to squash the life out of the tone (unless you start hitting the rails). It's incredibly dynamic and it's very clean (although grit is available on-tap).
  12. From Francis Rossi's gear page on the SQ website: I'm not sure how many speakers there are in that wall of cabs...?
  13. Totally Wilf at Ghost. What a top lad. (As is Alan Dingwall).
  14. ...and another clip from a dep this weekend. Flats on a Maruszczyk Jake, but clear and solid.
  15. Nah, I'm with you on that. I've given up on them for now.
  16. We have those conversations regularly. It's merely Aguilar's turn.
  17. Based on what I've gleaned from chats with TKS' Tommy Södergren, it's fair to say he isn't a box-stuffer either. Maybe the price difference between Aguilar and TKS could be explained away by stuff from Sweden being cheap in general. Oh, wait...
  18. Aye, and if you go TKS you can get two :-)
  19. Yeah, it is. I wonder how the Aguilar stuff compares?
