I think Cobain smashed enough gear for all three bands...

1991 was a great year for music, I've still got most of these on vinyl: Eight Track Stomp - Chickasaw Mudd Puppies Uncle Anesthesia - Screaming Trees Green Mind - Dinosaur Jr. Piouhgd - Butthole Surfers The White Room - The KLF Ex:el - 808 State The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld - The Orb Temple of the Dog - Temple of the Dog Flyin' the Flannel - Firehose Blessed Are the Sick - Morbid Angel God Fodder - Ned's Atomic Dustbin O.G. Original Gangster - Ice-T Sailing the Seas of Cheese - Primus Schubert Dip - EMF Gish - The Smashing Pumpkins Like an Ever Flowing Stream - Dismember Never Loved Elvis - The Wonder Stuff Superstition - Siouxsie and the Banshees 13-Point Program to Destroy America - The Nation of Ulysses 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours - Green Day Butchered at Birth - Cannibal Corpse Frequencies - LFO Steady Diet of Nothing - Fugazi To Mother - Babes in Toyland Ten - Pearl Jam Foxbase Alpha - Saint Etienne Trompe le Monde - Pixies Badmotorfinger - Soundgarden Nevermind - Nirvana Prove You Wrong - Prong Ebbhead - Nitzer Ebb Orbital - Orbital Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black - Public Enemy Human - Death Necroticism – Descanting the Insalubrious - Carcass Loveless - My Bloody Valentine Clandestine - Entombed Forest of Equilibrium - Cathedral

Definitely Soundgarden for me. Whilst I loved Nirvana's Bleach, Nevermind was a far too polished production for my tastes back then. The Chilli's BSSM was just an ok album. Over the last 28 years I still listen to BadMotorFinger regularly, I've grown to like Nevermind. But BSSM bores me to tears, dear god it's dull.

Yeah, Mariner is something special. I've always been a bigger Julie Christmas fan than Cult of Luna. But this new one isn't far off. Going to have to see if anywhere has a vinyl copy left...

I didn't know there was a new album! Now listening to it. EDIT: 3 tracks in and it's fantastic! I was worried they'd peaked with Mariner. But, thankfully, they didn't!

true

I've scanned through the thread and probably missed it. But what is the cost of the cab kit?

Two of my favourite bands have been down to one, founding, member each and been just as impressive . Graham Crabb reformed Pop Will Eat Itself with various other people. He had full blessing form all the other original members. Then a couple of years ago all the other original members joined back up, bar Clint Mansell. And The Wonder Stuff made it all the way down to just Miles Hunt as an original member. But now Malc Treece has rejoined and they're back up to the maximum number of original members possible. The other two are no longer with us. What I find weirder are when a member of a band is not an original member, but has been in the band for longer than the person they replaced. And there's still people who don't see them as being a proper member of the band.

Get there for Pharaoh Overlord. They’re great.

Last part of the year contains: Pharaoh Overlord / Sleep in Bristol Anna Von Hausswolff / Sunn O))) in Bristol Anna Von Hausswolff / Sunn O))) in Birmingham Anna Von Hausswolff / Sunn O))) in London The Utopia Strong in Bristol Bonnacons of Doom in Bristol The Wonder Stuff in Birmingham

You just need a massively egotistical, manipulative, idiot to mumble nonsense for a bit. (I love TG, but really don’t like G(B)P-O)

I went to see the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow a few times back in the 90s which included The Amazing Mr Lifto. Guess what he did...

The Ashdown JJ-500 doesn't do any driven sounds at all. It's a very clean amp, being based on the Mark King Ashdown. Live he has a JJ-500 and an ABM, of some variety, not sure how the amps are split across the 2 4x10s and 2 1x15s.

Some classic New Model Army:

Vocalist in an old band I was in regularly got naked, as did some of the audience (males only) Here he is pre-naked, but with an elephant posing pouch.

I started listening to Clutch after hearing two tracks on the Earache Records compilation 'Naive', back in 1992. My favourites are: Impetus EP, Passive Restraints EP, Clutch, Elephant Riders, Robot Hive/Exodus, Blast Tyrant, Psychic Warfare & Book of Bad Decisions. All the albums have great songs on though. But some albums suffer from slightly off production (Beale St and Strange Cousins are the worst offenders for me). Their live albums are worth listening to as they tend to spice things up a bit. They're an incredible band to watch live, as are their alter-ego The Bakerton Group.

The debut album from The Utopia Strong (Steve "Interesting" Davis, Kavus Torabi (Gong/ Cardiacs/ Knifeworld/ Guapo) and Michael J. York (Coil / Teleplasmiste / Guapo)) is released today. So while I wait for the vinyl to arrive I'm listening to it on Bandcamp. Here's a sample:

I had 2 Ampeg PF-500s go pop with in a few months, got a full refund after the 2nd one and replaced it with an Ashdown JJ-500. I'm beginning to become very tempted by the idea of an all valve amp and it will be a CTM, not an SVT.

I did a gig where the soundguy had called in "sick"... has had all the mics and mic cables...

Sat in the car, whilst my girls are in Taekwondo class, listening to:

Not really an effect. But this is what I just built. you can power a single module from this and send various control voltages for testing/calibration purposes.

ANTA is another, although @joegarcia isn't on the forum much these days. I think he's too busy with his recording studio business. Anyone who's into the proggier side of post rock should check them out. https://anta.bandcamp.com/

That pretty much sums up my thoughts. Out of Maynard's 3 main bands Puscifer has become my favourite.
