anodyne

just checking on here - hi everyone. anyone have a waffles invite (please!)?

this thread makes me sad. my grandpa played "hawaiian guitar" with hank williams, and his lap steel he was going to give me was pawned by his gold digging second wife. there's no way i could ever be happy with a lap steel that wasn't grandpa's 1929 model.

that said, ignore the cheap one you linked. the name ROGUE is appropriate. it's theft. get something marginally good at a marginal price. this will frustrate you. the rogue 12 string i bought was held together with elmer's glue and fell apart quickly.

carvin has inexpensive in-ear monitor systems.

i have an es-335 and a les paul. both are awesome, but i should mention the DOT you're thinking of isn't a hollow-body, it's semi-hollow with a solid core, meaning it will feed back less at high gain, but still have lots of versatility.

i've always found fenders to sound kinda snotty and nutless. i'm kinda juvenile in that i want a guitar tone that will shake my ass when i stand near the amp. get a dot, especially if you can find one c. 2003!

i LIKE the fender tele, but it's not my tone. it's a bit too quacky for my sound. i prefer my LP.

as i said, i watch cops A LOT. tasers were developed so cops wouldn't have to shoot people. now it's a threat weapon used for convenience quite often.

I was yet to be born for another 17 years. He's alright, no Ryan Adams thats for sure.

thanks! i got a nice chuckle from that. i was born in 75, but didn't start listening to stuff that wasn't hardcore/punk/metal until maybe 7 years ago. i've listened to a lot of GP since then though.

i watch cops (A LOT), sometimes looking for former students. I see tazers a lot.

that guy =

his prank

edit: less than is the sign i meant to use. oops. i fuckin LOVE dirty work.

where does it begin? vaudeville? spike jones? perhaps you don't want to go that far - spinal tap?

Use the taser!

 

exactly the right thing to post. this is without sarcasm, btw.

Ahhh Olive Garden... all the subtle culinary nuance of your grocery store's freezer section combined with the authentic Italian ambiance of Orlando, Florida!

i officially love you.

oh humorless. do a google search for rick roll. the setup couldn't have possibly been better.

and dude, "reported" is not the preferred nomenclature. it reeks of hall monitor.

For the Monday Night game intro (that justed viewed) they show Hank Williams, Jr. (of course) playing with Brian Setzer, Jon Bon Giovi, some Country singer dame, and they do a very quick flash to a keyboard player. The keyboard player looks a lot like Page McConnell from Phish. Anybody got a bead on this one?

 

Go 'Skins.

was it

Admin edit: Link above removed for annoyance factor. Thank you.

yeah, that was awesome.

yeah, what happened in that game? it was like a hockey game where both teams pulled their goalies. there were no punts at all in the second or third quarter. crazy.

the argument that they're in trouble because they got caught is disturbing and clinton-esque. they're in trouble because they cheated. not everyone else does it, the patriots do it.

i don't mean to dis your tubes or anything. i've just had several bad batches (not individual tubes). svetlanas sound really good in my amps (a 5150 and a tweed 212 combo).

the original post annoyed me to the point where i wanted to tell him to go to hell, but he's already in rhode island.

bob at eurotubes knows his stuff. he's a nice guy and a good resource. 10 years ago he used to post on the peavey forums all the time, then his business started to take off. he's a good one.

that said, i personally HATE ruby tubes. they're made in china and have some really wide variations in the quality control dept. MESA and GT are remarkers. they rematch other brand tubes and print their label on them. I tended to go with the svetlana tubes (i think they're made in Finland or Russia) in all my old amps. i haven't had to retube my carvin, but since it's a "vintage style" amp, i might spring for some NOS telefunkens or something. i really don't know.

it's a pretty town with expensive housing. be wary of methheads - spokane might be the meth-iest place on earth. as far as transit, i really don't have much experience with it.

go seahawks!

rick rubin made reign in blood. he'll be forever relevant for that alone.

classic 30 = great, underrated amp

i can't f'ing believe the incompetence of the browns. when they became the ravens, i gave up on football. when the reformed browns drafted frye, i got reinterested. my favorite team has pretty much always been the seahawks, but i haven't been able to watch as much as they're rarely on tv here. this makes it easier to not bother with the browns for me.

time to get a seahawks #5 jersey.

lois ln.

really

is it even possible for an NFL team to concede to another NFL team?

i did my best to look cool as fuck and smoke a lot of cigarettes. everyone wanted me in their band.

but for real - craigslist.
