ahh that's cool we've been playing about once a month, next one is May 13th at the Sando in Newtown

Sweet, lock it in eddie.... mean PIG

"next one is May 13th at the Sando in Newtown"

i might roll up for a sus.. sando is my local anyhut so not major effort.

Could make it a bit of an 'unofficial sk8parx catchup and get drunk and shit' event.

sounds good.. still meaning to hit you up for some beers PIG but flat out with a project-from-hell atm.

Having said that, sussing a band at the local isnt going to affect that cos id be out getting mashed either way.. ha

METAL AND WOLFKAHN should definately play a show together

yo shutdown. i've just moved down to syd, i live in summer hill near the station. i always seem to end up in at newtown, we should grab a beer cunt

oath.. DeathMoth, and oath a sk8parx metal and beers night would be sweet.

make it happen elder, im super keen to come see the kahn as well but everytime I see you guys on a bill its on one of those 24 metal bands in 24 hours gigs which im usually too lazy to navigate.. A good olde 3-4 band night would be awesome.. Fucking book in Metal, Wolfkahn and Some other goons (ibex?) for a show somewhere like the sando pronto..

fuck gimme a month or two's notice and I'll put a metal band together to play support with you cunts hahaa..

elder on guest vocals, sequenced guitar and bass and my lame arse on guitar..

"sequenced drums and bass"

haha
i'm talkin to these kiwi cunts about getting this band happening. i was with them last night and it erupted into a Spinal Tap band feud...pretty sure the lads are gunna bail on the drummer.

in other news... where the fuck is my Slave To The Grind cd?

oi i know everyone thinks flod-roses are shit

but

i took out one spring because it was really stiff and now it feels good but was that a bad idea?

also have the low E fine tuner screwed right up so i can loosen it to drop d

i love floyd rose, don't put words in my mouth bitch

taking a spring out is ok

but your method of drop tuning will only give you hassles. as you loosen the string, there is less tension on the bridge causing the bridge to want to pull back, which means more tension on the strings...everything goes out of tune. don't try to tell me that it works either because i grew up with a floyd rose and have tried it all

Anyone know what kinda guitar this is, maybe a Teisco or something;

Sorry DeathMoth i love you

thanks aswell
so would that be bad for the neck maybe aswell? ill probably just set it up in drop d and leave it there

yeh i think you'll find im the only one who thinks floyyd roses are shit on here, most ppl have balanced points of view and accept all forms of guitar where as im a narrow minded prick who shoves his opinions up everyones arse whether they were lubed up for it or not.

and to whoever it was that said you would never hear the difference in tone live, just not the case. recall the last gig i went to 'meshuggah' had 2 support acts, one had the usual metal floyd rigs x 2 the other had 2 x les pauls and the difference in the tone was HUGE with the les paul band. I might also add they were running similar / same amp setups (triple rectifiers). Just had that wailing frantic tone where as the floyds had that stale / flat sound..

definitely is a sound difference...but can also be attributed to the wood and amount of wood in the guitar. Les Pauls are fat, heavy cunts and hence have that kind of tone. most floyd equiped guitars are fair skinny and hence have a "smaller" tone.

What guitar will have tone similar to a les paul that isn't a les paul or an ugly metal guitar?

thanks fellas

mr magpie you could try the ESP Eclipse. i've tried a few out and they're actually pretty decent. i'd probably buy one of those over a Les Paul. The quality of new Gibsons is pretty bad and the ESP's all felt amazing and had that big les paul kind of sound

Cheers but I'm not a big fan of the les paul shape

"What guitar will have tone similar to a les paul that isn't a les paul or an ugly metal guitar?"

A PRS would probably do the trick ;-)

Any decent sized mahogany body guitar with glued on neck and the right pickups will have a similar sound to a les. If you go for those specs and look around the cheaper brands then shove a seymour antiquity or something similar pickup wise you might be able to get a decent little les sound without the les shape.

yeah cheers man ill just keep my eyes out for something nice

God les' are ugly.

you've got no idea about style then
