  1. I agree with this...I played an Ibanez for about 4 years (until it was stolen). After that I went to playing American Standard Strats and Les Pauls. The necks are much more comfortable for my large hands.
  2. they look like nice guitars, but i could do without the colors/stain/paint thing. i prefer natural wood or solid colors.
  3. My opinion: Drums: Horrible, the snare sounds like it's a 2" piccolo being beaten with a redwood tree. The rest of the kit sounds terrible too. I can record better sounds in my basement. Guitars: Weak. no solos, why is Kirk Hammet there? If there are no solos, James Hettfield can play by himself. Bass: Unimpressive. Lyrics: Ridiculous. Even some of the high school kids around here write better lyrics than this crap. "I'm madly in anger with you, I'm madly in anger with you, I'm madly in anger with you." What the hell is that? I loved Metallica when I was growing up. I still listen to Kill 'em All, Master of Puppets, ...Justice, and yes even the black album. I think everyone should just download the album to piss Lars off. I usually don't condone downloading music that isn't given out by the artist. But in this case, don't waste your money.
  4. That's awesome man. I love tool and audioslave. When you're done tracking put something up on the net so we can check it out!
  5. That's awful pretty... Dear Santa...I've been really good this year....
  6. ryeisnotcool--just checked out your stuff...pretty cool man. What kind of guitar/amp are you playing on that recording (If You, and Propoganda)? I'm going to have to check out IUMA to list my bands there...
  7. Does anyone have any comments at all? Does it suck? Does it rock?
  8. Hey there everyone! I'm pretty new around here and I'd like to get your opinion. My band has just been selected as one of the Editor's Picks on The Washington Post MP3 site. If you have the time check it out and let me know what you think. I'd love to get the perspective of some fellow players... I actually have two bands listed on the site. "Urthgirl" was the one chosen by the editor, and "The Urthmen" is my other band. Check 'em both out. You can also go to our websites, they should be up and running tonight or tomorrow. We've had some changes in the bands and are changing the sites..... Rock on! http://mp3.washingtonpost.com/index.shtml Urthmen Site Urthgirl Site
  9. I definately use my volume knob, not so much the tone knob. I rewired a strat so that I have an active pickup in the bridge position and passive pickups in the middle and neck positions. So, in that case I use the volume to control the gain difference between passive and active. It also allows you to adjust the amount of gain from your guitar giving you control over the distortion level on your amp. So, I guess what I'm saying is I would keep the volume if it were me.
  10. I completely agree. I love the weight of my Les Paul. When I switch to my semi-hollow Tele it feels weird. I would also suggest Ash. I have a Strat made from Swamp Ash that is great, awesome sustain.
