geeze

I just didn't want to leave a blank post

Then you might think I said something cleaver but deleted it

Al, one of these days... BAM ~ ZOOM!

So then... not ONE single Dethklok (Brendon Small) fan up in here? I've been listening to his albums for a couple of years now and truly the man is a genius on the guitar. I've never been able to swallow death-metal vocals, at all, but Dethklok is parody and for whatever reason, I give it permission. The more I listen to Dethalbum I & II the more amazing stuff I hear, if you give it a chance I think you'll be quite surprised. The fact that Brendon needs Mike Keneally on stunt guitar should be the first hint. I remember when MK joined the touring line-up he was quoted as saying "Everybody thinks that this is brain-dead metal, but it's anything but that, this stuff is VERY hard to play." Brendon is currently working on a solo album, so maybe that will open up people's eyes as what kind of a monster player he is.

So come on... give it a chance.. it's VERY funny and highly talented stuff, Joe loves Metalocalypse, so that should be the second hint. Here's a bit from season 3, hopefully soon to be Dethalbum III.
Enjoy!

Sorry Scub- If I were in the market for an acoustic, I would probably just buy a $100 Ibanez starter guitar. If it looks acoustic and sounds acoustic, then IMO, it's just an acoustic. I'd rather spend my money on effects or another electric or some such thing to tweak my tone. Looking at an Epiphone G-400 Cherry at the moment. Probably do a p/u mod at put an Angus Young at the neck and a Classic '57 HB at the bridge. That is if the government does something about the debt ceiling and I get my paycheck next month, but that's another matter..... Good luck on the gear hunt.

Guitarman77897 -  New Bigfoot teaser on the Home page. Its only a few seconds longer than the other but now you get more than three words from Sammy.

muha ha >=;P nice one!

Gonna go see the last Harry Potter movie tonight. Which is cool since it doesn't come out for a couple more days, its on an IMAX screen and its free.

We saw Transformers 3 last weekend, thoroughly enjoyed it, but then I'm a HUGE fan of the entire franchise pretty much, love going through it all again with my boy Max (Maximus Prime). He lucks out that Daddy is a weirdo completist and has alllll that stuff. (even have the original animated uncut with the "oh shit!" line),

What I'm seriously anxious for is Captain America! Saw the trailer for that and holy moley, lemme yell you, TOOL's Forty Six & 2 never sounded SO good! Fits well too, perfect really.

Hey Jon, does Mike Keneally have a login here? He IS band afterall. It'd be nice to see a little different color ink around here every now'n again.

Show of hands for the Ottawa show Sunday, I'll be wearing my shiny new Tony MacAlpine tee, has everybody heard his new album yet? Absolutely Killer. It was really great to see him included in the Cliff benefit.

George Henry Hubert Lascelles RIP

Scub- I've really been on an AC/DC kick lately, even put a bid down on an Angus siggy model last week. Then I thought that the Epi G-400 was probably roughly equivalent to a JS-100 of a real SG, so long as I put the proper p/u's in there. I haven't gone to GC to see if they have one in stock to check out, but they have several hundred good reviews on multiple sites.

Phy- I am pretty stoked about Captain America, too. There was a question about him on Final Jeopardy a couple days ago and I actually got it right because of the trailers for the movie! Saw the last Transformers a couple weeks ago and it was my fave out of the three. I am assuming Michael Bay will end it now? Also went and saw Cars 2 with my nephews last week and it was good (not as good as the first, though). The first one is classic, IMO. The second one was mainly about Mater. If anyone here cares about Cars, haha.

It all depends on what side of the international dateline you live on.
