Hey guys! Haven't checked in for some time, and was pleasantly surprised to see the D-Activator discussion! I ditched my 81 (only had 1 pickup in the Ironbird I sold) and now have the D-Activator set in my NT (Neck-Thru) Warlock. Couldn't be happier with the results! I find that the EMGs...

Hell yeah, Kristian! Just leave all your extra parts out by the room you're gonna have the lesson in!

My question is semi-related to Jacob's: Kristian, being the sole guitarist of the band, do you utilize any chorus effects to fatten the guitar sounds, or just stick to the old school way of layering the parts? And if it's just layering, how many layers do you normally lay down for rhythm and...

EMGs sound dead? You haven't played them enough! Kristian, Peter from Vader, Rob & Pat from Cannibal Corpse, Zakk Wylde, Kerry & Jeff from Slayer...all use EMGs. Yet each one of them sounds totally different from the other guy, and they all have amazing tones. And its a very versatile pickup...

You must have very little to do at work, Jacob!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Best. Video. Ever. Kristian is probably learning those sweet licks as we speak!

Sweeet! Wow, you've got tiny bits of metal history in your axe right now! I sent my Ironbird to my tech for a minor tweak too - the ever important KILLSWITCH! Since I don't use a neck pickup, the neck and middle positions of my toggle switch will now kill the signal. Wish I had the balls to...

You should keep that at home! Hope you're given more axes to mess around with, Kristian! Oh, and will you be bringing the thick mahogany Ibby (the purplish/reddish one) on tour, when the tour happens? Or is that more of an experimental guitar for you to try out new tones and stuff?

Oh boyyyy...do I regret selling my Crybaby! It was a source of endless fun! But alas, it didn't have true bypass and it sucked a lot of the tone from my guitar to the amp. Didn't like that at all, and decided to let it go. Together with my MXR distortion + pedal (which is one of the best, if not...

Try bending on 11-50s! I use those, but then again, I'm more of a rhythm player (not a crazy-ass shredder like you or Kristian!). But, you get used to things like this. Hell, SRV was bending the shit out of his 13's - his guitar tech had to advise him to go back to 11s cos he was damaging his...

GASP! Sanding always makes me nervous. If it's a stupid chair or table, fine. But a guitar! I'd be careful if I were you. Are you going to do it manually or with some sort of sander? In any case, a natural (unpainted) neck is just lovely to play. I use Pledge furniture polish from time to...

Whoa, I'm listening to the clip right now and there's a lot of difference! The single coil tone is fantastic! Very country-sounding...I bet it would kill for Eagles / Lynyrd Skynyrd style soloing!

Hey thanks for going through all that trouble of recording. I'm gonna check the sound clip out! P.S. Hey Joe is a kickass song!

Masse has killer vocals, absolutely loved the work he did with HYPOCRISY. Impotent god! Why don't you die? You're full of lies! Go to hell!

I've always wanted to give the Metal Muff a try, but my finances don't allow for any new gear right now so I'm stuck with my DigiTech Death Metal pedal. Not the best pedal, but it works for me as long as none of the knobs go past the 12 o'clock mark. Having the EMG81 pickup has been a blessing...

Holy shit. That would fucking rule. Dark Funeral and Demonoid on the same stage. I'd shit my pants!

Well, I'm going to say something a little off topic, but as you guys have read in the papers (if any of you actually READ! Haha!) there is a HUGE atheist campaign in the US and Europe, with huge billboards on buses and stuff. It says stuff like: BAD NEWS - there is no God. The Good News is that...

You beat me to it, Jacob! Anyway, HI RICKY! Hope all's well with you. I won't bog you down with more questions, as I wanna know the same things Jacob wants to know too (how are the songs different from Riders).

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys! Well, I started out late too...I was around 17-18 when my uncle gave me his Yamaha F-310 acoustic (it was a bitch to play) but now I'm approaching 26 and I'm at a level where I can write and play my own songs, so I'm happy - but the learning never...

Man, you Scandinavians are natural born killers in guitar. It takes an Asian guy like me much longer to do 1% of the stuff you guys do! I've been meddling with blues again, this time with the sweet solo in Hotel California (not pure blues, so what!) - it's great for bends, I've never been the...
