I actually like the new album, too. I don't like the CD version of events, though. Much better with the DVD. Use the CD as a drink coaster, and rip the DVD audio into an MP3 CD.

My dream band would play prog metal, but not all the numbers have to be 20 minute epic wankfests...:loco: I'd throw in some jazz-fusion, some Afro cuban, acoustic stuff, and a few "out there" pieces and covers. Right now, I hold the low end for a bunch of guys and gals older than me. I don't...

Yes, the Village Vanguard IS a jazz club. Suit and tie required! Small stage too, and I think there's a two drink minimum, so nobody under 21 in there...

I agree here. I suppose this is why I have my post-Black albums in storage, except for S&M, which I actually like a bit. At least I'd like to see how this one turns out. It's no wonder Newsted left. I'm glad to see him in his fave band, Voivod; he deserves it. Even Jean-Yves Theriault...

Normally, I do support bands I like by buying their albums, but I may be tempted to download this one first... :Smug: Maybe with the addition of Rob Trujillo, the band will actually whip itself into shape. Hopefully, they've scrapped all of Bob Rock's bass lines in the album, and allowed Rob...

Cool...another TubeScreamer fan... :) I use two myself, a Soundtank TS-5 and a more recent ToneLok TS7 with the HOT switch. The TS7 's TS-9 mode comes very close to the newer TS-9's in sound. It's also a great pedal for bass overdrive sounds (in HOT mode) a la Voivod (pre-Nothingface) or...

Looks great so far...at least I could help you with the bass...here's a pic of one from the G&L site, it's a SB-2 model, the bass her black workhorse is based on: Let's hope you finish the pic soon... kind of partial to Steph, as I'm a bassist myself. :grin: Not that the others are...

Based on the SB-2, just like her black one?

Yes, do come out to NYC! I don't live too far, so I could probably make it. :) :Spin:

Yes, it's possible, but given the short length that the Maidens are featured in, it's not worth the trouble. MPEG files with the same amount of time as either the low bandwidth or high bandwidth QuickTime clips would actually be slightly bigger, I think. You'll just have to use the free...

If this revelation, and the recent vid clips with Rob Trujillo are any indication, let's hope the band is back in top form. I'd definitely pay to see these guys play, even if I have to wade through all the rapcore newbs. At least I'd show 'em what a real mosh pit is like!!!

Aww I just LUUVVVV this nice shot! :) I used this caption in the www.MusicPlayer.com forums: !!!!!! AWWWWWWW F#$K IT TAZ !!!!!! :tickled::Spin::p:loco:

You can watch fullscreen only if you have QuickTime Pro. :( Or, if you're like me and use Linux or FreeBSD, you can use something called MPLayer from www.mplayerhq.hu, and watch from there. I think there are Windows and MacOSX versions for that...check the site if you even care a bit. Great...

You also need to warm up before speed picking. John Myung of DT, for instance, is well known for warming up two hours before every show, without fail. And that's the entire two hour period, just warming up. No wonder he can play 3-4 hours on every show, and he hardly flubs a note.

I wouldn't give up my 4 strings for anything... :)
