How many fucking tuning pegs does he have on his guitar? It looks like he's got 9. What's up with that?

The three topstrings are doubled, 12string styling.

Both bands were on the inaugural Sounds of the Underground tour together a few years back. I remember Mike commenting that he had no idea HoF would be there, and that they were really one of the only bands he cared for.
Reckon they hit it off there.

When I saw High of Fire, at an Opeth show, it was just a total disaster. They really sucked. So I'll be basing myself on my first impression for now.

All the long, we did only hear power chords from guitars, punk rock beats from the drum and retarded solos from the frontman.

I recently started listening to them, since I'll be seeing them at the Opeth show next week. I can see why people don't like them, but I still like their music. It's much more straightforward than Opeth but I enjoy their thick, heavy riffs and the aggressive, doomy atmosphere.

Oh well.. that's exactly where I was. And they missed their opening song. We could only hear the bass and the drum... because the frontman's guitar jack dropped. So they stopped the song halfway.

I never go upfront. The sound is always better further back.
