According to H. P. Lovecraft:
"The actual sound - as nearly as human organs could imitate it or human letters record it - may be taken as something like Khlul'-hloo, with the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly."
"The best approximation one can make is to grunt, bark, or cough the imperfectly formed syllables Cluh-Luh with the tip of the tongue firmly affixed to the roof of the mouth. That is, if one is a human being. Directions for other entities are naturally different."

I've never gotten up the nerve to try it out for myself out loud.

That must sound amazing. I use a solid state head so when having to crank it with drums in a smaller space it's so rough. very rough

Not playing as much? Or using a different amp?
I've been playing sans amp for a while because my distortion pedal fucked up and I can't stand the clean sound of my amp when I'm playing metal that should be distorted. It works for clean transitions or intros or what have you, but bugs the shit out of me when it should be distorted. Playing sans amp also helps me concentrate more on the notes and music and less on the tone, which has helped my playing.

That sucks. Get some new tubes and rock out. Anyone would be taking advantage of a head like that. I only played a tube amp once when in the beginning stages of guitar playing like 5,6 years ago and it was a peavey 5150 2x12 combo amp and it was the most clear warm amazing sounding amp, but they are so expensive even for just a combo. I have been using my old ampeg head on and off for probably 3,4 years and it sounds like concrete falling. Great sounding amp at a low volume and once you have to push it even through a 4x12 it's a mess.
I did notice if a ran a dr distorto module through the disto channel it was much better at a louder volume.

The amp I use most of the time is a Kustom solid state bass 1x6, which sounds bad ass with distortion. I have an older than all fuck Alamo (a small local company long since dead) tube 1x12 that isn't loud enough or powerful enough anymore for guitar but sounds great for voice, and since I practice both about equally I keep each one dedicated to one purpose instead of having to switch cables out and all that shit.

I hardly ever play anymore. I cant find anyone to play some metal with. it really sucks.
lol. I dont need any new tubes. its loud as fuck and sounds great.
If I could only find some other people that like metal
Sometimes you just need to do it for personal satisfaction and not expect anything. I have a similiar problem and do not know how to form a metal band. I just live in a small town and their is not really even somewhat heavy music period. I could have joined a punk band recently and just did not want to do it regardless being able to play what the band wrote.
Lately I have just really enjoyed playing alone and putting riffs together. Having a friend also into metal who plays does give me drive because if I do have a few songs that seem classic can eventually atleast show them to someone.
I just play guitar and have not gotten bored where attempting to also play a second or third instrument and right now don't really care if I was in a band or signed,etc... The person who I have similiar musical taste with does not really give a shit about playing an instrument as a mean to get somewhere also or have a band and will just play drums,bass,guitar and record alone where it sounds like a full band. I just focus mainly on playing guitar. You just have to sometimes look at where you live,etc... and realize you might not do anything with it, but you can still love playing. I'm not going to let my surroundings or other peoples musical interests take my musical drive away. Maybe one day you will find people and than you will know how to play well.

I sort of missed the boat on the AIM screennames discussion, but allow me to throw me screenname in here:

It's pronounced Khtulu like a standard X sound in Russian,I think. Sort of like you pronounce the word final [ch] in Pesach(Passover)if you ever do, that is.
