A lot of valid points were made after that, and I'm tempted to weigh back in, as I hadn't really gotten beyond trying to justify why people get nostalgic about genres, but it would seem the intellectual climate took a turn for the worse when that comment was dropped. So, apologies..
Yeah after you left someone started an argument about muse being the next Pink Floyd. I was surprised the argument took up nearly a whole page accounting for like 1/3 of the thread. but It did come to an interesting point; We are living in an age without a Megamythic band. The throne is empty, who are the likely candidates to claim it?
(Shameless plug) I urge all of you to go check it out, don't be afraid to speak your opinion my brothers.
It was more like a friendly open-ended discussion. Everyone saw my points (it was me who brought the Muse/Pink Floyd comparison. And I did so simply to draw attention to the rather large gaping hole in the music business). The biggest bands on the planet aren't Elivs and Pink Floyd and The Beatles and Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath any more. They're Lady GaGa and Rihanna and Westlife and Britney Spears. Muse, Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon, and The Killers then hold the ground for rock music, the closest successor for Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Whether you think they even come close to the level of ingenuity and genius of the Floyd is neither here nor there. It's simply a matter of there being an empty bowl and multiple buckets of water about to flow over. Which bucket will start to fill the bowl first is up to the public, the media, and the industry as a whole, but someone has to fill it eventually, and it's that/those bands that your kids and my kids will view as the next Pink Floyd. We'll grumpily deny it and question their integrity, but ultimately they'll have every right to be emotionally connected to a group of artists, just as we have.

BUT, the OR definitely has more low end to it.. The treble and bass knobs are a lot more responsive on it then the green.
Since the Green is a MVU, it's hard to make it loud on its own for bass without putting the master full and cranking the gain, which I didn't want to do really, I want pedal gain/dirt out of one amp, and clean tone out of the other.
I've only messed around with the OR for a couple of days on a small cab in my house so far though,
This week I'll be hooking it up to an 810 and the Green to a 215.
Just all around very warm sounding amps, I'm very satisfied with both and haven't played anything like either of them before.
I plan on setting them up better to compliment each other, probably the OR on the bassier settings.
Like I said up there, probably for live I want to get a 70's SVT and use it for the clean bass power and the OR for the dirty/gainy sound overtop.
We need pictures of that huge rig when it's all set up. Don't let the Doom Room down, hommie. We're carrying.

It is almost to the point where I don't even wanna do it anymore because of it. What do you guys say?
So what? I've always been compared to Rage Against the Machine, Guns N Roses, and Alice in Chains. I don't like it but it's just their opinion. It won't stop me from being me. And besides, most people are ignorant. They think Harry fucking Styles is a rock god. Also, Slipknot are pretty good. They're a solid band. Not my thing any more, but I respect their musical abilities and the hold they've had on the industry.
