where have you been all my life

Weird, looks kinda like a bigger bodied 335s, neat.

Highly suspect that a pair will pull 300W. Remember you gotta design the entire power supply and OT to get power.

Yeah 300w is quite a claim, and theres no references of finished builds to back it up. Would be kinda nifty though.

High on Fire was awesome last night. Played a handful of songs off the first two albums. Fucking killer shit!

Hell yeah they were. I'm so fucking beat up and bruised today. Hoping around on one leg on the edge of the pit so I can hear the amps instead of the pa was maybe not a great Idea but so worth it.

im in my late 30's…I can imagine the drinking would make a difference…but i can't really drink that much, which means i would be sober, and in my old age i have developed certain cleanliness ocd behaviours…not over the top, but they're there…i don't think "sober" and "festival" would work!

The last time i did it was about 4-5 years ago, and i remember being relatively sober for the majority of the 3 days, and there were a lot of times that i just didn't want to be there. Every festival after that i've managed to get a room in a nearby hotel and just go back and forth between the hotel and festival. The best part about getting a hotel is bumping into "talent".

I went to Bloodstock 3 years ago and Obituary was playing on the saturday…and that night when i went back to my hotel i saw John and Donald in the lobby…just having a drink and chilling out. I really wanted to go and say hi, but my wife was quick to point out that, the last thing they want is to be bothered by a star struck awkward 30 something year old…so i just played it cool and smiled at them as we walked past…John smiled back…-tick- (my wife to this day says he smiled at her…i don't agree…denial is a great thing!)

I'm 25 and I'm the same. I went to Ireland's main festival Oxegen in 2007 and I didn't especially love it, but the few bands that I did get to see for the most part performed excellently. My favourite concerts have always been when the weather is nice and I have a bed and a shower to go home to. I dislike camping and despise all the walking you have to do through fields of mud and fuckwits during festivals. And the cost, fuck me, the cost. I just don't think it's worth it. I could easily spend €300 on a weekend seeing a few bands and watching people piss and puke on themselves. It's not my cup of tea. Plus, I'm a whore for creature comforts. Fuck all wrong with it. It's who I am.

so i tried out the OR15 and the TH30...i have to admit i prefer the TH30...the cleans on it are extremely nice, much nicer than the OR15. I found that with the OR15 i had the treble all the way off and bass all the way on to get a tone i liked...but with the TH30 they were both between 10 and 2 o'clock. On the gain side, TH30 at first was too tight and fizzy and couldn't get the shape control to work, it was either too muffled or it was too modern metal, and was put off by it...but after playing the OR15 i came back to the TH30 and gave it another go...this time i had the shape knob at just a little off 12 o'clock and took down the tone on the guitar down to about 7...suddenly, it sounded freakin' awesome!

I would also say that the clean on the TH30 at the settings i had, sounded a lot like the Rocker 30...which has been my favorite clean tone of any amp I've owned.

Glad you liked it. You tempted by it?

I feel aurally raped after that, emotionally drained. Heaviest shit ever.

Awww sheeeit, I just won a pair of tickets to High on Fire, Kvelertak, & Windhand on Sunday along with a limited edition copy of Kvelertak's new album on vinyl! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck yesssssssssss

Fuck yes, indeed!

got a new job. could be fucking awesome, but we'll see. i haven't really worked for someone else for years, so we'll see how i do. but i sure could use some loot. it pays good and has plenty of hours, and that's something that sure would feel good for a while at least.

Congrats, Parker. All the best with it, mate. I hope it treats you well after the streak of shit that has been piling up on you recently.

^^^awesome. You will find a use for these new implements of sonic destruction.

I'm pleased to announce to the world that I am now officially once and for all, done with the fucking army.

I'm medically retired so I'll still have the VA in my life but hopefully that wont be such an intrusive and burdensome thing.
to celebrate? I made some fried chicken and brewed up some of my favorite blood wine cocktail recipe. Rum and shine with assorted wines, guaranteed to cure what ails you!

I now return you to your regularly scheduled
DooM

Fucking awesome, mate! Have a blast with your new life.

RIP to nelson mandela, also. raise a glass to an amazing man who changed an impossible fucking world.

*proudly raises glass of Jameson*

Honey Boo Boo was just three miles down the road from my house filming their Christmas Special. It is seriously time to fucking move.

Or get your rifle out and practise your skillz.

That Midnight Blue one is lovely, but I don't like the pickguard that much.

I know what you mean...I'm all about the creature comforts!

So the Ironheart is gone...and i'm looking at those TH30's. But the mistake i have made is reading people's opinions all over the internet...which is always conflicting...so now i'm not sure about the TH30. The only thing i'm sure of is the fact that i will buy one of those 1x12 Montage cabs with an Eminence Swamp Thang in it...but as far as the amp goes...my list is growing by the minute:
Marshall JCM800 50w
Matamp (most likely out of my budget)
Orange Rocker 30, TH30, AD30
Jet City JCA22H or the 50w (would have to mod)
Laney AOR 30w or 50w

Anyway...back to research!

Last I read, Matt uses Soldano in the US and Blackstar when overseas. Jeff uses a Blackstar along with his SVT both home and away.

I think Pike's got a baby Blackstar hooked up to the PA now.
