Now this I can agree with. Most definitely. It goes back to the Vest Metal atricle you posted in the Doom Room a while ago.....

If you think Weed and Doom is cliche read that article and you'll be 'ing even harder..... IMO / YMMV of course....
It kindof shocked me how much the tide turned in the three year span from 2005-2007. The extreme music scene seems like it completely ate its own tail. In 2005 we had bands breaking all kinds of new ground freely experimenting like an albatross and daughters and hot cross. That whole thing kindof imploded and we ended up with two things emerging as dominant. Doom and black metal. I still remember reading the articles decibel used to write downing black metal...i never got it. Black metal has proven to be a major creative force in the last 5-7 years and i couldnt be happier...but it seems like you have doom riding on its coattails.

Because kids are afraid of the govt and in despair and locked into a paranoid online virtual life and only BLACK DOOM METAL can sooth their cold cold hearts...

Precise reason why there are 2 Weed faceplates on DA120s.
how about a dude getting a blow job on the faceplate of a DA120. I like blowjobs.
if that is what you wanted. Sure. Some people want this, Some people want that. Out of the majority of the amps and pedals I have built only 2-3 had drug reference on them.
'ing even harder..... IMO / YMMV of course....
