So Tony had to bail from practice today so new ( not so new anymore?) drummer and I hung out and shot the shit about light shows, big ass gongs and ended up watching Pink Floyds "Live at Pompeii" cause he'd never seen it. Say what ya want about floyd but to me, that was them at the top of their art and I love how it gives insight into how they made music. Good stuff. Makes me want to write more epic 20-30 minute long songs. and have light shows. Groovy heavy shit man

I love Floyd. The live at Pompeii is killer too. That is what I want to strive towards with any shows I do. And nothing wrong with 20 minute epic songs.

[Iommic Pope]

I agree with all of the above regarding Floyd.

Also captain, your new tattoo rocks! I kinda want to on a gear buying rampage once I'm done releasing myself from complete financial servitude, but I do have a lot of ink I want to get done. Now...I'm thinking ink. I have enough gear I don't already use though to really justify it.

Also, desert Elvis was the poon.

Edit: wanted to ask this the other day, didn't get time: does anyone know what pedal old matey from lichens is using in om to get his real plucky harmony sounds? Is it a pog, hog, or other?

[dazedbyday]

Hahaha, well you did go into a veggie thread and tell them that being a veggie is subhuman. Not really a way to start a debate.

HI GUYS! I've been away mostly on account of tragedy. The first minor tragedy is I blew up my Bassman 135. We were sound checking at the Croc and when I flipped it on it went "fizz fizz fail". Two fizzes and nothing. I had to use the backup amp that night which is a Lab Series L4. Which is a great amp to cart around as a backup amp IN THEORY. It sounds so good when you don't actually need it. But on stage it drove me nuts. So anyway I got the Fender back to the space and then I couldn't make it fuck up. It worked fine. So then came our first practice after the failure. I went in the room by myself and was crankin up all over the place. It sounded great. So the rest of the guys came in and on the very first note we hit my amp gave a flash and a cloud of really harsh smoke. So I went back to the L4 and it was just fucking with my head. I mean I'm told we sounded just fine the night I had to play that thing but it just doesn't get me all zenned up 'n shit. So I broke out the big gun. That's right, Super Lead Overdrive to the rescue. For some reason I didn't bother to take the time to get the Ape Blaster to sound right with it before. And it sounded so instantly right with the Bassman I just figured I'd go that route and put the SLO up for awhile. Well this has all been a blessing in disguise because now I have the Ape Blaster dialed in PROPER on the clean channel which still leaves me the unadulterated drive channel so instead of just dirty and clean I get two dirties and a clean! The two channels share the EQ so I got real lucky. Basically I use the pedal/clean most of the time. Sometimes we kick off the fuzz and get mellow and then afterwards kick it back on to crush beards and melt vaginas. So now when I kick it back on I use the overdrive channel and it's just this tiny fraction deeper sounding which lends a smidgen of triumphantness to a heavyass outro. It's the best I've ever sounded and that of course brings the band up a little too. I'm pretty fucking happy about this 'tragedy' or at least I will be until I get the repair bill on the Fender.

But the other tragedy is pure suck and it's a bring down every fucking day since. My main dog Marco died. One day he's having like a double size walk and the next he stopped eating. Five days later he died of his own accord. Everybody likes their dog the best but even amongst my dogs this dude was special. He was the mellowest animal I ever knew. I don't think it's even possible to have another like him.

[LOCOPELAND]

So sorry for your loss, man. I can only imagine how you feel. I love my dog so much. Your description of your dog sounds just like my Darby.

I'm gonna cry like a bitch when she passes.

[AngryGoldfish]

Wow, Darren, I'm truly sorry. He is an awesome looking pooch. I love Pit Bulls with a passion and hate to see them suffer as they do, so it's wonderful to know you gave him a good life.

You might like to read this. It's not going to help very much but it's still lovely. Sorry about the size. I can't find a bigger image. It's the ending that counts.




Pink Floyd have been one of my favourite bands for over ten years.

[D-Day]

That kid knows the deal. Marco was 12 which is old but still too fucking young. And yes vidret, that's both a stick and a ball. He'd carry things in his mouth for MILES.

[AngryGoldfish]

My Jack Russel/Terrier cross breed died at around 12 as well from a complication during a stomach operation. She had more life left in her. I know she did. It's funny how some dogs know it's their time, though. Humans will fight it and demand a second chance, but pups and cats, they just find somewhere quiet and pass.

[D-Day]

I hope to go the same way when I'm super old.

[AngryGoldfish]

I hope when my cat decides it's her time I'll know where to find her so I can bury her. There are a lot of wild animals around where I live and she's an outdoor cat with loads of favourite hiding spots.

[new05002]

Sorry to hear D. Never easy to lose a good pet. Concerning the fender, could be a blown power tube or maybe u burn a screen resistor. Likely candidates IMO

[AxAxSxS]

Darren, so sad to hear about Marco. I had seen that on facebook but didn't want to message you about it as it seemed you were taking a break from social media to grieve. I hope your heart is on the mend. You've def got a big heart so it might take a little longer. I don't know if you got to meet all our dogs when you were down here, but our newest is an old man Dogo Argentino who came to us with some severe health problems. He's been steadily improving but I know his time with us may be short. I'm just glad we get to give him some love for as long as he's with us. I know you took great care of Marco and that he was a HAPPY dog. Just try to keep that in mind. It's rough, when you loose a furry family member, hell it tears me up. I'm a little choked up just thinking about it and what you must be feeling now.

Also if you guys are running short on spare amps, I have an extra Earth head and an ACC 150 you can borrow anytime. just say the word.
