My favorite band - Bring Me the Horizon
They really cross different genres. There albums can be unrecognizable from each other. Like these two songs couldn't be more different but they can pull it off.
I guess my previous post was lost during the hack/outage.
Vintage instruments are cool, but my hope is someday I'll have the tools and the skills to be able to build cool and wacky guitars like this.
I would love to be able to build something for my son, who is 10x the guitarist I am. He fell in love with music instead of falling in love with guitar playing, which is what I did.
And this pallet wood guitar is really cool. I love the fret markers he put on it. Really subtle and elegant.
Can anyone who loves active pickups, like EMGs or Fishmans, tell me why you like them? And they're an obvious choice more metal but do you use them for any other genre?
Imagine Dragons
I'm pretty no one here is a fan. I don't like them either although I don't hate them as much as others seem to hate them.
But you would never guess what their first album sounded like. They've changed a LOT.
They should play this song in their concerts lol.
I got a heavier focused guitar to play riffs from my favorite band Bring Me the Horizon.
Example below.
I tried playing this stuff with my Gretsch, which has humbuckers, but it just sounded and felt wrong. Same with my P90 Revstar.
I ended up buying a cheap 7 string and it's awesome for practicing. I keep the seventh string in drop tuning so I can practice heavy riffing and still have standard tuning on strings 1-6. No more having to tune down in between songs.
I define an earworm song as inherently annoying. It digs into your brain and it won't vacate.
Here's the rare earworm song that's still a good song.
And here is the much more common annoying as shit earworm song. How did this become a hit? That synth phrase at 1:10 is awful but catchy. Catchy in a really really bad way, like a car alarm.
My wife told me she'd never seen Leon the Professional before so we watched that last night.
It's a great movie, made by someone who really knows how to direct. It's kind of shocking how much better it is than current movies, how much more competent and confident the direction is.
But...there are some genuinely creepy scenes with Natalie Portman are very difficult to watch. Worse than I remember.
