[quote name='The Admiral' timestamp='1446283226' post='2898288'] [url="http://classicrock.teamrock.com/news/2015-10-30/metallica-new-album-sounds-like-death-magnetic-kirk-hammett"]http://classicrock.t...ic-kirk-hammett[/url] Apparently it sounds a lot like Death Magnetic according to Kirk. Oh well - 7 years in the making (so far) and they are still in that territory. Also interesting to note that they are recording it piecemeal - Hetfield and Ulrich doing the drums and guitars in full, and then Kirk goes in to do his stuff. That sounds like a joyful experience, and will be a great reminder of why they wanted to be in band. I'll repeat myself, but somebody needs to tell them the King has no clothes on, and they need to stop doing gimmicky festival shows, with fans on stage, crapping on about 'the Metallica family' all the time, - rehashing the same set list they've done for 20 years, and give up the now almost complete descent into the Spinal Tap parody, 'chicken in the basket' casino circuit act. Get away from your families, your millionaire toys, your ass kissing personal assistants : get into a room, jam as a band, and give yourself a deadline by which you have to have it finished - and record it as a band - live, on analogue. I'd even suggest another Garage inc. would be a good starting point - get back to playing what you loved as a kid, and for the joy of doing it. Give the inevitable money to a charity. I feel like I'm watching an old friend kill himself through an addiction (in this case to bullshit and ego), and can do nothing to help. Intervention required. Very sad. [/quote] i think the rehashing an old set list is harsh, they havent played the same set in quite sometime! yes there are similar songs as they have to do the hits. im interested to hear there new stuff, death magnetic was not a bad album, there i said it! people need to deal with the fact robs in there and writing. atleast metallica are open to trying different things, having the fans on stage is i think a good idea what a memory for those fans?

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1446385397' post='2898926'] used to have one way back when. i see he has a volume mod, needs it, was unusably loud before!! [/quote] absolutely!

Im turning into a right Fuzzrocious Fan boy and im not even sorry! http://fuzzrociouspedals.com/product/tremorslo/ this this sounds really nice, its similar in a way to the cicada but with out the fuzz. dual speed and the tone control is a really cool addition. cant wait for mine to turn up! Andy

ANyone played the Arc Effects Big Green?

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1446231854' post='2898023'] Thorpyfx muffroom cloud. Mine arrives on Monday! [/quote] have seen this but for me its not getting me excited, im trying to work out how the mids in the stache work as for me they are key! in a metal/doomy band its really needed to be heard in the mix. the lows in the tfr are crazy but again hows it sit in a mix with heavy guitars? Andy

[quote name='tonyxtiger' timestamp='1446231583' post='2898020'] Had a stache and sold it. It seemed pretty decent but I found it got a bit lost. In terms of the heavy chorus and octave use, me too... I find the COG stuff works well with those and also the Dwarfcraft eau Clare / silver rose. Black arts pharaoh seems a good shout for the bass too. [/quote] got myself a tarkin on the board already ;-)

So my boards pretty big! but im thinking of adding another flavour of fuzz, im thinking either wren and cuff TFR or Fuzzrocious grey stache basically something muff based? ive listened to alot of demos of them they both seem heavy as hell! but how do they take being layered with other effects, i use octaves and chorus heavily but also like to stack drives. anyone care to share there 2 cents? Andy

sometimes a bit of drive will help, maybe something to fatten like a chorus or when the guitarist hits a solo try playing something a bit dif to the normal riff andy

hi all my band is opening for Evil Scarecrow next friday cant wait for this as those guys are wicked! https://www.facebook.com/events/497896223709392/

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1446068836' post='2896723'] I'm gonna need a bigger [s]boat[/s] board! [/quote] yes......yes you are! andy

something for my just worked when i played thru an 810 for the first time, something about the sealed cab and the way its built just works for me, ive tried alot of rigs but my ashdown is the one that stuck around (i know this thread is about ampegs but my mag is a sealed 810) that works with the way i play, yes there are lighter and more efficient cabs out there but for me its the 810. and if you have decent band mates and a reasonable car the moving around really isnt to bad. Andy

hi guys we put together a quick video for one of our newest tracks Revenge kill please check it out and let me know what you think..... managed to get my pedalboard in there aswell ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPbcuhp3Ehw andy

Heres a little video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVC_U53DG7o andy

[quote name='tanuki' timestamp='1445375776' post='2891106'] Hey there, It was me with the retro bass and the old Sovtek fuzz, The bass was indeed a Reverend Rumblefish, great basses with the best necks ever. They look bizarre but can be a real fender jazz killer.. I had some flats on that one but need to get some round-wounds back on there as the bass really shines with them. Next time i will hopefully be able to bring more and get my pedalboard sorted out so people can try it properly!! [/quote] that rev was a nice bass! andy

[quote name='nickytheafghan' timestamp='1445346411' post='2890723'] I've just picked up this absolute gem of a pedal! Anyone else got an insane amount of love for COG at the minute?? Had a few pedals for quite a while now, keep going back for more.... Sexy video for those uninitiated https://youtu.be/UEvfbd4c6ZM [/quote] Love my t65, I have it as part of my custom cog pedal Andy

[quote name='Cotswoldbassguitars' timestamp='1445284430' post='2890309'] Hi Andy - the tunes on the Shuker were not at all distasteful! Glad you enjoyed playing it and liked the 'insane' colour! Norm - read what Andy said!!! [/quote] that was seriously an awesome colour!

[quote name='Norm' timestamp='1445282902' post='2890284'] Hi David, Message from my wife, apparently, I don't need them at all! Bah humbug. [/quote] but you do need them honest! also i feel i should say sorry to dave for playing such distasteful things on his lovely shuker..........lol
