Bandcamp. As someone who has music on it and who buys music from it, I love it. It's also the best platform to get paid for original music, in my experience.

You can also hear him with Kyuss, Masters of Reality, Mondo Generator, Vista Chino, Dwarves, Stöner and more. Not a small body of work by any means.

Roger Patterson - one recorded album and a handful of demos Doug Keyser - two albums, an EP and some demos

That's good stuff, nice one.

Ideally, you want to present your band with the best first impression possible. If you think what venues and promoters should hear is different to what potential fans should hear, maybe you need two different recordings. For original doom stuff, a lot of your gigs will come by talking to other bands, keep that in mind. Find some other bands you like the sound of and talk to them and also whoever recorded them, ask their advice. Personally, I'm of the mind that clean recordings can easily be made heavy and dirty but a dirty recording can only ever be dirty, sometimes at the expense of heaviness.

Every major label CEO who didn't recognise the sea-change in music consumption which mp3 and Napster pointed towards and let the delivery of their catalogues (and payment thereof) be controlled by third parties.

Never underestimate the amount of money Fender, Gibson, etc spend on marketing, especially making sure their instruments are seen in the hands of popular artists.

Well, he was a herion addict at the time.

The amount of bands referred to as "Thrash" who don't, and never have, played thrash, would make even Jonathan Davis wallow in an unending realm of self-pity. For real.

How is your amp EQ'd? Are you using both pickups together or just one? If one, which one? I've used various J basses for rock over the last 30+ years and never had an issue. If you've scooped the bejesus out of the mid frequencies, on what is already a design which naturally isn't mid-biased, then it's easy to be in the position you're in.

Steve Jones playing on the Megadeth version won't have helped Lydon warm to it either.

Give me 38mm or give me death!

With a dice, it only goes up to 6.

Everything is cyclical but, hopefully, not in this case.

They're not supposed to lean either way.

He put out an album called Gravelands about 20 years ago. It's actually very listenable.

Filling and matching would be a pain. Perhaps transparency would work?

I don't mind them but generally lean towards not having them. When they're used to facilitate cheap and crap manufacturing processes, often on quite expensive instruments though, that's unforgivable

Top job, well deserved, that synth line is fantastic 🙂👍🏻

You don't need to imagine, there are plenty of links in the thread.

I'll LOOK OUT for it!

Focus is fretless Kubicki with some Chapman Stick. The Pestilence and initial Atheist sessions were a couple of years before Focus was recorded, around the same time Masvidal and Reinert were doing Human and Gobel was playing on Imperial Doom. Choy left to join Atheist full-time for Elements.

You could replicate the effect by setting up an amp in the corner, at full volume, plug in a guitar and just leave it to feedback?
