    What I Did Cuz Of What Dominik Did Cuz Of What Ed Did

    I put KK in the same category as Janick from Maiden - great rhythm player, great songwriter for the band, not an enjoyable lead player. I'll have to cue up Victim to listen again. Maybe after this conference call.

    What I Did Cuz Of What Dominik Did Cuz Of What Ed Did

    Glenn is a fucking BEAST. I love his playing. I even bought his solo album, which was mostly forgettable. KK was a solid rhythm guitarist, but I never got into his lead style.

    What are you doing while being stuck at home?

    My parents were born and raised in the Bronx. They moved to upstate New York before I was born (I have 3 older sisters). They retired to Long Beach Island, NJ. I almost married a girl from Bayonne. Holy fuck, did I dodge a bullet there.

    What are you doing while being stuck at home?

    It's been busier than usual for me lately, but not strictly related to Corona. In February, Lisa and I replaced our cars with newer used cars, and getting some of the niggly bits worked out with them has taken time. The pump for the pool filter went out, so there goes $1500. Yesterday the hot...

    What are you doing while being stuck at home?

    You have two VERY at-risk people in close proximity. Be super careful and good luck. I'm glad you've got a savings and the timing is good. 💜💜

    Seriously? Dude, that's humbling. In 35 years of playing, I don't think I've ever been made aware of anyone learning something I wrote. Thank you.

    What Ed did

    That's awesome. I think the guitarists are talented but VERY generic, and I think Andy's voice is really distinctive in the hard rock/heavy metal genre, so I dig it. He is just too goddamn pretty though. "The gift of metal does not smile on the good-looking" - StrongBad

    An awful lot of people here think Tool is over-rated. Hmmmm.....

    What Ed did

    Agreed. Bat out of Hell is a classic. When I first heard "A Little Piece of Heaven," my first thought was a "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" influence. Bat out of Hell II was pretty good, too. I haven't cared for anything else. Trivia Time! Celine Dion's hit "It's All Coming Back to Me Now"...

    Li-Sa is from another world. What a dynamo! Check out Alyssaj.day on IG. I like her.

    What guitar to buy for low tuning

    Anything with a 25.5 scale length will be better - that's going to be just about anything but a Gibson (24.75) or a PRS (25). The longer scale length makes tuning stability a bit easier. It's why baritone guitars and especially bass guitars have much longer necks than a standard guitar...

    The only thing I can say aside from what has been said is that with the covers (that are soldered or welded in place), these are physically LARGE pickups. I think they'd fit fine in any pickup rings or in a strat-like pickguard the pickups mount to, but in my direct-mount Ibanez, I'm looking at...

    Heading out for a few days vacation while wife and son are on Spring Break. Going kind of remote - going to check out some lesser known national parks. Mesa Verde is prime on the list. Go look into it. Very cool. See you Tuesday!

    I have a sudden urge to listen to Abba.

    Our favorite bands need us right now

    I meant no disrespect to you or any of our friends here. I sincerely hope that social distancing and other preventive measures people are using helps to stagger the impact of this bug and get us all back to being the filthy, social animals we are very soon. Best of luck!

    Our favorite bands need us right now

    It is an ever-evolving thing. I would urge people to get their information from real sources, like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control). Memes and stuff are fine, but please check the facts before you re-share. And above all, don't panic. The shortages of...
