There's a lot less tension on a guitar neck, if that means anything...

One reason to change the strings one by one, is if the strings are keeping the bridge in place.

Our guitarist who got us this show just ignored everybody else's suggestions and went with their own thing I guess. I don't know if I could actively think of such a shitty band name if I was trying, but even so we might not have been the worst-named artist on the bill

Kankle is better than those names.

You could have a pretty cool "metal" logo for Kankle with like lightning bolts and stuff.

Negative 150 USD, it's pay to play.

You put down a $50 deposit, they give you tickets, you sell them to friends and family and if you cough up $100 more the day of you are allowed to play?

I wasn't asked to help or contribute to this and only found out about the arrangement afterwards. It's an expensive way to practice one's stagecraft I suppose? The result was a bill where none of the acts had anything to do with each other musically, and none of the audiences deigned to watch any of the acts but the one they were attached to.

I'll post a video of Amart later, you guys will be fucking amazed.

Jesus!  They still do that?  I remember playing exactly two of those in the early 90s.  One was like you said and totally sucked so we were Dicks and they shut us down after our bass player got naked. The second one we commandeered the ticket sitch with other friends bands and it turned out cool except for about 200 people in a place designed for 1500.

In other blog news, the other day I went into my studio and fired everything up for the first time in months. Played some synths, from red up the Marshall and Orange. Man that shit sounds killer. Immediately got bored. I need some inspiration.

Deadlines have a way of focusing the mind. Maybe you should schedule a gig.

OMG more like tramA. Cool show though, you have to re-book.

Those chicks are probably ringers he hired on Craigs List. For one thing, they don't know how to dance. And they don't know his songs.

I'm interested in Boss pedals now, and DOD. The ones I didn't buy like 30 years ago. Feels like life is coming around full circle.

i love my dod pedals.

My friend loaned me his Boss HM-2. It kills. The price went way up on these though, which sucks. It's got that grinding, 90s Godflesh kind of sound. It sounds like destruction.

If Dora plays like me all's lost. 

Are they still teaching kids this, or have they come up with something less sexist?

Those HM2's. I used to be a dumping ground for those things in the early 90's. They'd just appear out of nowhere, at one point I had 4 of them collecting dust.  When the MetalZone came out, everyone moved on to those. 

Then of course i lost them or whatever over the years, and everyone is all about them again.  Of course, they sounded best when the battery was dying.
Vinyls.   deal.

Fuck this cheap JBL shit.

It's time for some QSC.

I need some PA speakers too :(

I don't want to spend QSC money, it's for really limited use. Which means they won't sound that great.
