  1. Back on topic - The Sisters of Mercy, Walk Away.
  2. I actually had the link ready to post but I figured it'd be more interesting to hear what you guys would come up with. Hadn't heard this one in a few years. He was an inspiration back when I started recording and I was really into retro, analaog stuff. And then he transitionned to digital right when I did...
  3. They are indeed! I go through phases every now and then when I like to rewatch all those Maiden shows and docs, these included. They're among my favorite musical documentaries. Fascinating to see how Harris kept those detailed diaries, too. Back when I got into heavy metal, in the little twon where I lived, Behind the Iron Curtain and Video Pieces were pretty much the only metal music VHS you could rent. Then Live After Death came out. I guess that made the visual aspect of the band very important for us, even though I never got to see them.
  4. Cinderella - Nobody's Fool. I always though it was a bit sad that they were put into that hair band category - they were essentially a terrific bluesy, rock and roll band. Lots of talent.
  5. And I'm pretty sure I liked that post!
  6. I've always felt that I'd worry that I would end up broke if I had "only" one million. More so than with just a somewhat decent, average income. Having money is expensive. That being said, in this economy, I'm not sure one million should be considered money. I'd probably start worrying at around 20-30 millions...
  7. The Cure - Where the Birds Always Sing
  8. Brian Setzer - As Long as I'm Singin'
  9. Type O Negative: My Grilfriend's Girlfriend.
  10. Very sorry to hear this, man. I do hope you keep pushing and find it in you to post those songs. But I completely understand the struggle with vocals.
  11. I feel you , brother. That stack has been haunting my memory since you first posted it. Oh well - there's Amplitube and Guitar Rig, right? I was raised on Marshall, so obviously, that's what I've been looking for the minute I could imagine buying a half stack again. Fortunately for me, I can't really dream of something unless there is a remote chance, so I never agonized over things like Boogies. They are forever out of reach. So my reasonable dream dream amp is a one fo those compact, studio JCM800 - not even a plexi or the real JCM800. That being said, I could always borrow one of those if need be. For practicing purposes, I am still floored by the quality of those affordable little amps we have access to nowadays. I wish we had something like this little guy when I grew up... I can't imagine what the 2 12 version does - I would suspect that it is quite recordable. (I think our old pal D. Danzi left a review on Sweetwater's website).
  12. Love it! And that Les Paul has me drooling... Right tuners, right knobs - it's got it all! Mine WAS just a DSL. It's one of the many things that I had to let go of in 2019-2020. That being said, I can't say that I ever really used it all that much. But there was something comforting about that big Mashall box in the corner of the room - and I knew if was there when I needed it. But I recorded DI most of the time. The one thing I sincerely regret having to let go is my inexpensive Gibson SGJ. Best practice guitar I've ever owned and unlike other SG's, it felt solid. Since the ex moved out, I've had to do a LOT of decorating. It's a big house for one man and his cat, so I had to spread stuff around a bit. And it's also quite expensive so the budget for decorating is extremely tight. But last week I finally managed to get around to installing that upholstered panel that's been in the garage for a year. As you see, gear is sparse. The outboard compressors, the mackie board, the Pro Tools control surface and a lot of that stuff is gone. But if I'm to be honest, the equipment I actually use is still all there. And the room still has that vibe, I just love it. Since it doubles as my office, I spend almost 60 hours a week in here and even after 9 years, I just never get tired of it. I hang out here on my nights off quite often, actually. I really need a new black rug though - this grey one is an eyesore.
  13. Iron Maiden - Murders in the Rue Morgue
  14. I spent way too much time on my pedalboard. But as you see it was totally worth it.
  15. FWIW - this recently released one is free on Prime this month.
  16. Rain

    T'was just as DSL but still... I miss that Marshall.
