How to get this sound? - Post here to get ideas on how your favourite band gets their sound.
I was going to ask about this one song, and then I found the live video, and now I am so confused.

It definitely has that Animals as Leaders vibe going on with the thumping. Has anyone tried this?
Good to see that the lesbian from "The Craft" is still out performing. :)

John Petrucci - He's Going To Kill You
Here Jim, this is my favorite song by Dream Theater. It was the first song I heard from them that made me feel anything. They DO have a lot of songs that just do nothing for me... but then they have stuff like this. Wish I could play it. Even the main riff gives me trouble for some reason. It's not super fast, but the order of the notes make my fingers all jumbled.

No, in fact, they never called me at all :(
David Bowie is alive and running an underground crime organization with Nomi and Iggy Pop.

nah, I get it.... Bowie influenced everybody, even if its just in the sense that an artist says, "ugh, I hate Fame and I am never going to turn my back on rock fordisco masquerading as white funk!!!" LOL
Look at Lady Gaga. She's super Bowie influenced in presentation with some Madonna thrown in too...
First time I saw Lady Gaga I said, "Who is this Marilyn Manson rip-off?". I always saw more of him than the others. She even stole his makeup.

I forgot to add Jason's Deli's Yankee. a crap ton of Corned Beef or Pastrami with the tiniest little pieces of rye bread and swiss holding the softball size mound of beef together.
I grew up eating egg sandwiches. We'd cook bacon or sausage in a cast iron skillet and then fry eggs over easy in the grease afterwards. Mayo, black pepper, the meats, and then a slice of cheese over the top. My Grandmother grew up dirt poor as a cotton picker in South Carolina and all her cuisine was lethal but tasted great. Chicken and Dumplings, Mustard Roast, Grits and Eggs. She had all the southern hits embedded in her brain.

I had thought about getting a Bugera for YouTube guitar work. Seemed pretty cheap for how much bang they were promising. I hear a lot of bad things about their quality and actual functionality though.

Who? Disturbed, Slipknot, Godsmack, and Metallica? Unfortunately yes. We will have about 60 stations in any city. 5 new age light Christian music, NPR if you're lucky, Foxnews channels, 40 Country stations, 2 modern rock stations, 1 classic rock station, and the rest are all Tejano and Pop/Hip Hop stuff. Radio is pointless here in Texas. San Antonio had a college station that twice a week at like 11:00pm would play 3 hours of Metal and it was good and varied. Everything from Maiden to Brain Drill.

John Petrucci - He's Going To Kill You
I know these are amazing! theyre just beautiful! I keep coming back to them every few months. Have you seen this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6teIFJPNeaw
Do you know anything similar to these two, I've run out of guitar comedy, I've finished the inbetweeners, and all the H3H3 videos. I need more comedy stuff to binge.
Beautiful man lol. It wasn't funny to me until about 00:55 into it. "Check out this clean tone"
No, I dont know of others. A friend of mine and I always wanted to do a whole series in the same fashion for Dave Mustaine though. I used to be able to do a spot on impression of him. Drooling mouth and all.

The Death of Bowie is sprouting out a lot of conversation :)
Jason's Deli - Ham Muffaletta
Schlotzkies - Original Ham (Black olives, cheddar cheese, melted onto a buttered and toasted sourdough loaf. )
Travel Sandwich. The white trashiness of my family shines through in me only in certain situations. This is one. My mother used to take white bread, Spam, Velveeta, and Hellman's Mayonaise and make up a bunch of sandwiches. We'd lead the sandwiches in the window on long trips across Texas to visit family and let the heat do it's thing. Melted velveeta, slowly dried Spam... man. It tastes like salt, pork, and cream. It doesn't taste the same when you just make the sandwich. It needs that time in the sun to get good.

you can't get a cheese steak outside of the Delaware Valley, but subway will make you a sandwhich with some beef and cheese, sure... you definitely want the pound of beef.... while Pat's and Geno's skimp on the beef, all of the other quality steak places in Philly slather on the chopped meat and whiz.... we also have a sandwich ehre that's roast pork, hot pepers, broccoli rabbe and sharp, aged provolone that will blow your mind, but no one outside of philly knows about it. The cheesesteak is so famous that the pork sandwich is still a local secret....
I actually had never dated another nutter before meeting my ex-wife. Seriously. But as a young man, the sane young women would tire of my Peter Pan life attitude if I didn't tire of them first. I also did not mean to imply my ex-wife is dumb or uncultured. We split up for 5 years while I was on the road (and sick of her bullshit, when the shoe's on the other foot you realize what a tool you were in your early 20s!). We got back together and I discovered I really enjoyed her company a lot of the time when we were both sober. Its just that Iw as always sober and she was intermittently sober, even after I made the mistake of going through with the wedding...
I made it to just a few months before the wedding until I realized I wasn't happy and it wasn't going to work out with my last ex. I haven't dated since her because I still have a bad taste in my mouth about being with anyone. She was the dumbest smart girl I've ever met. PhD of counseling, published articles in magazines, flew all over for conferences and such, taught at Texas Tech, but just could not understand movie plots, listened to the music she was told to, spent her life on facebook, pintrest, and twitter. I'm a hard person to shop for and I can tell when someone get's me when they give me a gift I will use. She did once and bought me a jacket I still use. My mother came for a visit and I realized I couldn't say a single nice thing about her and that was my big clue to myself. I drove over to her house, told her I couldn't do it anymore, traded all the garbage she bought me over the years for the gun I bought her and the ring on her finger, and took off. I think she got married within a year of that. I think she was just desperate to get married as we were both nearly 30. She was the only white sheep on a family of black ones. All her brothers, Dad, Uncles, all were strung out and behind bars, needing money for something. She wasn't like that thankfully, but she was prone to make naive mistakes a lot.

know what's funny? is I have always been more a poppy kidna player and singer songwriter type, I went to art school and am pretty intellectual, but when I was younger I was way more likely to get in a bar brawl while loaded on cheap bourbon and Xanax then most bands with the aggressive, hells-angels-meet-Kerry-king image... I calmed down a lot in my mid-20s though. But you get my point... you just never know if Gordon Lightfoot will kick your ass between hour long sets of hippy BS, but you can be sure the band fulla biker-jacketed poseurs will back right down if you confront them at the bar after they make a snotty comment...
I've seen ... we'll call them kitty cat's here, in all genres. I turned into a bully around middle school and got a good taste of who backs down and who doesn't. I didn't like going after nerdy kids or the ones with low self esteem. I wanted the high self esteem, confidant ones. Still do. Athletes, Marines, Frat guys. I love taking that confidence away and making them feel like losers in front of their women. There's only been 3 people that ever really rocked me real well. My friend Miguel after I called his cousin a wetback (Dude was a mountain with bird hips), an amateur boxer who got the drop on me while I was talking to her girlfriend, and a drug dealer in San Antonio. The drug dealer was a pretty scary guy. Like Tuco from Breaking Bad but more calm and no metal teeth.
Regardless of the actual fight or flight of the band members though, they are portraying themselves as violent, tough guys and treat their music as such. It just doesn't hold up to other genres. If we could personify the genres themselves, Beat'em up rock would be raped for days until it died of dehydration. The genre's fans drive me nuts as well. I've walked away from a lot of conversations because a guy at a show ends up saying, "I like hard metal. You know, Disturbed, Slipknot, Godsmack, Metallica". Ugghg. I walk away and don't look at them anymore. They are usually people who aren't musicians as well. Metal musicians tend to enjoy complex music. Dream Theater and such. Animals as Leaders and BTBAM are in a genre that is a bit effeminate for my taste, but they still have some cool pieces in their catalog. These bands go unknown by the Beat'em up rockers. If a censored radio station didn't play feed it to them while they were drinking cheap beer on their back porch, they won't know who it is.

Skinny looks good on the right lady, but if you're super-model tall its creepy... then again hourglass figure can easily get out of hand on a short woman who likes chocolate and sitting around unemployed.... not that I married anyone like that.
Nothing like a Geno's steak at 2am after a show.... or a Tony Luke's steak with long hots ANY TIME!
EDIT: I tend to go for thinner women just because I am very thin and fairly tall. I've been the same waist size since about '96. My ex-wife outweighs me even though she's nearly a foot shorter than I am although that wasn't the cse when we met. She was heroin chic then, but she used heroin, so it was legit! I shouldn't be glorifying that though, too many kids on the site. Don't do drugs with strippers you meet at outrageous house parties (she was at said party as a civilian, I didn't find out about her work history until I was already enamored with her and that just added to the excitement.... for a while), guys. It doesn't give you extra rock n roll credibility. Really, it doesn't. Plus, when you settle down and commit with them they don't really get clean. And they will totally cheat for drugs when they relapse.... and when they don't they empty your bank account, steal your car, and go to Camden to cop. Its a drag. Just say no to drugs and fast women, kids.
When I still drank, did drugs, etc, I never went after the girls I hung out with. Seeing those girls in that atmosphere was a complete turn off, especially when you have to take care of one that's so slammed she crapped herself. Nope, gimme a woman who likes using excel to plan her finances and enjoys the opera. Just wasn't my thing. I've always liked the tiny petite girls (Short, thin, small features... helps if she grew up on a ranch and knows how to clip a horse... just say'n) and the very tall girls. On the rare occasion I find a girl over 6', she's ALWAYS taken. I end up with bigger women about 40% of the time. As a fat guy, you'd think it would work out but it never does. You always get into arguments over dieting. "Hey Boom, lets go on a Vegan Paleo diet". (Awesome! Lets do it! Grab your coat, we'll go get some groceries), 8 hours later, Ill find them with some chocolate or something.
I'm fixing to go to Subway for my Cheese Steak. I feel dirty doing it but I don't think Lubbock has any real cheese-steak places, certainly not close to my side of town. mmm.... I just changed my mind. Jason's Deli Yankee. I want a pound of beef on my sandwich I think.

Fu&* that Taylor Momsen for me needing to revisit this thread.
Taylor Momsen
Radio stations that call themselves ROCK stations and sneak in Metal occasionally. They'll have a commercial spot for the station in between songs that's misleading.
"Other stations talk... DUN DUN DUDUN DUN (Metal riff), Weeeee ROOOOOOOCK... DUN DUN DUN DUN DUDUN DUN... Rock 12.4 FM..."
Then the next song they play is fuggin Nirvana Unplugged. WHAT?! There's a station here in Lubbock that plays Omerta - Lamb of God behind the DJ's while they talk. I requested they play some Lamb of God one night. "Oh, we can't play that." YOU JUST DID! Tease. Trying to sail on the a fan-base that really shouldn't be listening to your station in the first place.
- Beat'em Up Metal
More like Beat'em off Rock. Bands that try to have the image of some natural disaster of humanity. They're so tough and violent. You can tell because they sing songs with growling and screaming verses that go on about how they will punch you in the face, shoot you with a gun, drink whiskey, and not like you very much. They're mascots are skeletons of animals, demons, and people they killed.... by punching them in the face or shot with a small caliber firearm?
I would love to see a band like Diecide, Cannibal Corpse, or Dying Fetus rush on stage and pound these new age tough guy bands onto the floor in front of their fans. Maybe break all their fingers so they can't bug us with their childish ideas of violence any further.
After a verse or two of growling and scream, the chorus kicks in with the singer trying to sing like a pop singer. Huh? That goes against the tough guy image doesn't it? The US Military LOVES these bands. Get's them pumped somehow. If I were going into a life or death situation and knew I needed inspiration to gut, gore, and defile other human beings, I'm going to listen to lyrics on digging up the miscarriaged first child of the enemy and force-feeding the dry, jerkied corpse to the parent... not punching a dude in the face.

I thought that's who you meant. I only recently became aware of this spoiled child star's history, but I ran into her band awhile ago on local radio ehre in Philly. They got in heavy rotation with local guys (and gal) Hailstorm because both bands were on the road together. Someone posted this dirl's gear to EB recently and I was like "who is this leggy blonde? The world needs more shapely female guitarists!" so I looked her up on my phone and was like.... oh, THAT band. Ugh. Then I also noticed she was on CW teen soap opera before deciding to pretend to be badass.
I edited in more info.
Yeah, she USED to be shapely but her stent in modeling ruined her. Now I think her favorite snack is her finger.
Funny you said Philly, I've been craving a Cheese-steak the last hour.
I never liked the heroine shiek stuff. Not attractive to me. I've always been more into the tomgirl, athletic type. I used to get disappointed when dates would puff up and curl their hair for the night. Women look their hottest with a ponytail, no makeup, and some comfortable clothes that are easy to take off, yet also cheap enough they don't yell at you for throwing them on a dirty floor.
10yover 10 years ago
is that the blonde whose band is out on tour with Hailstorm?
It's the blonde girl from the live action, "How The Grinch Stole Christmas". It is also a pathetic singer in aband called "The Pretty Wreckless". Terrible, terrible music. It's perceived as "Bad ass/rebellious/sticking it to the man and religion" by ex-convicts and teenagers who get all their music off of the radio.
She is a boring woman who is trying desperately to be interesting and dark. She's pretty much just trying to emulate successful names that crossed from different genres of rock into pop (Courtney Love, Alice Cooper, Pat Benatar). She tried acting but I assume it didn't work out. Then she tried modeling but bounced between being too thin and too fat. Now she's trying to make money on music... and unfortunately... it's working. If I had to pick between her and Bjork, of course Bjork would get the bullet, but only because shes been annoying me longer. Her lyrics, assuming she writes her own, are childish and uncreative. "1... 2... 3, and, 4... The devil's knocking at your door". I cringed the first time I heard that. So awful. Counting... because that's the height of her insight, mention the devil the seem dangerous and dark, 4 letter room that rhymes with 4. Brilliant. There are a lot of trends in modern music that drives me crazy, but none greater than this thoughtless, easy 4/4 time signature butt-rock that the radio stations put out.

What does this mean? Sorry I don't know slang too much hehehe
It was a joke derived of your native land sounding close to the word Indian, a phrase used by Westerners to refer to the native peoples of North America as well as a phrase from a popular TV series titled, "The Long Ranger", that the Indian sidekick would say. "How" was a term that Americans were told meant Hello in... some.... Indian language. No one really knows. Kemosabe was what the Indian sidekick would use as a term of endearment towards the Lone Ranger.
"How", was also used as a pun in the animated film "An American Tail: Fievel Goes West". "HOW.... do you DO!?"

I've got an Hartke LH1000 and there aren't many amps I would even consider replacing it with. Now that my bass has an amazing on-board EQ, I don't even use my sansamp racks anymore.
I really want to try a SWR SM-1500. 500 more watts and more EQ control.

As a Jewish man, and friend of many Jewish men, I have no idea what you are talking about ...
Neil Gaiman (spelled wrong?) created Sandman didn't he? Major book, won lots of awards, just released the 25th anniversary omnibus. No idea who Wesley Dodds is ... will have to Google that I suppose.
I love the idea of Jewish comic heroes and all that. I've got a few books myself. Just wondering how and at what point it was determined that Flash, Batwoman, etc. are Jewish. Would love to get a copy of the issue where they light their Hanukkah menorah for my son to read.
Superman was created by 2 Jewish men. To make him the greatest in the eyes of the American public which was thick with Christianity, they adopted traits from Jesus Christ into Superman. Superman is what his creators thought Christians thought about Jesus Christ.
The new Sandman, the Crow looking emo guy, is an okay read. I think it would make a great movie or TV series, but I didn't invest much of myself into the character.
Throughout the comics, there is usually one obscure line that tells the faith of the characters. In a 1989 comic called "Christmas With the Super-Heroes", Hal Jordan wishes Barry a "Happy Channukah." It came down to either Hal, Barry, or both were Jewish. People seem to agree with Varry Allen being Jewish. Besides, his costume has no hood like Arrow's :)

30 years non-stop touring, playing above average difficulty music in giant costumes that hinder movement and sight, that smell like vomit and sweaty man bag, while on dark stages, and entertaining as hell. They do all their own costumes, models, and story-lines. They make films.
Shock Rock at its finest and funniest. Manson tried really hard to do what they did on accident.
Oderus had a very quick witt.
Great lives show... yet nearly noone knows who they are. People throw their music to the way side when they are writing so many different genres. Rap, Punk, Grunge, Ballad, Thrash, Goth, Ska, Pop, Rock,.

Wesley Dodds Sandman, not the Crow who was stuck in a glass cup in a basement :)
Superman is said to be a represenation of Jesus Christ from the viewpoint of what Jewish men think Christians see him as... or something close to that. Superman is Jesus Christ.... as is Goku in the American dubs. "I am the light of the universe. It's Savior, the hope, No man comes before the Krillin but by me"
