Worlds. Still. Haha! ^_^

The "Bernie" OST I love up-tempo hymns and Jack Black really breathes some new life into my old favorites.

Toxicity - System of a Down I was planning on covering the whole album on my YouTube channel but I'm in a very busy summer class for forensics and looking for a job. Everything else is taking a back burner for a few weeks.

Ashes of the Wake - Lamb of God This might be my favorite album on the planet. There aren't a whole lot of albums that I can say I like every song, but this is one. Always gets me pumped. Randy Blythe is one of like 4 people on the planet who's lyrics I actually care about. He writes so deep and writes to fit the music perfectly. It's weird because I think the quality of music on this album is their best but the production quality isn't there best. As the albums went on their music got worse and worse but it was produced better and better. The last song I learned was "Now You've Got Something To Die For". As a former conspiracy theorist, the song One Gun is my favorite on the album.

a lot of alt j, kodaline, foo fighters, and hozier

I've been learning a wrestler's theme for a cover and I've been digging the lyrics to it. It's basically talking about how horrible television, including wrestling, it garbage and only encouraging violence and deceit. it's call "I walk Alone - Saliva"

MIXALYDIA - Biggest Mistake. Absolute Welsh wonders!

Hurt - Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's original

It's a good tune for beginners to learn on due to have very little chord changes. Everyone feels strongly about the section of the chorus that says "And you can have it all.... my empire of dirt".

The chord played during this as well as Cashes vocals are the same as the beginning of the chorus 4 measures earlier, but for some reason it has an intense emotional effect to it. I think they might have put in some kind of audio stenography here because the NIN fails to bring out the same feel for the same section.

All along the watchtower - Jimi Hendrix, not the studio track but live at the Isle of Wight, which can be found on the Blue Wild Angel. Although something went wrong with the tech during the wah-wah part, the alternations in this version quite make up.

Actually, if someone nows what exactly it was that made those noises during the wah-wah part, please tell me, really can't figure out what would could make something like that happen.

Neck pickup -> Roger Mayer Octavia -> Dallas Arbiter Fuzz face -> Vox Wah -> Binson tape echo ( on the solo part with the slide and the next solo part ) into a Marshall 100w Superlead head. He used a cigarette lighter for a slide.

Marshall 100 Watt Settings: Gain - 4 Treble - 5 Mid - 5 Bass - 8 Reverb - 5

Those are supposedly the amp settings he used.

This Is What It Feels Like Vs C.U.B.A Vs Do Your Thing (Dash Berlin UMF 2015 Dashup)

that sounds mostly right, though some of the stuff on that tune sounds more like a fender showman to me... JH had one as well as a sound city 100 watter, essentially the pete twonshend model Hiwatt circuit... not sure about the reverb as there wasn't a 60s marshall with reverb that I can think of (definitely no verb on a 60s superlead, trust me) and I'm not sure about the Binson echo-rec either
