Mark posted a pic of the prototype of his signature PRS amp. What we know: - 15 watts - "affordable" (~$700?) - 2 channels - available in both head and combo - based on the Archon platform but voiced more like a Bogner Uberschall Obviously, at 15 watts, he won't be using this live. I'd say...

More gear than I should have considering my skill level lol. Guitars: - 2014 PRS Custom 24 (Leprechaun Tooth Green) - 2014 Fender American Special Stratocaster (Surf Green) - Squier Jim Root Telecaster (matte black) Amps: - 2004 Mesa Dual Rectifier (3-channel) - Orange PPC212 cabinet - Vox NT15C1-CL...

1. Fortress 2. Blackbird 3. One Day Remains 4. ABIII 5. The Last Hero I wanted to like The Last Hero, but I just don't. The album sounds generic, minus a few good tracks. Show Me a Leader, Cradle to the Grave, Island of Fools, and The Last Hero are the standout tracks to me. The rest are pretty meh....

Does anyone know what the US official AB store vinyl looks like? I know the UK got various different colors. Was just wondering if ours was like a bullseye design or just plain old black. I have a copy but I'm using it as wall art. Didn't want to open it, was just curious lol. https://alterbridge.t...

I want to be wrong about this album... but from what I've heard so far (as well as some reviews I've read), this album sits somewhere in the bottom two of their discography. Whether it beats out AB3 for the fourth spot (and not dead last) is still left to interpretation. Fortress was a tough act to ...

I'm originally from Sand Mountain. I live in Chatt now though.

I worry that I'm going to be subconsciously comparing The Last Hero to The Last Baron when I hear it, a comparison that's very hard to come out well from. Also seems again that the song titles themselves show a kind of narrative on their own. Can almost put act breaks in between them. I'd be fine w...

Yeah don't remind us

What was wrong with the Cry of Achilles vid? I thought it was pretty badass. Much more interesting than the typical copy-pasta concert footage.

BBC's post made me think about another AB related misheard lyric. But AB are pretty clear on their lyrics most of the time, so I made it a general topic.

Original:
Through the eyes of one I know
I see a vision once let go

Misheard lyric:
Through the ice of Weyanoke
I see a fish I once let go

These guys are really impressive. Ballast is an amazing song, I've been hooked on it for a few months. I really enjoy the entire album for the most part.

Thanks Andy, I appreciate the advice. Power tubes should be here tomorrow so I'll give it a shot.

I also have three 12AX7's on the way as well. They should be here early next week. If the power tubes fix it then awesome.... I guess I'll have some spare preamp tubes.

Here's what happened: Saturday night I was playing and started noticing some popping noises, even when my guitar cable was unplugged. I also noticed some very light flickering in the 2nd power tube, and it had a blue hue to it. I ordered some 6l6GC's to install tomorrow, as well as some Deoxit for t...

Decided to look around a bit on ebay, specifically to drool over Private Stock PRS'. There is a guy on there who says he's not "a dealer" but "a collector" and all the guitars he sells are from his private collection. This guy has at least $200,000 in private stock PRS guitars (n...

Dump it dry
Leave yourself empty
Justify all that you consume
Poop it dry
What is this becoming?
All your life, wipe no one but you

Asking Alexandria - "Moving On"

Amazing song. They nailed the Motley Crue vibe.

What a shame, what a shame, to judge a food that you can't change...

Everybody knows Shinedown likes crepes.

What impresses me most about this DVD is the quality. I swear, you'd think you were watching a Blu-Ray. Crystal clear picture, great audio as well.

Sweet. I'll check those out.
