490 and 498 gibson pickups arent that great.
but of cos low end gibson anyday, the menace isnt that low end.
low end is the melody maker or even the les paul special.

now the pickups i'm interested in are the seymour duncan actives that mustaine is using.

you mean the SD live wires? i read that the output is higher than EMGs, the perfect metal pup.

In relation to the high end R9s lah. Les Paul Menace, eh. First time I've heard of it. Doesn't look very traditional, eh

Better edit:

The Goddess and Vixen I've never seen too. I like the idea of lightweight gigging LPs, and I like the look of the smaller Goddess body. But people will look at you as if you're holding a Daisy Rock...

our first time hitting the big stage. if you watch carefully, i dropped my pick once, and stepped on my cable till tercabut once. pardon the drummer, he's only form 2 haha.

oh yeah, my sound was through a randall i mentioned earlier. and of course my SH10s.

im getting seizures from the lightings

what gig is that? lighting and stage was really weird.

well besides working on the vocals and drums, the whole band has to work on stage presence and crowd interaction. ask sifu led zep for more lessons.

We have your house address too... you sure you wanna trade all your teles for the Gibson?

Not me definitely.

You sure you can stand the low-output pickups after playing the EMGs for such a long time?

The video's still loading but... WTF! Where were you guys playing LOL??? Reminds me of Pink Floyd during their psychedelic era.

Yeah right... I'm only eligible to give one and only one advice : Be a poser.

Oh speaking of videos I'ill be getting the DVD tomorrow (I hope!) and will be meeting some BLS poser too. Jk...

woah you people performing sial.......................

me = bed room guitarist who is cursed to miss gigs

lol.. same here.. i have my own gigs in front of the computer

blame the provider.

some function from my ex-school lol. yeah i agree about the weird lightings, i shut my eyes at times lol.

yeah thanks for the comments. will try and do it during later gigs. but the place we were performing was an auditorium, so there was a reasonably far distance between the stage and audience..

.. and the vocals mike was too loud.

summit auditorium. funny huh lol. i think this is the last school-related function before college life haha! yeah i'll be a poser. who do you pose as, ledzep?

i used to think the same thing too, but things changed lol.

oh yeah, the best part was, there was no soundcheck! the equipment provider was 2 hours late. ass****

and we only practiced for 4 hours prior to the gig. coz of time constraints haha.

if u're going to do gigs often, u need to get used to very bright lighting especially big gigs. try to get used to it asap. the crowd wouldnt like to see a guitarist trying hard to keep his eyes open(and with a funny 'orgasmic' facial expression) yet standing still. hehe. u can check out how led zep(eong xien) poses in his friendster!!! (led zep: dont get mad. helping u promote ur band). hehe. or u could check mine out too(in my sig)... and watch the shameless self promo vid. rotfl

practiced for 4 hours prior to the gig???!!! wow, u guys did well!!! no soundcheck is not an excuse. i made eong xien miss his soundcheck and he still did well

i'm okay with bright lighting, but i wasn't really comfortable with the psychedelia. but i guess the feeling's gone when you really start playing hehe. i was headbanging and half closing sometimes lol. not closed totally all the time. i did look at the crowd haha.

yeah i looked your self promo video already lol. it was good!

yeah i know, it's not an excuse, just that if we had a soundcheck, the solo could be more audible.

congrats man. hopefully some day some one will need a Zakk Wylde wannabe in their band.........

just that ppl are afraid that zakk wylde wannabe ends up doing disney or hilary duff moves on stage

nerd, that video was made as a joke. hehe. cant wait for led zep's vid to be out. watching urself perform live on video can be very funny.

Heh my band used to miss lots of gigs too, it wasn't until after 3 years of jamming that we finally get to play our first gig. And how memorable it was.

WTF? What do you mean who I pose as?? I'm the original poser and it's ppl like Yuko Ogura who copies me with her V-Pose:

Jk jk... echo understands since he reads my blog occasionally.

For some reason, soundcheck-less gigs are part of gigs, always. Malaysians being Malaysians are always late, including myself.
Anyway the stage setup for my gig was bloody messy, I thought our band was gonna screw up. I was bloody afraid if I stepped on a cable of the power point, which would shut down all the pedals, so I had to be extra careful whenever I step out for the occasional posing moment. I agree that soundcheck is very crucial, but always prepare to play without it.

4 hours of practice, that's pretty good, keep up the good work. We should update each other on available gigs so we could perform together.

Were you the one who played the main riff??? I couldn't really hear the solo but the other guitar was pretty ok. The drummer needs to work somemore but considering he's only Form2, he's definitely on the right track. If he continues to practice consistantly, he'ill be very good by the time he's in form 5.

I've seen it already, yeah it's pretty funny but it gives you a chance to review your stage presence and antics. I'm thinking of new tricks to pull off onstage already. One day I'm gonna try the windmill. Have you tried that before?

Anyway check out Pink Floyd's PULSE DVD preview :

The stage setup's so beautiful and the laser lights!!!

Careful with the windmill...... Pete Townshend shish-kebabed his hand on the whammy bar doing that once.

That's what I'm worried about too!!! He make it look easy but in reality, it's bloody hard.

Anyway, you'ill be in Taylor's tmr right?

Yes. 12 O clock or earlier..... Taylors Subang right????

holy. i didn't know you had a blog! and when i found it, it caused my firefox to hang lol. so i opened using IE. omg so poser!

yeah i guess so. it was a good experience, that day.

yeah we should! looking forward to that hehe. yeah i was the rhythm guitarist, how'd u know? the video quality was so bad lol. yeah i think his progress is okay, and it's only his 7th time playing with a real drumset. sad but true. coz he doesn't have one at home, and he only attended 2 drumclasses before his mum asked him stop because he didn't study LOL.

ah yes.. make sure you share the video with us! haven't tried the windmill, but maybe one day i'm gonna try play lying down.

Yup... Message me or something when you're there.

Even Firefox can't stand the power of poserism LOL! XD

I recognize you by your headstock haha. You bent down to adjust the amp settings during the solo but the solo carried on, so it should be you on the rhythm.
LOL! He did pause in the beginning of the song hah.

Windmill is the last thing you wanna play lying down.
