Geez... how could you?! ...err, I mean...

Jag Panzer, man, Jag Panzer!!!

How can you forget about Chris "I May Just Be A Sessionist But I Tapau-ed Jeff Loomis" Broderick!??!?!?!! 7-string RGLACS & RG1527 ok!

...ok, but they're American, so they probably sing about Irregularly Muscled Tanks and Weird Glowing Magical Rocket Launchers...

Not Iced Earth lah... I think it was either Dio or Manowar... Iced Earth covers are usually very gothic/horror style influenced!

Lord Samy Vellu wilt surely sendeth us to the Iron Maiden for such slanderous tunes!

Sorry, Mr Blacktrix... kinda going to be bogged down in August...

EQ and Beatmasta, you guys haven't put in an appearance for the Gathering yet! <hint hint>

cover line! ...you don't wanna us to serbu your house and drool over your 8-string issit?

...yeah, there's a new Gathering... Blacktrix has opened it up for all 7-stringers, so bring yer axes and let the B-emons free!!!!!11

How badly does it go out of tune? ...the Edge is good, but I don't think you can expect it to be 100% stable... I've read that even if your strings are a few days old, it may affect the tuning stability...

how bout after yanking your Edge to kingdom come and back, you play the rest of the piece with a wide vibrato to cover up the drop in pitch?

And for a while I thought that a "waylar" was some new-fangled device...

that'll be cool, a Sanctuary yumchar plus watch Ocean of Fire... but Thursday night... aikz... probably meeting some old university kakis then... unless I can persuade them to change venue to the Curve mou...

Ocean of Fire was craaaazyyyyyyy!!!

Gee I wonder if we put Ocean of Fire and Deja Voodoo Spells on the same stage... would that like blow up the world?

Oh yeah, and Poseidon was quite killer too. Richard was shredding his @ss off too, with his nps runs/multiple string tapping/string skip tapping/super fast sweep arps...

When Poseidon went up, I was like
When Ocean of fire went up...

I think I'll take up ledzepfreak's suggestion and get an e-bay account to sell my gear...

Ya lah, Blacktrix... leave Herman Li out of this. He probably fled Asia because of the likes of Kelvyn, Rithan, Zack Kim, Man Kiddal etc. ...dang Brits, dunno shred if it bit them in the face...

Wei, you guys got attacked by a Rust Monster?

lolz... mmm... slightly different set... gonna try sticking in another pseudo-instrumental which we've put on the back-burner for the past few months... xD

A serpeant is a magical beast like an owlbear, only it combines the head of a serpent with the body of an ant...

hey... is Shawn (Sean?) playing in your band too?

EQ, good luck for the gig!

damn...

Oh well, I guess me and Val are kinda glad that we're playing late that night, hopefully after EQ... ain't nuthin more painful than getting your ego bruised by some DT-shred on a Friday nite... spoils the weekend...

More or less the same...

Aikz... I'll regret not being able to see EQ wield his mighty Axe of Progression +7 in the cause of enlightening all mainstream sheep with intelligent music for intelligent people.

oh sh!t... I thought Val already sorted out with Rohit so we can go up a bit later... I'm working tomorrow, so I'll only be able to reach Subang around 9.30 or so...

Gee, Blacktrix, why don't you bring your family along?

EQ: what kinda 7-string approaches are you looking for? 5-octave 2-handed tapping arpeggios?

...I always thought the only way to approach the 7-string is with suitable awe and humility at the sheer power of the mighty low-B...

Wah... long time never visit the Seventuary...

First things first (ok maybe a bit late ) great shows by H.A.C.K. and Of A Broken Promise last Friday... and a cool mini Sanctuary (sans the Beastmasta, o' course) yumchar afterwards !



Anyway, EQ, I know how it feels to have your tone change at different venues... especially when the #*($&# FX loop doesn't work! grr...

Generally, I hate plugging my GT through Marshalls... tried it once at De'Rhythmix (I think it was a AVT- had to go through the input coz the #*($&#$(& FX loop didn't work! grr...)... tone came out all damn shrill and boxy sounding. Tried all kinds of insta-tweaks; low-cut/high cut filters, EQ, changing the mic sim/direct sound balance, changing output options...

Dunno if that amp was just busted though, coz usually I can get away with tweaking the global EQ on the GT...

Anyway, just wondering if you guys (EQ + Rossie) use the cab and mic simulators on your floorboards? (Not sure what floorboard Rossie is using though... although I was standing next to it on stage after his set... lol... nerves... )

Anyway, anyway... sorry for the "short" post...

Lemme guess... Que Tone Studios? Ayub?

I'm the one who goes through the Laney Hardcore max halfstack there, Val uses the Marshall...

The only reason I'd ever consider switching to a POD is because of the dang handle on the XT Live... Sorry man, I think you're preaching in the wrong thread! hehe...

I haven't tried running FRFR though, except through direct in to a laptop, sounded like crap though, haven't got the hang of it yet.

I find that the cab/mic-sim makes the tone very boxy and closed, whereas the direct sound is very shrill/fizzy. But I've read on GTCentral (off-limits to you PODheads! ) that mixing the cab/mic sim sound and the direct sound together like 90% mic-ed and 10% direct can help get a decent tone...

And you're spot on about "it's more important to get a clean and clear tone rather than YOUR tone"... me and Val generally swear by a related aphorism "who cares how it sounds like as long as you can be HEARD"... hence, scooped mids are a no-no...

No hard and fast rules though. I guess the important things are:
1. Your tone can be heard.
2. Your tone doesn't damage people's eardrums. Unless you're Petrucci and you want people to just drop down and die. It's pretty amazing.
3. Your tone doesn't blow up the amp. I'm not going to mention names here...

Hehe... what's that? Sounds like some pretty hot action...

Anyway, Rossie, yeah, I think we saw you guys maybe the weekend before the gig. There was this bunch of guys about to leave the studio, emanating some pretty 1337 auras... it was pretty amazing.
