You, Mr Blacktrix, sir, are just plain terrible to get our hopes up like that!

Yeah, rumour has it that Gapnap managed to secure a custom 7-string Horus designed by Nils Norberg of Nocturnal Rites (the guy who convinced Caparison to design the 7-string Dellinger).

Oh yeah, btw, I just noticed that Caparison has a new axe... 6-string 27-fret offset V!

Yup, you was dreaming...

EDIT:
hehe, I'm sure the resident Syu/Akira and Amott/Laiho power duo here (c'mon, you know who you are!) would be interested to know that there's a constellation that used to be named after them...

Ophiuchus, formerly known as Serpentarius FTW!


Epix mou!

Ya-lah... they get a constellation, and all we get is Marcus Silver!

Serpentarius are stars!!! (...literally...)

If you are wondering WTF is Serpentarius... Serpentarius is FTW!

Left guitars - Akira Takasyuki
Right guitars - Alexi Laimott
Bass - Henkka Power Metalsmith (whether he is still in the band is the subject of fierce debate since bass tracks are suspiciously missing from their later releases...)
Drums - Junichi Erlandsson (the lost half-Japanese brother of the Erlandssons... suspected to be actually a Japanese transforming robotic drum machine)

Producer - Phantomile (name cannot be disclosed for contractual reasons... rumoured to have recorded all the solos for the band)

...and their hit single... "Stand Tall And Shake the Heaven"!


...oh and Beastmasta, the marker trick should work fine if its a small scratch... but it depends on your body colour as well... the other alternative is just to stick a sticker on it!

Damn you, I saw that milessssss away!

Not fresh d... boooo!

Gee, I haven't heard that one yet. Is it a Serpentarius bootleg demo?

Wei, I didn't know they played at the Power in Rio festival??

Ganas siuuuut... Serpentarius are de starz!

...like that just leave it lah... "battle scarz"... the Mark of the Beastmasta!

Serpentarius cannot be understood by mere mortals like us, Great Beastmasta.

Akira Takasyuki: "I tried looking up Serpentarius in the dictionary, it wasn't there."
Alexi Laimott: "What does it mean?"
Akira Takasyuki: "It's the name of our f****** band, dude."
Alexi Laimott: <stunned>

According to the Powernomicon, the songs are written by the supersecret producer Phantomile... and the songs are supposedly so difficult and technical to play that no living person on earth can play them.

If you tried looking it up in the dictionary, you won't find it. Coz it's the name the f#&*$^# band, dude.

You must free your mind of all shackles and pre-conceived notions of music, only then will you find illumination. You cannot seek Serpentarius, it will seek you, should you be worthy of the knowledge.

Fret not, Master EQ, one day the Power of the Serpentflame will burn in your veins too... and on that day, Serpentarius will be a mystery no more.


...on a side note, many here have witnessed the glory of Serpentarius before, but in their ignorance, were not aware of the wonders which graced their eyes and blessed their ears...

Wrong, Mr Blacktrix!

Their songs transcend the physical coils of existence itself. Look not to the Far East, or to the icy Northlands... but into the deepest recesses of your primal soul. Once you gaze into the mirror of the abyss, there in the depths of utter darkness, a light will shine through the black clouds... the flame of Serpentarius!













...of course at this point EQ will ask "WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WTF IS SERPENTARIUS???"

...and the Dark Lord Phantomile, sitting in his castle taller than the heavens itself, will reply....

Sorry, man, been mingling with the gloriously fallen feasting and fighting denizens of Valhalla too much lately...

...how bout "Revelations" from Piece of Mind?

She came to me with Serpentarius,
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips,
Phantomile catches silver tears I cry

...happens to all the great starz..

Gee... somehow I suspected that was coming our way...

Ok... just to bring this back to 7-string land, I've posted a review on the X2N7 in the Pickups sticky... here.

Yeah lah... he's ditching his SA for S!

Yeah, my bridge is pretty flat from that POV...


So I guess mine's pretty straight I think. I don't like bridges that swing both ways...


...ooh, and I forgot to ask... LedZep, how'd your CyberGames gig go?

Damn... you should've borrowed Teko's K7 and fight hip with hop mou!

..what'd you guys play?

...oooh, I guess after a few days, EQ777 will rise again as the Dark Lord Equentarius, the Shaker of Seven-hundred-seventy-seven Heavens!

<puts hands in both sleeves as generic ancient Chinese melodies are played>

Welcome to the Sanctuary!

Probably this Euro-shredder called Napoleon Coste... according to the almighty Wikipedia.

<gulp> ...is that Malmsteen's "I Don't Know" from the Seventh Sign album???

Alternative ending (Bonus-release for Midgard)

(Deep in his hallowed halls high on the Cliffs of Heaven, Heimdall answers the phone...)
Heimdall: "Hello...?"
Phantomile: "Well, well, how are you?"
Heimdall: "Uh.. who is this?"
Phantomile: "Who do you think this is?"
Heimdall: "Stop it.. who is this?"
Phantomile: "You know very well who i am.. You almost got away from me didn't you?"
Heimdall: "Oh my god.. it can't be.. it can't be!"
Phantomile: "Hahaha... Oui, oui, mon amour...c'est moi."

... Great... now all we need are the Puppet Masters to come here and massacre us all...

err.... FTW!

nice thread? this is the local 7-string spamming ground where we all try to outdo each other in pissing off the mods with epix off-topix posts! ..jk jk!



...so... you play 7-strings?

If I were EQ, this would be the point where I say....

(can you see this from milesssssssssss away, LedZep? )



I reckon yer right, bub... even though I really have no clue who this mysterious character is...

Since this LYNgard, where green dragons fly and the power of the LYNflame burns inside, I'll be polite and say...
