Change My Mind

The beginning of blood eagle was channeling system of a down, while that man's voice had a tiny taste of the voice of Derrick Green of Sepultura. Interesting. I had never listened to this band before today.

I'm confused. I hate periphery, honestly. I wish them the best but they're "cut of the mill" screamo in my opinion. I saw this band Polyphia on dimarzio's website uh, 2 days ago. Holy shit.

I have a hearing issue. Metal hurts me now so I don't listen to a lot of it anymore. Every now and then I get a little in.

72 confirmed.

You mean for the ear plugs?

Yeah, and the constant complaining, squinting, crying fits, the constant 'back in my day' refrain and the reek of mothballs that wafts off you. :P

Not sure what the hell you're talking about. LOL

I know, old confused lady, I know. We'll get you some tapioca pudding and stuck together ribbon candy.

Crap. I hate ribbon candy. LOL

Oh!, um, Fender (like the company) makes some earplugs that are nothing short of a miracle. They take out shitty, harsh frequencies and lower surrounding overall volume by 32 db (!!!!!!!!) give those a try if you "gotta" listen to some loud music or whatever.

Hmmm.... That is worth checking. Because I have a lot of problems in that regard. Sometimes it is pitch as opposed to volume. For example Marilyn Manson is really impossible to listen to thanks to that very thing. Thank's for the suggestion. Because I need something more substantial than foam ear plugs.

I mean those are foam earplugs.... I've tried those before, and they take a shitload of, just, volume out as well as like "icepicky" frequencies. Try them out they're like 3 usd a pair if you don't like them. (BTW, I don't work for Fender, they're just awesome.)

Fender is a good brand. I don't know what I never thought to check that market for good ear plugs. It makes perfect sense though considering musicians often do wear ear plugs.

Neither did I. I have standard issue fender strat, but I had to have earplugs for something and they popped up on amazon. I was stunned at "the quiet"

I've got a Fender Squire strat made in Korea but i got lucky because it's well made. Always wanted a Gibson Les Paul tho.

Hory shit. I have a mexican strat with dimarzios in it. I "guitar" left handed so options are limited.

Why not just flip a Strat over like Jimi? You'd get some of his sound.

I also have a sweet 1976 Fender 12 string. I also had a 1967 Traynor 200 watt tube amp when i was a teen that I shared with my uncle that sounded amazing but the bastard sold it on me. Still pissed.

It's um, not the same.... And I'm no Hendrix, no one is Hendrix. Hendrix isn't even Hendrix.

There was something about stringing it backwards that produces a bit of a different sound. Like winding your pick ups out of phase, as I believe Peter Green did, but you are right, Hendix was unique. Altho I'd argue Hendix was Hendix.

I made a new post to continue the conversation, Syd. :P
