That’s what I’m hearing. It’s an all day festival with Metallica, Slayer and a bunch of acts playing. I heard there’s supposed to be some sort of jam with a bunch of players from different bands. It would be really cool if Ozzy could join Jake and Rudy but we’ll see.

I'm so tempted to try to get tickets and fly out there for the weekend to see this. Hopefully they can pull off a great show. I'm curious if Ozzy will come out and play with Jake and Rudy. It looks like a great lineup all around.

Even better. The sugary stuff comes up much faster. 😁

Thank you sir!

Thanks! I'll definitely check this out. Pretty stoked to see Danny Carey handle the drums.

Sorry for the late post but hoping everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

The Epi’s have been grabbing my attention lately. I owned a mid 90s LP model (I forget the year but it was when they started making them again) which was MIK and it was decent but lacking in areas (pickups, pots, tuners). The Epi Adam Jones LP has really grabbed my attention and it looks like...

For me it’s less about where it’s made and more about what it’s made of. Import models are often made with lesser quality components than their American counterparts but even that gap is closing.

I'm back with another Tool song. It seems lately every 3rd or 4th tune I do is by them as I plod onward in my quest to learn every one. This one might be one of their best known even by those who don't follow the band. Schism - Tool

I can’t speak for Brad’s guitar but mine stays remarkably in tune even without the locking nut. My PRS was similar. I’ve played FR guitars for years but I’ve since grown to prefer the feel without the locking nut.

I’m with @BGood. Fess up the secrets unless you took some blood oath. :D I was actually just watching some video with Gillis talking about his #1 with the 3rd ever Floyd Rose. My Charvel has a similar bridge designed after the original FRs without the fine tuners but as I don’t have a locking...

Education is wonderful but it can't replace experience which can only be provided by time. When our elders speak, we should listen.

My wife usually bails midway through as well. My playing gives her stomach cramps. :D
