  1. 2 days to La Vuelta
  2. Ha. Yeah. Tbh, that old gig I was talking about earlier not super far off one of those joints, kind of goes with the territory with punk rock shows.
  3. Well I thought all that went together man!
  4. I've always wanted to play a joint with chicken wire around the stage.
  5. Oh yeah, these days 100%. I honestly hardly drink anymore, it's not worth the price the next day! That show I was referencing was creeping up on 20 years ago, back in my youth.
  6. Such a bummer man. We played one of the last shows ever, maybe the last, at a local place that was one of the last hold outs for original rock bands. Was bittersweet. As @Celery Man correctly surmised, I'm pretty sure we drank our entire pay that night. I may have walked with 20 bucks tops.
  7. Yeah, fuzz has to be the most variable by far. I generally chalk it up to the circuits being so simple and unfiltered. You can spend the rest of your life going being between different fuzzes and they will all be so damn unique. I am totally with you in the Strat bridge pickup, I never use it except for Gilmour stuff, and he managed it because he had these full tilt dark wooly fuzz faces and Muffs. The combo goes together like peas and carrots. I still have to add a touch of 1.5k on an EQ to get it right I find. I currently have an Analogman Sunface, which is a Fuzz Face, with the BC109 chip, to mimic the Dark Side era Fuzz Face. But just typing this it's wild to think how much variation there is in these, same circuit but different chip is wildly different. I also have a Sunlion with a Tonebender 1.5 circuit, which is very Fuzz Face like. I have always considered Muffs their own thing. I have an original Black Russian I've owned since it was new. I actually just got it because I didn't know any better back then, I was just trying to buy a distortion pedal lol. They fetch decent money these days actually. I got the Ram's Head reissue not super long ago, and that was a 100% Gilmour thing.
  8. Here's the actual solo. I think if I nudged the gain on the Ram's Head a tick and EQ a little low mid and bass out, it's very close tone wise. Anyway this was my ad for the RT-2. I am pretty happy with it. https://www.kitrae.net/music/MP3/Mother Solo_Studio_Recording.mp3
  9. Thanks brosef. I forgot to mention what I was using, Strat with Duncan SSL-5 in the bridge, Rams Head Muff, RT-2 into a Hiwatt and a Fane Starfinder cab IR.
  10. Got most of the bends roughly in tune! Would have like to have gotten the rakes up to the big E string bends a little better but what are ya gonna do.
  11. So I was sharing this with @Goredho but though the pedal guys might be into this. Boss just released the RT-2 rotary sim recently and being a sucker for all thing GIlmour I had to get one. The old RT 20, while not great for Leslie, was the pedal for doing a Doppola emulation. This one seems like it can do that thing, plus the Leslie is much more convincing. In a continuing series of me mangling Gilmour solos, I did a quick pass on Mother last night. The one drawback is there is no mix knob on this, because of the small form factor they ran out of room. So my take is it's pretty right on for live Gilmour, bhut a bit to wet for the studio. I think running a blender pedal with it you could get extremely close though. https://samply.app/p/RD3BA6HhsgoLW5rIKkh9
  12. Sacrilege, but the fact I have my old melody maker is keeping me from getting a single cut Special right now. Damn you Jimmy.
  13. Good work all around guys, well done.
  14. Where you think you are at homie.
  15. Yeah its not something I personally can say one way or another, but just something I've heard the vintage Junior nuts discuss. I really want a vintage special single cut. One of these days.
  16. It does, I have come to really love the old Junior/Special sound. See edit above though, I meant junior not special. I always reverse them. There's a line of thinking the Juniors sound better with the single P90, I think because the single route maybe? I'm not sure, there's some reason though.
  17. Single cut Junior.* Sorry Jimmy, was too quick on the draw
  18. I cannot deny this.
  19. The nights I've played for my bar tab are numerous.
  20. Yeah GG are my dad's all time favorite, so I got a heavy dose as a kid. Funny story, one of my best friends text me a couple of years ago, 'hey have you ever heard a band called Wishbone Ash?' My response was some along the lines of oh buddy you done fucked up now, hope you got several days on your hands to discuss lol. I texted my dad as that conversation was going on.
  21. I'll preface this by emphasizing I'm someone who listens to Gentle Giant, Wishbone Ash and the like, the problem with early Genesis and Peter Gabriel is the shit was just half baked. They got a lot better at what they did later. It wasn't really commercial vs non commercial.
  22. Both Genesis and Peter Gabriel did waaay better separate than they did together. Mike Rutherford was the only one that was equivalent in and out of the band.
  23. I dunno homie, Walking into Clarksdale sounds pretty good, and Plant personally wanted Albini.
