Re: Yummy Phasers

I know this makes me deeply uncool, but I actually prefer the Boss PH-3 to the Phase 90.

Is there something wrong with me? (Other than tone-deafness).

Melvins, Melvins, Melvins...am I repeating myself?

Do it. Now. Buzz Osbourne = king of the riff (and yes, that includes ex-king Tony Iommi).

Then last year I got my Schecter Tempest after taking a small loan from my parents. That's still my main g...

Re: Teh brootalz - recommendations

Other stoner metal stuff to check out would be the Melvins, Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Corrosion of Conformity, Electric Wizard and Orange Goblin.

Re: Auckland Gearfest?

Just out of interest, what amps will be there for us to have some fun with?

I know I want to bust out some riffs on the Captain's Superbass.
