Dime bag's setup

The only time Dimebag made my jaw drop was when I first watched the vid for Five Minutes Alone...Check the strings at the end of the solo. Yowzer.

Darrell is also known to have mastered Angelo's "Star Licks" instructional guitar video, along with the likes of John Petrucci and Michael Romeo, and not to mention dedicated a Pantera set to him during Pantera's tour of the album "The Great Southern Trendkill", in which he played some guitar pieces of Batio's notorious "Speed Kills".

I have a copy of a live Cowboys From Hell video, he absolutely blazes on it..

Check out some of the Pantera stuff here, quality viewing: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-1648306492583625113&hl=en-GB

TBH for the sort of music you're looking at you may be better off getting a cheapish overdrive pedal rather than a booster (booster such as the classic TS-9 etc) to stick in front of your amp. Basically you just want something that will push your sound a little more before it hits the amp.

Failing that, wait until you get your new guitar and see what difference it's spicier pickups make to your sound?

Lol Mr I know everything doesn't know something.

I never said I knew everything :confused:

I don't know him cos I hold the belief that metal music is crap. If he's a metal musician then he's of no interest to me

Naffa · 17 Sep 2006 at 14:58

Ah right.. "I don't like it so it's crap." That's much better.

And if him being a metal guitarist wasn't enough.. :eek:

A bloke with long hair and a pink beard!! :eek:

Pretty much everything but metal

Not a massive fan of bangra or Happy hardcore.

Are you digging about so you can have a go at my tastes? As I thought you were above that

Absolutely not, live and let live I say-I will admit to liking folk music, country, classical, blues.. pretty much anything apart from reggae and house stuff

I just wondered if you were anti-metal 'cause you were rutted in a "different camp", thankfully not so.

Gilly · 17 Sep 2006 at 21:22

I can listen to anything. There's even a couple of Opera pieces I love (Nessun Dorma being the main one). Then there's classical (Air on a G string is simply amazing). I like pop (JT, MJ, etc), rock, dance, even a bit of grunge. I simply don't like metal music. I'm aware that there's fantastically talented musicians in the genre, you just usually can't tell that they are.

Right...

Gilly said:
FFS will you lot stop crapping on this thread talking and posting about a rubbish band? You know thats not the subject matter.

Lol?

(From the Cream thread btw)

I think you need to stop portraying your opinions as facts.

Gilly · 17 Sep 2006 at 21:40

I think you need to understand that anything put forward regarding how good music is is nothing more than opinion and that I've been this way for years and I'm not going to change for you.

If you can't see that all I'm sharing is my opinion then thats your problem, not mine.

collisster · 18 Sep 2006 at 22:25

pleez can you help me not argue about music. can you give me some examples of goo dbooster pedals in the 50-100 pound range? for metal for my rh100g2 amp if you forgot, I need a booster pedal to drive the amp harder

Psymonkee · 19 Sep 2006 at 00:12

I know it's OT but I'm tired, it's late blah blah blah....

Quick Q for Gilly tbh:

How do you define Metal as opposed to Rock? Just curious really

Gaijin · 19 Sep 2006 at 11:45

I also find it hard to believe that there isn't at least a few metal/hard rock songs you like/would like. I don't generally like dance/trance but I don't mind some of my sister's stuff. To write off a genre based on a prejudice is rather narrow minded in my opinion.

Gilly · 19 Sep 2006 at 12:10

I don't really want to go any further so if people do want to discuss then start a new thread or get in touch or something. I'll answer these points so we don't get more asked. I define the music by how it sounds. I'm not sure how else it could be defined?

I'm not saying there's zero metal music out there that I'd like. I'm saying I've never encountered any of it, but that I've not gone out of my way to encounter it because I generally dislike the entire genre. I wouldn't have thought that'd be too hard to fathom, if you like one genre and dislike another genre you're going to explore the one you like far more thoroughly, no?

I don't know where the prejudice has come in. I've judged the music once I've heard it and not liked any of the stuff I've heard. Thats not being prejudiced.
