    Your 100% correct. Those were both recorded last summer as a one off to occupy time. Chucks on those as well. Ian had a whole different mindset going into the upcoming EPs based off what I've heard. Very much in the middle of Albatross and Beyond the Sun with MUCH better production than...

    I got an early listen of the upcoming EP a few weeks ago. Everything was stellar. Co-worker of mine takes drum lessons from Chuck Keeping and while I hated to see him leave, having Sekou back with Thornley is great as well.

    I've heard a few clips and they sound great. Sekou (drummer when Ian was doing "Thornley" is back and replaced Dave who played drums on the past few albums. Should bring a heavier hand and sound. On a side note, SUHR was making a custom order for Brian (BW rhythm guitar) and finished it just...

    I'll chime in that the Amplitube stuff is great. Haven't messed with it in awhile since I've moved to AXE-FX III, but it worked quite well for recording.

    Pantera at their peak and Phil also at the peak of his heroin use. Great combo.

    A few of us always fly up from Louisiana and try to see them once each tour. Best show we made was their return to the Gramercy in NYC on the Ghosts tour. Was just incredible. The memory is bittersweet, as we followed the band the next night to Boston/Cambridge and saw them play at Sinclair...

    Completely agree. My favorite guitarist band for sure. I've met Ian a few times and my best friend takes drum lessons from Chuck (Big Wreck's drummer). Just down to earth guys that enjoy music and sharing what they know.

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    I'm a bit biased as a LSU alum, but anyone who thinks Ohio has a better team after tonight is a fucking idiot and doesn't know shit about college football. The CFB is past the point of gaming the votes to keep a second SEC team out of the top four and needs to man up and declare LSU #1. An...

    So I picked up a Fender Ultra Strat earlier today. All of my guitars are humbucker based (LP's, PRS, Gretsch Panther) except one old '83 Fender Elite with the noisy pickups. The neck on my old Strat just hasn't held up through the years, and quite honestly I let it collect dust due to it being...

    A guy that works for me played a ranger with me on Nameless named Kenas. I showed him the last few pages on this thread and he lost his shit. So I me of those names had us talking for over an hour this morning. Some of the shit that went down in those first years were legendary. Vanessa...

    Now I'm just curious. That Pic is Euphoria around PoP and about the time I started backing off. Definitely recognize many of the names. My coworker played a beastlord in Euphoria as well named Bloodclot during that period. Was a total badass. Edit: Forgot to add, I played in a small guild...

    Holy fucking shit.........yes that's me. Kalec Brotherwolfe was my main. Played in a few guilds and helped form Euphoria, which many of those names were members of. Those names bring back a TON of memories. Vonkaar especially. Music and Vanessa, who were your toons?

    Lurker, however I've donated $$ because I enjoy the site. Been around since the original board and through all the multiple variations. Played EQ on The Nameless in a few upper end guilds as a druid named Kalec. Did regular nights killing the Priest of Discord in Rivervale with Tigole...

    For the Ian Thornley fans... The new Big Wreck dropped yesterday. Once again, the guitar work is ridiculous. Solo on this one is a bit unlike Thornley with all the whammy work, however the lyrics are written for Brian, their rhythm guitarist that died a few months ago of cancer. The "I miss...

    So I made PLENTY of mistakes in this as it was one take without fully figuring out the song. However, wanted to show off the power of the Fractal AxeFX III. Absolutely nailed Ty Tabor's tone which isn't easy. Can really hear it stand out around 1:33.

    The Lion King (2019)

    Took my two nieces today to see it. I saw the original 200+ times with both my kids (in their 20's now). Agree with what's been said. I was hesitant, but it's actually a great movie, as it stayed VERY close scene for scene to the original. Timon and Pumbaa were definitely the highlights...

    Everquest...... After years of playing on "The Nameless", I befriended Tigole, Desp, and Barnabus of Legacy of Steel. Actually, it wasn't so much of a friendship as it was my main's (Druid named Kalec Brotherwolfe) ability to be their port bitch. As LoS and FoH were the two top guild at the...

    Speaking of Ian Thornley, have you seen the clips of the new Big Wreck album that's being mixed. Ian has obviously dusted off some of the "Thornley" outtakes. Make sure to click to the right and hear the solo for that same song.
