AOR means "album oriented rock", it means they weren't playing singles or the charts. Today it would be called 'deep cuts". And yes, occasionally they'd play a whole album, usually late at night.

They do. Neil Young pretending he could hear the difference between a digital and analog recording is one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard.
Jeremiah Bailey
A few decades ago, people would actually go deaf and develop tinnitus.
These days, as long as you have good stage monitoring, where you don't need to constantly turn yourself up to hear what you're playing, you'll be fine. Some bands just use in-ear monitors and silently plug their gear into the house PA system.
In a modern day gig, the crowd mostly hears the PA, not your amps. Being on stage doesn't sound the same as being on the crowd.
Ryder Johnson
A lot of them do, or did.
But, stage volumes aren't that loud, as they're behind the PA, so most of the damage came from the amps right in back of them. In-ear monitors and ear plugs can reduce the risk of damage. If you're playing live and not using ear plugs, you're dumb. Don't get tinnitus like I did, it really fucking sucks.
Tyler Bennett
why are the screws for the string trees all fucked up? you remove your string trees? Why are there two string trees? Why is the truss rod access hole so shitty? Why did you take off your strings and restring with the same strings? Why is your nut not flush with the neck? Why don't you cut your string ends? Why are you using the flash outdoors? Why is there a bunch of straw mixed in with your turf? Why is the gold on your tuners fading?
Your guitars are literally the cruddiest guitars on here... why do people suck your dick? I suspect it is just a bunch of samefaggotry from you.

Saved up a thousand or so bucks, I really want an explorer shape guitar, black.

People say it's overpriced, but I do like the look, except for the non-ebony fretboard.
How are the dirty fingers pickups? How likely am I going to get fucked buying a guitar without trying it first?
It's cheap crap but they charge you as much as nice crap.

I can't promote buying anything from Gibson right now, new. Fuck them, and their quality is in the toilet. Look for something vintage.

When guitars cost that much they're normally worth it, in terms of craftsmanship. A well made guitar is the kind of instrument that's coveted vintage gear decades later despite care consisting of hanging on your wall and occasionally being inside a hardcase and with stuff like ESP you're paying for even more expensive constructions than set neck, like neck-thru, which provide more stability and durability.

Pre amp gain around 5-6, volume usually just past 6 or to the point of power valve saturation. From there, put any kind of boost or drive of your choice in front. No noise gate because that's for pussies.
Ryder Williams
This is garbage talk, typical of people who own shit-tier guitars. People have been shitting on Gibson for two reasons:
1. They are American made 2. They are out of most foreigners price range
That's it. And if you're not some shoeless third world nigger and you've actually been to a guitar shop and compared an Epi with a Gibson you would know that Gibson USA is vastly superior to most guitars out there, let alone some epi knockoff made by a chinaman

Caleb Reed
3. They're faithful to "the good ol days". This confuses younger people who didn't grow up idolizing ace frehely. Without that old pop culture assocaited with the guitar it's hard to imagine why you'd want a thicker, heavier, decapitation-prone electric guitar with a sticky nitro finish that's less durable and long lasting than a thin coat of quality urethane.
Hence all the young talent playing MIJ ibanez, and fender at the most "classic".
Because ibanez guitars are bolt-on like fenders (but with smaller heels and angled bolts to compensate) and Japanese ESPs are neck-thru
American ESP is even pricier because they're hand made and offer customization
Henry Foster

If you're talking about the cheap low end Epis then yes they are shit compared to a Gibson. They higher end Epis are much better and if set up right are very good for the money. But to be fair, you'd probably be better off getting a used LP Studio for the same price as a new high end Epi.

There are musician’s earplugs that don’t distort pitch or anything, plenty of people use them. That or in-ear monitors of course. You should bring earplugs to concerts you go to as well.
They've all got push pulld. The recently announced HH promod has got some weird series and parallel humbucker wiring going on. A real shame because they look close to perfection when it comes to superstrats.

For live stuff it's too valuable to take out on the road so that's where My signature EB guitars step in. My signature guitar is good but it's no '59 Burst!"

Here anything but deans and cheap china made guitars get bashed. And there is usually only one guy doing the bashing, even though he samefags a lot to make you think otherwise.
I've tried the Boss Kaka and it's totally shit. I believe most of the hype around it is created by Boss's marketing team (read shills) and by beginners who don't really know good tone from a bad one, they just look at the specs like its 1x12 speaker, all the built in effects, all the effects you can add to it with your computer and also its USB recording feature so they see all that and its price and they think it's the best thing ever when you can't even find an amp with a 12 inch speaker in that price range let alone all the other features it offers. I've heard the THR10 and it's infinitely better sounding than the Boss Kaka but I don't like the high gain version as it's geared towards metal.
Austin Price
I can’t find the original hot rats record on soulseek. Everyone seems to either have the 1987 rykodisc remaster or the 2012 “universal music remaster.” Anyone have any idea where I could find the original? The 1987 one zappa did himself is great but I want to hear the damn original.

>Get a job >Buy a Gibson >Cut off your penis >Thank me later
Haven't tried the other models but the C is the one for 'blues, jazz and cleans'. The original is the allrounder model I guess with an option for clean, crunch, gain. There's only two settings that yield a decent gain tone on the C but none of them I would use for metal. The crunch and cleans are superb though. I would assume it sounds as dry as the other models without any effects. Every amp does without reverb in my opinion. Also keep in mind that these things don't take pedals well. The tone at about 12:40 is probably the most metal you can get out of the thing. You really have to play them in person though, the youtube demos sound really boxy but those amps all have stereo effects. youtube.com/watch?v=7baqR3R6098 Plenty loud. I got mine at half gain and half master volume and that's as far as I would go in my flat. Not an amp for big venues though. I never took it to practice or anything to see how it stands up against the drums, got an orange for that.
/gg/ still doesn't know about the placebo affect or the appeal to authority fallacy
>well, this guy is good and he says gibsons sound good >sure he also grew up idolizing gibson players >sure this hasn't been verified in a double blind test >but what's facts and logic when you live with your parents? even if i waste my money it doesn't mean anything. saving for retirement? lol i was gonna kill myself after 30 years of virginity.

Because they aren't. They're literally some of the best made guitars in the world. FujiGen is a great manufacturer. I have two MIJ FujiGen Ibanez guitars and they're both just the tits.
I think its grape ice. I saw something similar on reverb only with no pickguard and green plastic covers on the pickups and I fucking want it.

overharvesting by furniture fags (actual furniture) deplted all the large, pretty looking cuts of wood. there's almost none left. none.
unless you buy vintage guitars for tens of thousands each you aren't getting a one piece honduras mahogany everything and a brazillian rosewood fretboard treated with nothing but a light coat of oil.
as it would happen, when you use up all the furniture-grade wood for making fancy furniture, you can no longer make fancy furniture, and that includes guitars that are made to double as wall art and conversation pieces. thankfully it does not affect the tone at all.
I play the bottom E vs the middle E so that the Bass and Mids are the same volume, adjust the presence by making the top E the same volume as the middle E. I try to get the gain just past breakup so it doesn't sound like note soup and then boost the treble a little more for a more aggressive bite. Not too much!
Lucas Miller

This wasn't me It plays nice. I like the thin Wizard neck. Sounds good too. As for the color. It's kind of a chameleon color. Depending on the light it can have green/blue/purple/red tones to it.
