YCBM for sure. Never liked Iron Man, or Sabbath that much to be honest.

I now own the 50th Anniversary paperback and The Silmarillion Second Edition. Now I need to get Unfinished Tales.

I have still yet to read Unfinished Tales, or the other one, Children of Hurin I think it's called. In other news, just pre-ordered Hobbit tickets for midnight, IMAX 3D. Would prefer regular IMAX, but it wasn't an option.

Gilby... the guy who was brought in solely because he looked like Izzy.

You mean Fortus?

It's funny, but he does look a bit like him at a distance. I remember seeing GNR in an arena, and I was pretty far back. Seeing 4tus with that similar black/dark hair and almost the same array of guitars Izzy played (white ES, black LPC) was pretty funny.

Exactly.

Another thing that gets lost with Gilby is that the dude very well could have saved the UYI Tour for all we know. The guy jumped in, learned all the songs back when the set was pretty unpredictable and did a great job.

Not only did he learn the 30 or so songs being shuffled in and out the setlists, but he did it in two weeks (Slash I think said this on some GNR documentary). Knowing the ins and outs of 30 songs in a two week period is pretty impressive. I think he deserves a say on GNR matters. And the other point raised somewhere in this thread: the majority of people who know of current GNR probably don't think they should use the GNR name, it's not some outlandish opinion of Gilbry's... hell it's my opinion too.

That's the one I have. Bought it in 2010 I think. I've had other versions of all 3 and this is by far the best one I've owned so far. A bit pricey, but worth it. I bought it with a gift card so it felt like a justified purchase.

ritchie is my favorite guitar player of all time, tommy bolin was also a beast died way too young.

Yes, good call. Can't believe I didn't mention him. Shame he only got out one solo album. The JG stuff is pretty good though, and Energy. I like his jazz stuff a lot too, but I could never get into Zephyr.

I am a Metallica fan, and a guitar player, and just, no, to all of that. He may have been good once, but he's a wah whore and mostly just lazy now. Basically he would learn a couple licks and over use them on an album, then learn a couple different licks and over use them on the next album. Kirk Hammett if anything is massively overrated.

And Hetfield? If anything, out of them two I'd say Hetfield (that right hand....) is underrated. Though, being the Metallica representative, I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.

To the OP's question: hopefully.

To me, 12.x lb's sounds like it includes shipping weight and the case, but I could be wrong. I don't think the extra wood on the neck/tuning pegs should make any Jackson weigh that much, but like I said, I don't know much about Jackson's. The RR model I played, I did not like that much. Just out of curiosity, why 8 strings? Is 7 not enough?

Family Guy was consistently good seasons 1-7ish. After that it became hit or miss, and after that it became stupidly redundant and pointless. I was a huge fan when Adult Swim took the helm with FG back in the mid 2000's, I haven't bothered to watch a new episode since season 9? I think. Not to say there haven't been good episodes, but ratio of good:bad became atrocious.

- For years, I thought Axl says "idiot" instead of "hit it" right before the band starts It's So Easy on Live Era

- For years, I thought Axl says "take that wonderheart" instead of "take that one to heart" at the end of Out Ta Get me

I think that's it.

Wow, that's heavier than I expected. I tried looking on the first page to see what your guitar is but it seems this was started as a pedal thread. No Ibanez, ESP, Jackson, or Shecter that I know of should weigh that much, though I only assumed it was one of those based on the fact that those guitars more often than not are the ones with FR. Is it a LP with a FR?

Stupidly, didn't look up a cast list before posting that. Remembered to check right after posting. He will be in it.

All I know is, if Beorn isn't in this next Hobbit movie, I'll be very upset.

"17. A version of Chinese Democracy was completed and ready to be released in 2000; however, when producer Roy Thomas Baker was hired, he decided everything (reported to be up to 30 songs) needed re-recording."

So we have Mr. Baker to blame for the apparent 8+ year delay of the release after 2000? Axl must of hired/fired hundreds of people during the production of this album and he decided to listen to some random producer?? Like wtf.

Was just scrolling down to the bottom to post basically that. Also, I'd be really interested in hearing this 2000 version, can't imagine it's really that much worse than what we got in 2008...

Have you seen the new Floyd sustain blocks? They´re making them in granite the "stone tone" block. I was looking for more information on it, the weight, that is. I wonder if it would get a bit too heavy if I installed one.

Should be fine I'd guess. How much does your guitar weigh now? Mine's 11.1 lbs with no floyd rose. I don't know much and FR, but guitars that have them generally are on the lighter side already, and I don't think they'd make a product that would be too heavy for too many people.

Wow, didn't expect the hate. I love the show. Don't care about the staged stuff, the humor is often pretty good. The specials are great, they go to a lot of places that most people of the Western world would never see/know much about (parts of India, Vietnam, Bolivia, rural Africa, etc.). The show might have some issues, but it's a lot better than 80% of the garbage that is called modern television.

And I like cars, they have very interesting ways of testing them. Other shows do it more by the books, but if I wanted a run in the mill review, I'd read an online/print journalism review. Let the TV show be a TV show.

Keeping my fingers crossed they drive the 918 next series... we'll see.

This is very good, I'd love to see some live videos of this stuff if there's any out there.

Fuck, how have I not been to this section of the forum before?

My favorite guitar is my 2007 Gibson SJ- 100. She is a beauty! I'll have to post pictures sometime

Have a great Stratocaster too

Yeah it's unfortunate that this section isn't utilized more often. I'm sure there are plenty of guitar players on this forum who have digital copies of their material/their playing that could be exchanged here. You reminded me though that I haven't posted any pictures of my gear yet, will take some quality pics early next week.

Speaking of rushing things out before they're finished, Battlefield 4's release has been a complete shambles lol

Freezes on all currently released platforms, netcode is awful. but DICE have been patching the game in efforts to save the game..

they managed to accidentally put in the new weapons which should of featured in the first DLC pack with the patch to address the current issues.

How the fuck do you do that? It's still an awesome game though.

don't listen to me, i like cod ghosts

LOL, so that's what the MTAR and L85 were doing in those new assignments. The PC release was so buggy, still is a bit. Crashing seems to have mostly stopped, now there's a RGB blur that happens randomly. I've only gotten 1 patch since release I think, and that was a week or two ago. This is SOP from DICE though, BF3 was the same way. Though BFBC 2 was much smoother.

I'm a pretty big Zepp fan, but I never liked Kashmir. Coma it is.

Kim Basinger won Oscar for LA Confidential? LOL.

I thought your post was a joke so I looked it up.

Stairway to Heaven is the song you play when someone tells you rock is nothing but noise and screaming vocals.

Agreed.

And even though I went with WTTJ in the other thread, I have to go with Stairway here. It's the quintessential Zeppelin song, and possibly the quintessential "classic rock song." It has had so much influence on so many things (as SCOM has), but I think the arrangement and melodies in Stairway are a bit better than SCOM's. Don't get me wrong, I'm a bigger GNR fan than LZ, but sometimes you gotta know when to pay respect and admit not everything about GNR is perfect. Now Ain't Life Grand on the other hand... that was perfect. Though that's a different discussion, and I know most of you disagree.
