  1. Not at all.

     

    Obviously ignoring the "PROPAGANDA" part, but the rest has a very Prince-vibe to it... I can't be the only one who can feel this?

     

    You must have been living under a rock then because I saw a slot of people mentioning Prince.

  2. A lot of people compare Break It To Me to RATM but the whole song reminds me of ATS-era Linkin Park, especially the ending. When They Come For Me or Wretches and Kings.

     

    This, exactly. Even the vocal melody of the verses sounds LP/Chester-ish to me.

     

    Loved ATS by the way, for me LP definitely hit the right spot there.

  3. Everyone’s gonna talk about how funky and rude this is but let’s not forget that the best part is one bit that isn’t the chorus.

     

    Holy shit, what an amazing part.

     

    You mean the awesome descending vocal line at the end of each chorus in that delicious Phrygian scale?

  4. Haha yeah I wanted to make it versatile but still relatively straightforward in terms of use, so the mojo switches were a really nice addition.

     

    Current tuning is drop A (so AEADGBe), with a .70 gauge for the lower string and 10-52's for the rest. Will probably also use it in standard B, but yeah :).

     

    First I was planning on having a clear finish on the neck, but because there was some sort of glue residue near the neck join (circled in the first 2 pics) we decided to go for satin black instead.

  5. That's awesome, do you have any work in progress pictures? It's not the one that had the three piece maple neck with ebony strips is it?

     

    Here is a bunch of pics the guys sent me.

    As you can see Tim actually decided to pick a different scratch plate at the end because it looked better, and I'm glad he did :)

  6. Yep, all mine!

    When I dropped by the workshop 6-ish months ago I asked about their plans on future runs of 7-string E-shapes, and Adrian mentioned that they had this spare body lying around, completely 'naked' still, just a bit of paint residu on it. So after mailing back and forth for a bit about the possibilities and what I'd like on such a guitar I decided to go for it and make it my very own custom E-shape 7 string.

     

    I always thought the Xenokroma finishes looked amazing so I saw my chance and took it :happy: And Tim has done a fantastic job in creating the look that I had in mind, so I couldn't be happier!

  7. Comparisons made to Muse songs:

    Assassin, Bliss, Darkshines, Easily, Endlessly, Eternally Missed, Fillip, Forced In, Madness, Map of the Problematique, Micro Cuts, Panic Station, Plug In Baby, Space Dementia, Take A Bow, The Gallery

     

    It's funny because if Matt or a journalist would use these songs to describe TDS I don't think anyone would've guessed correctly what it sounds like.

  8. Because once you release a greatest hits, 95% of the time you're admitting you're past your prime, and Muse are still trying to get on the radio.

     

    a few artists that made one before releasing some of their best material:

    Eagles

    Foo Fighters

    RHCP

     

    Also Radiohead I guess. Or do we not speak of that one?
