james90 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 It took me longer than I'd like to admit to learn that rhythm properly. I haven't played that song in a long time. Is there actually any #logic behind it? Because I just memorized it. Lolwut? Also James, what speakers do you have in your Orange Crunch 4x12? I don't have the 4x12, but I'm sure they came with the G12T-75s. The amps and cabinets were identical to the standard ones, just more Matthew with orange covering. http://www.musicradar.com/news/gibson-announces-25k-les-paul-inspired-watch ...what? Gibson's Les Paul-inspired watch costs more than a Les Paul Than most Les Pauls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerd herd Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I haven't played that song in a long time. Is there actually any #logic behind it? Because I just memorized it. Probably, but I gave up trying to count and just memorised it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Probably, but I gave up trying to count and just memorised it as well. I didn't even try to count - I went straight to trying to memorize it. But... maybe a good way of understanding it would be counting the beats in each measure, and then the amount of beats in the next measure before the 'stab' occurs? Assuming it's in 4/4: You have four measures at the beginning with no stabs (just palm muted notes) Then the fifth measure you have one STAB three four the sixth measure is STAB two three four the seventh measure is the same as the sixth eighth measure is the same as the fifth and so on. Maybe there's a pattern, but I've only tried listening that far. Edited March 16, 2017 by james90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's highly likely that it isn't, but that's the best I can hear it without using a calculator. And yes Two shows nearby... can't go to either because of scheduling conflicts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 @jbias12 you're in Germany aren't you? The fan club just sent out some pre-sale passwords for two shows there. You should go. Although, I think the guitar show is usually around the same time (October), so don't get yourself into a scheduling conflict like I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Might have a chance to go to Florida in May, so I'm looking at concert tickets. Damn, good seats are quite pricey. $500 for 2 people in Price level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 is that from stub hub? You should just get the enhanced experience, so you can go and take 86 pictures of the old amps and guitars like I did. Maybe they'll even have the kemper setup like they did on the UK tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on going, but holding out to see if there's a MGW show this year at that time. Last one was the first week in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well get the enhanced experience tbh - it's like $50 more expensive Also James, you should go to the Biffy show in DC with me next month. 9:30 is supposedly a great venue and tickets are so cheap Edited March 18, 2017 by Cider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, they still haven't admitted me into that Facebook group so I can show the band the guitar I built assembled The Jason spec (using that term loosely, as I have no idea what was in the original) came back the other day as well. It's really... different looking, but sounds really good. Doesn't look too far off from the original one, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone make a copy of this one. http://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/images/a/a9/Riversscrapedpaint.jpg Nah, I checked LiveNation (supposedly the official site?). Might as well get the enhanced experience tbh - it's like $50 more expensive Also James, you should go to the Biffy show in DC with me next month. 9:30 is supposedly a great venue and tickets are so cheap They have ticket "resellers" on there from what I remember, so make sure you don't have those selected. And you should get that. It's sort of pointless if you plan to get GA and go to the museum thing as well... when I went, most people skipped the museum altogether in order to get a barrier spot. On the other hand, you'll still probably get there earlier than non-VIP, even if you play the psycho riff through the kemper and take 86 pictures of the old guitars. I might do that if it's on the weekend. And of course, it's just that Muse tickets are really expensive. Edited March 18, 2017 by james90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never bought from that site before so I had no idea what those tickets were, but those were $245 seats without the VIP stuff. >"< Honestly I think it's not worth it, considering the fact that we would have to sit through 30 Seconds to Mars to see Muse The Biffy show is n a Saturday! I haven't been to enough concerts to know whether $25 a pop is normal or not, but it sure is cheap for a small, personal venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can look at all the guitars while the opening act is playing, and you don't have to worry about losing your spot. It is. I also once paid under $10 to see Royal Blood at a 250 capacity venue. #CheapAsChips Is it $25 for Biffy in a small venue? Fuck. Yep. That's what I paid to see them at a 550 capacity venue in 2013. No additional charge for the meet and greet either. That was my first time queuing though... 3pm to 8pm seems like nothing compared to what I did for the psycho tour show (5am to 6pm) But then it wasn't out in the cold, and people seemed a lot more approachable at the Muse show for some reason.

Oaft. Would love to see both of those bands in such small venues, especially with tickets that cheap! I was surprisingly lucky on the Psycho tour. Queued for about an hour and got dead near the barrier... until I couldn't stand the heat and moved back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprisingly lucky on the Psycho tour. Queued for about an hour and got dead near the barrier... until I couldn't stand the heat and moved back. I would too. I'd be interested to see what sort of venues Royal Blood are playing next tour... you know, after they finish the album. It seems like it's still possible to get pretty close, even if you're not queuing from 5am or earlier. I did it the difficult way - got there early and didn't move from my spot at all during the show. And I remember you mentioned that. It was really bad at webster hall too... GA was basically just a massive pool of sweat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they played at about 1300-2000 ish capacity places in glasgow, so probably about the same size venues but maybe more dates. Still gutted that I missed both gigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
