james90 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Damn, GA Royal Blood tickets are only $25 a pop. Do they usually do VIP meet & greet stuff? I remember that one time I paid around $9 or something like that to see them at a 250 capacity venue. Good times. Not on their first US tour, or at least from what I gathered, but radio stations will occasionally run contests like that. I was in line two hours early because I worked right down the road from the venue they played, so they chatted with me in passing for a few. I don't recall seeing any contests on the first tour. And yeah, first time I saw them, I showed up really early. Saw them walk by twice and said hi, but didn't really want to bother them. Waited afterwards the second time and got to have a good chat with Ben as well as a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic. Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Damn, GA Royal Blood tickets are only $25 a pop. Do they usually do VIP meet & greet stuff? Doubt it, not really their thing. Just hang around the venue in the day/after the show and say hi when you see them. Ben's always friendly (not saying Mike isn't, just not met him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them walk by twice and said hi, but didn't really want to bother them. I thought it was them because I remember being real pissed a few random people were getting in real early on some VIP list, but that easily could have been someone else. All the concerts at that venue are sortof blending together at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witz Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Anyone going to attempt getting tickets for the Royal Blood gig tomorrow? Hopefully some kind person records any new songs they play I was there 5 new songs, three that were previously known and two new There wasn't a Gretsch in sight anymore it's all fender now, Mike's definitely running with more distortion now (yes really) and the other two new songs were really effect heavy with lots of Wah on one of them All in all it was a brilliant gig and if the other half of the album is as good we have nothing to worry about and a lot to look forward too!!!

What else did he use? Btw, how do people even get artists to sign their guitars? I assume you can't bring something that big anywhere near the concert venue, right?

Thank you I know that Fender Japan does some medium scale Jazz bass, but not short scale Wonder how big the difference is jumping from 30.3" to 32" Stalkers/have hotel or parking near enough venue that they can pop back after gig, get guitar, go back to venue and wait for them to come out I was wondering if I should contact the venue before hand to see what their policy is, but I would hate to piss the band off "Could you please sign the back of the headstock? Just the back of the headstock please. No no no not the front of the guitar" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the back of the headstock please. No no no not the front of the guitar" I doubt his is a production model. It's probably the same scale as the gretsch, whatever that might be. I wonder what Mike's reaction would be, considering he's always been secretive about his setup. I realize it's mostly the pedals, but still... it's one of the reasons I probably wouldn't bother bringing that ovation to Josh for a picture/autograph if I ever had the opportunity. Wouldn't want to give him the wrong idea, and I have a feeling he doesn't really want to be associated with those guitars anymore. Nah don't worry about it, they're just human too.

He's somehow managed to get three (or two and whatever amount of a guitar that a 15" scale electric ukulele is) signed over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think I'm too socially awkward to ask for a signature anyway.

Cider Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I only got one thing signed. I would never want my name on signed stuff, mainly because I'm 99% sure they would misspell it Usually I just ask for a picture.

james90 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I would have just had several nando's by the time that happens And speaking of cheeky, I just realized something. Tempted to take the black magic marker out and modify this logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I would have just had several nando's by the time that happens Just come hang out anyway Looking at Mike's pedalboard again - I'm wondering if it's possible that he uses the 2 Boss PS6 Harmonist to change the tuning of his bass? That sounds easier than downtuning a short scale to C standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I don't think the harmonist does the effect you're thinking of. That's more like the digitech drop. Plus he seems to switch basses for songs in C anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he seems to switch basses for songs in C anyway. Ah, I see James. I watched some youtube videos for the Harmonist earlier and you're absolutely right. Got the G2220 yesterday. The neck & frets are incredible for a $300 instrument. The 30.3" scale neck feels so different from the 34" AJB too. Irncaster™ is famous Not that it wasn't before. Should be coming back today, along with the blue one. Ohhhhh, that's Gary Brawer's place right? I heard lots of great thing about it when I lived in the area, but I didn't want to drag my guitars on public transit to get there so I just used a mediocre local guy instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 peddleboard is hidden :'( I can't tell, but his main pedal board looks like a liquid foot controller (or something similar) I guess that's one way of preventing people from finding out how you get your signature sound. I do remember that when I last saw them, he had a second pedalboard near the amps just like that. wut? Not sure if you're referring to the lineup or the fact that I've never been to Ireland. I mean. Dave is in Ireland. But everyone else on here isn't. I guess I'm going to Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
