The amount of people getting butthurt over obvious satire is pretty funny.
I like some heavy metal bands, and vastly prefer them over most "modern" metal bands. There’s a grit, rawness and attitude that I find in bands like Enforcer, Skid Row, Toxic Holocaust et al that I have a hard time...
I’m very happy with a Black Winter and a Suhr V60LP in my ESP. The BW is beefy, grindy midrange goodness, and the V60 gives me jangly, gritty cleans and bright, gross lead sounds. I also have a ‘10 RG465 that’s pretty close to the 565 spec-wise. Came stock with DiMarzio D-Activators/Air Norton...
98 % aesthetics, I rarely ever use the neck pickup except for cleans, which I prefer SCs for anyways. Didn’t bother changing out the pot as we tune to drop A#, I find the extra brightness from the 500K pot doesn’t really hurt.

H/S is king, I’ve got this, I’ve since replaced the bloated sounding ESP humbucker in the neck with a Suhr V60LP and put a Black Winter in the bridge. Sounds absolutely ridiculous.
Everyone knows that the top 5 Metallica albums are as follows:
1. LuLu
2. St. Anger
3. Re-Load
4. Garage Days Revisited
5. Death Magnetic
Those early albums are really overrated, IMO.
I play with a keyboardist that’s a trumpet player by day. Dude’s legit the best musician in the band. He doesn’t always pull out the trumpet, but he’s laid down some cool solos on a couple of tracks. Runs it through a pedalboard with fuzz, delay and pitch shifters on it, it gets pretty wild...
I normally wouldn’t care who’s Alice Cooper’s new guitar player, but the chance to see peak male form live and in the flesh is making me feel funny feelings
Think I got banned three times during the ESP Boards hayday back in '05-'09 or so :lol:
Rob makes awesome guitars, even back then, and there were several members on the ESP Boards that got builds from him, Ansley and Drew come to mind. I don't have first hand experience, as RRR builds are...
It doesn’t look like aged Pelham Blue, either :lol: The Schecter looks Silver with some Blue in the first pic, and a really light minty green in the second pic. Again, both really cool colors, but they’re pretty fucking far away from what they’re trying to achieve here.
