Members thesinner66 Posted September 21, 2010 Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 I dig Premier Guitar magazine. I think at times it's a bit cork sniffer w/ the gear they review but it's a great magazine for guitar gear and not getting the flavor of the month you get w/ Guitar World.

Members MattACaster Posted September 21, 2010 Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 Nice rig run down. Good luck getting an old bassman modded like Mikes though. It's not too difficult. The channels are jumped internally and there is a slight mid shift of the bass channel. My buddy has one modded to Mike's specs by Billy Zoom who actually did Mike's. Sounds killer!!! EDIT: Looks like Mike switched it up and isn't using the Zoom anymore. Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eyeball987 Posted September 21, 2010 Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 I never understood Social D. All of the tunes sound the same to me. Can someone suggest a CD for a Social D newb that I can download from Amazon today? I will give it a few spins to see if I can get it to sink in.

White Light, White Heat, White Trash or Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell. But I really recommend WLWHWT. Thats what got me into SxDx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jak83 Posted September 21, 2010 Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 Somewhere Between Heave and Hell is a pretty phenomenal record, it's one of those albums that I just never get tired of. I'd definitely check it out. I could plug into Mike or Jonny's rig and do anything I'd ever need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't play mine nearly enough. ..and I need to drop some Duncans in my LP Gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like Sex, Love, and Rock 'n Roll and the self titled album more than Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, but you really can't go wrong with any of their albums. I do agree with Matt, White Light, White Heat, White Trash is a good album to start with if you aren't too familiar with Social D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're great live and that album has most of their best work. I usually catch them every time they're back home and play at the house of blues, one of my favorite bands.

They are playing the House of Blues here with Lucero (another awesome band ). I already got my tickets I haven't seen Social D live before. I've been a fan for over a decade and have yet to see them at a show. Of course, they only come to Houston like once a leap year:cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted September 21, 2010 Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 Forgot about the Roxy album. Thats a great one too. I got a great boot from '04 if anyone is interested. Was that when they toured with Matt Freeman on bass? A buddy of mine saw that show here in Indy at the Murat. I liiiiiike Social D, but not love. My gripe is their tempos. I think it's usually a touch slow for teh punx. I like simple/raw sounding music, I also enjoy slow music, but to me if its gonna be slow, it should have a little more. Reggae etc.. If it's gonna be simple and raw, it should be a little faster like the Ramones or something. One of the versions of 1945 on the "mainliner" ep is great, but then I hear prison bound or something and just get bored. It's so slight too, juuuuuuuuuust a touch too slow usually. They're definitely cool guys though. That's just me though. Compared to album speed, how's the speed in '04? Maybe I'd like it. Now, go get your little {censored} pierced, and some crazy color for your hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Mainliner tempos are what you are after then I think the '04 show wouldn't be what you are looking for, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Social D live more than any other band and every single show has been killer. My only complaint is that they seem to ignore the White Light album these days. :cry: I want to hear Dear Lover live, dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
