GAWD -I knew a guy who had one of those POS! The hum and hiss mustve been about -10db . Sounded like ass but they were cheap.

I wrote it with a German accent. People take irritation more seriously in German. warum?

I would sort of miss Crate. Seems like they could at least make stuff better than Bugera if they tried.

You assumed that we were talking about "Stereotypes". It isn't what anyone said...but I can see you just came in to make up stuff then argue about it. In fact you are coming in here making numerous assumptions altogether. So I can see this is a no-win...not with e-bullies like you. Fact is...we as human beings change. Sometimes for good sometimes not. And music is just a small part of that. You can keep thinking you know everything and are already perfect. The subject of the op "Anyone ever grow out of heavy metal as you get older?." I spoke out against this very thing. its BS for the following reasons 1. "heavy metal" is a stereotype no less than saying "black music " 2. It assumes that you had to be childish to like anything that someone shoves into the category 3. It devalues past experiences without regard to actual content. So I did comment on the subject-your interpretation of my words needs work. I dont see how I was bullying anyone or where I claimed personnal perfection!

You must be young...because you don't see that people change. What sounded awesome when you don't know {censored} sounds like {censored} when you do. Just like thieving some bubble gum seems like a good idea at the time, when you were 10. You GROW UP to know better and how to earn the things you want. Well, you should. You don't ALWAYS know all the good stuff. There's too much, for one. Your journey to seek good music should never end..no matter how old or how imperfect. It sometimes means you change as a human and that is usually a good thing. It means you leave childish simple things behind. It doesn't mean it wasn't important. It means it's just another step on the journey. You're putting words in my mouth! You assume that I liked something that was "bad" out of ignorance. So if I liked Bach at age 5 then I am an idiot to still like Bach?? My appetites are my own and just because I may be exposed to new things doesnt mean the devaluation of previous experiences. Closing your mind to new stuff because its not "metal" (or any other style) is shallow. To let others influence your decisions based on stereotypical assumptions is the sign of a weak mind.

I find this thread and others like it INANE. Stereotyping is BS. Why would anyone stop liking a song that they found appealing. On the other hand only an idiot likes something because they are told its in a stereotypical style akin to something they may have previously enjoyed without regard to the actual content of the "new" material. Great musicians arent constrained by stylistic over-simplifications and intelligent listeners arent either. If you're that easily swayed then you still belong in the KISS army and were probably a lemming in a former incarnation!

Almost everytime I change strings I get bit by one. Its like a deal signed in blood!

Well dont forget that Angus uses a wireless! Also the sound engineers are sculpting that sound with compression/eq and effects both live and in the studio.

Cant say that I luv or hate him. His guitar playing is world class but his songs for last 25 years have sucked. BTW @ HeatherAnnePeel -that sounds like a strippers name!
