I almost died the other day

That venue does not look close to where you live? I also can't imagine it would be like that. A KL without a mosh pit is impossible.

They have a couple tours in Canada but none in Montreal =(

That car encounter sounds like a nightmare. Glad you're ok buddy.

I'm going to buy a EVH 5150 III today most likely, same amp used by KL's guitarist!

I would travel and see family in Ohio and see the show. I've been to that venue many times but mostly for orchestral symphonies. I am unsure where the mosh pit would be.

re: amp

Nice!

I'm still using a cheap knock off Fender Stratocaster and amp. It's not ideal but it works. I've actually accumulated some money but unfortunately have some car expenses coming up. Otherwise I might start looking at a nicer Gibson Les Paul knock off or potentially an original. I don't even really have opinion on amps yet besides the tones they can produce. The biggest thing is it would be amazing to have a larger neck. I don't have huge hands but they are larger than average but the bigger problem being my fingers are not narrow.

That was divine intervention. G*d came down from heaven and moved the car out of your way. neet life is indeed fucking boring. I'm thinking about becoming a security guard. Not sure if I can though. They may have some kinda psych tests and I got a fined for battery couple years ago.

That's great Curb that you are thinking about being gainfully employed. I was a security guard whose biggest concern was Heinz Ketchup R&D and checking on the pipes. I didn't have to take any tests.

But, God Damn it! You gotta resize or delete that picture.

I picture Loco with an Ibanez. Although, not all the way with a 7 stringer and tuned weirdly.

Nah, 1 of the guitars is probably Ibanez 7 stringer down tuned

Not quite ready to invest in one but maybe at some point if I can't manage to scratch that heavy itch with my other heavy guitars (Schecter Hellraiser C-1 and ESP LTD EC-401). Yeah they play on two 7s from Ibanez. I'd definitely get an Ibanez as well, I played my brother's and the thin necks are awesome. Makes even more sense with a 7.

Didn't end up buying the EVH, I found a microphonics issue on it (specifically went there to test for that, since my previous amp power tubes had that issue). Luckily I found it. Ended up having a chat with the guy who might know a guy who could repair my Peavey 6505 mini-head so I may just opt for that instead to save a few bucks. That EVH sounded so nice aside from the dead tube though.

u 2 are lucky lol

When playing a sub-$100 guitar on a sub-$50 10-watt amp there is no such thing as scratching any sort of heavy itch. Even messing around with my Boss OS-2 Over Drive / Distortion it is just distortion and/or overdrive and not all that heavy.

Why do you like the thin necks? Because it is good for solo'ing and power chords and the like?

I find scales and power chords to be great on my thin neck but if I am asked to play rhythm and chord progressions sometimes my fingers are dulling other strings. Part of this is surely my chord shapes could be better but part of this is that the strings are closer together on a thin neck.

The smaller your hands are, the more uncomfortable you'll feel playing a 7 string guitar that has a taller neck by default because you have to wrap your hand around it. So it helps if it's thinner to counterbalance this a bit. Most guitars have a curved neck that is quite beefy and can be uncomfortable to play with after an hour or so of playing lots of barre chords or power chords, including both of my guitars. I don't know who else other than Ibanez has thinner necks but it just feels like you don't need to use as much strength to apply pressure on the strings and you have a bit more leeway in how to comfortably place your hand while doing barre/power chords.

lol you dont die in crashes at school-zone speeds

35 mph is about twice faster than the school-zone limits of 30 km/h in my area.

Hopefully this does push him to get one. I'm worried about him.

The thing is he thinks getting a guitar amp is something that will make up for his not having a car...but I don't think thats how it works...I'm more worried than ever.

i do hope loco gets an affordable car 2, like mine 3000$ or so

The thing is loco has a giant ego i think everyone knows that.

He probably goes through alot of mental gymnastics to explain to women why he doesn't even have a car.

The thing is he can only afford like a 1996 Toyota corolla but his ego can't handle it and he won't be able to explain to women why he drives that.

So likely he will realize the best option for him is to use that few k to buy a used motorcycle instead and create a weird Antifa biker gang like sons of anarchy but with crotch rockets and Vespas lol and try to convince women he is cool.
