Considering the quality and conditions...I'd say it's just average and I don't usually slam Metallica so easily. Sounds too much like different riffs and ideas pieced together, just for the sake of it, like they're trying to recapture some of the complexities of And Justice..songs' structures with ...

Looks like he broke or injured his wrist in some way?

He looks pretty healthy anyway!

Yes, she passed away on the 21st...wow, how sad. R.I.P.

Just read this on BLS MySpace page and for the life of me I can't remember if Michelle is Jake's Girlfriend or Gigi Hangbach.
Anyway, pretty sad news:

"The manager of former PHANTOM BLUE guitarist Michelle Meldrum — who has spent the past few years as the leader of her own band called MELDRUM — has ...

I'm glad like anyone here that Jake is working again, major kudos to him for that!

Yet, I think the combination of Rock/Metal and Rap, if that's really what we're getting into with this project, should be left to rest. I mean, the Beastie Boys did that 25 years ago or something, we got Anthrax and ...

Trem spacing probably wasn't around then? The difference is only aesthetical I think anyway

Wow, really nice thought out comments around here, you can just ignore the post if you don't give a fuck about it. That's smarter.
Next I'll know better anyway.

Even if there's your own twist on it, it looks spot on! Really really nice, great job!

Well, Bob Rock is due to produce the next Motley Crue album.

From Metallica's official website:

"We just wanted to let our friends know that we have been jamming, writing, just plain messing around and having fun in the studio for the last few weeks.

"Oh, and by the way, this up-and-coming producer guy named Rick something-or-other has been coming by the ...

Hey, that's right!

Happy birthday Jake!

Hey, GFS pickups are certainly pretty cool if you're on a budget, and I see it as that, a budget thing but not a budget pickup though, if that makes sense.
If you have something like $100 for pickups just go with SD's or DiMarzio's. Like I said in previous posts, you can get a JB for $80 shipping ...

Looking at my list and even if the white Charvel is obviously everyone's darling, I should have included the "baby blue" Charvel and the crimson red with mirror pickguard Charvel:
