My home studio is in the basement (the studio is maybe 400 square feet...but that includes the vocal booth and an equipment storage area)...and to get to the basement, there's a pretty steep staircase. (The basement is about 2000 square feet finished...and I wanted to save some space for the home theater, pool table, fireplace area in the middle, playroom, spare bedroom...so I didn't want to make the studio too big.) ANYWAY, I'm rambling, sorry...when the B3 organ & Leslie got delivered, the guys who drove it from Pennsylvania had to get it down the steep staircase...and I was scared shitless. It's not too wide and I was worried they were going to not handle it and it would go crashing down. I have a seriously bad back from my accident (had surgery for it in 2022) and I couldn't really help them. But those two guys were the two strongest fuckers I've ever known. I don't know how they did it. They got it down those stairs and into the studio (I put it in a sort of corner area with a little nook that goes off to the side). But the B3 and the Leslie are so, so fucking heavy. I can't even describe how heavy they are. The Leslie makes any normal amp feel lightweight.
I really should post a picture or two of the studio. It's fucking awesome. I basically spent 20 years dreaming it up.Comment

Yeah they are a boutique brand but great people to deal with. Andy Fuchs has a repair business as well. He does warranty work for Soldano, Friedman and others. I found the guys who design the best amps spent a lot of time repairing them. Easy as hell amps to work on. Not a nightmare like a Mesa Boogie.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

The 6505 MH are decent too. USB out, shows up as an audio interface in a DAW.
I've been playing this Katana Artist I picked up a couple years ago. It's versatile. The 6505 MH doesn't like single coil guitars but the Katana likes them all.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

Wolfgang Van Halen Says He Was Saving Eddie From Messing Up In VH Shows
"I think between locking in with Al and just jamming with him and then also, because my dad was bad
at counting, so he’d come in early or come in late. And Al and I would like to swoop in and save him. He’d have no idea. So locking with Al but at the same time being that safety net for Pop if he ended a solo early
or went a little long or something like that."
Whew. Pity he wasn't on all the VH tours...

https://rockcelebrities.net/wolfgang-van-halen-says-he-was-saving-eddie-from-messing-up-in-vh-shows/In a recent chat with Drumeo, Wolfgang Van Halen discussed his role in Van Halen, particularly how he and his uncle, Alex Van Halen, had to cover for Eddie Van Halen’s timing during performances. The host initially asked the following about his experiences playing bass on Van Halen’s A Different Kind of Truth Tour in […]Originally posted by sadaistI don't mind that one Nickelback song. I just hate the fact that they put it on every album 10 times.Comment

Really? Well, Eddie's kid wasn't helping him from messing up at the show I saw in 2008.
The statement also makes no sense considering how many of the CVH songs start off with just guitar, thus Eddie couldn't come in early or late.
Is Wolfgang's strategy nothing other than these lame stabs at Mandela Effect gaslighting he has been propagating for the last three years?
It seems likely Eddie eventually agreed to work with Roth because Eddie's kid had enough common sense to realize come 2006 that that was what the majority of rock fans wanted to see, and Eddie did the Roth reunions probably more because he enjoyed playing with his kid than necessarily wanting to play with Dave again. All of that stuff I can buy into.
The rest of what Eddie's kid has to say publicly comes across as dubious/specious as the more egregious porky pies Hagar has cooked and served up over the years.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

This fuckin' "kid."
I'm so sick of his fucking shit. He just talks and talks...
...now he "saved" his dad from fucking up live?
Well, yes...Terry is right. Apparently the band were complete fuck ups from 1974-1984. They were a notoriously live band, with Eddie always fucking up.
Thank God Wolfgang came in to "fix everything up."
Mother fucker. Seriously.Roth Army Militia

Mother fucker. Seriously.
Ed didn't get his mojo back 100% until the ADKOT tour. Ed got a buff and shine rehab stint (along with some dental work) for the 2007-2008 tour, but Ed couldn't manage to make it through the entire tour without relapsing.
And I've seen enough clips of the 2015 tour to determine that Eddie was playing just fine and playing off the drums as opposed to the bass. Wolfgang was in the band because Eddie wanted to play with his kid. None of the paying fans particularly wanted to see Eddie play with his kid. That situation was tolerated because seemingly it was the only way we could get Ed and Dave onstage together.
I mean, who the fuck knows? Maybe Eddie's kid really believes the shit he is saying. Eddie used to spout quite a bit of bullshit in interviews himself.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Wolf did fine. He even was in better shape on the reunion tour than he is now. Dave’s voice was shot. The Van Halen’s sounded good but Dave sounded like an old windbag.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

LMFAO How was Wolf "saving" the shows in 2008? Triggering backing tracks FFS?
Who is going to save Wolf from being a self-serving fat fucking liar ape?Last edited by Nickdfresh; 03-10-2024, 04:02 AM.Comment

The last two tours Roth was terrible. No pleasure or snark or whatever in saying that, but it's true.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment
