Tonight my pal Matt and I will be hooking up with our new friends Devil Driver at a metal extravaganza. The headliner is In Flames. Devil Driver, Trivium, Zao and one other band will be there to. Gonna be fun!
Hopefully our DD friends will get us back stage.
My buddy Matt and I are planning on attending what should be a killer night of Metal on February 3rd. That night has on tap In Flames, Trivium and Devil Driver.
Devil Driver is a very cool metal band with on of the most unique sounding singers in the metal world…
My pal Matt is at the NAMM show and sends me this email and picture:
OK, so I'm talking to this hardcore-looking guy at the Steinberg booth today. We're talking about how cool Cubase is when he mentions he plays in a band called, "Devil Driver". I shit my pants, and then told him that we were planning to come see the show in SLC on the 3rd of February. He shit his pants right after I pulled my phone off my hip and showed him that I had "Devil Driver" written into my Feb. 3rd schedule. He said he'd get us tickets. Then he said that when he's done with this tour, they're going out with Opeth. He gave me his phone number and said anytime he's in town, he'd be happy to get us tickets.
I love this job!
Matt
Hello fellow musicians and friends! It has been since September 2005 that the Pro Sound Blog Forum has been running. A hacker brought the site down completely. I had the same thing happen to two other forums I ran on the same forum software. One forum was quite large and I HAD to figure out how to recover it.
Long story short, I’ve recovered all the users and posts and installed a different forum software that is less “popular” and hopefully less prone to hacking. The only items missing are most likely attached image files and avatars so you’ll need to reload them. Other than that all is working! I’ll be working to make the “look” into something better down the road.
This board was never the biggest on the web, but it was a great spot for some very talented and smart musicians to talk about their trade. So I invite you to come back to the forum and let’s get this board rolling again!
The forum is now in a new web location: https://forum.prosoundblog.com
Since my switch from the dreaded blogger lame ass blogging software to WordPress I’m now able to take advantage of some new features here.
I’m now working on categorizing all the posts. I have 8 categories currently:
Boneheads: A category dedicated to stupid people and the things they do.
Gear: Recording gear, musicial instruments, computers or any gear I deal with.
Gigs: Stories about my gigs or other peoples gigs.
Random: A blanket category when nothing else works.
Rants: When shit pisses me off I use this category.
Recording: Recording studio war stories, recording techniques etc.
Uncategorized: Means I have yet to decide what category to put the post in.
Now some posts may have multiple categories. For example: A dumbass musician jumps on my stage and plays my drums. He’s drunk and he breaks my snare head and won’t get away from my kit. That post alone could be a combined boneheads, gear, gigs, musicians and rants. I can already see that the boneheads and musicians categories will be selected together many times.
I’m about 25% of the way through categorizing the old posts so be patient.
I had to laugh at the new year’s gig watching my scatter brained guitar player. He was eating fish and chips while singing, playing guitar and trying to light a cigarette. Always entertaining.
So I thought I’d provide the general public with a “real” diagram of a guitar player’s rig, not one of those phony ones you see in guitar player magazine.
