  • Decent

    Zack has some cool takes. Both are very snobby or brainwashed over vintage gear and/or “tone wood”. Rhett’s commie views, anger over how large companies do business, and bad habit of counting other people’s money makes some topics unlistenable. But, I always return like a dog to its own vomit.

  • Rhett’s dumb take on Lars is infantile

    For Rhett to address Lars as “not a real drummer,” is an example of a fool making a blanket statement without context and thought. There would be no Metallica, or at the least would be a very different band without the influence Lars had on Hetfield in the early stages of their musical relationship and journey

We Answer Your Questions!

They describe meeting at events and stores (Grimey's, Novo), starting with shared interests, mutual editing help, and a long-running friendship that evolved into the podcast over several years.
Mod Your Guitar!

It's mostly an aesthetic difference; double black pickups are rarer, but it doesn't affect the sound significantly.
Mod Your Guitar!
Q: Where are we at price-wise in the market of these pickups?
The price of a PAF depends on the color of the bobbin and originality, but the market seems to be increasing overall.
Oz Noy: “Go Out Of Your House And Play Live”
Q: Did the two influence each other? Like, did you find yourself on your heavy metal, your pop gigs at the time, thinking about your jazz harmony or?
I learned to kind of separate it, but it started to connect when I began playing R&B and blues without a singer, which led me to incorporate my jazz vocabulary into those settings.
Oz Noy: “Go Out Of Your House And Play Live”
Q: What advice would you give some of the younger players out there that are listening who might want to kind of follow in your footsteps sonically, kind of blending the jazz and the blues and R&B and funk and rock worlds together?
Today's world is completely open to blending genres, and younger players should have strong roots in the blues and jazz for a solid foundation.
