Hey!....Don't knock 60's robot phone. He's pretty cool unlike Cock Pod.

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
Probably a "HiWatt". They must have put it there for Pete.
As far as that "slayer stack", it looks bad as hell, but you do realize that only a couple are actually plugged in, or they're for about 6 different guitars. All of that sound is really coming from the pa system, and you never hear the amps at a concert.Tube amps don't really have distortion, they have "overdrive". which technically DOES distort the signal, but a distortion pedal creates a different, more "heavy metal" sound. They both have a great purpose though.

This is far from accurate. Real heavy metal sound comes from tube amplifiers, only poor people and kids use distortion pedals. Some might add a subtle overdrive pedal like a tube screamer to the mix, but it is certainly commonplace to get all the overdrive needed from a high output pickup and a tube amp. RIP Jim.

Yeah! I used to be in a band with a fellow guitarist, he was of the Stratocaster & Marshall kind, and I had a Les Paul and a Fender Primceton Chorus.
Playing along a guy who has an amp that does not originally feature a master volume to handle distortion on middle volume levels can be a pain in the ass

That's when an attenuator comes in handy.

Talking of pains in the arse, years and years ago I saw The Cure at a warm up gig for the Wish Tour at the Town and Country Club in Kentish Town. A tiny little place with sticky floors. It was packed and as I couldn't see I ended up sitting on Simon Gallup's speaker stack. Their manager said I could sit there as my arse stopped the leads being pulled out! Having Simon Gallup's bass going right up through me was better than any vibrator I've ever used :drool1:Yeah!

You will be welcome on any amp of mine any day. Just for the sake of you busting a nut, I would turn up the bass to ridiculous levels, of course. :lips:

It is not far from accurate. You make valid points, but what I posted is true. There is no part of my post that states, no heavy metal guitarists use tube overdrive, I merely stated the 2 are very different, and sound nothing alike. But, I would bet my last dollar, most heavy metal guitarists...TRUE metal guitarist, uses JUST tube distortion....and Metallica isn't what I consider heavy metal.
RIP. I know that most of the music I listen to would not sound the same if it weren't for him and his company. As a guitar hobbyist (who's broke), I've often lusted over a nice full Marshall Stack with a Kerry King signature Head.
I'm not going to argue with you. I've been playing guitar for 20 years and have owned all sorts of equipment. I tend to pay attention to what makes good tones, and the pros don't rely on distortion pedals.
