If people are willing to pay, why not? It does suck though that some artists end up tainting their legacy by doing it.

I haven't been to Vegas in decades, but am going this Fall w/a college buddy to see Metallica at the Sphere. Arrive Wednesday, leave Monday, concerts are Thurs and Sat. We're staying at the Luxor. Any restaurant/bar recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also, a good place to watch the games Saturday and Sunday? Thanks!

If you're into 80's rock covers, check out Carnaval Court between Harrah's and Linq (the outdoor circular shaped bar). There's a good resident 80's cover band called The Whippets that plays there Thursday-Sunday.

I have the privilege of playing through a Friedman JEL20. For me, it's just "that" sound.

My guess is guilty on manslaughter, guilty on second degree murder, not guilty on 1st degree murder. No way 9 women will unanimously agree to send this ***** to jail for the rest of her life where she belongs.

Going to get either a lesser charge or off completely if I had to guess. A multi day deliberation is often not a good sign for the prosecution.

0 chance. IMO nothing can justify the killing of any kid, much less your very own flesh and blood.

It does, I get it man. Sometimes though, that better gear will help you get to that next step, maybe because you just love it and play it more.

Agreed... there's a very fine line IMO. While a more expensive guitar or amp won't help someone magically play better without putting in the work, there is also something to be said about materials and overall craftsmanship.

re: Here we go . Best Solo!

Posted by jdd48 on 8/31/26 at 12:10 pm to Snipe

Lots of really good answers here. I am going to drop a couple I don't see yet. Some of my own favorites are not necessarily technical marvels, but here goes anyway.

Man In The Box - the first full bit more technical solo I learned. I play it alot to this day. It's got alot of interesting techniques and that Cantrell flavor.

I Remember You - I've always loved Scotti Hill's playing, and this is one of his great solos IMO. It drips with emotion and ends with those harmonic bar dips that hands back off to Sebastian.

Sail on Soothsayer - Not to be confused with Soothsayer, which is a great song too. The whole song essentially is a bit of a softer melancholy solo.

Make sure you bring something for red bugs. We went a couple summers ago and got eaten up.
