Is this video on YouTube or otherwise shareable? Keri Kelli is oddly enough a friend of mine, I’m sure he’d like to see this 😁

Euclidean rhythms are so passé. Try some Golumb Rulers 😂

I thought it was amazing. I guess my cynicism needs to progress 🤔

Same boat. Im a us citizen and I live in France and I’m terrified of returning . My parents are getting up there in years and I really don’t want to have to come back 😬

In the same vein, I think they suck just as much as before. But I don’t think their new singer deserves any of the abuse that has been thrown at her. And Chester’s son is a fucking nutjob

Only heard one track, but it slays

One of my favorite bands. I really appreciate how ridiculously technical they are without taking themselves too seriously

Pretty stoked with my hybrid modeler / pedalboard setup

I actually chatted with Faust a little bit. He seemed pretty remorseful about what he did as a drunk stupid teenager 🤷♂️. And he liked my poison idea shirt

I met ihsahn too! Very chill guy.
And while we were in Norway my buddy got a tattoo from Trym (I guess that’s his day job)

Kj has zillions of cool stories, if I’m not mistaken he wrote a book about it. He was also the merch guy on Slayers first tour when they were opening for venom

Well that is way more impressive.
I should mention my entire conversation was “hi, is kj there?” “Yeah, hold on a sec”

Does talking to Lars on the phone count as meeting him? 🤔
My friend KJ used to run their fan club (if you look at old copies of the first 3 albums you can see his old roseburg address) and he had to use my phone one day

We saw/heard it during the match. It’s kind of a meh song, even by Eurovision standards 🤷♂️

Chase Bliss makes great stuff . I have the clean and onward, very inspiring, but deep. Will be spending a lot of time getting to know them

Rosetta Stone is the same - all repetition. Which is important, but needs to be balanced with information.
And yes immersion is better (I live in France), but constantly asking language questions is a great way to kill a conversation

Not really impressed with either. I’m still on Duolingo but they seemed more similar than different (don’t care about the branding or imagery).
What neither provides is the “why” in French, why toujours and not encore? Show me the imperfect and conditional at sane time… I want to see the rules

Fun advise: stay looking cool and just enjoy making noise.
Serious advice: get a metronome and focus on your rhythm (being solid is way more important than a zillion notes).
Listen to some music - you and the kick drum need to become intimate - but then play with that relationship
Have fun

Are you going to start working on some Chris Barnes-esque pig squeals? 🤔

I’d love an ENGL just because I like all the knobs and lights.
As far as actual tone goes, not sure I could tell the difference between it and the ENGL modeled in my Fractal FM9 🤷♂️
