If you could pick any three musician to be guests on your album, who would they be?
I don't think there will be guest musicians on our first album but Rick Graham is one of those who always blows my mind and I'm sure he could fit perfectly in whatever I'd throw at him. Vogg or Jari would also be a dream
If I can't order a Blackmachine B2, which similar builder would you recommend? (Black Water, Skervesen, Siggery etc.)
Keep in mind the brands you mentioned will be only similar in looks, they won't sound like BM. That being said, I think Skervesen are pretty cool folks which are passionate about guitars and build very nice stuff
whats it like being a famous person on the internet
I'm not famous, johnny depp is!
Where do all the guitar picks keep disappearing to?
congratz, now I want to write a song about picks magically disappearing when dropped, transferring to an alternate dimension and finally be free from human's hands and sweat
do you have any pets?
I want a dog very very very bad. Hopefully will later this year
Are you a big fan of John Petrucci and Dream Theater?
Can't say I'm the biggest fan but I surely like them a lot
Sorry if this topic keeps coming up but do you know if Blackmachines are still being made? Has Doug stopped taking orders indefinitely?
Read the many answers on my ask.fm profile
Have you ever bought a guitar without playing it first?
Actually I think I never played a guitar before buying it, except my very first couple guitars when I was a teen.
Would you rather marry Jari or Devin Townsend?
Jari
Im thinking in getting a tube 5150,i wanna ask you about which thing its better, the 6505 100W or 5150III mini, why ?, because live you always mic an amp when you're playing live, and for recording i think that it's the same the 5150III, but the 6505 its louder. wich one would you choose ?
You could just go the pod hd or axe fx route and never have to mic your cab again :) that being said, 5150III mini is the best sounding on all channels.
did u sell it without pickups?
With a BKP Blackhawk set, I already sold Lundgren M7 and Liquifire previously
an opinion on caparison guitars ?
Solid, quality guitars, but never been too much of a fan.
which pickups is it in ur jp12? i saw you sold your m7
No, I sold the jp12 itself!
I am wanting to replace the guitar pickups in my Ibanez GSZ120, and would really like to get a nice tight metal sound but don't need them to be too high output to where i can't get a decent clean or rock tone, I've been thinking about the SD Distortions sh6 but I'm not 100% sure about the cleans?!
BKP ceramic Nailbomb bridge and VH2 neck will give you everything you need
Ceramic Blackhawk and Aftermath would both work tremendously well in it
il tuo livello di pulizia nella plettrata è spaventoso! ho notato che usi una distorsione molto secca e con poco gain e nonostante tutto, fai degli sweep pulitissimi (almeno così sembra nel video del solo dei born of staceppa).
Come posso fare per arrivare ai tuoi livelli?
In no particular order my Top 15 would be:Carcass - Heartwork Testament - The Gathering & The New Order Slipknot - Slipknot & Iowa Suffocation - Pierced From Within Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Immortal - Sons Of The Northern Darkness Death - The Sound Of Perseverance Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos In Flames - Jester Race Decapitated - Carnival Is Forever Wintersun - Time I Gojira - The Way Of All Fleshand many others I guess :)
Hi Francesco! Recommend a good 8 string but not pricey, want to learn AAL and Periphery stuff, also preparing for yours. Thank you!
RG8 is the perfect starting point I guess, no wonder it sells like crazy
Dici che conviene spendere soldi piu' per una demo o per un EP?
ma che domanda è? :) se proprio dovessi dare una risposta, direi investi in attrezzatura per fare una decente preproduzione in casa e quando è il momento e i pezzi sono consolidati, vai con l'EP.
