Compliment whore. You said the same thing about The Golden Boy.
For VK:
Deserted island. Magically, it has electricity. However, you are utterly alone for who knows how long. Maybe forever. You can bring with you...
One guitar that you may or may not own already.
One amp of your choice.
One book.
One non-indigenous fruit-bearing plant or vegetable that will prosper and supplement your otherwise-pretty boring diet.
One well-made and easy-to-maintain melee weapon of your choosing for hunting
One musical artist's entire catalog.
You will be graded on your answers.
i still want my sons to grow up to be like you

UGD, by far!
Aye, that was him! I met him again in line for the Steve Vai show at the Wiltern about 2 months after UGD, now that I think about it!
Guitar: Custom Shop ESP M-II based on my M-I, basically that with a white finish, maple fretboard, EMG 81 in the bridge, custom shop BKP in the neck.
Amp: It'd be a rackmount based preamp/poweramp, like the Randall modules, only I'd have a 5150, Recto, ENGL, and Orange modules.
Book: Catcher in the Rye. I absolutely love this book.
Food: Burrito tree.
Weapon: The gunblade from FFVIII.
Artist's catalog: Devin Townsend, no doubt!
Dream group:
Vox: Devin Townsend
Guitar: Me
Guitar: Mikael Akerfeldt (would also do backing voxs)
Bass: James Leach (SikTh)
Keys: Hans Zimmerman
Drums: Reno Killerich
Metalheads: Krankguitarist, sosomething, Darth whatever (dude I forgot your screen name and didn't see you at the Carcass show!), etc... probably too many to name, and I know I'm gonna forget most of 'em if I try!
Pizza: Sausage, salami, italian sausage, pepperoni, bell peppers, red onions.
Coffee: Don't drink it.
Crackers: Yes, yes I can!
I really actually love the Black Album and AJFA... MoP has lots of cool tunes, but I just hate what they've turned into - it's more of a corporation than a band, and they continue to churn out pure crap and milk it for all it's worth.
Never listened to Sunn 0))), in all honesty. Never been much for stoner/doom/sludge metal/rock/whatever it is.
Not currently - gotta finish up that **** album, first!

I looked at your guitar collection you posted and also had a look at what made the 81 your favourite pickup. Since the Squier Bullet Strat, have you ever considered having a guitar with a single coil bridge pickup?

Dec 21st marks my 18th - couldn't come quicker!
Considering that particular strat was a Tom Delonge knockoff, it just had a single bucker in it. I've never owned a guitar with an SC in the bridge.
That said, I'd killllll for a Telecaster for certain things, and absolutely LOVE the new Fender HWY-1 Teles with the giant frets!

Re: The Well XLII - What have we gotten ourselves into...
Ok, then I'll definitely recommend you to try one out extensively. Get a good deal used and then explore it thouroughly. I play lots of metal, being finnish and all, and I love the monstrous tone my strat with a fender CS'54 pickup puts out. To me a single coil has clarity, cut, punch and aggresiveness all more than a humbucker, and they can sound very big and thick with a good amp.

Re: The Well XLII - What have we gotten ourselves into...
Ahh - that was in the 'teachers' portion of the office. I TA for two of my old teachers, so I get to grade scantrons and make overheads in there for them.
Sports: Aston Martin Vantage.
Economy: BMW 535i
Utility: I have no clue, really... some kind of tricked out pickup or something, I guess!

Re: The Well XLII - What have we gotten ourselves into...
I felt the same way for the longest time... And then I finally did buy one of the new HWY-1 Texas Tele
AND IT KILLS!!!!!!
You need one, man. Mine is so ridiculously bad-ass. Thin nitro finish on ash, 1-pc maple neck, hot and chunky single coils and vintage hardware... but it's got a 12" radius and jumbo frets! All the classic Telecaster sound but it almost plays like a shred stick. It still fights you a bit but with that flat board and huge frets you can play legato all over it and bend like a maniac.
I flipped the control plate, put a 5-way switch in, and put a Barden bridge on mine and the thing just slays. It's the best-sounding guitar I own.

Re: The Well XLII - What have we gotten ourselves into...
It wasn't that bad, in all honesty, and despite my untrained (at the time) ears and inexperience with recording a full band from start to finish, I think it came out pretty **** well!
Things I would've changed would be some real preproduction to hammer things out in advance, built templates for songs and do things 'properly.' I also would've liked to record drums in a real-ish studio, or at least with some better mics!
My current software/plugins/computer would've been nice, too... no technical difficulties that we had (although we didn't have all that many, IIRC)
Now... how was your experience, looking back? Be honest! I need to know what to change when I approach recording other bands. I have a feeling I was probably too metal-oriented with my approach in a lot of things.
