+1 No need to say it, but of course HELL would be very welcome around here. Kev, please have a look at this: http://heavymtl.com/en/

I wanna bite the inner side of the upper wing of that body... and I'm actually willing to do that to any good looking guitar and even sign "Bitten by Zorrow" on the back. Wanna send it to me? Seriously now, it is gorgeous, though I might prefer the black pickguard. Good luck with the sale!

I've played a couple, including a vintage V220, a custom-made bass and a custom-made DC-something. IMHO, those are great player instruments. They are really well crafted and offer a good quality/price ratio. Some even dare to say their necks are the best on the market, and while I'm not enough experienced to evaluate them fairly, I do think they feel and play awesomely. PS: Considering buying one? A colleague had one green DC some months ago FS. Great guitar, in mint condition (I tried it myself). I can ask him if it's still available.

Well guys, I think their DVD comes out in October, so we'll have a hard copy of a HELL show, as a consolation prize. As of local promoters go, I'm sure they can cause some serious interest on the Heavy MTL site, but a North American tour would be far better, of course. Maybe HELL opening for King Diamond would be doable... or as "special guest" of them, to have at least 45 minutes on stage before King Diamond. But well, that takes a King Diamond NA tour as well.

I guess it's over now. The setlist was only 30 minutes, I guess. Next is Katlaklysm.

BTW, the camerawork is amazing. What a shame the sound is still off.

Now it's Kev playing keyboards... without sound my side. Cool stuff, as I can imagine he's playing whatever I want. --just trying to remain positive.

Now the sound is off, in the middle of "On Earth as It Is in Hell". Just hope it's because they're fixing the buzz.

The fireworks are awesome. HELL do have a sense of what a show should be. What a frontmand BTW! Now it's one of my preferred songs playing, but the buzz goes on.

Oh shit. Noise on the line! Hope they'll fix it. Still seeing the video, but something's screwed. Terrible buzz, yes.

YESSSS!!!! They're there!

Well, right now I'm getting some sound and I hear guitars and drums on the backgroud. It looks like they're playing some stuff for the public while the bands plug their stuff in. Hey! I think I just heard the voice of Hell's singer!

I'm waiting. I did get a band named Beholder around 7:30 am here. I watched them for about 20 minutes and then went away. Now I'm back in front of my computer.

Hell yeah! I'll be there online, pal. Rock it!

Just checked on the Schiffer site and my order is "Pending". I placed it on 06/13/2013. Just sent them an email to see if this moves. I can't wait!

I f#$%* loved it. Thanks for sharing! However, I still know there are differences between rosewood and maple. Just think about a rosewood fretboard on a maple neck as having a "rosewood top" on the neck. It does soften the tone -just a bit, but enough to colour the sound differently. My friend has two Strats with everything identical but the fretboards, and they do sound distinct, although it's more noticeable when plugged. I suppose it's because the amp and the effects react differently to distinct overtones. In spite of that, I did enjoy the video. That guy is funny as hell.

Welcome around. And really great-looking guitar. Cheers!

I would recommend you this: http://www.amazon.ca/Pulse-The-Planet-Slim-Williams/dp/B0011JYPVY I listen to it when I feel like dancing, or when I want to play the funky beat on the steering wheel of my car -so I guess that could make you feel happier. But in my own case, it's metal what gets me out from a sad mood. I specially like "Nightfall In The Middle Earth", from Blind Guardian. It's not a happy album, but it grabs my attention so much that I forget about everything else when I listen to it. Another album that gets me particularly happy is Mercyful Fate's "9". It somehow triggers my wild side. It's like getting high, but using no substance at all. I just sing and bang my head to it and it makes me feel like I am the king of the world. It's however a bit too Satanic for most, I think. Also, something like Malmsteen's "Trilogy" always improves my mood. I like all the songs and all the solos there, and it's also part of my personal history, as well as my brother's. I feel a positive nostalgy when I listen to it. But that's perhaps too dependant on how this album is related to my own case. Finally, Helloween three first albums are a total blast, always. Definitively recommended!

You guys are getting me anxious. I pre-prdered long ago, but so far no notification whatsoever. Can't wait!

Well, these pictures are related to this thread because they are about the BBQ sauce that Gorch's wife prepared. This is me with the little jar, just about to "kill" it: Now, about to give those steaks some special treatment: Treatment applied -some extra layers did follow, but there's no point in picturing those ones: You can tell by our faces it tastes REALLY good: This is the final picture, look what's left: Thaks again, gorch. Please tell your wife we LOVED her BBQ sauce.

You've just been served, right? Now a full review is due, but I will still say "IT'S ALIVE, BABY!"

Because Beethoven wrote great music. ...and because the guy does interpret it really well. We all stumble upon shredders all the time on the net, but this Dr. Viossy guy really nailed it on this one. That's why I thought I'd share it here. This performance goes well above your average highly-technical-but-boring YouTube shred -or so I think.

I'm not too much into shredding "per-se", but I did find this performance awesome:

One from Malmsteen -the entry keyboard-oriented riff is a classic: PS: And the solos too, no BS!
