Slash GC demo w/ VM.

[slowpokerhino]

Not very impressive, but I know there are quite a few Slash fans here so..

He seemed very uncomfortable to me. And what the heck with his LP going out of whack every couple of seconds

[Slashwannabe1]

He didn't have a pick for the first part of the video and that interviewer seemed to nag a bit, plus he seemed very nervious on top of all that. Not the best showing of what Slash and a VM can do of course!.

A couple of the Sweet Child O Mine Runs were cool.

One interesting thing about this video is that it captures a bit of the sizzliness the VM has when its volume is set too low. Part of this could also be due to the speakers not being broken in. Working properly, it should sound a bit smoother than that.

the best part was at 7.00!! IMO!!! some nice blues there!!

I think its deffinitly the speakers not being broken in.

I first connected my VM 2466 to my Fender Bandmaster 2x12 cab with Jensen C-12 50 watt each speakers and that cab is going 43 years old so lots of break in time on the speakers and there is none of the sizzle sound anywhere.

On my new cab I bought with brand spanking new Jensen Mod 12-50s they sounded boarderline horrible on any amp I tried them on complete with the dreaded sizzle and everything and were way too bright on until I decided to play the crap out of them on my VM at full volume (hoping they would blow up) and they finally broke in and now they sound absolutly stunning! It happened so fast that one day i fired up the amp and the low volume and high volume tone I always wanted was sitting there in front of me, I was finally playing with a whole deck of cards.

The fact of the matter is you will never break them in, in a timely manner unless you blast that amplifier consistantly at 8-9 on the master volume for an hour everyday for a week. I'm sure over time something like 4-6 on the Master Volume might eventually break in the speakers but not as fast as 9 on the MV did.

I now possess a sizzle free Rig, and none of it was ever the VM's fault.

Thats practically the biggest Rock Ballad ever. I think you are the one who is high.

You only wish you could make as much money in your life time as Slash makes off of Sweet Child O Mine Royalty's in any given hour of sales on a daily basis 22 years after that single was released. Obviously Sweet Child O Mine wasn't too bad for you to watch Slash play it.

Keep your snotty opinions to yourself.

Not a fan of it at all, Sweet Child consistantly ranks a few spots above it in most polls and sales lists. While I do think Jimmy Page is very talented, Stairway wasn't exactly the best vehicle to show his extreme talent, even though for some it may be "the" song to show your friends who never heard of Led Zep. Its also illegal to play that song in any music store in the World, just ask the owner of the store you frequent .

haha true
or bohemian rhapsody??

stairway may not be the best way to illustrate page's talent (altho that solo...come on! def one of the greatest rock songs ever!!!) neither is Sweet child of mine the best way to show slash's talents. i do love that song but only listen to it sparingly as i dont wanna over listen to it! cos it is one of those songs that mite get annoyin if listened too much! slash wasn even into that song for a long time n said he only really got into it when he realised it was gettin too big to ignore.

and if any1s interested (prob not! )....just for the laugh i googled Top rock songs ever, 10 greatest rock songs n that type of thing. looked at about 10 dif lists and not once was sweet child of mine higher than stairway. wasn even close to it!! stairway was No.1 for half of em or else 2nd 3rd or 4rth. SCOM was usually further down than that and not even in a few of em.

I'm sure you could find a list with any song at #1 for whatever reason. Guitar World ranked Sweet Child O Mine as the greatest Riff ever :) Guitar Player mag for Guitar players.

Ya well lets quote of the a song ten times better then sweet child of crap " we both no money burns" cuz he can make all the money in the world and my opinion of the song aint gonna change. Dude i bought his siganture epi i like the fucker, the fact is the song for me sucks pure and simple. I gave his ass money on that one. The simple fact is i like tha band for the raunchy hard edged shit they produced not some fukin list aprroved top ten ballad that the masses will comsume like toilet paper and move on the the next. So my asshole like my opinoin will spit out waht it needs to. ROCK AND FUKIN ROLL!!!!!
