i'm not sure how you can say that you have the heaviest tone

each person's definition of heavy is different and what might be balls to the walls heavy to you could be a big pile of muddy **** to me

so tits, take it easy with the attitude
no one said anything about being rich and having your parents buying you gear

enjoy the fruits of your labour, enjoy the tone, write good music that you like and enjoy it

And your point is......?

[Zangief]

i didn't have a point, i was making a thoughtful reply to someone who was posting a bunch of **** with a lot of attitude

i didn't make some stupid reply that doesn't mean much. you can go **** yourself.

[nobody]

I wasn't replying to you. I was replying to the thread starter.

I edited my post to reflect that.

Everyone does have a different definition of "heavy."

here's my personal "heavy" story...

One evening Iwas sitting in pizza joint here in chicago. The pizza crew behind the counter were playing a mix cd of "heavy" bands like Slayer, Pantera, Anthrax, old Metallica and a ton of obscure death metal stuff. After 10 or so songs, the radio was switched on and the first song that was playing was the Kinks "You Really Got Me Now"...

That Kink's song and Dave Davie's guitar tone absolutely CRUSHED all these newer "heavy" bands in terms of riffage, raw tone and pure attitude. It was HEAVY and it blew me away! Dave's guitar was so savage, open and valvey compared to the dense mid-range focus of all the "Heavy" bands. The overall production even sounded "heavier."

here's Dave Davies rig for reference and guidance:

and Dave's quote:
"EVERYONE THINKS YOU NEED A HUGE WALL OF MARSHALL STACKS TO GET GREAT TONE. THAT'S NOT TONE... THAT'S JUST LOUD!" - DAVE DAVIES

Guitargeek,

This is true. Some of the heavist tones I've heard have come from guys like Duane Eddy, or **** Dale...hell, even SRV had heavier tone than the nu-heavy bands.

[guitargeek]

add link wray to that nice list...

[nobody]

Link Wray! How could I forget?!?!

That guy has some grinding tone. And he doesn't use high-end anything.

[Greyskull]

Rumble rocks for a 50's thing.
Raw.

[guitargeek]

i never thought i'd say this but even foreigner sound heavier to me than a lot of "heavy" bands on the radio today. proof that heavy riffs make you heavy...

hot blooded check it and see!

George Thorogood was "bad to the bone"....

he's got a point. any human being who can use a boogie road king, that is a serious weapon.

In my opinion, provided you can move a serious amount of air, then blam! you've got it.

I use a really small head-a Sonus Black Badge 50w 1x10" and matching 1x12" cabinet(sometimes stereod through a Marshall 4x12")and I can shake pictures off walls with it.

But it doesn't matter-SRV had a really heavy tone, as was mentioned before, but there's a band called Breach and they have a skull crackingly heavy tone-on the clean parts!

If you want to hear some ass collapsingly heavy stuff check out the solo album by the singer from neurosis-it's all acoustic but it's oppressively heavy.

it's all about context as well-check out Sunn0)))'s flight of the behemoth or the telestic disfracture by 5ive-sheer crushingness through building up layer upon layer of metallic fury. there's only two of them as well!

check out the discordance axis as well.

the road king is nice, but I think I got your milk. I got a 2 chn. dual rec (they sound so much better than the new ones) slaved into a marshall jcm 800 2205, each pushing a mesa 4x12. samson airline wireless, PRS custom 22, all monster cables, and my heads and wireless are all mounted in a custom built rack. All I gotta do at the show is plug in one main power, run the speaker cables, and turn on. I can blend the volumes from the two amps to get a perfect tone, and I switch from clean to dirty using the dials on my prs. My backup axe is either a EMG-81 loaded Jackson Rhoads, or a EMG-81 loaded 80's warlock.

[nobody]

I had a really heavy rig at one time.

Fender Super Twin Reverb: 95 lbs.
Fender Quad Reverb: 90 lbs.
SKB 12U rack: half loaded - approx. 40 lbs.

Total: pain in the ass

[Matt "Loaf"]

I got you beat...

74' Ampeg SVT 300w head
95lbs.
00' Ampeg 8x10
160lbs.

thats enough bones right there... and it'll knock you right outta yer boots if your not glued to the floor.

[fiveways]

I carry about 80lbs of pedals....is that enough?

[Greyskull]

****in' bass rigs always weigh in over 1000lbs...what the **** !!!

As long as the bass goes "THUMP" & "BOOM" all is well.

[stratocaster83]

elvis' "jailhouse rock"? where would it be a band like ac/dc without such a song?!?

anyway, in my personal opinion, one of the proto hard rock albums of everytime is the jeff beck group "truth", who was made before cream & hendrix and a mounth before the first led zeppelin. the second album from beck, "beck-ola", was even more heavier!

what about the yardbirds "the train kept a rollin'"? I love that mega riff!!!

[Bad Johnny]

just cause you got a lot of expensive gear doesn't mean you got "HEAVY" tone. Like a lot of other people said, "HEAVY" can mean different things. NIN's "Hurt" is one of the heaviest songs ever, IMO. Also, letting Jennifer Lopez sit on your face and ripping a big fat one, that would be pretty heavy as well.

So please edit your post and say "I have a POS Ibanez and I like to play with lots of gain."
