I never understood the Down hype

So ive just got me a Jackson JS32 that im planning on using for my sludge/hardcore band. Im usually familiar with my LTD EC - EMG and this Jackson with humbucker pick ups does sound very different (playing in standard B)

The Jackson right now is equipped with stock pick ups and im planning in changing them but im curious. How do yall get your tones?

This Jackson does feel that it has more grit and dirt in it from the humbuckers but id like it to be a lil bit tighter. Are there guitar models not built for this genre?

Whats your opinion?

Everybody knows this, you read it on wikipedia, you hear it in podcasts but it truly hits you when u REALLY understand the influence.

Learning and playing sludge and stoner rock, deepened my liking for blues music and really got me into Black Sabbath (a band i didnt get till now as a 29 yo man)

But more than that made me understand how big the guitar work of Robert Johnson, Skip James and others helped create rock and metal music. From Led Zeppelin to Cream to Black Sabbath to Corrosion of Conformity to Entombed. The blues lick are all there, the scales but with thick Black Sabbath distorted tones, either its a fuzzy tone or an HM2 tone, all of them are linked in unique ways.

Music is amazing, keeps me going

(Just wanted tot share this with someone who understands)

I love sludge metal and blues and im looking for something new age that would combine blues guitar and sludge/doom but not as in an influence, but a whole mix of blues acoustic guitar and heavy distorted sludge noise/guitars.

Selling one ticket for the show on 11, acquired thru Dice app. I wont be attending as im from East-EU and my schedule got way to crowded for this quick trip, just got back from OB lmao.

DM if interested!

Cheers

Hello, coming from romania, not really familiar with this town and staying for long. I came for todays EHG show and i was looking for a few fellow EHG friends to help me with some 4:20.

Lmk if u down

Im seeing EHG tomorrow in Budapest, thinking thats its one of the last shows from the tour, i think theyll be kinda short on merch maybe…

Is anyone seeing them in Vienna today and could send a few pictures?

Thanks

This was my 3rd year coming for the fest, attended and attending other Outbreak events also. Till this edition never had a problem with the queues or with the massive load of people but this year was different. The fact that you would wait nearly half an hour to get 2 sticks of meat with a pinch of fries for 10£ and can’t attend a show at the second stage because you didn’t secure your place with half an hour earlier (i tried gettin a place for Hatebreed with 20 minutes before they started and it was packed) is crazy. From the moment tickets sold more than the previous years this problem could’ve been anticipated, its quite a bummer to know that you could have seen the band you wanted if the attendance was better managed.

I love the fact that hardcore/alternative music is getting so big right now but this seems like a moment where the organization should take a decision in hosting it in a bigger venue and compromising the concept a bit (nothing wrong with that necessarily) or to try to keep the experience a bit more exclusive.

Honestly getting food was such a hassle that I preferred not eating and that says a lot (about me, or about the event idk..)

Appreciate the work and dedication of the Outbreak team but this years edition was not that enjoyable.

Something in the vein of Scalp/Nails but more punk-ish. Like the sludge guitar tone is there but you got 2step drum parts and hc mosh parts at a faster pace than typical sludge.
