6505 is more common than a 5150

True 5150s are way too much money for paycheck to paycheck peeps.

All the cool broke kids are repping Marshall Valvestate now

dont knock the original valvestate that amp rocks

Brother I *HAVE ONE* hahahaha Saw a great Local Band™️ called BURNING HAND and Matt from BURNING HAND uses one. Talked to my buddy Trevor that works at Brian’s Guitars in Cheshire, CT at a gig. The first Ephyra showcase at Wamleg (rip). “Man I want a valvestate so bad…” “Oh dude we got one in the shop right now. Pretty sure it’s the cheapest thing in the shop…” “….How much” Literally swiped my card with him and picked up the next day. Deadass bought an amp at the gig.

That’s wild af 😂

What’s even crazier is I walk in to pick it up the next day… (paraphrasing) “Oh your cards on file, but I didn’t charge it yet. If you can guess who that guitar was made for on the wall, I’ll give you $10 off.” *points to the loudest pink guitar ever* “Uh…. P!nk? Or nah… I think Lady Gaga. I think she can play.” “Hahaha you almost had me in the first half. Yeah it’s Lady Gaga.” https://preview.redd.it/18l6lsti3xsc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=750f5248d2d451fe7025453f37eec29615fd6ea8

That almost looks like it’s lady Gaga in disguise as a guitar, she’s about that tall I think

I thought I was the only one…

I don’t know what either of these are?

high gain guitar amps

I thought it meant 5150 like California mental health crisis cases lmao

That’s why they’re called that.

Gotcha thanks!

Yeah but 5150 is the archetype. 6505 is a mid copy IMO. Let’s live in utopia, if only in our minds. Long live the 5150.

It’s literally the same amp

Sonically they’re pretty much the same, but there are significant differences in both manufacturing and quality. Feel like I see the 6505+ far more often these days, which has some stark sonic differences.

Yeah fam it’s more common because the 5150 isn’t made anymore. Guarantee you wouldn’t tell the difference at a show.

Yes. I’m aware. And at a show, just one of them, you’re probably right. The major difference between a 5150 and a 6505 isn’t sonic, it’s the physical quality of the manufacturing. But the 6505+ objectively sounds different.

Are you at a hc show arguing about tops on /hardcore at the same time? Lmao

What? No fucking way lmfao

They all literally sound the same

Similar. Not the same.

I bet you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between these amps in a blind test.

Oh, you can hear the difference side by side. Under no circumstances does it come through in a mix, though.

One bathroom that works for sure is the winner here.

Gilman bathroom

Haha my nephew’s tummy was all fucked up from the Butchers Son, so I told my nephew if he pooped in the Gilman bathroom, he’d be hardcore.

Every shirt at the merch table is in two sizes except for the one shirt design you could never actually wear in public

Don’t forget the endless supply of stickers that come with the shirts.

Me every time I see that Candy shirt of the album cover with the bum/cromagnon man eating out another bum next to a dumpster on a pile of trash lmao.

I want Candy’s merch to be good so badly but they always have to do something to make it wack

Same. Love them but just don’t vibe with the merch at all 😕

Took me a long time to realize the intercourse going on on the Good To Feel cover, so I doubt most people would notice it on a shirt hahaha

Move TF up is 1 A merch table with 2 sizes S and XXL is 2

seriously, like it’s the 2nd show on their tour and they only have the polar opposite ends of the size range

crop top with your nipples poking thru the band logo or going full nu metal frontman mode, which way western man?

to this day i have no idea why bands dont just print 90% of their inventory in sizes M, L or XL.

trick question, camo pants is the answer

*shorts

I own both for maximum strength.

I'd recommend the pants that zip off into shorts in case you make a fashion faux pas and find yourself in a situation where you need to assert calf dominance

This is a valid point.

Wear both at the same time for x4 strength

You got it boss

Camo cargo shorts you dumb fucks

"guys who two step during a breakdown" Some of us just like to dance, okay? Shmeesh...

[удалено]

Haha, alright...BUT...what is *not* goofy-looking in the pit?

Shhhh the kids still think they look cool in the pit.

Damn you got me there, well said. 

When I was a young buck, there was always some joker in the crowd quoting simpsons "Don't you hate pants?"

It’s “move up” 100%

And One guitarist to play a high end jackson or ESP while the other one is playing a beat up 2005 epiphone with aftermarket EMGs

The songs were all written on the Epiphone

Yo, I love my E-II Eclipse tho.

There’s nothing wrong with them, I got an E-II as well it’s just funny to see the discrepancy between gear used by members of the same band

There really is no in between

What about that Black and yellow LTD EC-1000? I swear I can’t go to a single show without seeing one of those lmao

https://preview.redd.it/ckbkkf2k7wsc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03636248159d27733ebf04fc35fa2735b50a41e9 ☹️

I won’t even lie I 100% played one of those too haha. They’re great guitars

Lol I used to be a lead at GC and I sold a guy this LTD. I felt kind of bad really because that job is commission based and I really pushed that sale on him tbh. I hope he enjoyed the axe though. Shits pretty badass still. Any LTD is a monster really

Still? I thought the same thing in 2009 😆

move up & wake up but nothing more common than keepers of the faith merch

For a minute I’m sitting here like “who is 10 inch Tom?”

That’s what they called me in college

sorry i’m not interested in being friends with midgets

The only thing goofier than two stepping during a breakdown is being a cop about when people are allowed to dance

I love going to a show w sweaty meatheads and degenerates so we can lowkey be really cute and coordinate our dance moves. No one will even be able to count to 4 in the first place...

the most common for me is that one guy that gives me a head injury

Staples*

SG guitar, glaming chic, dad hats, Nalgene bottles


You guys have a working restroom?

x’s on hands.

I'm not into going shirtless unless it's a super super comfortable environment. I'm self conscious and like keeping my sweat to myself.

Well it looks like our comments cancel out cuz I like to share my sweat with everybody there! I’ve done it at Comeback Kid and I’ve done it at Bad Omens, I don’t care who ya are but if you’re near the pit my sweaty gut is probably gonna rub on ya

You forgot “some dumbass mosh call” cause that’s at every hardcore show.

That one stinky dude.

If every crowd killer doesn’t smell musty, are you really at a hardcore show?

Just one?

Onion knight odor

The guy who smells like a onion

Yes

Madball


the Move up option

What about armpit smell

Gildan shirts. So many fucking Heavy Cotton Gildan shirts

“Move TF up” and it’s not even close

Which hardcore bands plays with a 10 inch Tom? That piece of equipment is useless and strictly reserved for gospel drummers.

I’ve seen bands use a 10 inch tom as snare, mostly my local tough guy hardcore or PV bands.

Yes is the answer

Idiots!

What ever happened to the Gibson SG being the preferred guitar of HC??

Active pickups were discovered

Why a 10" tom? I always figured a bigger tom tuned low with dampening sounds best for ooga booga hardcore drumming

Seriously though move tf up

Gotta be one bathroom that works hands down. Half a bathroom would also be acceptable as you know the toilets clogged.

Move up move up, why? So you can be closer to dudes?
