Amazing guitar talent and vocal talent. So glad somebody here clued me in because I didn't know anything about Ian until last year
Yes, when I moved the forum to https I also started proxying images in our memcached setup.EDIT 2 - I was surprised to see my BW photos above on my work computer, since my office network has blocked Imgur along with Netflix, Soundcloud and all the other good stuff. Looking closer, it seems this forum is now doing a new trick (proxy.php?) I like it!
I kind of get the low attendance now -- TPatG didn't chart well. It was, speaking as a fan here, not a radio-friendly album...it didn't have the indie rock sound to it that ILMO had. And then they went away for a decade. That kind of disappearance is hard to recover from. Even Thornley (the band) wasn't the same sound as Big Wreck, so hard to call it a continuation.Their debut album was 20 years ago and produced three huge hit singles in Canada. Constant rotation on rock radio at the time, and still regularly on classic rock radio. I'm not aware how big it was elsewhere, but it seems clear that none of their subsequent albums went that big. Even still, it seems crazy these guys are touring to crowds well under 1k in clubs.
I don't know about amps, but if anyone has compressor settings recommendations for his compressed tones I'm all ears. He gets stunning, heavily compressed slide tones.Ok... so as this is an Axe FX forum... what amps would you go to for Ian's core tone? He's playing a PT100 and a Hedgehog live... neither is modeled here. Anyone chased this tone?
