Line 6 Helix Stadium

[Frodebro]

I thought it was mentioned in a recent video that the Stadium didn’t really sound like Line 6 tones they were accustomed to.

Or am I misremembering and it referred to feel?

I still stand by what I said, because my confidence in Line 6 amp modeling is solid. I know it won’t sound like Helix or Fractal, but I also know it’s going to be at least as good as what they’ve already done. Like @Digital Igloo said, not better or worse but different

I can’t disagree with this.

Oh, YouTube.

Haaahaaa! He totally deleted a bunch of my posts on that video. And I was WAY more polite than you'd expect me to be.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar

I saw Cake at an outdoor venue in Nashville this spring. I’m not a superfan or anything but they put on a good show and we had fun.

Played Short Skirt / Long Jacket in a cover band on bass and that was one of my favorites in the set.

Im no Cake super fan either but they have always been great. A truly unique band with their own sound. Many bands you can kinda say they’re trying to sound like or are clearly influenced by X band. But Cake are really their own thing.

I absolutely love cake but the only time I saw them live we walked out. Idk if that’s supposed to be the singers schtick or if he was having some sort of episode but it was absolutely terrible vibes from him and his ranting and raving between songs


A lot of the hippie jamband folks I know turned on cake too after some meltdown he had on stage at All Good festival some years back as well


Real shame as I have consistently loved their music from childhood to now. I don’t think I’d spend money on another cake ticket though

 

[spawnofthesith]

I will absolutely continue to be “going the distance” and rocking out to their albums tho

In today's world, where artists rely on touring and merch sales to make a living, it's generally not a good idea to turn your audience off with rants and meltdowns. There are some big names that still do it, but everybody knows who they are and what to expect. Plus, they made their fortunes before the industry crashed so they don't have the same financial needs as the younger acts.

Ah did not know that was them I always thought their stuff was very Beck inspired it was kind of that abstract spoken word alternative

And just to clarify, it wasn’t political or anything in this case… just very very weird (in a bad way) and supremely negative energy

Ha have never made that comparison before but totally see that now that you mention

 

[Mikael Dez]

Pretty nasty video for sure.

I thought it was nice

Man I was in Oklahoma for work a couple weeks ago and at a bar and totally not fitting in with the overall vibe… I saw a guy with a primus shirt and was thrilled, I tossed out a “primus sucks” and he just glared at me and kept walking

That is a shame - he was chill and comical for the show I went to, thank goodness. I have low tolerance for lead singers going on rants, too.

That’s encouraging to hear… Maybe will give them another shot!!

Should have shouted "poser!" as he walked away.

He obviously wasn't a real Primus fan.

I was certainly thinking that

It doesn't matter what the topic of the rant is, younger bands have to maintain a higher performance/entertainment standard than the drugged-out freak shows of the seventies and eighties because they don't have album royalties as their primary source of income. That's one situation where "Kids These Days" have it much tougher than the older generations did.
