Orange Micro Terror Stack MT20 & PPC108

Orange Micro Terror Stack MT20 & PPC108 is coming from Amazon.com to our office this Sunday. We originally were going to get just the Orange Amplifiers PPC108 1×8 20W Speaker Cabinet to use with the JOYO banTamP ZOMBIE Mini Tube Head. We figured out, why not get the Orange Micro Terror Stack MT20 too.

We love the JOYO banTamP ZOMBIE Mini Tube Head as it was able to power a 2×12 Cabinet, albeit not to its full potential. That’s why we decided to get a 1×8 20W Cabinet, in case we’re going into the hobby/business in reviewing guitar accessories.

Can’t wait for Sunday to come.

The Astonishing NOMAC

The Astonishing NOMAC

I pre-ordered Dream Theater “The Astonishing” Box Set Bundle back in January 2016. The Box Set Bundle includes:

  • The Astonishing Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set
  • The Astonishing 2CD Set
  • The Astonishing Digital Album
  • The Astonishing Digital FLAC Album
  • The Astonishing Gift
  • The Gift of Music Digital Single

Throughtout the year, Roadrunner Records shipped parts of the Box Set Bundle while the Deluxe Box Set was delyaed numerous times.

I finally received The Astonishing Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set on August 3, 2016. It is a nice collectible for Dream Theater Fans and  Collectors.

Metallica: Silver goes the Black Album

Metallica Black Album CD

Metallica released its biggest selling album on August 12, 1991; that’s twenty-five years ago to the date. Metallica’s self-titled album, spawned five singles:

  1. “Enter Sandman”
  2. “The Unforgiven”
  3. “Nothing Else Matters”
  4. “Wherever I May Roam”
  5. “Sad But True”

“The Black Album” as it is commonly referred to, went on to sell more than 16 million copies as of August, 2015 in the United States alone. Per Wikipedia article, It has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. In February, 2016 “The Black Album” was selling about 5,000 units per week; better than many newly released records that month.

“The Black Album” was the record that helped Metallica break into the mainstream music scene.

On May 7, 2012 Metallica performed “The Black Album” in its entirety from the last song to the first in Prague, Czech Republic.

I still play songs from the record to this day as it is one of my all time favorite along with the first four Metallica records.
