ORIGINAL: la90066 (I used to practice 6-8 hours a day, play out, record, etc.) How's your hearing? Huh? What? Say again?!! [:D] ha ha ha!!! Seriously, even though I like metal/hard rock (though I've played everything from metal to top 40 to soft rock to southern rock to ballads), any serious musician learns early that you can't play on "10" (or "11" if you're in Spinal Tap [;)]) and learn anything. I listened to/learned off guys like Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmstein, Eric Johnson, Al Dimeola, etc. -- you just can't pick off what those guys are doing while playing at full volume. Even when playing clubs and larger venues, the amps are always mic'd and you use the monitors to hear yourself. That's the cleanest way to play. The only guys that played on "10" were the dudes that had to run their amps that hot in order to get them to distort.
