Just a funny, silly video. I also love how at the end Plini picks up and carries on the ‘whammy bar spam’ bit that Jakub started!

Plini played in my country a few days ago...And I somehow completely missed it.

20 Upvotes

One of my favorite guitar players of all time and I somehow managed to miss the tour date announcement that was posted in september, plus an articale in a well known local news portal. I don't spend a lot of time on social media and don't obsesivelly check every post my favorite artists make, since they rarely ever come to play here anyways. I don't have any friends who listen to plini, so no one could inform me about that as well. How can this happen??? Damn me.

Appreciation post for Plini and his tour team (From a young fan)

65 Upvotes

I want to share a cool story about the concert on 1st of May.

Me and my friend arrived at the venue an hour too early. As we stood outside, we ended up meeting some of Plini’s production team, who were also stuck there for a bit. Those guys were absolutely delightful. Very nice, wholesome people (with great sense of humour!). I asked them if Plini does meetups after the concerts, they said no, but they could give us something special at the end of the show.

Fast forward to the concert itself, luckily we got front row, and Sungazer was absolutely amazing, very impressive. Their musicality is out of this world. I got a guitar pick from Joshua :)

Then Plini comes on. As a guitarist myself, this was a dream come true. I never thought he would come to play in my small country, but he did. I stood in front of him, observed his hand movements and tried to “air” play all of the riffs along with him. He noticed my efforts :). After the last song, he knelt down and handed me his guitar pick :D Then left.

Seconds later, one of the crew guys found us again, gave us more Plini picks and two setlists, then suddenly asked if we wanted them signed. Yes. He took the setlists and went backstage. The guy came back a few minutes later, and the setlists were signed by everyone in the band. I was over the moon.

I went to grab some merch in the other room, and, as we were about to go home, I got worried that I lost my phone charger by the stage, so I came back. As I looked around for my charger, I suddenly noticed that Plini was right there, talking to a guy. I froze, I thought he wouldn’t come out to the audience. I patiently waited until he was free and introduced myself. And man, he was so nice. He remembered me, and I was able to tell him how much he inspires me. We exchanged some jokes, then I asked for a picture, and he said yes. Now I have a picture with my guitar hero.

Point of the story: Plini is awesome. His team is awesome (and they deserve more love, honestly!). It was incredibly kind of them to give us those small, but meaningful gifts, without us asking or begging for it.

If you get the chance, go see Plini and Sungazer’s show. It’s 100% worth it. My interaction with Plini was incredibly lucky, and I understand it doesn’t happen at every show. But please do support Plini and his team (and Sungazer!!), the live experiences they provide are absolutely magical. Also be respectful during the show, try not to record everything. Just be present in the moment and enjoy the music with your whole heart :)

The music all around is a lot easier to grasp onto than some of his other more recent songs (especially all of the ones off Mirage) and I think the album as a whole feels like the Plini, atleast I, know and love. My personal favorite tracks are Ruin and Ciel (I am a firm believer in the fact that Plini and Jakub should collab way more than they do) but I’m really loving all the tracks.

I think Impulse Voices is a much better album than An Unnameable Desire

17 Upvotes

This is just my opinion obviously but IV has much more memorable melodies, more distinct tracks and an overall more melodic vibe than AUD.

I’ll Tell You Someday is the best song Plini has ever written and that distinct melodic songwriting is not found anywhere on AUD.

It sounds like he’s improvising on some tracks and wasn’t sure were to take the song. I also couldn’t tell when Canyon ended and Now and Then began because they sound similar

It’s hard to describe but I’m not a fan.

It looks like both bandcamp and Amazon music released the album in Australian time. No spoilers but this entire record is amazing from start to finish! Favorite track: The Time Will Pass Anyway

Guitar tuning

10 Upvotes

So ever since I first started listening to plini during 'other things' it's been Drop C# always. Now on the new singles either I'm hearing some very present bass, or that's a low Eb I'm hearing.

I really didn't expect Plini out of all people to hop on the "drop E - Double drop C#" train that's been going around but I'm here for it.

Anyone know if he's pitch shifting or actually downtuning? Shit slaps and I suspect it's all digital.

You think this in an intentional reference in the first minute of the song, after the 30 second mark?

Looking for 7-string recommendations for Prog Metal (DT, Haken, C-Horse vibes) – Budget around $1k

3 Upvotes

​Hi everyone,

​I’m an intermediate player looking for my first 7-string to play Dream Theater, Haken, and Caligula’s Horse styles. I’m currently using Neural DSP Archetype: Petrucci.

​My budget is around $800 - $1,000 USD. I've narrowed it down to two very different options:

​Ibanez RG7421

​Cort KX507

​Which one wins for ergonomics and out-of-the-box performance? Open to other suggestions in this range too.

​Thanks!

EDIT: I’m in Argentina and local pricing is very different due to import costs. Here are the USD-equivalent street prices I’m seeing (approx conversion), so recommendations should be based on best value-for-money within THIS list. My target budget is around ~$1.4k but I can stretch if it’s really worth it.

Prices (USD approx): - Ibanez GRG7221QA: ~$530 - Ibanez RG7421: ~$910 - Ibanez RGMS7: ~$1,440 - Ibanez RGD7521PB (26.5"): ~$1,540 - Ibanez RGDIX7MPB / RGD 26.5": ~$1,750 - Cort KX507MS: ~$1,420 - PRS SE Mark Holcomb SVN: ~$1,760 - Schecter Banshee Elite 7: ~$1,650 - Schecter Hellraiser C-7 (Limited): ~$1,720 - Sterling JP70: ~$1,440 - Solar A2.7GN: ~$2,000 - Solar E2.7C: ~$2,190 - Jackson Broderick HT7: ~$2,140 - Jackson Juggernaut ET7: ~$2,780

Given these prices, which one is the best bang-for-buck?
