Guitarists...
I'm after some headphones that I can plug into my amp; I'm beginning to feel a bit guilty about forcing the neighbours to listen to me making a guitar-shaped din.

Any recommendations?

I'm sure I could if I wanted.
Problem is, I don't much want.

I think you'll find


may not be fucking hate that song

Hugely smug anecdote alert: I remember being at a party in my uni days. the cellar of this house had a full band setup in it, drums, bass, guitars etc.

some drunk idiots were trying to torture guitars with oasis songs and occasionally pleading for someone to take a guitar and play some oasis, but without giving up the guitars.

I eventually got hold of one, and they were all like "can you play some oasis?"

I busted out the turnaround in the middle of Calling Elvis by Dire Straits, and said "I can, but I'm not fucking going to"

a few of us then played a 15 minute AC/DC medley, not even stopping when someone knocked out the light bulb leaving us in pitch darkness for a few minutes.

A little bit, actually
I still consider myself a beginner, but I shit all over any sound Oasis have ever made
( Monkeysex You can't box zombies, you fool, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 15:31, Reply)

HELL YEAH!
people who only play stuff like oasis belong in the same group of people who repeatedly play today by the smashing pumnpkins

and that group deserve to be dead.

I mostly play Levellers type stuff
Grunge or Punk.

Mostly.

Can you play that song by A? "6 o'clock on a tube stop" ?

( Dance, Gonz, where ever you may be, for you are the lord of the dance settee. Disclaimer: I'm joking, soz for potential offence., Thu 5 Nov 2009, 15:49, Reply)

nope
haven't heard A since I saw them live many many many years ago. what happened to them?
( Festivipros you caught my nose in your left castanet, love, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 15:50, Reply)

They finally got to B

( Monkeysex You can't box zombies, you fool, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 15:51, Reply)

Not sure.
Can you play that Semisonic song about a bar that shuts and everyone has to leave, I think it's called "Closing Time" ?
( Dance, Gonz, where ever you may be, for you are the lord of the dance settee. Disclaimer: I'm joking, soz for potential offence., Thu 5 Nov 2009, 15:52, Reply)

I have been able to play that song at one point
not any more though. I could probably play it again if I heard it.
( Festivipros you caught my nose in your left castanet, love, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 15:56, Reply)

Get going then !
Then teach me.

Can you play that Lisa Loeb song "stay (I missed you)" ?
( Dance, Gonz, where ever you may be, for you are the lord of the dance settee. Disclaimer: I'm joking, soz for potential offence., Thu 5 Nov 2009, 15:56, Reply)

alright
I don't know it I'm afraid. I'm not sure I've ever heard her music.

I'm not "down" with popular music
( Festivipros you caught my nose in your left castanet, love, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 15:59, Reply)

She had a hit single in the 90s and that's it.
But her 'greatest hits' type album is quite good.

the name rings a bell at least
I may have heard the song

my repertoire tends to be along the blues/rock/metal/theme tunes lines
( Festivipros you caught my nose in your left castanet, love, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 16:02, Reply)

I think she would be classed as 'indi'.
I love soft chick rock.

Can you play that Speedway song "Thinking about you lately" ?
( Dance, Gonz, where ever you may be, for you are the lord of the dance settee. Disclaimer: I'm joking, soz for potential offence., Thu 5 Nov 2009, 16:04, Reply)

not familiar with that one either
I've had this problem for some time. I don't know a lot of songs that people ask for, so they assume I'm shit.

Doesn't bother me so much anymore, but it used to
( Festivipros you caught my nose in your left castanet, love, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 16:07, Reply)

My knowledge of music artists isn't great eaither.
I know what I like, and I listen to that, and sometimes something new comes along, but I'm talking about in general.

I don't really listen to music radio so I'm not really up to date on things.

same here
if I listen to the radio then it's planet rock. otherwise I listen to all sorts of stuff

I used to like them.

But not to like them enough to own any of their records, or to remember how they sounded.

Only less so
( Monkeysex You can't box zombies, you fool, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 16:00, Reply)

Everythin outside of their album "The strings" is shit.
Offspring are my favorite heavy metal band.

You can buy a little mini-amp thing that clips on to your belt then you plug your headphones into that.

They used to be supplied with Encore electric guitars many years ago.

JHS Rock box as I recalll

(bane, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 23:24, Reply)

I have a large pair of Sennheiser open back ones
that I use with my large guitar amp. the tone isn't great in comparison to the speaker itself, but it is sufficient. You need to be careful not to deafen yourself though

Gracias.
What does the open/ closed detail mean?
( Enzyme is in ur [noun]z, [verb]in' ur [noun]z, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 15:14, Reply)

I have these
www.sennheiser.co.uk/uk/home_en.nsf/root/private_headphones_wired-headphones_500157

closed means you can't hear stuff from the outside, so DJs would want closed ones. sound projects more from open backed as well. I prefer the sound of them for enjoying music

I use these:

But that's because I used to be a semi pro DJ. They're fucking great, but they're also very expensive.

Do what I do....
Be retro and get some DT 100s

Major plus point being, that when the cable/ear pads/jack/etc etc break, you can get all the spare bits, and won't have to fork out for a new pair.
