Bladewillisisdead Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I'm sick of smoke variants. A lot of the time though with solid colors translucent does look a lot better. Yellow? The fuck outta here with that shit. Clear yellow? Hell yeah. Even if it looks kinda like piss. batnoises 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I don't really prefer one over the other aestheticly but translucent vinyl is more prone to skipping because it's softer. I dont think there's much of a sound difference though. The non-solicited super dumbed down version of vinyl quality: Black vinyl is the peak of sound quality. Years of research it really isn't debatable. Yes it is translucent in it's natural state but that doesn't mean it's fine tuned for audio playback. Working backwards from there white vinyl lacks carbon which is what makes black vinyl black. Colored vinyl is white vinyl + whatever dye. Translucent vinyl is the next step down lacking whatever makes it white. Below that it gets more experimental which is why you have massive quality dips for gitd and glitter vinyl. Any sort of splatter, marble, smash, etc makes it all a crapshoot Reshiram and batnoises 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsNJazz Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Side note, I'm seeing them tonight and I'm pretty stoked about it. Does anyone know if they have any merch on tour that isn't on their hellomerch site, and how much $ for a shirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the actual sound quality difference is moot it's just more prone to skipping. I feel like half the people here swear all white vinyl is garbage too which is funny. I just think it's usually boring. throwgncpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shirt I picked up at the show tonight was printed on Gildan, I only checked cause of your post lol the show was pretty awesome but Drab Majesty was probably the most boring band I have ever seen. But Deafheaven more than made up for it, shit was crazy.

Chrundle The Great Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 yeah this album is still getting better the more I listen to it. The second half of Glint from about 6:25 on is some of the best stuff I've heard in a while.... and then night people starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why bands don't use American Apparel or similar shirts anymore. I've got some Russian Circles tees that are almost ten years old that still feel amazing while some other tees I've gotten in the past couple of years have all kinds of issues and feel like they're made out of paper towels. Rosetta was selling tees for $15 and deafheaven was selling theirs for $25 this year, I feel like if they want $20+ they should be better quality.

George hair flipping and dancing in kind of bizarre. The 2 times I saw them before at marquis were way better than last night. Uniform was awesome though. I was surprised at amount of people that dont wear earplugs. I was dumb when I was younger but for last 5 years I haven't attended anything without them. At over 1k shows and 38 years old, totally worth it these days. I use earrasers vs some foam stuff alot of people use. Never caused and issue and muffling is very minimal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I thought it was general knowledge that Gildan shirts are nowhere near as comfy as classic American Apparel, before they were bought out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I find Gildan heavy cotton to be the most comfortable. I don’t like the incredibly thin extra-super-extremely soft cotton tees very much. I think Blade and I are the only people who think this way. Bladew1ll1s1sdead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiscodeman Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'm all about Next Level. It's similar quality to what I remember AA being (haven't bought any AA shirts in years). You can also find blanks for dirt cheap on Amazon. I always thought Gildan longsleeve shirts were great, but their heavy cotton t-shirts felt too thick, especially to wear in the summer.

I've been an earplug guy ever since. I always keep some extra disposable ones in my car, as well as my reusable ones in my jacket that I wear to most shows.
