This week, we are once again joined by Alex Guaraldi of Coppersound Pedals and that means the return of Quiz Eye for the Pedal Guy! Can Matt and Dave name the controls of iconic pedals or are they just going to fall flat? Also, Guns N' Roses drops two new tracks, and we're asking the tough question: when does "music taste is subjective" stop being a valid defense? We break down why these might cross the line from mediocre to objectively questionable.Plus, fresh interview with Joe Perry reveals Aerosmith isn't quite done yet, but do we REALLY care at this point? Please support our sponsor, Coppersound Pedals www.coppersoundpedals.com and use code DADS10 to 10% off your order, INCLUDING the new Foxcatcher V2 which is available NOW!

This week we're Dadding out over Orange's new King Comp compressor, celebrating the long-awaited Line 6 Stadium pre-orders, and diving into Fender's brown panel '62 Super reissue. In the news: Eddie Van Halen's Kramer ad guitar just sold for $2.7 million at auction, and Slash says the Sphere isn't right for Guns N' Roses – calling it more spectacle than rock and roll venue. That sparks our question: are legacy rock acts being stubborn about technology, or is there real value in keeping live shows raw and authentic?
