Gunsmithing A Real Gunsmith Question

[SSC]

What music do you listen to while chambering???

I have gone the gambit and keep coming to the conclusion that Classic Country is what I want to listen but it is just too mellow and feel like I should be just hanging out. Now I listen to some stuff that is hard enough to keep the attitude of "Heck yeah I'm building guns!!" but not so crazy that when customers stop by they aren't freaked out.

 

[FCrifles]

Late 80's hairband, Johnny Cash, Haggard, Jamey Johnson, George Jones, Waylon and Lefty Frizzell.

 

[Sledge1]

Google: Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Live in Chicago.
If that didn't get ya going, you've got problems.

 

[Killswitch Engage]

straight hate, coffee pounding, cat killing shit that makes the chips curl in fear coming off my lathe

 

[my human host]

Tool, Monster Magnet, Pearl Jam, and SRV. Varies on my mood.

Monster Magnet is my current favorite:

"I'm never gonna work another day in my life, the gods told me to relax, they said I'm gonna get fixed up right."

 

[Lucky Jack]

Lamb of God, Slayer, Hatebreed, Pantera...music like that is on in the shop all day, everyday. I told one of the older guys who loves to complain about it that we call it "anti-personnel music" to keep all their asses out of the shop so we can work.

 

[300sniper]

The Enya, Shepherd Moons CD on repeat...

 

[338RUM runner]

Kelly Clarkson

 

[Graham]

A Real Gunsmith Question

G.B.H: City Baby Attacked by Rats

Which is why I am not a gunsmith.

 

[Phezzik]

Newer "country" (Luke Bryan, Jason Adlean. ect.) when customers are around or I'm feelin lazy, Five Finger death Punch when I really wanna get work done.

 

[avidflyer]

A little Barry Manilow in the shop sets the tone....Gene Pool's favorite....Bee Gees

 

[Raven 6]

Dean Martin

 

[SSC]

Flyleaf just seems to keep coming up on pandora.

 

[Killswitch Engage]

Try some avenged sevenfold and watch the productivity go through the fucking roof

 

[Bibs Machine]

The Enya, Shepherd Moons CD on repeat...

Yes I agree with 300sniper Enya is Great!!

But mostly I listen to Opera the only real music there is!!

 

[300sniper]

Have the nag champa burning...

 

[Sonic Crack]

A little bit of everything. Some days country, some days metal, some days Savage

 

[bptactical]

Jeff Beck, Robin Trower, SRV.
But if I am doing something that really requires concentration I usually turn the tune off.
I want to hear what my machine is doing.

 

[Ritten]

Two Steps from Hell

 

[M.rolen]

Flyleaf just seems to keep coming up on pandora.

That's funny, im sitting in the shop and flyleaf came on right when I read that post.

Typically I listen to five finger death punch, tool, slipknot. any thing to keep people out of the shop!

 

[woodsy]

Molly Hatchet Flirt'n with Disaster!

And Nugent, ACDC, Pink Floyd, Journey, Led Zepplin, etc.

 

[Wheres-Waldo]

Do you have any Megadeth?

 

[Killswitch Engage]

Do you have any Megadeth?

Does a hobby horse have a wooden dick...

 

[Muzzlebreak]

Pink Floyd, Tool, Zeppelin, SRV...

 

[Goatman007]

Klingon opera when I can get it,LOL, Tchaikovsky, Chopan, Mozart, & Vivaldi when the player is on. Also Dueling Banjo's, Flatt & Skruggs, Good old American folk music. You can keep all that head-banging, acid dropping, mega death-hate crap out of my shop. Never cared for it, never will. To me, if a customer steps in your shop and hears the puking pumkins spewing forth their "Music", that reeks of unprofessionalism. JMO

 

[Cascade Precision]

When it is just me in the shop: Real metal (Pantera, old Metallica, that general era of metal) or classic rock (The Stones, The Doors, you get the idea). Amazing and beautiful things happen on my lathe. I think I will be borrowing the term "anti-personnel music". Thanks!

When the boss is in: New "country". I am hardcore and can muddle through most things in life, just less enthusiasm. Thank god its not RAP.

 

[phreakmode]

I spun up a 6.5x47 last weekend with Akercocke, Samael and Disavowed on rotation. Indicating was different, a bit too much on the aggressive atmosphere. Think I'll try some Patsy Cline next time.

i am delightfully tacky and unrefined....

Yeah, I know. LOL bud.

 

[eddieharren]

I have a continuous loop of "Rat Tamago" by Frank Zappa.

 

[Graham]

A Real Gunsmith Question

The Gun a Club: Miami.

Featuring Debbie Harry as a real singer, albeit a backup.

 

[Texar2]

Solid Christmas music. Every damn day!

 

[Wheres-Waldo]

Solid Christmas music. Every damn day!

The one genre worse than rap...

 

[Texar2]

When I watched the interrogation scene in zero dark thirty my first thought was that if they would switch to Christmas music they could break the terrorist faster.

 

[Clark]

I am not a real gunsmith, only an amateur.
I have only cut threads and chambers on 27 rifles, all for myself.
I listen to Rush Limbaugh.

But I have watched my brother chamber rifles, and he was listening to the Ventures.

Don't laugh: a use may finally exist for Christian radio.?

You are 100% correct. Goatman !

 

[SMILEY 369]

Two Steps from Hell

I'am going to see how this turns out MOA or sub MOA LOL !!!!!!!!!

 

[BGE541]

Bieber: Oh Baby Baby Baby
Miley: Wrecking Ball

A few others but honestly I dont get much built because I find myself consistantly taking breaks to dance......uuuhhhhh I mean... yeah SUB SUB MOA


P.S.

Clearly I'm not a gunsmith. Tool, Godsmack, "HEAD" some old Metallica are all good...

 

[E. Bryant]

When the boss is in: New "country". I am hardcore and can muddle through most things in life, just less enthusiasm.

See if you can put in some Drive-By Truckers or '90s "alt country" (Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, Wilco, et al) as a compromise. Cracker will do, too.

 

[Punisher29073]

No Ray Wylie Hubbard?

Ryan

 

[LibertyArms]

Metallica - One , seems to do it !

 

[KoonceCustom]

While the machines are running, it's tough to go wrong with the Pandora stations for The Clash, The Rolling Stones and Talking Heads.

 

[jrassy]

Try some Umpherres McGee or phish, Steve Vai, Joe Bonomasso if you want to start a project and finish it during one track.

 

[Rthur]

Abba..........just saying

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Can't say for chambering, but for doing engine work on old bikes and cars... Pink Floyd, Buffet or Zappa. Watermelon in Easter Hay is a great machining song.



Cheers,

Sirhr

This is how i used to get people to stay away from the arms room and not try to hang out all day. But i used classic oldies and eighties crap as the weapon of choice. Nothing says go away and leave me alone like ABBA or Bobby Darren.

 

[forrestgump01]

I like me some village people, simon and Garfunkel , Celine Dion , Brittany spears, maybe a little vanilla ice. .......
Yaaaaaaa...........YMCA..... gets me going !!

 

[SSC]

To be honest I get tired of music about half the time and switch over to talk radio and podcasts. Been listening to a lot of TED talks and Dave Ramsey.

That's me. SA all day. Beck @ 9, Rush, Hannity, Pags and if it's a late night, Michael Berry. He could be the best!
