I do actually care about 'the cool'. Not to get all philosophical about Strats and Doom, but there is definitely something to be said on being inspired by your instruments. If you subconsciously like to 'fit in' then a Gibson Les Paul or an SG is where you'll naturally curve towards, with maybe a Marshall JCM800. If you've relished in the Grungier side of music then you might gravitate towards a pale blue Telecaster and an Ampeg V4. And if you're naturally a little more flamboyant than your band mates then you might just pick up a white Flying V baritone and run a stack of Verellen. It's all very serious, but the conscious mind isn't always in control when choosing, buying and even playing gear. Sometimes you have to go with your gut. Our personality does play a part in what we use as musicians. I don't mean to be saying this like it's new to you, but it's an interesting topic.
NEW BAND ALERT: Bryan(vox) and Andy(guitar) from sludge lords THOU have started a new hardcore band...so fuckin' kvlt there aren't even recordings yet and they are booking their first tour.

What do your gear purchases say about you?
Agree with this 100%.
When it comes to guitars a large part of the decision for me comes based on the look of the guitar and how i look with it over my shoulder...its a bit vein but if the guitar doesn't look good i wont pick it up and play it. I've owned super strats in the past and those periods have been the period i have played guitar the least. I bought those guitars based in functionality and practicality...but never played it.
The Ibanez RG, despite the overly thin neck, is the most comfortable body shape I've experienced. It looks sick as well. But I just don't feel inspired to play them. I don't feel like I'm part of something big, of a movement. That's why I like the Doom Room: because I'm part of a group.

What do your gear purchases say about you?
I personally get comments quite frequently that both of my amps are guitar amps... which technically speaking, they are. It bothers me when people don't want to try things that aren't supposed to "work" or go together (I don't mean with all things...)
Sure, I'm probably going to end up with a 70's SVT because they ARE the king of bass amps... but I thought I'd try what people tell me not to do. Why not?
Right now, I feel like I've been pushing my own limits. Ever since I quit 2 bands I was in late 2011... I sold everything I had gear-wise and started fresh because I felt like both bands were holding me back and I wanted to do MORE and experiment MORE with amps,guitars,basses,pedals,cabs and even musically. Hell, I am still not satisfied musically, I want to experiment even more.
I didn't mean what I said to you offensively, sorry about that. I just think it's pretty dumb that people won't try something out (like a strat for example) in a Doom band because it's "not cool" looking. You know? I bet you can get that thing to sound wicked, I had a Jag and a Mustang before and they both sounded real cool in a heavy guitar setting with the right adjustments.
