    am i the only one?( arcturus reference)

    i pulled out the la masquerade album for a listen(its been a while) and as usual i get hit with the same impression: the musics great, the theatrical feel is awesome and different, but i just cant get into garm on the album(for the most part anyways). he really feels like the weak link here even...

    hi, ive been trying out fingerstyle lately but find i have trouble keeping things quiet while playing ascending scale passages. to much ring or noise for my taste as my fret hand moves from a lower string to a higher one. is alternating fingers using a "rest stroke" technique the key to my...

    re-issues question

    just discovered yesterday that nevermore reissued the old stuff with bonus material but is any of it good enough to make me want to repurchase anything? the debut seems to come with more goodies but im hesitant when it comes to demo tracks as some just sound to low budget for my tastes.

    string question

    any ideas if will a 54' gauge be okay tuned down to c on a 25.25 scale neck? i know i would be better with a 56 or 58 but a 54 seemed to fit better in the roller nut on my strat and its tough enough just getting a 54 to fit through the tuning peg.

    warrel in live perfomance

    i just wanted to know if he can pull it off live. when i saw them on the gigantour last year it actually sounded as if he butchered a few songs and i dont think he did that great. the show was pretty loud and the mix was kinda bad so maybe he just couldn't hear himself properly or was just...

    question for those who've heard the new dissection

    i just wondered if you guys all hate it for the same reasons that everybody uses to shit all over all new in flames, soilwork, and evergrey albums cause if so then i'd probably like it. it can't be as bad as everybody says. i just suspect its different in style from the classic twosome and hence...

    akercocke?

    i just picked up the last two albums by these brits and i find that while i really enjoy the song structures and clean vocals i absolutely despise the death/black vocals. the extreme vocals that this guy is using sound like a mix of a more horrible version of "principles of evil made flesh" era...
