It was probably my mum who inspired me to pick up the guitar, because growing up she was always strumming around on an acoustic around the house, and i wanted to be able to do that too because i loved listening to music, so playing must be just as awesome. I started learning how to play...

GRANDMAAAAAA WHAT WAS IT LIKE... TO BE ON THAT HOLIDAY SITE!!!!!!

I'm sort of into the idea of what Radiohead's music is supposed to sound like, i just don't like what they do with it. And they are massive arseholes, and i saw a live concert of theirs and they just stared at the floor and looked like they were all tripping balls on heroin. A big massive...

While it IS all down to personal taste, there are some bands that are actually scientifically fucking bullshit. They are.... Linkin Park Pussycat Dolls Bang Tango Nelson Killswitch Engage Lamb of God Mayhem Gorgoroth Hatebreed Korn Spandau Ballet (Duran Duran fucking kill...

Playing with a metronome is only one part of the equation. Try playing the same warm up/practice routine but speed up and slow down during each run through, without a metronome. That way you've already learned how to play fast at a static tempo with a metronome, and then you can learn how...

People downloading albums doesn't affect bands as much as you would think. I think some bands tend to forget that their record company usually takes most of what they earn from CD sales anyway, it's just that since CD's are selling less, then record companies are making less money off their...

I usually listen to classical, these days just as much as i listen to metal. The thing is... i like the music but don't like the sound of the instruments that play it... especially with really old recordings that have just been whacked straight on to a CD. I like that "Hooked on...

I just started learning bits of MAB's No Boundaries. Jesus Christ, learning it, i can see what he did and can play it, but how the friggen hell did he WRITE IT? I guess he had a fair amount of time on his hands when he was in NITRO.

Seriously, Ol is right. Every Megadeth album is a MUST HAVE!!! Pretty much the only 'bad' album is Risk, and that still has awesome songs, it's just that they aren't "Thrash" or "Metal" and most of them aren't even "Rock", but they are well written and have that distinct quality that could...

When i met Mustaine towards the end of 2006 he didn't look like his former self. He looked VERY stoned, skinny as a stick, and his face was all sunken in. Anyone seen the live at the Fillmore DVD where he's ripped as fuck? that was in like '99, I'd say he'd still kick Rambo's arse, but...

Try not sucking, that usually helps. Singing while doing sweeps is piss easy, you just do it. If you think about it you'll fuck up.

This thread made me go back and listen to Alice in Hell again. PWWWWWOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR As if cunts wouldn't listen to this shit. I haven't listened to them in so long, but i still love this album. Jeff's axe skillz are beyond amazing, he's shredding some of the sickest solos...

Cynic - Veil of Maya

There's Australian radio show called "Full Metal Racket" and last night they were talking about Death Magnetic's "Guitar Hero Mix" which, i have to say, almost totally changes my opinion of the album. The drum sound is better, you can hear all the nuance of James' picking, and can even hear...

The first 3 Annihilator albums were some of the best metal ever made, King of the Kill was ok, and the Reunion album (the name of which escapes me) with the lineup from the first album was decent. The rest of their albums are barely passable and i think it's a shame, because based on their past...
