    Wannabe Guitarist!

    Oops, almost forgot to mention this. Getting good equipment and a good guitar tone is just as important as well. Believe me, you won't be inspired to play if you're stuck with an out of tune guitar, rusty strings with high action and running through a cracked amp with half the distortion working...

    Wannabe Guitarist!

    Well, there's no quick and easy way to master the guitar. I guess the best method would be taking lessons from someone who can teach you the music that you want to play. Of course, you'd have to master the basics first including picking, bending, hammer-on's etc. When I started playing, I...

    Bands copying Symphony X ..

    The thread on At Vance ripping Symphony X off got me thinking about other bands that imitated Symphony X. Here are some off the top of my head : Silent Voices - Beyond (Chapters ..) (similar to the main riff off Evolution) Hemisphere - Mind's Door (similar to Smoke and Mirrors) Have...

    Michael Romeo's action

    Its definitely low. It'd be crazy trying to do all of his crazy sweep picking licks with high action ;)

    What is the best album of the year so far?

    Not many truly outstanding releases this year, but one which has caught my ear so far is Killswitch Engage's Alive or Just Breathing. Tons of aggression, pounding drums and thrashy-licious riffs ..

    Symphony X Albums UNAVAILABLE in the UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, I picked up Divine Wings plus Damnation Game from Tower Records in London a couple of years back. I'm sure they would've stocked up abit. Funny tho, the titles weren't kept in the metal section. When I was paying for it at the counter, another customer popped up and asked me where I found...

    Pain of Salvation

    .. they're more of a moody prog 'metal' band than anything else. If you want crushing metal like Nevermore, I think you're better off sticking to thrashy bands like Prototype, Pagan's Mind and Obliveon. If you can handle death growls, try Extol and Quo Vadis. :)

    Sinergy - Suicide By My Side

    Gotta agree there, Alexi and Roope definitely strutted their stuff on this album. I just hope Alexi saved some of the better stuff for the next Children of Bodom album ..
