I have the utmost respect for Jason's technique and talent, but prefer Marty's music/sense of melody/phrasing overall. Shame about what happened, but it's good to hear that he's found a way to create music, still.

True, yes, I saw H&H in Newcastle recently. Didn't know that Iced Earth and Lamb of God were going to open prior to the actual show, so that was a pleasant surprise. :kickass: IE would be better than Blind Guardian (not a good live band by any means - and I'm not saying that solely becauce...

Anything is better than having Steve's daughter open (no pun intended). How about In Flames or Iced Earth?

I'll be seeing them at least once on this tour, hopefully more. The poster is ace, but the shirt somewhat disappointing. :(

Meshuggah's Catch Thirty-Three.

Agreed, Marty most notably. Add some Dime and Satch in there (even though he is more melodic/instrumental than strictly "metal"). Last but not least, Adrian Smith.

Probably moving abroad to study in this city (albeit not as inspiring as I envisioned). That, and resuming an old relationship.

:lol: Kill some zombies. I put on loud metal (preferably Dissection) and DANCE to it, proper Saturday Night Fever style. Either that, or going for a stroll around the city for hours.

A good ol' Zeppelin tee (Swan Song).

Long-haired fellows or bearded baldies get the thumbs up from me. I'm considering something along these lines: Whenever the current "skint-ness" subdues...

You'll want to practise your picking. Do some metronome work; start out slowly and increase the speed gradually. Focus on getting it neat. The P word is key. And this is advice from someone who is light-years upon light-years away from anything remotely similar to shredding. :cool: Whoever...
