Actually, yes I do.
It's called experience, and in case you haven't heard, there's no substitution for it.
Let's use an analogy...
Say you want to build a house and are in need of some expert advice. Your buddy next door just built a dog house in his back yard. But the guy down the street built his first dog house 20 years ago and now owns a successful construction company that builds everything from estate homes and mansions to schools and hospitals. Who's advice are you gonna take into more serious consideration?
Come on man. I'm not trying to say that I'm better than anybody else. To most people (especially ME), I'm just another long hair stoner rocker dirtbag -just like most of you on here. But, I have been professionally involved with music for a long time. It's hard to explain to some people, but when you have your head in between a pair of speakers for 14 hours a day, day after day, year after year - you become a lot closer to music than just your average listener. I know what great playing is, I know what great songs are, and I know the difference between great artists and good artists. It doesn't even matter what kind of music it is, either. Some people don't have to even be music "pros" to have the same sort of understanding. I think that you are probably one of those types. Look bro, I'm sorry if I came off as some kind of monster (sorry, just had to do that) or arrogant asswipe. Most people think that I'm a pretty cool dude. I'm just very passionate about music... especially heavy metal.
