I always stop by here to see what's up. I mean, this is th Ultimate Metal Musician's Forum. That means there are other metal heads out there wanting to learn how to jam better. There are a lot of musicians on Ultimate Metal, I just think this board is more for the enjoyment of music and life rather than the working on one's chops or mixing, or recording. However, in addition to Musician's Discussion on UM, try Andy Sneap's forum at the bottom. He is a recording GURU and serious musician's tend to hang there. All in all, though, I agree, this forum is dead.
