      Dude! Perfect picks! Evergrey, CoB, A Perfect Circle, what a snapshot to my late teens / early 20's stuff why I also picked up the guitar at first place! And I have your signature axe as my choice of weapon, so there it is man! Perfect influential riffs and perfect signature guitar. Cheers

What to say of the atmosphere they create with keys and guitars? Maybe that's what I catched in you when I first heard your song - A Mercurian Summer!

    It really hit me deep when you started playing five months. That intro riff, i knew from day 1 of hearing it that it would be super fun to play. The horizons album changed my life. But five months was the 1st pwd song i learned all the way through, and it was my biggest challenge at that time.

    @technicaldeathmetalhead Před rokem +2

    I agree about being openminded about music!
    Your cover of "Beautiful" by Ferry Corsten introduced me to .. Ferry Corsten. A lot of us metalheads miss out by limiting ourselves to genre or subgenres. I listen to everything from trap rap and tech death to country, Punjabi rap, reggaeton and surf rock and indie.
    It was the drive to mimic the piano which caused sweep picking and it was the saxophone that pushed Alan Holdsworth legato playing.
    Thank you again and be safe brother!
    P.S. "Crazy on You" outro is gorgeous. The Wilson sisters are goated for vocals and guitar!

      I'm 34, I've taken plenty of time and found what I like. I hate this idea that people should force themselves to partake in activities they don't enjoy.
      I don't like pop, I don't like country, I don't like MOST music, actually. The sound waves go into my ears which sends signals to my brain and my brain says "I don't like that". It's a pretty simple concept to grasp.

    Horizons is definitely a phenomenal album front to back! One of my absolute favorites!
    So is Darkest Hours “Undoing Ruin”. Absolutely phenomenal album! Each track bleeds into the other so well.
    All That Remains 2nd album, “This Darkened Heart” is also one of my favorite full albums.
    Testament’s “The Formation of Damnation” album is probably THE most perfect and flawless metal record I’ve ever heard though. I can’t pinpoint a single flaw in it. Love that record.
