    Innovative or sloppy?

    lmao! most awkward conversation between bandmates in the car for me was: I live with my ex, whose also my closest friend. (relationship just didn't work.) My lead singer came to grab me for practice, and in the car, for 45 minutes, went on for how much he was "infatuated" by this girl...

    Innovative or sloppy?

    Hey, some of the best musicians do this :P I'm more impressed with your ability to actually recall it. Not many can say "OOPS, sorry, my dick hung out for a sec". lol. I kinda have the "bitter jaded old man" attitude. How I got that at 23 is a longer story :P but for the record, carpooling...

    Innovative or sloppy?

    lol ^^ When I first got the link sent to me I thought it was a joke. I don't know if all the guitar skills in the world would be worth sporting the dick/stomach bulge.

    Innovative or sloppy?

    with all due respect who are you/me to say whether his song has "meaning" or not? Classical musicians had equally complex pieces, as well as more tame, but their complex pieces somehow "mean" more than his because...why? @Stealthtastic: I think he needs him an ENGL :P

    Innovative or sloppy?

    One thing that's really present is that blues riffing at a higher speed. As mentioned, it's improv, so if you're more of a neoclassical/classical influenced metal fan, you may not appreciate this as much as someone who is influenced directly by blues/improv. (I.E. Jelly Roll Morton, though he...

    Innovative or sloppy?

    I'm not impressed by sheer skill, I think a melodic sense to an insanely fast solo just adds so much substance.

    Innovative or sloppy?

    What is weird to me is this is all I've ever seen this dude do. I mean, this guy could dominate any genre of guitar if he wanted to, I'm surprised he isn't signed. (eh, maybe he is, who knows)

    Innovative or sloppy?

    I just saw this thing for the first time a couple weeks ago, lol. Amazing how long it takes for some videos to get around... That eight finger tapping looks pretty beastly

    Innovative or sloppy?

    I personally thought this was pretty awesome, not for the solo... but for that sexy man bulge :P

    Song writing?

    He's pretty much got it. Play around with it a bit. To be honest, there are advantages to starting the writing process with a particular instrument, and each one has different plusses and minuses. If you start the writing with drums, the rhythm is probably going to be more dominant than...

    Cubital Tunnel Syndrom!! wtf does that mean?!

    Thanks again to everyone for the input and advice! As it turns out, the surgery is inevitable, probably a couple years off guitar, i'll reassess later, probably with another forum, lol.

    How much money do metal bands/musicians make in a year?

    There is a real world logic to your statement that cannot be ignored. Furthermore, People can barely get loans for a house right now WITH a secure job. Not that all musicians have bad credit, but well...the two seem to be in cahoots in a constant basis. I imagine that the APR on that puppy would...

    Cubital Tunnel Syndrom!! wtf does that mean?!

    I appreciate your comment, however, with this condition, after muscle deterioration has started, the nerve has already been damaged too much to be reversed with a conventional method. My hand already has severe muscle deterioration. The case I'm in is for surgical cases only, as surgery would be...

    Your photo you put up of mr. Townsend in all his receding hairline greatness is a fantastic example of what ya just mentioned. :D

    Cubital Tunnel Syndrom!! wtf does that mean?!

    Would you mind if I kept in contact with ya through this? You're the first person I've met whose even had the syndrome, and the surgery, let alone another guitarist who has had it done. OH I forgot the irony of all this, lmao: Last month I finally bought my dream rig. ENGL Savage and a new...

    How much money do metal bands/musicians make in a year?

    This isn't new though. Even back in the 90's, before downloading was common practice, bands weren't getting a penny off their albums (not all bands, just a lot of the bigger mainstream ones), but instead from shows and merch. Here's what scares me about all the label/band/cds/show stuff...
