He's awesome. Listened to a lot of his stuff with Hellborg and Lane.

Shawn's best friend sent me a bunch of videos after he died. Unbelievable stuff.

It's sad that some people dismiss Lane as just another shredder. He has some incredible feeling and very original melodies in his playing.

As for the thread:
Born in 1987, grew up with soviet rock, some classical music and more or less classic rock bands like Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, The Beatles.
Started expanding my horizon in my early teens, added hip-hop, then more heavier rock, punk, jazz, electronic music (first goa and dnb, later mostly breakcore and idm) and extreme metal.
Grindcore brought me to Naked City and from there I got into free jazz, free improv, noise and all that. Also got into prog and later to avantprog and zeuhl.
Also fell in love with Krautrock, especially Can whom I ****ing adore to this day.Discovered tuvan throat singing and some other ethnic music.

These days I mostly listen to the huge world of so-called experimental music, but also have my hip-hop phases, classical phases, jazz phases. And I love prog, especially King Crimson and Van der Graaf Generator.
The last few days I've been listening to a lot of 10cc, awesome artpop, very catchy, but still quite complex and with some great humour.

That's awesome, was just talking about Shawn with a friend of mine - what a great guitarist who has been a big influence and inspiration on my playing - truly sad he passed-away as young as he did.

Hey, I didn't mean to imply that I think they're sh*tty, more so that a lot of people think they are. I'm pretty sure if they weren't branded as a "nu-metal" band, they wouldn't be sh*t on as much. I still love White Pony.

Exo

I know. I was just assuring you that they weren't. Those people *coughcoughninetalesCough* can get bent.
