okay, I exagerreted..Sue me!! lol..Okay it's better than the majority of mainstream teen stuff e.g Busted, Mcfly, Greenday, Sum 41, etc maybe even the Killers..I mean there are some decent bands around..like Razorlight, or Kings of leon, the darkness..I mean I can't stand all this coldplay and keane kind of music, it's just so boring..I don't mind bands like Nightwish but the majority of them are just terrible..Nu-metal sucks..I like a few other bands at the mo too..Dead 60's, Hot, Hot heat as well, Incubus' new single is good, Tony Immoi's new albums class, I like Finch too..vendetta red and life of agony are decent too..

which noone with any decent musical sense cares about :)

[QUOTE=deadkennedysmeetstheclash]Van halen basiclaly invented hammering on a guitar, he could hammer like no other. [QUOTE] I thought this too! But apparently he wasn't the first... It was Johny Cash believe it or not. It was then picked up by Jango Rinehart (Most amazing guitarist, TWO fingers and rated second to hendrix). Then we heard Van Halen breaking out in songs which I believe are truely awesome, such as Eruption (which I've just been told was origanlly taken from Eddy Van Halen WARMING UP as opposed to a written song!!)

Satch is awesome at this as well (you would have known that), sometimes he taps one two strings at a time, and he gets some wicked sounds. I was wondering if anyone knows what kinda Humbuckers he would have - EMG?.

To Urban_Hatesomething, I still think your 40, and props to you for reading - who cares? You were right, I was wrong, I explained myself, I also told you I think your 40 because you do know your **** and your probably 40. If your not 40 youve had a cool upbringing cause Ive never got exposure to all the metals :( I grew up with Paul Kelly, Beatles, travelling Wilburys, foreigner, if that gives you any Idea. I have no complaints about those previous artists and the like, it will still stay with me forever, but Ive just turned into a metal head in my teens :P

I havent really heard much of busted, their vocalist irritates me a bit, his voice is fine its just not suited to the tone color of the songs they play I reckon. I enjoy listening to the likes of Greenday and The Killers, and I have a decent musical sense - ( I think... I can't take hip hop)

This was a hard one for me, but i'm gonna go with Preist on this one.

Priest.

if forced to choose would have to go with judas but would rather see maiden in concert

Um , most of the stuff you`re talking about pre-dates what I am

What are you? 60?

maiden. cos they have Eddie.


how the hell is Django Reinhardt gonna hear it from Johnny Cash if hes all the way in belgium?

Thank you, but the true master of the two handed tapping technique will always be Jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan.

Oh, and Satriani's pickups are:
Bridge - DiMarzio Custom PAF Joe
Neck - DiMarzio FRED
Neither of which are active pickups

I like both, but Priest r better.
