Necrowetch/The Ones From Hell-this one goes out to my dude @Hungarino , a man of many names, Hungarian, hung-like-a-horse, Hungo, Hang'em'high, etc. One of my old pee:ps who happens to be a very cool guy (edit: that should read Satanic evil overlord of course) and keeps me in the goat fields among my poser leanings....from his best AOY list from 2020! This one has kept me shredding on my ride today.

blackdoomfan, I usually agree with your posts and tastes in metal, we like the same stuff, and Becker is both tragic and amazing 😃 BUT! I wont do this lol. As a guitar player we always kind of say no one is better, we are all different. But when it comes to Becker, Malmsteen, Vai, Asahi. it is bs, they are better. But they cant write a song like Cannibal Corpse or even The Misfits can usually. Better to shred or be able to write the super simple stupid power chord riffs that my 4 year old niece can play? Sometimes simple is better, cooler, more fun. Death invented some song writing structures that are solidly in place in 2021 recordings. Mustaine should get a lot of credit for songwriting, leads. rhythm. singing, and basically willing his style of minor writing into existance and getting it on the radio when no one played metal So it is better to be an athletic type shredder, that literally is above everyone else physically? Or be able to write a riff that will make 80,000 people at a festival bounce like one gigantic wild animal? I cant listen to an hour long becker album, it is all speed metal solos, i respect it. It took me 20 years to even do some of his stuff on guitar...but lets hear Obituary - Cause of Death album through one more time!

I used to paint miniatures and model kits actually! (I have no ability to draw.) I wish that my profile picture was my own work, but it is actually the cover of the reissue of Reek of the Unzen Gas Fumes' second demo: Great music too: On topic, I currently either work out or read a magazine while listening to music.
