      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

    Evergrey is criminally overlooked and has continued to release consistently great quality albums for over 20 years…. And the one of the very best singers in metal

    I’m so glad Mer De Noms got some love. I remember seeing them play the whole thing live when they did a few shows in LA playing all their albums all the way through years ago. This album was so instrumental in inspiring writing for me, too! And C# standard>>>>>>

    Wow, never expected him to say Parkway Drive!! I mean I absolutely love the band, one of my favourite also, just never expected him to say that! Listening to this guy, I hear so much Steve Vai and Satriani, always thought they were his key ppl! :D

    • @AngelVivaldi
      @AngelVivaldi ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you listen to An Erisian Autumn, in particular the instrumental (without lead guitar) you'll hear straight up "Idols and Anchors" from Parkway Drive influence. Lots of people get distracted by the lead guitar that they overlook the song itself, take a listen :) angelvivaldi.bandcamp.com/track/an-erisian-autumn-backing-track

    Wow! Didn't expect Evergrey, one of my favourite bands ever! They are one of the few bands (for me) with such emotional expressions, thanks to Tom Englund mainly. 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 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

    Metal fans arent open minded and definitely wouldn’t t give any other genre a chance. Hell, metal fans cant even agree on what metal is, for example Ghost, people still argue they're not real metal and they've been around for over a decade!!

    • @joegil8955
      @joegil8955 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @user-ch2uq9py3u Thats a massive stretch, how can you vouch for 'other parts of the world'? Also you didnt comment of the fact that metal fans cant decide whether Ghost is metal or not.

    • @joegil8955
      @joegil8955 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @user-ch2uq9py3u You could literally just write, 'where i'm from', addition of 'other parts of the world' implies other places including where you live.
      Idk whether you've missed all the memes about metalheads arguing over 'technical death metal' or 'brutal tech death metal' and linking park or ghost not being real etc etc. Maybe you dont but a lot of metalheads have a massive superiority complex over the music they listen to.
