I am extremely grateful for the interactions with great people across politics, faith, music/metal/guitar, gaming & culture I've had on here since joining. These are some of my favorite topics and I'm thankful for all the wonderful people and great conversations I've had on here.

For one single day, the politics came to an abrupt halt and everyone was a metalhead.

I did a quick cover of Black Sabbath's Paranoid this evening. No vocals, just music. I can't sing, I won't put you through that. No deep mixing or EQ, just the basics. The bass lines are so ridiculously fun to play. Tried to mesh Tony, Randy & Zakk with my own style. RIP Ozzy.…

For the first time in forever, my feed is actually wholesome and united, unfortunately for the loss of Ozzy Osbourne. Every walk of life, left and right, metal jazz rock country blues and hip hop, all sharing memories & stories. Rest in peace, Ozzy. See you on the other side 🤘

This is a cool album that doesn't get a lot of love or recognition. Even I forget about it and I don't know why. Reminds me of early Black Sabbath meets early Metallica. Really cool album.

Ive always been a big fan of Seymour Duncan pickups and just passives in general, but lately I'm really digging my EMG actives a lot more. I always liked them, but usually liked passives more, particularly SD JB/Jazz or JB/'59 combos and especially for clean playing. I'm…

I admire dozens of guitarists and draw influence from everywhere I can, but Tony Iommi is the absolute riff master. He didn't just write a couple good riffs here and there, he wrote a f*ck-ton of them! And he did it all after losing his fingertips on his fretting hand in an…

80s action/sci fi/fantasy movies just hit so differently than modern movies. RoboCop, Terminator, Predator, Escape from New York, The Thing, Aliens, Conan, Highlander, etc. New movies don't have the same charm. I prefer the practical effects and real sets over all the CGI.

A lot of the absolutely worst people are loving this and celebrating. When Nikki Haley and Dan Crenshaw are out here celebrating, that tells me everything. I dont want America doing anyone's dirty work. These are weird times.

I'd love to jam with Jason Newsted and do a project with him. There's a ton of others I'd love to jam with for sure. I'd just love to let Jason rip and bring back what he was doing in Flotsam and Jetsam and let his playing actually be heard.

"Everyone needs to be heard." Turns off comments. Not even ironic anymore.

Liberals are weird. They're always putting people they disagree with on lists. It's insanely creepy. I don't get it. Nor do I really want to. This happens often. But I usually see a lot of really cool people on these lists 😂

X needs to incorporate a way to simply add mp3s, have artist pages like MySpace used to have. Have a pic, small bio, and a music player with like 5 or 6 songs available for you to listen to and check out. MySpace was the best social media platform for bands & artists hands down.

Ok, this is pretty freaking cool!

Criminally underrated Dio album featuring stellar guitar playing by Doug Aldrich. Love his guitar tone on this. Pretty cool album cover, too!

I made a reference chart for the intervals of common scales and modes. Feel free to save or share.
