  1. I wouldn't say I "grew out of it." I mean, I don't listen to JUST metal any more. I go through phases. For a period of about a year I mostly just listened to IDM, post-rock, and a bit of jazz. The only metal I really listened to often was Buckethead. Oh, for you geezers out there, "IDM" means "techno that is pleasant to listen to while sitting around your house, rather than most techno, which is only pleasant if you're a dancing e-tard. NOTE TO THE MODS: "E-tard" is not meant to be a cheap bypass of the wordfilter. It's a term for people who do too much ecstasy. Just thought I'd point that out if you guys were feeling trigger-happy today. I finally learned something new. I'm a geezer.
  2. Cash, Johnny Cash, Ghost Riders in the Sky may have been one of the 1st metal songs and he never knew it or intended it to be.:cop:Just add heavily distorted guitar and slightly more aggressive singing:idk: Gene Autry may have been the first to sing it in 1949. The best instermental version I remember was done by a Surf Band called the Challengers.
  3. Never did much Heavy Metal, by the time it came around I was moving from Rock to Jazz. It's a good idea to reinvent yourself every few years, move on to something more advanced. I've done Folk, Surf, Country, Blues and a ton of different Rock music. I can't imagine most the 30 somethings playing Heavy Metal today will still do it in their 50's, 60's and beyond, I hope they move on to something else.
  4. I was in Guitar Center and decided to try this amp I had never seen before called a Raven. I plugged in a standard Ibanez guitar and, I swear this amp had to be the worst I've heard in years. It sounded like complete ASS. On the upside, the built-in tuner was nice. I hope they are giving those away free with the purchase of a 5 pack of strings, otherwise somebody's getting ripped off. Anyone else played one of these? Well, they just weren't made for high class players like you.
