I went to college to learn about computers. My wife was a music major and taught me much about music theory. I played in a band and took vocal lessons from a private instructor.

Ask some specific questions if you wish, I'm not really up for writing a white paper on breath support.

It'll be a year before you are conditioned enough to sing a 2 hour show. It depends on if you are going to scream. If you are going to scream, then fuck it don't read on.

When beginning to write a new song, I'll conceptualize a feel and flow for the song. Sometimes, I'll write it down (no. of bars for each section, key, etc.) so I don't forget it. Then I'll try to write riffs to fill in the pieces. Sometimes when my mood is right, the stuff just flows and I can get i...

If you use lots of gain, a compressor is actually a bad thing. Distortion already compresses the signal anyway. If you're going to use it, put it BEFORE the distortion pedal or gain stage or it sounds like absolute ass. This is accurate. Also, unless you are in the studio I think you should abandon...

I would have voted Mastodon, but I had to settle with The Haunted. They were awesome at ATP, and I don't even like them that much on record. Really, damn. I thought the Leviathan album was pretty good but their live show was poop. Saw them twice in the last year. Once with Slayer and once on Ozzfest.
