Trivia Question

Marcus,

I didn't see if anyone guessed on your question of inspiration for the ending of your Tony's styled bit.

Is it the song, Heaven and Hell. Ooops, if someone already guessed!

Happy To Be Here

Hello.........I am glad to be here.

I never could stick with learning guitar growing up. Video games seemed to consume all my free time. But thanks to this site, and a stronger wanting to produce brash noises, I have been able to stick with it. I have started lessons by Lian, Pavel and Marcus. I love the metal.......though my favorite bands are different.

Favorite bands/musicians: Bob Dylan, mewithoutYou, Bad Brains, Killswitch Engage (old), White Stripes, John Prine,The Pogues, Syd Barrett, Hole, Ramones, As I Lay Dying, Alice Cooper, Primus, Johnny Cash, Iron Maiden, Gordon Lightfoot, The Irish Rovers, Jars Of Clay, Talking Heads, Neil Young.

What I want to sound like: The Exploited (latest album), Megadeth (old), Exodus, Slayer......I want to make thrash punk type stuff........though sometimes my mind adjusts and old Pink Floyd material sounds heavier to me than any metal.

I liked Joey Ramone's tribute song to Maria Bartiromo........what would be ideal for me would be to perform the sound of the stuff above with a lyrical theme touching on the economy, stock market, the manipulation that lies therein, and etc. (Specific stuff like naked short selling and such). I am way off from that though. Again, I am just happy to be here....listening, learning, growing some.

Thank you all that make these lessons.......those that have flocked here and write.....I hope to mine this message board for inspiration.

God bless and Semper Fi
