Listicles and such.

I don't want to talk about sports. Rockets are about to start. I'm allready writing off this season for the Texans.

Few music listicles then?

You won't ever hear any of these on the radio
Guitar solos you need to hear before you die:
Tornado of souls - Megadeth (Marty Friedman)
Reach Down - Temple of the Dog (Mike McCready)*
Blue Sky - The Allman Brothers (Duane Allman/Dickey Betts)
Soothsayer - Buckethead
The air I breathe - All that Remains (Oli Herbert)
Mr. Crowley - (Randy Rhoads)


*According to wikipedia: "McCready performed an epic 4-minute-plus solo for "Reach Down". According to [Chris]Cornell, McCready's headphone monitors flew off halfway through the recording of the solo, and he played the rest without being able to hear the backing track. McCready considers this track to be one of his proudest moments"

Thats fucking awesome!!!

What music is interesting me as of now:
Coheed and Cambria - rocking. The story behind the albums is fucking weird! I cannot explain.
Some older stuff like Yes, The Doobie Brothers, Neil Young, and Bad Company
And motherfucken Queens of the Stone Age. Mosquito song is quickly rising on my list of favorite songs ever. Songs for the Deaf is win.

Shit that is on its way out of my mind and im not proud of ever being fond of:
Dragonforce - Holy balls, you play really really fast and make nintendo noises with your guitar.
Seether - ugh
Not hearing "Bridge of Sighs" until I was 24 years old.
Listening to people try to explain why Megadeth is better than Metallica or vice versa.

Random YouTube badass. (Well hes not really a youtube freak, but you wouldn't have known of him)

Unbeatable technique + great melody

I know no one is going to watch that youtube video, but towards the end it goes into full on shred mode that gets kind of boring for alot of people to watch. But the beginning rocks.
