I've started learning guitar again recently, I'm in my 30s...last time I took it seriously I was 16. So I'm essentially a beginner again. It's incredibly satisfying, nostalgic, and fun. I'm currently learning songs that would make people in this thread cringe (Noel Gallagher songs, cough cough - but I do love 'em) ... but hopefully within a year or so I can start smashing out some Lamb of God.

Went to a Machine Head concert the other day, couldn't believe it that Burn My Eyes was released 25 years ago. They still have that ferocity on stage that make them essential despite that Robb Flynn turned 50 today.
Few songs can evoke the same crowd response as Davidian.

I like Animals as Leaders, but I think that the project sometimes tries for too much and falls a little flat. Tosin is quite the guitarist, though. He will probably be one of the greatest guitarists out there if he manages to avoid the usual pitfalls that kill virtuosos: shitty management, lazy record labels, debt, drugs, alcohol or divorce rape.
I have a friend who is close with some people in that circle, so I often hear a lot of the metal gossip. Ha. Not much dirt on Tosin that strikes me particularly believable. Apparently, he has a big ego, but I don't see that as much of a character fault. I'm not paying him to be nice to me. I just want him to shred like an animal.
I can confirm Tosin is a dueche. Met him at the NAMM show around 2011 or 2012. This was before their second album came out.
I was walking and saw him and Javier the (bassist?) other guy in the band and said "Hey animals! big fan!" Tosin wouldn't even turn around to see who I was. Javier did turn around and shake my hand and apologized for Tosin being a fag.
I stopped listening around that time because
-The second album sucked
-Tosin is an unlikeable cunt
Honestly even their first album, despite having some good tunes, found me skipping large passages of their songs to get to the parts I liked. Soraya was a good song, so was On Impulse. But i got over that wankery style prog shit long ago.

If we're on the subject of 'don't touch me' musicians none can top Brett Michaels from Poison. Shit band, shit singer, even shittier person.
You're not allowed to look at him before going onstage. He actually makes security clear the hallways before he walks through, so I've heard.
He also gave an interview a couple of years ago on "how to properly trash a hotel room". At age 50 something. Grow up, dude. Trashing hotel rooms hasn't been cool since the Led Zepplin days for Chrissake.

Personally, I didn't like Animals... until they put out "joy of motion" that was their peak for me. Everything before and after that is weak. The latest Animals.... album is a huge disappointment. Nigga went soft like Drake.
I will be checking my PMs weekly, so you can catch me there. I will not be posting.

I haven't heard anything from them in years but it doesn't surprise me at all to hear that.
You can only play 9 minute progressive metal instrumental shit for so long before I imagine it gets as boring to play as it is to listen to.
These days, I am far more appreciative of good songwriting above all else. Instrument mastery as a pursuit in and of itself is missing the bigger picture. At least that's my opinion.

...I'm not sure if Sabaton has been posted yet. They're a power metal band that mainly glorifies epic historical battles and acts of heroism. It's about as masculine as it gets.
Zona, your post turned me on to Sabaton a while ago. I just bought my tickets to fly to Sweden for Sabaton Open Air. Thanks man!
I can't wait to hear "Shiroyama", "Resist and Bite", and "No Bullets Fly". The stories behind these songs are so cool.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Shiroyama
"The story of the Chasseurs Ardennais, whose emblem is the wild boar. A small Belgian unit of soldiers who were supposed to defend the borders and hold their ground along the K-W Line in May 1940. When the German armies, which included Rommel’s Ghost Division, approached the unit, they were supposed to retreat but due to communication failure the order never reached them. Instead they honoured their original orders, which were to defend the border at all cost. They fought so bravely and on such a large front, that they tricked the axis into believing that they were facing a force much larger than 40 rifles strong. When finally they were captured and their captors asked them -”where are the others?” they simply laughed and answered. -”There are no others, we are all!”.
The song gets its title from their motto Resiste Et Mords, in English, Resist and Bite."

"Okay (and I'm laughing now, because this is so funny), so we're A) not supposed to give you flowers, B) pay you compliments, or C) look at you. Anything else? Because I'm struggling to figure out the reason why after hearing that, I'm feeling like I'd rather get fucked in the ass by a Cape Buffalo than ever have to sit through dinner with you. Maybe you can figure it out for me. When you do, let me know. I'll be at Natasha's house."
