Here's mine...


I'm a huge fan of The Metal but I think I'll start with some of my legendary, less angry, favorites.

Probably my favorite band of all time across all genres is Primus. I've seen them live twice, and I've seen Les Claypool live in his solo act once.

It all started with "Jerry was a Race car driver"

For those who don't know Les, fun fact: he once audition for Metallica and they denied him based solely on the fact that he is far too damn good for them.

I've seen tons of bands live (Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Korn, System of a Down, Pantera, Slipknot, Lamb of God - to name a few). But Primus is the band that showed me first hand the largest mosh pit I've ever seen, and it was to this mighty cute song:

A few thousand people went ape shit at the 1:37 mark.


I hold in high regard just about everything Claypool releases; if I had to pick a favorite song it is simply, Here Come The Bastards

I can't figure out if you're joking @BlastaMasta, but it's not really funny. You're probably being sarcastic, but it's hard to tell over text on a forum, so maybe try to cool off. Thanks.

Big FNM fan here - haven't heard the latest album yet though. Reading your recent posts I noticed you mentioning Chuck Schuldiner - dang I've put death metal behind me more than a decade ago, but I used to love his band Death. RIP indeed - he was very talented.

I don't know if you like instrumental music, but Ben Sharp's Cloudkicker act is pretty diverse and well.. good! 🙂
I'm not so fond of his early stuff, which I find too mechanical/industrial, but everything from Beacons and onward is excellent imo.

Check it out!

And if you're into the demo scene, check out Fairlight's 5 Faces demo which used one of his tracks.

That song We're goin' in. We're going down. is pretty damn fantastic.

I absolutely do love instrumentals. When I was just a youngling learning to play the guitar, I started off with Instrumentals. I have a fairly decent college of Guitar Tab publications, most by Cherry Lane Music. Including the tab for the entire "The Real Thing" album by Faith No More.

In fact, the first ever published instrumental I learned to play on the guitar - start to finish, without error - was Woodpecker From Mars by FNM:

I was 14 years old at the time. And just for funsies, I took a picture of my original tablature publication for this album, which I've kept since 1990:

After that, I graduated to mastering instrumentals from Metallica: Call of Ktulu, Orion, To Live is To Die.

Probably my biggest accomplishment was learning "For the Love of God" by Steve Vai,

I think it took me about 2 years of practice, off and on, to get through that song start to finish. I retired from learning hard shit after that lol
