Although I can't find a pic of me in high school when I had really long hair, here is a pic of Vadim from Dragonforce and I hanging out after the show here in OKC, OK:

 

 

Here's a video of my brother and I playing a song we wrote called "Bound by Fate". This was shot during one of our jam sessions.

 

 

Here's another video of me playing one of my warm up riffs

 

 

I love listening to metal while I write software. Right now I'm listening to Cemetery Gates - Pantera

"Heavy metal or no metal at all wimps and posers leave the hall
Heavy metal or no metal at all wimps and posers go on get out
Leave the hall"

Rock 'n' roll at it's self indulgent best...

Thanks I'd forgotten about Rush, in my teens I wore out my copy of 2112.

 

Music with a message...

 

Today in Athens

Muse

This one is for Near-Death Webmaster

I wore that album out and Hemispheres. Lyrically, I rank Peart with Waters at clever, conceptual writing. They make a complex, sophisticated noise for a three piece rock band.

 

The Trees is a great political tune:

 

 

La Villa Strangiato is a good showcase for their composing and playing skills.

Donna Summers' I Feel Love is cool slowed down:

 

 

Here it is stretched to 44 minutes:

 

Another fine example...

 

Not sure which is more unusual the Compressorhead version with robots actually playing - or Lemmy singing softly

 

Just give it a try. Don't judge the cover. Make sure to listen to the whole song. If you've experienced the climax the way you think it should be experienced, let me know

Frankly it just made me realise why they pay John Williams so much. It was pretty formulaic - not impressed; what were you looking for in it?

John Mayall! woaw that is a very ancient memory.

 

Who?
