    How to gain parents respect for my musical tastes

    I love my parents, they aren't as bad as I probably made them sound. It's just on the topic of music where they are superstitious

    How to gain parents respect for my musical tastes

    I've had my license and have literally never gotten into trouble but apparently I still can't make my own decisions. Thanks for your story, I feel less alone now.

    How to gain parents respect for my musical tastes

    They like today's country and Christian contemporary which are to bland for me to handle. There's absolutely zero tension of release in these genres. Also, give death metal a try. Some of it is garbage, but some of it is incredible, especially the more progressive stuff. Try Serenity Painted...

    How to gain parents respect for my musical tastes

    First of all, I'll say that I consider myself to be a metalhead as its been the primary music I have listened to for a number of years. I love its power, the cathartic affect I get when I listen to it after a rough day, it's beauty, it's technicality, the metal community and the fact that it...

    Do you think Intransigent is a good name for a metal band

    We're a thrash/progressive metal band so I think it's fitting since it's a synonym for uncompromising which I think sums up the metal community. What do you guys think? Is it br00tal enough?

    Give me direction in my amp purchasing journey

    So I'm in a progressive/thrash band that I recently created with some friends. I'm playing on a 30 watt roland cube which I don't think is really cutting it. It gets distorted at loud volumes and I just want something that will lead me to be more prepared when (or if) my band gets gigs. One...

    Replacing a broken nut?

    Well yesterday I got the nut in. I took the one a bought and glued it to my old broken one so I could get it equal to the original. I used an exacto knife and sandpaper to shave it down. The one I bought was flat on the bottom but I had I give it a curve to fit the radius of the neck in the...
