I remember getting to see a lot of those bands live at the inaugral Sounds of the Underground Tour (in 2005?), where I remember Lamb of God in particular closed it out in electric fashion.Īl di Meola/John McLaughlin/Paco de Lucia Those bands remained among my favorites for 2-3 years, and I still have the albums somewhere. I remember immediately buying all of this band's peer's albums, like Lamb of God, Unearth, Shadows Fall, ATR, etc. Within a week or two of joining the forums, someone introduced me to this album, and it just blew me away.

I think I heard it initially on a video game - maybe THPS? Anyways it was before powertab or guitar pro were really popular so it was one of those shitty plain text tabs that I made with a free program called InsTab I believe, where you have to listen to the song while reading it to understand the rhythm.Īt the time I joined mx, the internet was still wasting its collective time arguing about whether or not nu metal was really metal and whether or not any nu metal albums were worth saving from the garbage heap of history. I remember my guitar teacher at the time had assigned it to me as an ear training exercise to transcribe the song. Other than a 1 or 2 month span, this album was never really important to me, but it did randomly bring me to this website. I actually joined mxtabs to post a guitar tab for the song Follow off of this album. It still stands up as one of my all time favorites. As I grew up, my understanding and appreciation of this album grew with me. My favorites were the more aggressive tunes - Elite, Street Carp, Korea. At the time, I was too young to appreciate what the album was about, and rightfully so. I remember I rented it at random from the public library, along with some other albums like Silverchair's Neon Ballroom. Being a kid through the grunge era, if not for this album I never would have made the move to heavier music. This was the album that really started it all for me. He would never get tired of telling us that this album was a classic, the best thing ever, and that he couldn't wait for us to grow up and appreciate it over whatever kids music we probably listened to at the time. His dad would always be in the garage working on various projects but would always have this album playing.
When I was five or six, I would play street hockey with the neighbor living across the street of the same age. This album is one of the first musical memories I have growing up.
List is random albums I have some memory about related to this website or my musical growth in general. So, while I sit here watching the newborn, I thought I'd put together this list to express my gratitude to the community for all the value its added to my life over the years.

In that time, I've gone from being a teenager just learning the guitar, to putting out a couple of albums of my own, to going to college, to now being a professional and having an amazing family of my own. Even though I mainly lurk, I've been coming back here every few days for pretty much 16 entire years to look for new albums I might not have heard of. There are obviously the long time, prolific, regulars that I recognize and who I look to for indications as to whether or not I might like an album. Even when I made the 10 year list, most of the people I interacted with from the forums are gone, and now pretty much everyone is long gone. I wasn't going to do one of these, 16 is a weird year and I obviously didn't do 15 last year, but some of the albums out right now have me waxing nostalgic about being a young kid discovering music on here ages ago.
