Redemption City - Corrosion Of Conformity

Sugar - System Of A Down

What's the exciting way to practice scales?

Holy crap, why didn't I think of that? I freaking love that song. I'll be on that in the morning.

Mother - Danzig

Nazi punks f**k off - Dead Kennedys

Have you not discovered Nintendocore yet? Or Dinosaur metal?

Brain Stew - Green Day

☝️☝️ What he said. Stranglers have some fantastic bass lines, all great to play with a pick. If you're not in to punk, forget their punk association, they're nothing like the Pistols. They're just a brilliant rock band.

Scales may be incredibly dull but 10 minutes practicing them at the start of a session will help strengthen your joints and get you moving. If you really want to increase the boredom, try arpeggios as well.

That's true, I forgot about that. Fast for the picking hand but the fret hand doesn't do a lot.

Due to a case of golfers elbow (I've never played golf) I'm finding it quite painful to play anything fast which gets the fretting hand busy. While I can play through the pain, it's not good for recovery. Any recommendations for metal songs which don't get the fret hand moving too fast but are still interesting? I've been trying some Down this morning but the fast fills make my forearm feel like it's about to burst open.

Forever Failure - Converge

Gay rude boys unite - Leftover Crack

No - Subhumans

It seems I'm seeing in the new year with a glass of Highland Park and Family Guy. Couldn't ask for better really.

Piggy - Nine Inch Nails

Rubbernecker - Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs

Redneck - Lamb Of God

Sweet young thing ain't sweet no more - Mudhoney Do I get double points for this one?

I've always seen New York hardcore as a completely separate genre to British punk because its so completely different. Were The Jam even a punk band? I thought they were new wave / pop. Maybe it would be simpler to just categorise music as good music or bad music.

Sheep shagger - Billy Connolly

You handsome bastard. My face looks like a melted wax work of Gordon Brown's uglier brother. Then there's the smell....

I already had an Orange Terror 500w with 4x10 which has uprated Eminence speakers. I was running a Two Notes Le Bass preamp in the effects return to bypass the Orange preamp. I thought it sounded great.

I can't decide whether to do pink torpedo all, f**k all, bugger all or just stay I and do nothing. The last two years were nothing to celebrate and I doubt this one will be any better
