Considering Mustaine's past endorsement of Rick Santorum and general conservatism, those lyrics could just as well have read OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA MOSLEM DICTATOR without losing anything of value.

dave has always been a conservative rear end in a top hat, it's just now he has obama to focus on. there's endless dumb poo poo he's said since the 80s, just now it's particularly grating

I like their first couple of albums, through Peace Sells. After that, meh. Of course that's when the whole genre gets boring.

It seems odd that I have virtually no metal in my library, I do listen to rock I guess, and some lovely indie stuff.

A lot of my musical ventures for the last year or two have been artists associated with QotSA.
Finding music is hard without a starting point I guess, and since there's so many goddamn subgenres of metal it's puzzling.

It's just an American Fender Stratocaster. Fender made a run of 50(?) each in this teal color and in red sparkle for Mars Music. They also did the same color combos for a run of Teles.

Conversely, that also means there's something for every taste out there.

Driving straight into the really extreme stuff like grindcore or brutal death metal probably isn't a good idea, but apart from that, what do you like?

These are all going to be incredibly random recommendations.

Melodic newer stuff? Symphony X might be something for you?

Stoner metal? Try Mos Generator or Saint Vitus.

Old school Swedish melodic death metal? "Slaughter of the soul" by At The Gates, "The jester race" by In Flames and "The gallery" by Dark tranquillity are the go to albums.

Borderline death core, but with actual talent? Fallujah are pretty good.

dammit, it's American too? That's pretty much exactly the Strat I've been looking for. The only way for it to be cooler would be if it had a maple fretboard

Roland's Juno DS looks pretty nice for $999, my girlfriend is like "Why can't you replace your Triton with this? " Suddenly she's complaining about how my weighted keys feel :v: I like the phrase building which I suppose isn't unique to this but I can't think of another keyboard that has it. (You'd think with the Kaossilators and Electribes this would have been something on Korg keyboards.. )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skfWntZ53C0

Roland's already discontinued their limited Boutique line (lol) and built a new module called the A01, and are including the Boutique keyboards for $400. I have the Boutique JU-06 and the keyboard for it and quite like it. If the JP-08 weren't so expensive by itself I'd pick that up too before they disappear entirely.

The explorer was cool, but if I heard right that low G# was 13Hz? Not very practical

This probably makes me some kind of retrograde rear end in a top hat, but I can't be bothered about the five-part jazz odyssey that gets written for the 24-string bass until someone writes a three-minute pop tune for it. Like, start with the basics, people.
