Oh of course. I could never get mad at an instrument. Especially my own guitar haha. Usually the more difficult and confusing it gets the more I want to play guitar.

I recently started to learn guitar. I mostly know acoustic stuff and just recently got to the point where I can play stuff like In Dying Days by As Blood Runs Black. I'm also just starting to grasp the concept of music theory, scale theory, arpeggios, etc.

Haha I know right? Especially when they start choking when they realize that they're drinking apple juice instead of liquor.

Will do. Now Iced Earth and Nevermore are bands I definitely know. I don't know if they're still together but you ever listened to White Wizzard? They have some pretty awesome vids, especially one called Over the Top.

There's quite a few I haven't heard of but I'm checking out some now andI like Sinbreed and Serenity so far. The last time I listened to power metal a buddy of mine started to play Manowar out of nowhere. Man, these power metal bands make me want ride a noble steed and slay dragons haha.

I haven't really seen many European bands but I did see Obscura once in 2010. TBDM headlined it and it was an awesome show as well.
