MARTY FRIEDMAN Has Nothing Against 'Flashy' Guitar Playing: 'I Just Wanna Be Excited By What I Hear'

In a new interview with Bradley Hall, Marty Friedman explained why he isn't too keen on listening to guitarists who play fast just for the sake of it. The former MEGADETH guitarist said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I'm not at all against anything flashy in the slightest. I just wanna be e...

1/ « We need to understand the origins of the Trump blitzkrieg to #counter it in the US and #prevent it from spreading abroad. The speed of the attack can be traced to Trump strategist and “accelerationist” Steve Bannon, and aligns with his information warfare tactic to “flood the zone” to #confuse, #disengage and #disorient. Whether on climate or Covid, rumours, lies and conspiracy theories create a chaotic #cacophony, leaving the public disoriented, fearful and prey to oversimple Trumpist messages: blame the woke, migrants, transgender people, Muslims, doctors, scientists. Musk’s purchase of Twitter/X supports Bannon’s agenda. Â» —

Trump and Musk have ushered in the era of cataclysm capitalism. But I have a plan to counter it

The speed with which US democracy is being dismantled is dizzying, but if we organise resistance now we can stop this, says Julia Steinberger of the University of Lausanne

my barbarian kenku, Cacophony!
hulking and intimidating, he's a bird of few words, tending to prefer direct action over talking it out. talking is a bit overrated for kenku... in their language, tiny gestures and vocalizations convey just as much, if not more, than words do.
it goes without saying he's the stud of his flock. I love my big buff bird man

Hi!

Just found your profile and I'm curious about your music

As you said you would like to interact with other musicians, you can check out my stuff, too

I do a kind of audio collages using elements from various #Metal subgenres along with electronic, #ambient and #DungeonSynth based stuff, sometimes it's just #noise, #cacophony and chaos such as #HarshNoiseWall aka #Krachkern

My profile for that is @azugm (I also post songs here sometimes)

azugm is also on #Bandcamp

Greets

#TuneTuesday #YouAndMe

As @yourfutureex wants songs written for someone on the fediverse, I made one for @vantablack

Absurd audio collage based on my love to #HarshNoiseWall (aka #Krachkern ) #Noise #Weirdcore and #Cacophony in general

I modified two of Vanta's videos in #Audacity (I played around with sound effects and I copied and mixed parts)

Only addition were audio samples for the lyrics:
"gender terrorist vantablack"

Title refers to Vanta's display name

See my profile for more music

!!! PLEASE BOOST !!!

A proudly degenerated, satirical #HarshNoiseWall #Cacophony #Krachkern song by my project azugm, called "SĂ€kerhetspolisen 666 (Tanz unter der Glocke)"

Direct and easter-egg-like #satire on a certain Nazi / NS #BlackMetal band

Also addressing the conspiracy theory of 'Nazi UFOs' to expose this scene's ridiculousness

I just realized you can dance to it, therefore the title ("dance under the bell")
