Oh yeah, this :) Not the acoustic bit, we all know thats a bit 'mr humphries', but electric through a clean or hairy tweed amp for me is the greatest tone in the world. Add a big room for the natural reverb and I reckon thats where I'd like to live guitar wise, just quietly for the sake of my remaining hearing :D

I don't think any real technical ability really comes into the conversation on this. If you fucking love what you do, it comes out in your playing.

^this guy! I love the stuff I play in our band, it's all about adding texture to the songs, it's 90% my own work too, which makes it quite personal, which I dig :)

That's up to you - but I'm guessing you haven't heard them then Vince unless behind that Latin inspired acoustic bass lies a closet black metal fan:

Note: I'm not a black metal guy either so if this isn't a good DB song, apologies :p

I always wonder with those black metal drummers if they realize by doing double kick ALL THE TIME loses its punch and appeal. Probably not. Go satan.
