You might as well play at the show everyone else is playing at.
I enjoy having some boundaries to work within. That's why I generally don't like alternate tunings and stuff like that. I like the boundaries of regular tunings.
Generally my songs are just some riffs slung together as an excuse for a guitar solo.
It's good to have certain restrictions sometimes, but it's definitely more fun to play really loud, with distortion.
All labels are offensive in some way.
When I play a solo I'm just expressing that moment. It can go horribly wrong easily enough.
