I can tend to be a bit of an emotional whackjob.... :rolleyes: LOL
So highly emotional periods at either end of the spectrum usually aren't so productive for me. LOL
I tend to get more inspired by movies and/or some sort of visual stimulus. Movies, Frazetta paintings, the UFC or even Animal PLanet/Nat Geo all tend to serve as my best inspiration. Kinda cheezy perhaps, but it is mainly metal stuff that I write anyway, so......
Full on Spinal Tap mode! :p LOL
