i've noticed that when people talk about great songwriters, they never mention Steve Harris, maiden's main lyricist. He explores the darker side of the lyrical spectrum. in my opinion, he's up there with Robert Plant and Roger Waters. Just listen to songs like the Trooper, Run to the Hills, and others. He's great.
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

Actually, you have a good point there.
