my monster album is Blind Guardian's Nightfall in Middle Earth. it's personally my favortie album of all time as well as probably their biggest one. not that i care, but it's called the greatest power metal album ever. titles like those are nice, but they don't make an album "monster" being mainstream and selling a ****load of an album doesn't make them monster either. how many people would say that N'Sync's albums are monster. they went platinum.


to me a monster album, is one you can listen to for hours on end and ten or twenty years from now people will be still talking about it. it defines the group or the genre and is overall really special. of course everyone can have their own "monster" albums and that'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.
