Ok, I was bored so I started recording random riffs, just whatever popped in my mind at the time. Sorry if a few are sloppy, I was tired and the humidity here in Texas detunes the shit outta my guitars.
Can anyone name all 13? They're all 80's metal except for one..lol I'm not used to playing anything else.
First to name all 13 gets free lunch at Carmine's Romper Room Cafe.:woot:

Got a couple....man you are not an 80's person are ya? lol.Well, I went to 12 years of Catholic school and did not know too much about 80s metal until I got into college, where I caught up a little on the 80s stuff. To be honest with you...I was naively scared to death of Judas Priest while growing up and thought I would go to hell if I bought any of their CDs. My buddy had Priest and Black Sabbath posters on his wall and I feared for his soul. :o How naive was I??? No worries though, I am no longer afraid of Judas Priest. :rock:
Here are some more boobs for ya --> :boobies:

They all sound good so I don't think your playing has to do with it as much as the fact that we're all 20 or 30 years older does. :D

I'm 38 so I was smack in the midle of the whole late 70's, early 80's British Metal invasion and L.A. Metal scene. I was a metalhead all through High School and played in several working Metal Cover bands so my brain is hard wired for that generation.:thumb:
