1. Love, Love, LOVE Testament.

My son and I are going to see them in Raleigh next month. 🤘🤘

Alex is a killer guitarist. If you’re not into heavy/thrash metal, he has his own side project; a Jazz band called the Alex Skolnick Trio.

2. metal is 10 trillion times better than jazz...to me at least

3. Just finished his auto-biography

Didn't realize he had gotten this political. Good guy, great musician. His book was really good on a "human level" talking about his issues through life. Its over ten years old at this point but it was a good read. Literally finished it Friday.

4. i reccomend

the Lamb Of God's guitarist's book "Desolation", if you're into metal books. it's tragic but beautiful

6. I'm doing musicians in general

Before Alex, I finished Darius Rucker, Steve Gorman(Black Crowes drummer), Stevie Van Zandt(one of the best books I have read), Bruce Dickinson and a few others. I'm on Sammy Hagar and have Scott Ian to go. I'll consider "Desolation" once I finish those.

Thanks!

7. another good is Serj Tankian's recent autobiography

he talks about System Of A Down's journey but also politics and Armenian issues

i pace around the room all day listening to non fiction audiobooks. well not exactly all day but a lot of the time! lol a lot of those are about music! i've had Bruce Dickinson's audiobook for ages, but haven't gotten the time for it!

8. I found Bruce Dickinson's to be a little tedious to read

Due to the fact that he is British and uses a lot of slang that I was not exactly familiar with. That combined with the fact that he grew up in England made it little hard to relate to. Otherwise, he is an interesting person and tells some good stories. Its mostly about him rather than Maiden.
