SnakePool said:If I have my iPod with me I put on some Joe Satriani - satch boogie, surfing with the alien or summer song. I am probably the biggest metalhead you will know(7600 metal songs on a 60gb iPod) but if it is too fast or heavy my game gets a little off. Steve vai or Yngwie Malmsteen are other good choices. Other people like it because there's no words and they don't get tortured with my singing...LOL
You and I would get along well!! I love Satch, Vai, Petrucci, Gilbert, Friedman etc. I have about 7,000 songs on my iPod. I agree that listening to Lamb of God or Killswitch Engage would throw my game off. Some good Metallica, Megadeth, Testament, or Exodus is just perfect for me.
If it were me though, I'd want Metallica's Welcome Home Sanitarium. One of the best songs ever written.
