You're absolutely correct. 20 years of listening to obsure music, playing guitar, and experimenting with electronics tends to make me sound scatterbrained, but it all adds up in the big picture somehow.

I'm trying to get this back on topic after the Obituary rant, so I'd be interested in hearing what you think are the best bands at the Metal Fest as well... I might even be interested in the favorite bands of the guy who called me a douchebag for appreciating good sound quality.
