Well I suppose it had to happen. Guitar Hero came out and – although I truly believed I wouldn’t think much of it – I loved it.
GH 2 and now 3 – fully wireless on the 360, foot up on the coffee table, throwing horns at the end of every ‘performance’.
Quick glances between songs at the dusty guitar case in the corner and memories trickling back of past on-stage glories.
Before I know it I’m searching for drummers, basists and vocalists 
Been playing with a couple of friends for a while now, writing new stuff and rehearsing – damn this is fun! Wish I knew why I left it so long before starting again!
Still – been learning some of the new stuff I’ve been listening to these days and it seems as though shit got turned up a notch with some of the riffs that bands are writing these days..
I totally remember a time when 90% of riffs I heard weren’t more than a couple of practices away from me nailing them. Now, I’m trying to learn some Lamb Of God tunes and damn, it’s hard stuff! No more getting away without using my pinky.. it’s full on, four finger, single note runs right in the middle of riffs!! That and the speed of the single and triplet/tremolo chugging is fucking insane.
Well hopefully I’ll get to play live again – nerve-racking the first few times, I remember, but ultimately fun. Keep an eye out for the flyers
