      A crap-load of questions is no prob. A load of crap questions is less likely to be answered.

          Okay, here goes...

          Megadeth or Metallica?

          Are The Beatles really the best band of all time?

          If you could only listen to one band's discography, which band would you choose?

          Les Pauls, pickguard or no?

          Mesa, Marshall, Vox, or Fender? amps-wise.

          Telecasters, trash or treasure?

          What was the happiest moment of your life?

          Saddest moment?

          Religious beliefs? If you care to share.

          Favorite color?

          Favorite sport/physical activity?

          What song describes your life best? Youtube link if possible, please.

          What is your best personality trait?

          What is your worst personality trait?

          Rock or Rap?

          That's all for now.

            I try to go snowboarding but that's been on hold since Mini-Me was born. I like to read and tinker with tech. At the gym I play some squash (getting hurt too often, though ) and do pilates. I run a fantasy football league and try to keep up on the Broncos and Army Football. Been a Broncos season ticket holder since '96.

            Megadeth. I find Metallica to be fatiguing to listen to.

            I really dislike the use of the term "best", especially on things music-related and particularly on intarwebs discussion sites. Ain't no such thing as a best band. Only what speaks most profoundly to a particular individual.

            I do think that they were brilliant songwriters, though. I've had "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" stuck in my head since I was at Guitar Workshop four weeks ago.

            As with "best", I'm not a big fan of "only one" discussion either because for me it tends to emphasize flexibility over quality and that's not really the way I roll. For example, the short answer to your question would be Led Zeppelin but that's because their catalog is the most varied, not because they're my favorite band. That honor would go to Pink Floyd. I'm also a Queensryche fan going back to '81 but a decade full of stinky releases has relegated them more to "stuff I used to listen do".

            I'm more of a PRS Singlecut guy so I suppose that would put me in the "no pickguard" camp.

            Despite having gone through my share of gear, I've only owned Fender (Hot Rod Deluxe) out of that list. I had a stock one and now one an Omega-modded one.

            If I'm getting my overdrive from pedals, I'd say Fender. If pedals aren't allowed, I'd take Mesa.

            There's a saying that people either love cilantro or hate it. I'm one of those odd folks who can either take it or leave it.

            I bring this up because I'm kind of lukewarm on Teles. I don't dislike 'em like I do Strats and rather like the MIM ash Tele I own but wouldn't describe it as "treasure". They're useful guitars and surprisingly versatile but not my favorite tool for pursuing my musical vision.

            Probably the day we brought my son home from the hospital. It was a difficult pregnancy and homecoming meant that both mother and son were doing okay.

            When my grandfather died. We were very close.

            Probably best described as Christian who hasn't yet found a church that fails to bug me. I'll just leave it at that.

            Blue.

            Squash or snow sports. If I had the time, money, location, I'd probably say surfing.

            Dunno if any song could do it justice. It's a work in progress that's had its share of twists, turns, ups and downs. I wouldn't say it's extraordinary--I just think that it's hard to effectively distill most lives into a song.

            Sense of humor

            Impatience

            Rock. As with hair metal, rap has too much posing and not enough music for my taste.

                Not so much. Bear in mind that I was just a few months shy of 40 and married 8 years when I became a father. My attitudes about family were pretty well established long before Mini-Me came on the scene. Certain behaviors have certainly changed (e.g., cut out most cursing at home--at least when he's around) but I think my world view is pretty well intact. Having him around tended to validate my outlook rather than challenge it.

                    Is this a reference to the little web site I put together six or seven years ago?

                    I did that back in the days of the original PRS Forum. There was a lot of "Who's this guy Ed Roman and why is he such a PRS hater?" The guys who ran the forum preferred not to address him or his misinformation on the actual forum site so I put together a few choice pieces of info about him.

                    It's interesting to watch his site over time and see how some things that he once sold (e.g., PRS & McNaught guitars) go from being the bees knees to utter crap. On the other hand, some stuff he currently sells (e.g., import guitars) were the subject of many rants but now are the best thing since sliced bread. Notice a pattern here?

                    When you get right down to it, I don't really need to say anything about him because his actions speak for themselves. I don't lose any sleep over what he says or does because most reasonably intelligent folks can sniff out his BS.
