    I absolutely love when guitar players can’t play their songs without having practiced it recently. It means they are writing things that challenge them and stretch their talent - and not just being lazy. It also proves that they are in fact human and not a robot.

      It would be cool, but Johannes has expressed his thoughts on popular bands doing cover songs. He understands why small bands do it to start somewhere, but thinks after a while it lacks creativity when bands keep doing it, like Five Finger Death Punch.

    I love that Tim listened to Avatar before he was in the band

    Love Avatar! Such a creative band. Also love seing him play my favourite ac/dc riff 4:58
    Forgot to mention that I would love to see them play My Lie from the first album. Not really a big fan of the first three albums but that riff is just amazing. Also really enjoyed them playing ready for the ride. Awesome song.

    Both great guitarists in Avatar. Also it's good to know they both have different pickup setups so they can tell who's guitar is which with both playing Ibanez Prestige lol
