pureguitarfury www.garageband.com Is an excellent website for new music. A few bands I suggest you start with are Portal and Graphite Symphony. As for "stumbling" across other music, goto your favorite band(s)'s website, and behold. Because of visiting Porcupine Tree's...

pureguitarfury Yes, Porcupine tree is one of my favorite bands. I've still to give a good solid listen to the newest cd without any distractions. PT has been a huge influence on my music writing and playing. A most excellent band they are.

pureguitarfury This really depends on you as the guitarist, the type of music you play, and what feels best/natural to you. For me, I love Ibanez RG's. Some people absolutely hate them. But they work perfectly for me. I'm also a supporter of Carvin guitars. Looking to...

pureguitarfury Without petrucci, the band isn't Dream Theater. I really doubt another guitarist could fill his shoes (technically playing speaking, not speedwise and such). It blows my mind to even picture DT without Petrucci...sorry, it actually hurts my brain!

How do You Feed Your Plants??

Marja @buenavida (9984) • Sweden 30 Apr 07

When I have made tea, I often take the used tea leaves and pour water on them and give it to my flowers and plants. They seem to like it very much. How do you feed your plants??

pureguitarfury I too use tea for my plants. I'm glad to see someone else does this, as I was hoping it wasn't something odd that I just did. I also use an organic fertilizer that I picked up from lowes. My main food source however, is aquarium water. When I clean my fish...

What's your favorite driving song?

jollyjeangiant @jollyjeangiant (219) • United States 30 Apr 07

There are lots of great songs out there to drive to- that keep you awake, alert, and everything even if you're in the middle of nowhere. What's your favorite song to drive to? I'd have to say mine is "Thunder Road" by Bruce...

pureguitarfury I'd have to say that my favorite driving song would be "Becoming Insane" by Infected Mushroom. If that song doesn't get you moving and keep you alert, I don't know what will.

pureguitarfury You could try Porcupine Tree. Not too popular here in the States, but pretty big in Britain and the surrounding areas. Not to mention, my favorite band all time next to Dream Theater.

pureguitarfury Yes, I'd have to say Petrucci is the one of the best. Petrucci's technique is by far the greatest out of all "known" guitarists out there right now. Before you make any decisions though, check out Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, and Steve Morse. You'll...

pureguitarfury I'm hoping for a Six Degree's type sound...perhaps just a bit heavier as with ToT. Six Degrees has to be my favorite album, and I was a bit surprised/let-down with octavarium, so hopefully things will pick up with Systematic Chaos!

pureguitarfury Looks like you've got yourself a gecko, right off the top of my head...possibly a tokay gecko. Depends on the size. Generally tokays are anti-social and will bite if you try to grab 'em. Most the time they will hide and they're not gonna bite you unless you go...

pureguitarfury I've never seen the skunk gecko before. I have 2 African Fat Tails, both females at 2 years of age. The smaller is Tanya, the bigger Tiffany. There were reasons why I named them that...but I can't recall now :(

pureguitarfury I have 2 Female African Fat Tail Geckos. They're awesome. Both close to 2 years old. I've been wanting to breed them for a while. But since I'm back in college, it's better that I don't, b/c of the time factor.

pureguitarfury I'm currently obsessed with Progressive Rock/Metal. Bands like Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Dynamic Lights, Frameshift and the like. Older examples are Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd. Mainly technical music but still with melody. mmmm Good stuff.
