English translation of "Kuolema tekee taiteilijan" (From Nightwish forum) Death Makes An Artist Only once I could see my dream Didn't feel the smallness under the stars Once I got bars in my cradle As a prisoner I write a letter from there My Lord, to you, let me become what my child thinks I am In ...

While I enjoyed both a lot, I think Part I had a slight advantage for me, so it gets my vote.

Definately a step in the right direction from the band. Tolkki really showed a great attitude by doing this, and hopefully, Koti will have a good attitude about it as well. I'm still hoping everything gets back to normal with Strato.

Petrucci, easily. He's been my favorite guitarist for a LONG time now.

Cool, I'll give it a try. One other question for you: what EQ settings do you have on your amp? (Treble, Mid, Bass, etc)

mt-2 metal distortion!!

I hate my MT-2. I've never been able to get a decent sound out of it. Any suggestions on what settings to use to get a good sound (both on the pedal, and on the bass/mid/treb equalizer on an amp)?

Schecter Diamond Series C-1 (Silver, with DiMarzio Evolution Pickups) is my main guitar. I also own a crappy Black Ibanez GRX20 that I never use anymore.
