It has taken music out of the hands of the pulishers and distributors and allowed the artists to market their work directly. It's a good thing.

Yes if the agreement was right for me..

Van Halen, Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Dream Theatre, Rob Zombie, Rammstein, Static-X. These are my particular flavors but I like all styles of music. I'm not really into music that has more emphasis on image than the music itself.

Hobart!

Ibanez, Yamaha, Line6, Marshall, Fender, Steinberg, Native Instruments... and other stuff.

I believe art is important, people are creative by nature. Yes music is a business and that's good but more importantly, music transcends business. Human creativity is a reflection of God's nature. In every people group on earth music is central to the celebration of life and community.
