Hey, I'm Matt. I live in Boynton Beach/Lake Worth Florida, it sucks down here. For me, as a musician, to live where I is kind of difficult, but there are far worse places out there. I'm probably one of the only extreme metal players/listeners in my area, I've met one other guy but he was a dick and snobby just like the rest of the people here, all he cared about was his image and not about the music.
It feels good to know that there are people out there, and on this site that share my strong, strong connection and passion for music, it's nice. It's also nice to see actual players and not posers like the people I'm used to seeing in my area. I'm tired of seeing people play just because they can or to pick up chicks or to look cool. I don't see that much on this site and I think it's really cool.
I mostly listen to the extreme sides of metal, but I also listen to softer stuff. I've grown a lot of respect for metal when i started playing guitar. When I first started playing I listened to a little bit, mostly like hair metal bands because of my father, but I slowly started getting into heavier stuff like Disturbed, Korn and Slipknot, and that turned into Thrash, and then to Black and Death metal, etc.
I got my first guitar Christmas 2005. I played it for like a week and gave up. When I started learning, it was unlike anything I ever tried to learn it was HARD! I gave up for like a good year, occasionally playing just because I felt bad that it was sitting in my corner colle

You would think that music as its self would be appreciated as a whole and not singled out or excluded for what makes it different. When people say they love music, do they really? Or are they just saying "I love Alternative Rock." Music is a gift, a gift more people should learn how to appreciate as a whole. Hell, who am I kidding. I'm just that teenager in the eyes of the adults and the kid who's full of himself to my peers. But you know what? I don't think so. I think we were all put on this planet for a reason, every single one of us. I believe there is a reason for everything that happens in my life, good or bad, it is what shapes me as a person. I've come to learn that even the littlest of things can change a person, for good or for bad. It seems like everyday that I learn more about myself, and life. I can't predict my future, I can only trust what has been chosen for me. I can only guess what will happen tomorrow or the next day. But ultimately my destiny will only keep my guessing. Right now I can only go with the flow.
