1. I listen to PX to get pumped up in the morning before I leave for work/school. It just gets me exited.
2. I'm an insane Tony Macalpine fan. I also love Derek from DT and since I heard Virgil on the first Ring Of Fire album (cuz I'm such a Tony fan) I was hooked.
3. A good permanent bass player would be someone who's not the typical prog bass player but has the chops and plays a six string. I choose Steve DiGiorgio.
4. Dream Theater, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Testament, Anthrax, Children Of Bodom, Ring Of Fire, Slayer.
5. Tony Macalpine, Yngwie Malmsteen, Greg Howe, Steve Vai, David Coverdale, David T. Chastain, Vinnie Moore, Joe Stump, George Bellas, James Murphy.
6. I'm using a 3 year old Compaq here in my room and there's an insane fast Dell in the living room here at my house.
7. I have a cable connection, super fast.
8. I plan on buying the newest most powerfull G4 Apple has and turn it into my home recording studio/Digital video suite.
9. Why yes I do

:D

1. As often as possible. At the moment, Planet X really does it for me. But a regular Planet X slot is just before I go to rehearse with my band on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. I listen to music to get me amped up, so Bitch is a good one, or Clonus.

2.All of them!

3. I'm not sure, I guess I'd like to be surprised.

4. Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, Planet X, Symphony X, LTE, Vanden Plas, Genesis, Toto, Queen and old Metallica

5. Steve Vai, Frank Gambale, Brett Garsed, Greg Howe, George Benson, Chick Corea, old Joe Satriani, Jon Finn, Marty Friedman and Derek Sherinian.

6. 600mhz Cyrix processor with a 10gb hard drive and fuck-all RAM.

7. 56k dial-up. I'm switching to cable as soon as I buy the RAM.

8. Yes

9. Pants in the uk means underwear. So, in answer to your question: I hope I never find out, man.
