    15 years ago I worked out at a strongman gym, the owner always put on Hammerfall when he arrived.
    He used steroids and amphetamines, so no one dared to change the music.

    You guys might like the first Galaktikon album. It's Brendan Small, the Metalocalypse/Dethklok guy, but don't let that dissuade you, their first album has some sweet licks with clean rock vocals, with an epic space theme, definite power-metal vibes.

    (They have a second album too but Small went back to Nathan Explosion cookie-monster vocals on some songs, not my taste anymore sorry dude.)

        Sorry, to clarify--people do like him, but I just meant don't assume that Galaktikon is a "parody cartoon band" like Dethklok, the first Galaktikon album is a solid offering and stands on its own. I first knew Small as the "Home Movies" guy, great to see him out there as a first-rate rock musician too.

        Hard to imagine. I know a former touring bassist who tells stories of soaking his hands in ice buckets after rock gigs (occasionally bleeding even with years of callouses). There's gotta be a whole therapy regimen for guarding against RSI with these guys doing extended double-bass drum blasts.

            Guitar, piano and bass here. Recently got into actually playing bass properly with fingers and recording some power metal tracks, my fricking god. I can tremolo pick for semi-quavers at 200BPM all day long, do all sorts of cool alternate picking patterns and play some fairly hard Beethoven stuff on piano, but just keeping a constant rhythm with fingers on a bass playing quavers along a 180bpm song is a workout and a half.

                No courses as such. If your theory is already good then piano should basically make sense, just start playing some songs you want to play and look at some videos for wrist position (really important to to not strain them) and ways to finger scales properly etc then you should be able to go from there.

                If your theory isn't great then some grade books could help.
