I think brad should start to show his talent for a bit here...something that should stand out like TLTGYA or faint outro.
From my understanding, brad should start playing intros-outros-interludes in STUDIO ALBUMS, not live, so he cant be criticized as a "bad" or "n00b" player.
Guitar wise, for his type of playing, he should start using Schecter Guitars, a good example is this C-1 Custom:::
Why?
it has literally everything, Seymour Duncan JB Pick-ups, 24 frets and a Floyd rose..which brings me to another story here...
Why cant brad use more elements for his guitar like a tremolo? that would be epic!
Gah..im going off topic...long story short....MTM was sure the most revealing of brads talent, but lets wait on the new one.
