are you cool with jamming or just giving lessons and guitar advice to people at your place?

Yes, I am :)
If you wanna chill or jam, just gimme a call or message me on facebook, anything will do.

Before you get pissed, I just want you to know that this is a genuine question and I'm not trying to mock and disregard your choice of music. What's the thing about metal which makes you such a die-hard fan in spite of people hating it? What do you like about the music?

Firstly - I really appreciate your curiosity and I'm glad you asked :)
There are a LOT of things that I love about Metal. For starters, as a guitarist, I find the riffs and solos to my taste. There are many sub-genres of metal and to go into why I like each of them would be a waste of time. So all I can tell you now is that I love the rush and energy that Metal delivers. It may sound like "noise" to others but to me and others like myself, it's a source of energy which is never exhausted. Every time I listen to Metal, it brings the same excitement - it's got that heavy, crushing and lethal excitement - which no one other form of music has succeeded in. And then there's metal which isn't "heavy", "crushing" or "lethal" and that's usually more about technicality (doesn't imply that the others aren't).
Then there's the themes which bands adopt either for the band as a whole or just for an album and these themes are pretty different and curious and the theme combined with the music brings a COMPLETELY different experience to the listener. And for your information, Metal isn't all about gore, death, satanism and everything utterly disgusting. It deals in stuff such as history, folklore, the human mind, consciousness, the universe, nature, and regular story telling among other things.
So yeah, that's the gist of it. Ultimately, when it comes to Metal, "you either feel it or you don't". And if you don't, then you probably may never understand "why".

Warbringer, Lich King, Violator, Evile or Havok?

WARBRINGER! Right on top :D
Not that big a fan of Lich King and Violator.
And I love Evile and Havok.

If you're selling one of your electric guitars, I wanna be the first to know.

I doubt I'll be selling my electrics. Ever. And I don't even know who you are. But okay, I'll sell it to anon.

is it true that you kicked dushyanth out of the band?

I did no such thing. Feel free to ask him about it, if you wish.

where do you go for guitar classes?

I stopped going for classes almost 3-4 years ago. My other classes too weren't that helpful so I didnt stick to one.

I see you going to college every morning in your red car. And you don't even know me. I feel like such a stalker xD

Next time, don't be afraid to shout out my name and wave xD

you and Lahar are close?

Not really. He's at Indiranagar and I'm at Brookefields.
But yeah, we're really close :)
