I was looking at an old GFTPM magazine and I was reminded of Eric Gales. He had an awesome album out in 91! His last album was in 2001. I doubt any one remembers him, but the thing is:

He was right handed - played left handed - with the low strings on the bottom...

That's twisted...

:lol:

It seems to me it would take away all the fun of power chords. Can't you imagine a punk band? "Yeah man, we only play upstrokes. Downstrokes are for wussies!" :?

Imagine the possibilities, especially with drop D tuning... You could end up creating the first metal-ska band! :wink:
