And so today he says to me "That Devin's solo material was pretty bad. I checked a couple of songs from youtube and they did nothing... SYL is a lot better" All I could say was "too bad"
It does make me a bit frustrated though. I think that for a metal fan, the solo material just takes so much more time and dedication to understand. It's a bit unfair to go to youtube, play a clip and go like "nah, this doesn't work"... But well, tastes are different and stuff... So what can I do? Let those who prefer SYL do so. I guess I should be happy he atleast enjoys one aspect of his music.
If it really was only a "couple" of songs, I'd ask which particular songs he tried to listen to. As Devin's material is so varied, only listening to two songs is definitely an incomplete representation of the rest of the music. Based on that, you could recommend some other choices: e.g., Earth Day is usually an instant hit with metal fans
