Co-founder and guitarist of metalcore stalwarts Darkest Hour, Mike Schleibaum has decided to stretch his creative wings that little bit wider by helping you guys out with all of your emotional problems.

Starting his new website at askthedude.net, Schleibaum will be drawing on his 13 years of touring, recording, partying and writing to provide the advice that you need to solve your latest moral dillema.

“I always try to save and answer every email I get as a band member,’ reasons Schleibaum. ‘Eventually I began to see that I could just post the answers in an advice blog or column, and well, ask the dude was born. Let’s face it, after all these years, I’ve probably made all the mistakes for you.”

If you have a question that you feel you can’t find the answer to but a heavy metal guitarist could help out on, send it in to thedude@askthedude.net
