I've actually never recorded any of my playing.

 

I stopped playing for almost 15 years (make that 20 years) and Lou has just gotten me all fired up about it. Maybe when I finish a couple of songs that I'm writing I'll have her record me playing them.

 

:eek:

 

Dont do it....

 

You will become a youtube sensation.

 

 

 

BTW. My wife is watching something an they are talking about you tube. And vicoden makes me feel buzzed..

i like metallica and i agree that they aren't like they used to.

 

Slayer is still better and IMO will always be.

 

 

Slayer was and will always be better. Slayer does not have a worst album as of yet. Since 1982 they have been ridiculously heavy, and have not lost touch with their roots.

 

I've always wanted to ask, but never did.

 

A back ground to me. I'm not a stranger to hard rock or *more mainstream* heavy metal. I love stong guitar, drums and strong vocals. I've beena Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica etc etc fans since I was in my early teens. Having said that:

 

What is so good about anything heavier than the bands I've mentioned? You lose the melody, you lose the rythmn, you lose the music. To me it's just a lot of noise...and you have to understand I am pretty open minded when it comes to music.

 

To me? I just don't see the appeal of Motorhead, Slayer etc etc. I've listened to them all.

 

To me there need to be melody first, then brains, rythmn, etc all in equal parts. Without melody I find it hard to describe as music.

 

So I mean this as an honest question...what is the appeal?

 

R.

 

 

It's really hard to describe honestly, but I tend to agree with you mostly. I believe we have similar backgrounds and grew up during the same musical age where "THE RIFF IS KING!!" more or less, so I can understand your question.

 

I didn't really get into anything heavier than Metallica and Megadeth until I picked up Pantera's "Far Beyond Driven" album and I only did that because Dime was popping up in tons of guitar magazines and so I HAD to check him out to see what the buzz was about.

 

With Pantera, if you peel away Phil's screaming, there is some really interesting guitar work going on there. As for the really heavy stuff bopping around now days, honestly the only thing I listen to that is new(er) is Demon Hunter. My staples are still Maiden, Priest, and Iced Earth (Maiden lite, heh).

Hmm.. well for ME. (This is my opinion)

 

1. the energy. A slayer live show in a medium sized club can not be rivaled. It is just intense.

 

2. Lyrics. Read the lyrics from the reign in blood album. The stuff they tackle is quite disturbing. The song "Angel of Death" is about Joseph Mengela, and Auswitz. (I know I probably spelled that wrong)

 

3. Slayer has some of the greatest metl riffs I have ever heard. It is a total spit in the face if you have ever learned methods of guitar playing. Lessons cant teach the style.

 

4. The drummer of slayer is infinitely talented. The guy makes anything Metallica ever played look like fat kids running laps in gym class.

 

5. BREAKDOWNS !!!! Its more associated with the Hardcore scene, but hardcore kids love slayer. Slamdancings is for , dancing at a hardcore show (not old skool) is surprisingly difficult. Something special about throwing the "philly roll" during a slayer breakdown.

 

"Philly Roll" Looks like you are hopping on one foot to one side while running your fists in a horizontal spin, throw some giant windmills, keep the heavy momentum from windmill and let loose about 10 roundhouse kicks. Sounds really weird , kinda fun to watch people block hands and fists attacking them.

 

Slayer has some flat out DESTRUCTIVE riffs. And ya, breakdowns....well, there is just something about em...heh.

Breakdowns are my favorite part of music. Slow and chuggy with crash cymbal and double bass.

 

But I hate breakdown bands. They just play it out. Its only special if it is only 30 seconds of one song.

Keep practicing. People shouldnt cry when you start playing..

 

 

Im kidding BTW. I have a song I wrote when I was with my horror punk band that every time I ever played it people cried. I ditched that one, and stuck with the pure rock'n'roll song about necrophelia.

Aye /agree

 

It's kind of like over-using pinch harmonics, Zakk. Or killing a Wah pedal, Kirk.

Hmm dont listen to black label, and gave up on metallica. But early Venom has just the right amount of pinch harmonics, and John Christ was good with that stuff when he was in Danzig.

 

Lamb Of God likes to abuse them. But I still like the band.

 

And people still use a wah pedal.

How can you knock a band with a name like Cradle Of Filth?

 

Anyway, I only ever listen to Thrash, Death and above all Norwegian Black Metal. I like bands that do songs which have only one relentlessly chugging riff where the singer incoherently growls and all the songs are indistinguishable from one another. :cloud9:
