Ha, may as well be criticising the guitarists for playing through distorted amps ALL THE TIME...sirvill wrote:It creates a sweet background driving texture, which I think is what its going for really.kdawg2a wrote:I always wonder with those black metal drummers if they realize by doing double kick ALL THE TIME loses its punch and appeal.

The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

If everything is heavy, then nothing is heavy

Trouble is, if you start adding dynamics to metal you end up with Linkin Park. Or Limp Bizkit.druz15 wrote:If everything is heavy, then nothing is heavy

I wouldn't say either of those bands are particulary dynamic.
Sometimes (particularly on records) a less heavy guitar tone does sound heavier though, depends on the genre and how filthy you want it to sound I guess

Re: What skills do you respect most about a guitarist?
I agree completely, but it does depend on genre as you say.
I've heard the complaints about lack of dynamics in metal plenty of times, especially at the more extreme end of the metal spectrum I reside, but I don't get why some people think it should be dynamic. A breakdown or two, maybe a clean intro every now and then, otherwise brutal, fast and heavy please.

I'll have a look at the vid. I watched the one to Gateways this morning, it didn't seem like anything I hadn't heard before.willow13 wrote:at least some one got itsirvill wrote:That's up to you - but I'm guessing you haven't heard them then Vince unless behind that Latin inspired acoustic bass lies a closet black metal fan:Vince wrote: I don't get it, are they meant to be original or something?

Note: I'm not a black metal guy either so if this isn't a good DB song, apologies :p
Of course, my complete ignorance of whatever type metal that is plays its part. It might be wildly original but if all metal sounds alike to me, I'd never spot the originality.
