u use an sg for metal?

He obviously hasn't heard of the Godfather of metal- Tony Iommi. Or Daron Malakion of S.O.A.D, Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden, Carlos Cavazo of Quiet Riot, Chino Marino of Deftones... or any of the hundreds of other well-known guitarists who use them for metal.

Are those two halves of that sentence related? Are you saying that Iron Maiden are nu-metal?

In all the footage from the making of their newest album Adrian is playing an SG. I have never seen them using Deans. Are you calling I.M nu-metal?

a guitar is a guitar as far as im concerned,its probably better if you use something outside the square .....i also have an 87 usa bcrich ironbird custom and a jackson sl1- they all sound and feel different.neal moser(ex bc rich and current mcs builder/owner)plays country on his hellish pointy metal axes....

Meh, don't be sorry. When you have Slipknot playing Telecasters then you start to realise that you can put a hot pickup in anything and play metal with it.

And vice verssa, so to speak. I used to play the jangly, upbeat-lowish gain new-wave/indie rock stuff I play with an Explorer, which looked super kooky in a genre dominated often by strats and Teles.

very true. we should state the guitar cleches now.

sharp/ ponty jacksons = metal
strats - everything except metal
anythin ibanez - 99% shred
les paul - les pauls can do anything it seems
deans - metal
esp - metal
teles - anythin bogan
prs - i have no clue?
prs thru a dual rec - punk/emo
sg - rock

anything else ive left out?

erm.... teles should be maybe just 'anything', they're pretty popular in many circles.

i don't think it really matters what sort of axe you play for whatever style. as long as you like the sound and feel of it, who gives a shit.

these are not my opinions, these are just what the majority would think, but you would be right on the tele, in slipknots case.
