I was huge into them In high school in the 2ks. Sounding The Seventh Trumpet got me into Metalcore/deathcore. I borrowed it off a buddy back in high school and fell in love with metalcore. I even checked out Throwdown, Poison The Well, and Bleeding Through on Limewire since they were thanked in the liner notes. As well as getting into the then new bands like TDWP, August Burns Red, BMTH etc.

On the topic of Black Sabbath, correct me if I'm wrong but I think Iommi tuned his guitar down to make it easier for him to play after he cut his fingertip off in a machine shop. I would guess the less string tension would help in that situation

@riddles610 Жыл бұрын

@EphraimIgnacio Жыл бұрын

Yeah he cut his fingertips off in a sheet metal factory incident right before leaving to tour Germany with his other band. He almost gave up music but then decided to persevere after hearing a Django Reinhardt record that his boss gave him. So he fashioned plastic fingertips and glued leather strips for traction. Sabbath’s first two albums were in standard tuning but after a couple years of constant touring Tony Iommi was in constant pain after gigs. So for the recording of Master of Reality he dropped the tuning one and a half steps down and strung his guitar with lighter banjo strings. They accidentally created sludge metal out of convenience lol

The secret to Suffer the Children by Napalm Death is that the two guitarists played the ryth. They were both unconsciously playing different riffs without nailing it. I tried recreating it with different gear so my tone was off but my playing was too tight. I mentioned that I suspected that to Mitch Harris and he laughed and said that's exactly what happened. So the whole riff is like warped and smeared which makes it sound GODLIKE. They were also not intonated the same so it sounds like a phasing chorus thing. Great video by the way. How good was Anthrax back then? CL80 celestion FTW. Guitar nrrdz like me ruined meh_ul.

I love Dream Theater and I don't play any instruments. Admittedly my brother actually got me into them and he played the drums back in the day but I never did and I still love them. Train of Thought is my favorite album of theirs, it's also considered their heaviest album, at least from their early years. If there's any Dream Theater album you might actually appreciate Finn it very well could be it, strongly recommend it for people who like the heavier metals and aren't really into prog.

I think it depends who you are dealing with. For some, a band like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden or Metallica (black album, maybe MoP) is the best place to start. For others, something like Disturbed, Linkin Park, SOAD or Avenged Sevenfold. For others, something more modern like Gojira, Parkway Drive or While She Sleeps might work better.
