[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think you are.

[MRDuCran]

Same thing.

[I'm Charming]

Am I the n00b in that lawl?


No. The people who don't know how to save a video.

Lets lawl together @ them! :p :p :p :p

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Did anyone read where cob was going to release another album similar to Hatebreeder

[Sleepy]

Mega-lawl at teh silly n00bs.

They damned well better. If they release another AYDY or even Hate Crew Deathroll I will be disgusted beyond words.

Easy there. Save that disgust for the next n00b. Perhaps next time, they won't know how to Copy + Paste. :cool:

[repcak]

well, when ppl don't talk off-topic this thread is dying :lol:

off-topic/guitar-related: i just started practising rhythm-parts; i never thought this will be so hard :(

[MRDuCran]

What song?

[repcak]

What song?
no song; i took some rhythm exercises from insaneguitar and some from other sites. if you want i can upload them... i have tabbed it on GP. but its nothing special... beginner rhythm exercises :D

[AA-12]

If you want to be good at rhythm, play some Meshuggah.

[Shadows]

Hey Ben?
Yes?

[repcak]

Meshuggah... lol

Iced Earth has some amazing riffs and rhythms... i just checked them out today, cause i read it on insaneguitar.com that they are good. nice stuff!

[MRDuCran]

I like playing Bodom rhythms, as well as Lamb of God, some of theirs are tricky.

The verse riff for Silent Night, Bodom Night is harder than most people think. It's triplets, most people I've seen play it just pick as fast as they can.

Ooo Necrophagist, repcak knows them!!

[Invicta_Veritas]

If you want to be good at rhythm, play some Meshuggah.


READ: If you want to be good at playing an 8 string guitar, but only using two of the strings and playing the same riff in different ways in a dozen different time signatures to bore people as much as possible, play some Meshuggah.


Don't get me wrong, I love Meshuggah, but that's not really the mark of a good guitarist.........

I love early Meshuggah... Destroy Erase Improve is like God.

[AA-12]

Meshuggah... lol

What's wrong with them?
Yes?
Just seeing if you wanted to ask me something.

EDIT for BRA: Thanks for countering a point I never tried to make.

[Sleepy]

Ooo Necrophagist, repcak knows them!!

Necrophagist owns face. Lots of face.

Chaosphere owns DEI.

[Shadows]

Ugh, I hate what little I've heard of Meshuggah.

[Sleepy]

Ugh, I hate what little I've heard of Meshuggah.

I don't necessarily hate it, but it's not my favorite music in the world.

[Invicta_Veritas]

Haha, refer to my last post......

[Shadows]

I don't necessarily hate it, but it's not my favorite music in the world.
One album I've heard fits that idea, but the other is on my list of the few metal releases I genuinely hate.

[Sleepy]

Which album would that be?

[Shadows]

I

Not an album, but I loathe it just the same.

[Shred Danson]

One Meshuggah song is more than enough for me. Blegh.

[Invicta_Veritas]

First Meshuggah I bought was Catch 33, and I thought it was somewhat interesting, but rather boring after a while.....then I bought I and Nothing.........Nothing caught my attention.

Just picked up destroy Erase improve and i swear it owns everything else i've heard from that band thus far........awesome album

I didn't mind Destroy Erase Improve. I thought Nothing and I were rather boring, though.

[AA-12]

I is probably my favorite followed by DEI.

[Shadows]

Contradictions Collapse & None wasn't very good either, partially because I found it disturbing that the vocals were exactly like James Hetfield.

[Invicta_Veritas]

destroy erase improve was very static X --y I thought, but not too much..........

[I'm Charming]

Nothing > Catch 33> the rest

[Invicta_Veritas]

DEI>Nothing>I>Catch 33

havent heard anything else.


^^^^notice the time progression.......they get worse as time goes on......

[Shattered_Future]

I liked CC&N. It's a bit easier to listen to...but it kinda IS disturbing that it sounds almost like an oddly time framed Metallica.

I'm personally a big fan of I.

[I'm Charming]

What happened to the thread..................no off topic posting... Where is everyone?

Dicuss the pros & cons of having a pet chimp!

[Shadows]

Con: the thing would make a big ****ing mess everywhere
Pro: you could ask chicks to pet your monkey without being seen as perverted

I like I too.. definitely not as much as I used to though. I can see where people might not like Meshuggah. I was into them very early in my musical development (even before Sum 41), so I've never really compared them to other metal bands. They're still kings of modern metal as far as I'm concerned.

You'd hope bananas were frequently on sale. haha.

I would feed it other things. Like baking soda and raw sushi.

Talk about a chick maget though. If you think a puppy would attract the ladies try a chimp!


Toaster: Didn't you need to ask me something on MSN? I'm on now.

HCD wasn't that bad
i say they release another something wild cd
that cd really grew on me
red light in my eyes pt. II is amazing

[repcak]

What's wrong with them?

its nothing wrong with them; the "lol" meant that you are right! meshuggah is technically amazing, though i don't like them.


Ooo Necrophagist, repcak knows them!!
:thumb:

[Invicta_Veritas]

Ok, people, I created a Meshuggah thread to get the discussion out of this and other threads. Use it.

[I'm Charming]

Meh. It's official. I can't and won't deal with that damn guitar.

I was perfectly calm and relaxed ftr.

I tried to put strings on it. Just wasted a couple hours. I'm two high E strings poorer now. and that's what it.

I guess I can't even string the piece of ****.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

What is wrong with it exactly?

[I'm Charming]

What is wrong with it exactly?

Well.

Jackson JS-30 with FR and floating bridge.

I didn't realize when I got it last year, that FR was impossible.

Lately I've been having problems with it staying in tune. With FR locked and all... It'd go outta tune in 10 minutes. So I tried without the FR, same result it just took much less time to re-tune.

I also was having major problems with when I'd lock down the nut (I did it the same way I'd always done it, so I know it wasn't me). It would throw the tuning into a new world, too much to fix with the fine tuners.

Anyway. I got pissed. Took off the strings, put it in the case and tonight I decided I'd put strings on it and see what happens.

I can't string it, it's literally to big a hassle. Whether it takes ages putting the string into the bridge or I can't tie it at the top.
It's impossible. lol.

[repcak]

i am happy i haven't bought this guitar... i once wanted to have the JS-30.

[Kurrpt]

i got that album repcak, awesome :thumb:



if you are having problems with the locking nut and tuning, you are probably locking that nut WAY too tight

[Invicta_Veritas]

I hate locking trems of any kind.......they create far more problems than they solve.

Tune o Matic bridges and Tuning Pegs, combined with decent strings, get the job done just fine.......there's no real way to completely solve tuning issues......

[Sleepy]

I never use a whammy bar, so string-through FTW. Even with new strings it hardly falls out of tune.

[Kurrpt]

i mean, i never used my trem for what it was made for, but i never had any problems with trems.


Maybe you just suck with em :confused:


the first day i got my C1 - FR, the bridge was all out of whack. It took me an hour to full understand the system, and it was a peice of cake

[purgatory]

This was my first guitar. Now I have a Pro Dinky, but my JS30DK never messed up like this, actually, it's my back up guitar lol. I dropped EMG's in it and it's great. You might have just got a messed up guitar lol.

Eh...that's a mediocre setlist at the very best. No Bed of Razors, The Nail, Hatebreeder, Taste of My Scythe? Bleh.

[repcak]

The verse riff for Silent Night, Bodom Night is harder than most people think. It's triplets, most people I've seen play it just pick as fast as they can.
is it hard to learn the song? i don't think i would have problems with triplets... but what about the rest of the song? the leads? hard, intermediate, easy?


Ooo Necrophagist, repcak knows them!!
:thumb:

[Kurrpt]

nephrogist, havent heard them ever...


can someone send me tab of the bodom night. Im anxious to take a look. My triplets go up to about 160-180

[Squirrel]

Necrophagist are great, albeit very boring.

[Kurrpt]

:lol:



too repetitive? Please explain

[Squirrel]

Who are you talking to ?

[Kurrpt]

you about the boring Necrophagist

[Squirrel]

Why the laughing emoticon ?


And its true, they are a very boring band. A full album worth is a chore.

That and they just aint heavy enough :)

[Kurrpt]

Why the laughing emoticon ?


And its true, they are a very boring band. A full album worth is a chore.

That and they just aint heavy enough :)



the laughing emoticon was directed at the contradictory terms, as in they are good but boring. I was trying picture a band i liked, that was boring, and i was having trouble is all.

It wasnt a laugh at your depiction of the band mind you, considering i have no idea wtf they sound like

[Squirrel]

Oh right, i'm with you now.

Talented members, just cant write interesting songs. I find myself just waiting for the guitar solos then turning it off.

But the guitar solos, OMG.

[Kurrpt]

damn...



guitar solos really sell a band for me too. That HAS to be weird as sh!t. Not being able to come up with a interesting rhythm section, but as soon as its "solo time", like the light bulb goes off.


Im picturing some dead looking person sniffing too much glue/gasoline/paint playing some redundant rhythm section, someone kicking him in the pants as if to remind him "YOU'RE ON!" , him snappin out of a comatose state to play some ridiculous solo, only to return to the zombified state to finish out the track.


Now im intrigued

[Squirrel]

I suppose theyre interesting, being technical death, they go all over the place, but whereas most tech DM keeps my attention, Muhammeds monotone vocals and rather bland riffs tend to bore me. His lead playing is out of this world though.

In their entire 2 album career so far, i only actually really really like one single riff.

!!!

[Kurrpt]

i guess if they only have 2 albums out, it could be a lot worse. Maybe they'll pick it up for the next one.

[Squirrel]

yeah maybe, theyve moved up to 7 strings down a full step, so hopefully thatll offer some great riffing

that and a possible classical cover, should be interesting

their leads are 'classical' [ugh] sounding, but a full piece would be cool

[AA-12]

Meh, Necrophagist has never bored me. Then again, i'm kind of hard to bore. I find DT to be one of the top 3 most interesting bands, and most people sleep to them.

[Kurrpt]

when you say DT, you mean Dark Tranquility, and not Dream Theater right?

[AA-12]

No, Dream Theater.

[I'm Charming]

Dream Theater can be boring at times, though I still love their music.

Dark Tranquillity owns though.

[MegaMustaine]

I appreciate DT's musicianship and compositions, but I just don't really enjoy it. Petrucci is a hell of a player though.

[AA-12]

Dark Tranquility though, they do bore the hell out of me.

[Kurrpt]

No, Dream Theater.


o, thats what i thought...



as far as dream theater goes, im only a fan of about 10% of their music. I do, on the other hand, LOVE their live show (saw them last tuesday)

[Thor]

Necrophagist musically are one of the most amazing bands that I've ever come across. It's just those damn awful vocals that make them a band that I just can't listen to.

...and Dream Theater is a band that I have a love-hate relationship. I really want to like them just because I'm a big prog metal fan, but their music just seems uninspired and trite. Sure they're great at all of their instruments but their songwriting abilities just plain suck. I really like the songs "Metropolis" and "This Dying Soul" though. Those are a few occasions where they really got it right.

for great technical metal I listen to Death. :)

[Shadows]

How unusual. Dark Tranquillity and Necrophagist I love, but I've learned the hard way that Dream Theater isn't my thing.

[Squirrel]

Dark Tranquility, especially Character, are a fantastic band.

[Thor]

How unusual. Dark Tranquillity and Necrophagist I love, but I've learned the hard way that Dream Theater isn't my thing.
Well I love Necrophagist as long as there aren't any vocals. The intro to "Stabwound" is constantly being played in my CD player.

[MegaMustaine]

I play Stabwound on my mp3 player a lot, and switch the song when the vocals come in.

[Thor]

That intro gives me an eargasm each time I hear it.

I'm having a great day, ftw. Decided to skip the first day of the new term. Since it's just a "hello people, we're going to discuss _______ and hope you like it, here's a sylibus and you can go now".

So I didn't miss anything.

[AA-12]

What the hell, my views are messed up. I listen to Necrophagist 80% for the vocals :-x

[I'm Charming]

What the hell, my views are messed up. I listen to Necrophagist 80% for the vocals :-x


Hmm.

I can't stand the vocals. Kelly Clarkson's vocals > Muhammad's

[Squirrel]

Well i do the ultimate school skip.

I left school ages ago :)

[MegaMustaine]

I couldn't imagine Necrophagist with any other vocals other than Muhammad's though.

[MegaMustaine]

BTW, Sixpounder live is kickass. I am still thinking about the show last Friday.

Are you Dead Yet and In Your Face were also quite good live, and I didn't think they would be. I wish they would have played BBT though.

[Alex]

when i saw them on march 24 in TO they were in-fvcking-credible. Sixpunder, Needled and Follow the reaper were amazing. And Are you Dead yet was sweet

[I'm Charming]

Alright. I'd like some educated guesses here.

How much for on trade in could I get for,

A Jackson JS30. Floating bridge and FR.
I payed 320 new, it was on sale. It was 400-450ish not on sale.

Any ideas as to what the trade in value would be?
I assume it's a rip off?

[MegaMustaine]

when i saw them on march 24 in TO they were in-fvcking-credible. Sixpunder, Needled and Follow the reaper were amazing. And Are you Dead yet was sweet

I can't remember all the songs, but it started like this:

Needled 24/7
Six Pounder
Follow the Reaper

[MegaMustaine]

Now my horrible cell phone quality pics from the show.

I have cell phone pix on my myspace. Except I'm 3 feet from the stage.

I'll post them later in this thread for those who don't have myspace.

[MegaMustaine]

I could have gotten closer if I really wanted to, but in KC there is the pit below and an upper area with a rail here you can see everything, so I went there instead. You get a better view of everything.

[I'm Charming]

I'm 6'3 215 so I just force my way to the front. :cool:

http://i2.tinypic.com/sy2ts4.jpg

http://i2.tinypic.com/sy2uja.jpg

Yes. I just had to whore them. Lame cell phone pix don't do Alexi justice, but it's sweet anyway.

[Thor]

I couldn't imagine Necrophagist with any other vocals other than Muhammad's though.
I could imagine them being without vocals though, and then they would rule the world.

[Sleepy]

[Toaster]

I just got my COB tickets for July on the Slayer tour. :D

[entruce]

I don't like new COB at all, Alexander composed a lot of their old material, which was the better stuff in my opinion. Now Alexi tries to be some "Badass Rockstar", which is lame. Alexander was a huge part, now they suck. Later Inearthed stuff was very good, too

[Shadows]

Alexander didn't compose anything. The band's material has always been written nearly 100% by Alexi alone. It's just a coincidence that Alexander left as the band started to take a new route.

[Drunken Viking]

Is it a coincidence, or did Alexander put his little spin on it when they recording their albums with him?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Coincidence.

[Drunken Viking]

That's what I figured.

/Not really

[I'm Charming]

As Ben said,

Alexi writes everything. So Alexander leaving had no impact on the sound.

I think HCDR has become my fav.

1. HCDR
2. Hatebreeder
3. AYDY
4. Follow The Reaper
5. Something Wild
6. Tokyo Warhearts


Every song on HCDR is excellent.

How can you not beat,

Needled
Sixpounder
Chokehold
BBT
Angels Don't Kill
TCHB

[Shadows]

Every song on HCDR is excellent.
For me, this applies to every single album this band has ever written. Follow the Reaper and Something Wild changed my life.

I can't believe you hated it when it first came out. I guess it can be expected because of the drastic change in style though. It's third on my list too.

I jumped on AYDY way to early and didn't give it a chance.

I just took the new style and ran a marathon with it.

I still hate Punch Me I Bleed and dislike Next In Line.

Punch Me I Bleed is a wretched song. Worse by miles than In The Shadows.

How can you like Punch Me I Bleed?

It's just boring... The guitar riffs are bland. The vocals are boring. It's just when you'd go get popcorn in the movie. It's that point.

I like the melodic chorus. Very catchy and almost depressing in a weird way.

[I'm Charming]

I like the melodic chorus. Very catchy and almost depressing in a weird way.

I know it's not but that intro reminds me of Bloodline from Slayer.

I know it's not because I've watched Alexi play it in the Nosturi show and I play Bloodline.

[AA-12]

Yeah, I love that song. It's in my top 3 on AYDY.

[I'm Charming]

Ehh. I am ****ed in the head. So maybe I don't like it. I don't know.

NP Lacuna Coil

[AA-12]

You're listening to LC, of course you're messed up :p

NP: Sodom - Wanted Dead

[Shadows]

There's nothing wrong with a little Lacuna Coil now and then. Cristina's singing voice turns me on.

[I'm Charming]

Same here. It's rather sexy. :p

Tarja's too but nothing like Christina's.

[AA-12]

Lookwise, they are both pretty good, but the music overall is terrible :-\

[Shadows]

Nightwish has the music, Lacuna Coil has the vocals. I guess Tarja is technically a good singer, but I dislike her voice in that context.

[I'm Charming]

Lookwise, they are both pretty good, but the music overall is terrible :-\


Nightwish, terrible? Josh, you have started talking outta your arse now.

i dislike female vocals ... such like in Lacuna Coil, Nightwish.

but i like female vocals in Arch Enemy, or in some songs of Anathema or even In Flames. sometimes they fit in very well.
though the main reason i dislike bands like LC and Nightwish is that its power metal and i don't like power metal, except some rhapsody :D

[Invicta_Veritas]

Since when is Lacuna Coil Power Metal? :lol: :lol: :lol:

LC is goth metal, last time I checked.

[Invicta_Veritas]

That's a little more along the lines of what I thought, although I actually do hate it when people use the word Goth so lightly as if it's a music or a style of dress.

lacuna coil are pretty **** IMO, but christina is super hot

So metal has to be filled with death growls?

[Kurrpt]

yea, i wouldnt say the labrie/dragon force vocals appealed to me at first, but after seeing symphony X live, i respected them a hellova lot more.


I believe growling requires 0 talent, and vocals like the ones mentioned above have to actually approach their voice as their instrument.

[repcak]

So metal has to be filled with death growls?
exactly :thumb:

no, not always. i like for example sentenced and other bands who doesn't growl. i doesn't have anything about clean singing, but the problem in power metal is that most of them sing very very high! rhapsody f.e. is power metal but the vocals are great i like them. the vocals of sentenced (though its goth-metal not power) are one of my favourites!! when the singer in power metal bands would sing "normally" i would listen to them, but most of them sing far too high.

[Sleepy]

I believe growling requires 0 talent, and vocals like the ones mentioned above have to actually approach their voice as their instrument.

Dude...have you ever tried doing a death growl? It's definitely not talentless, and after having to do vocals for a band, I respect screamers a helluva lot more. It's difficult!

[Kurrpt]

no, i definitely wouldnt call it anything special. Now granted, my voice totally sucks for something like that, but you have to figure, growls are monotone in nature. Its not like they warm up by growling scales, or what have you, nor do they raise octaves in the same manner.

listen to some opeth

[Kurrpt]

i did, i dont like em

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think growls are something people simply grow to like.

Some bands I suppose could be considered as having "entry-level" growls like Bodom or In Flames, but it's something that people need to ease into.

I have to practice for at least a half hour every day to keep the tone in my growl. It's DEFINITELY not a monotone...have you heard Mikael Akerfeldt do a wordless growl? He can go from octave to octave to octave to octave without even drawing a breath. I really do see where you're coming from in saying that it is a talentless art, but I think that opinion is naive and ill-informed. Just TRY to do sing along to an Opeth song and tell me growling takes no talent.

i just think some people are pre-disposed to be able to growl is all. I feel theres more talent involved when talking about someones voice, like Mariah Carey, when compared to growls, regardless of the music they do of course

extreme power metal to be exact -> power metal with harsh vocals; and when you will read my previous postings you will realize that the only thing about power metal i dislike is the high pitched singing.

EDIT: Necromonicon is right; i mean standard power metal

I know, i read, i just felt like pointing that out.

says who? Oh so because of the neo-classical presence and keyboards, they are automatically powermetal? No harshness intended... im just curious as to why people are always so quick to call them powermetal:)
Not that it matters... why do people care so much about what type of genre a band is labelled as.
COB are kick *** metal and thats good enough for me.

The rhythm riffs are extremely power metal, as well as the percussion. I realize that there are plenty non-power metal bands with keyboards *cough* Emperor, Dark Tranquillity, Coprofago *cough*

We care about genres because we are dumb, is that what you wanted to hear? I never criticized you for failing to categorize your music further than just metal, so what gives you the right to grate on me for being a genre whore?

NP: Are you dead, yet (the whole album)

the reason why most ppl dislike "Are you dead,yet?" is maybe not because CoB changed their style, cause the guitar-work is still very impressive and nice. its the drumming! the drums sounds strange... like the drums in St.Anger by Metallica.
what do you think`?

[Kurrpt]

anyone read the interview in the new Guitar World with alexi laiho..


he actually retracted the BS he said about john petrucci, and stated that jon was better than he was. My respect for him shot up 2 pts after reading that :thumb:

Well the drums do sound strange for ''In Your Face''. during the verse, they reminded me of the St.Anger drums.

Personally, I think the album isnt good because of the guitar sound, the vocals (older ones were much better). Also, I dont like where they're going with the sloppiness of the bass. Example: in If You Want Peace Prepare for War and Bastards of Bodom.
its still better than lots of other crap out there though.

@MRDuCran: Have you checked out the tab to the solo of "Passage to the fourth world"? Especially the first run by Roope! I can't imagine you can play it this way on such a speed! the finger stretching, at the end of the first run by Roope, when you reach the high e-string, is incredible ...
you're the better guitar player, so i would like to know if its "possible" or if the tab is just false.

Could you post the tab?

It's definately hard, I mean the tab to me looks playable during that first ascending run. It's just bits where there's position shifts all on one string but doesn't really make sense in any pattern is what confuses me. I guess it's just down to how you'd rather play it if you're learning it. Just sit there with your guitar and the tab and go through it note by note, finding all the possible positions for each note and just keep the one you like best, I'm sure that'll give you the best results.

Metalcore? Are you ****ing stupid?

Do you know what "metalcore" even is?

Metalcore is, Converge, As I Lay Dying and Atreyu for some examples.

It's a really good album.

CoB has been and always will be power metal with harsh vocals.

Please huff raid and die.

The new album is hardly Power Metal though.

I thought Atreyu was screamo? :confused: Meh, I don't listen to them anyway. Whatever...

I know that you are an absolutely ginormously massive Bodomite, Charming, but this thread isn't meant to be a CoB circle jerk. All opinions are welcome, savvy and n00bish, well-informed and misinformed, pro-CoB or anti-CoB, so long as they are presented in a calm and mature manner.

He doesn't have to huff raid and die just because he doesn't like Bodom, or because he's under the impression that AYDY is metalcore. That's not saying you can't prove him wrong, just don't break out the nubhammer quite yet, and let the guy speak without smashing him into the ground right after he finishes a sentence.

The new album is hardly Power Metal though.

I strongly agree (not a fan of AYDY).

Re-write what ever parts you feel are hard to play, of course everyone is different so the way Laiho plays will differ to Latvala etc and they will both differ to you and me, I tryed the first 2 bars yesterday quickly and didn't really come up with anything.

the first two bars aren't hard, the end of the 3rd and the 4th bars are difficult because of the finger stretching, and i can't imagine how to play it different because its on the last string... i tried to come up with something, but i failed; i only changed the A# from the 8th e-string to the 13th B-string in the end of the 3rd bar. (well, i have to try it today once more -> the only possible thing will be to try it with string skipping)

wow, that stretch is hard for you :eek:



id hate to see what happens when you'd try some nevermore solos. My hands are small as hell, and i do it on my 27" baritone 7 string.


its a stretch between 13-20, with insane string skipping too. If you want some hints on getting your stretches better, id be more than happy to help

[repcak]

äh... well, the stretching won't be difficult when playing it slow... but i can't imagine to play it at 200bpm, the speed it should be.

[Kurrpt]

in all honestly man....


once you have a stretch down, theres really no difference between speeds what so ever. Is a matter of making a stretch that seems BIG, comfortable. Im making it seem easy, but when you think about it, thats all you are doing. Getting you hands aclimated to something that seems foreign at first

[repcak]

ok, i will try it ;)

[Kurrpt]

my baritone has been a god send for me in that department. Going back to PRS is ridiculous. That 2 inches makes a huge difference


instead of setting your hand up like 1234 ( like you are doing chromatics) set it up in a postion like 1 34 6

its really weird at first, but what you want to focus on is comfort, or lack of tension. You dont want to strain for that stretch. Obviously, the more you perform the stretch, the easier it will be

[guitrguy]

I doubt that is a stretch, there's gotta be some position shifts in there somewhere, while assuming the notes are correct. I'll see if I can come up with something.
