[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]He did in Bulls on Parade, but that's probably his easiest solo. If you really want to see what he is capable of listen to "Township Rebellion".[/QUOTE]
My favourite Rage song :thumb:

Anyways, less Rage more SOAD dammit! :angry:

[QUOTE=Ultimate Donky]Daron has good, simple solos. They aren't mindblowing or anything close to it, but they do sound good and fit the song. Daron isn't exactly the greatest guitarist in the world, but he does write some pretty good riffs, and goodsongs in general, and that to me is much more important than a crazy shredding solo.[/QUOTE]

hmmm... the solo in Psycho blows my mind every time... you're right though, he isnt the greatest guitarist, but he is one hell of guitarist for the amount he contributes to the band with his guitar AND vocals, which in my opinion totally makes the band.

I think I'm the only one who hates Daron's vocals...

His riffs are unbelievably fun to play on guitar, but his voice is SOOO irritating.

You're definately not the only one, that's one of the biggest complaints from people who don't like Me[B]z[/B]merize. He does have a high-pitched voice at times, and I could see how one would find it annoying. I personally think he sounds better than the singers of most of these new pop-punk bands on MTV, which is very sad indeed. That Newfound Glory guy is the worst singer ever, i'd be embarrassed to have a voice like that. But yeah anyways, Daron's high-pitched voice works with Serj's deep voice very well IMO. Daron seems to know his limits on vocals and doesn't overdo it(unless it's on purpose like in Old School Hollywood).

Edit: Happy zero?

ive seen other people who hate darons voice. i like it personally. i think it can sound good in a beautiful way and a freakin out wtf way.and about darons solos, u gotta give him some credit on solos like soil, science, psycho, marmalade, metro, and peephole has a cool solo in it also. they may not be the hardest things to play, but imo i like his solos more than toms any day.(no offense to tom or tom lovers)

You've already (somewhat) clearly made that statement.

Your access to a computer must mean that yesterday did not affect you in any way, except for that freak-out, of course.

Im not a Nazi. I looooooooove SOAD, but I love RATM more. Can't I speak my opinion?

P.S. I think that Psyco solo is amazing, I think Tom Morello is better.

[B]How can you say that. I think you need to wake up from that dream wolrd your living in. [/B] Listen to "Take The Power Back" by RATM or "Doesn't Remind me of Anything" by Audioslave. Then listen to some Malakian solo and then tell me who's better.[/QUOTE]
Doesn't sound like an opinion to me :)

Ultimate Donky 05-30-2005 06:07 AM

My only complaints with Mezmerize:

1) Some of the new songs lack emotion in comparison to previous efforts. The Cocaine one in particular just sounds like Serj half-assing and just talking weird. Not that I have a problem with him talking weird, but he's usually much better at it, if that makes sense.
2) Some of the lyrics are way too simple and repetitive. You mean to tell me Daron seriously couldn't come up with a 2nd, different verse of lyrics to Radio/Video? It really wouldn't seem that difficult. Not a big deal I know, but it's basically listening to the same exact thing twice in a row.
3) Everyone is saying this I know....but they recorded over 30 songs for the 2 albums, and it only looks like they're going to release maybe 23ish, and they're still charging for a double album when it will barely be more minutes than a normal album. That's stupid.
4) That's all I can think of for now.

Anyone agree/disagree with any of that?

Lost in Hollywood!
Cigaro!

These songs are very good!!!

Westy 05-30-2005 06:17 AM

i was very disappointed in their latest album mesmerise aswell,

i think their time is done, self-titled and toxicity probably their best.

darrens voice is terrible aswell. in "Radio Video" they do like a duet lol

Thor 05-30-2005 08:06 AM

Some people just don't like Mezmerize because it isn't the same old SOAD they are used to. I think their change is actually better, and a major improvement from Steal this Album.

They've always been doing duets since Toxicity, I don't know why you could only single out one song. Has it been THAT long since Chop Suey was all over the radio/video?

Skit 05-30-2005 01:30 PM

Yeah they have always done duets, Even in the ST days.

Their time is done because they've evolved and are moving on to something more complex and better? :confused:

And yes, they've been doing duets since they started. Chop suey is a good example.

Some of the songs can be linked musicly back to the older ones. Like in a few song they sound somewhat like older ones (<and if anyone use that as a negative to them are fuc[U]k[/U]in idiots.)

Skit 05-31-2005 05:16 AM

Anyone up for entering a SOAD cover for the comp?

I know this seems like a dumb question but do you have recording capabilites

:lol: That is a dumb question, of course I do ;)
I rig my amp up to my computer via an adapter. :thumb:

Six Foot Revolver 05-31-2005 05:38 AM

Sorry for asking but I started a cover band in the 'tallica thread and I got my members and we decided songs. Then I asked them to record there bits and none of them had recording capabilites.

Also, Metalhead wasn't it me that came up with the ***official***threads cover bands?
