Feeling better Spence?

Yeah, a bit. My fever's down to about 100, but I'm doing a lot better.

Thanks.

[QUOTE]What makes them metalcore though? I hear no obvious influences in the guitar lines as you can hear in bands like A7X, God Forbid and like wise acts.[/QUOTE]
I think metalcore can be used to cover a wide variety of bands. I mean, bands like Norma Jean and Every Time I Die are more or less accepted as metalcore, yet their sound is obviously quite different from say A7X. Either way, it's all metalcore.

I might be a little bit off on that, but I know they aren't hardcore at least. If Chris was here, he'd be able to explain it better than I can. :p

I like discussions about music. I always learn a little more. :)

I always thought Metalcore used a lot of 'JUN JUN's and stuff.

[QUOTE=PDWAB]Maybe that's just how he expresses how he likes music. It ain't no thang.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, i guess so.

Either my other friend needs to learn guitar, or i need frinds from other schools, since i REALLY want to start another band with people that like the same stuff as me. Not only because of troubles in the main band, but beacuse my guitarist is moving to colorado when he graduates. Its still 2 years away, but at the pace we're moving....

I always figured converge and poison the well were metalcore, also.

For some reason, Converge reminds me of grind. A lot. I'd say they could easily pass as a grind band.

Here is the Hardcore forums definition of Metalcore:

Metalcore is obviously metal influenced and because they're of this there is more complexity in the writings of guitar, more noted riffs added to it than hardcore has.. Some say that it has punk influences...but that depends on what band you are talking about. Metalcore has a lot of breakdowns, most of which have the "JUN JUN JUN" sound which some double bass. Metalcore was a lot better a couple years ago before more and more band's started learning that you can tune into drop-C, use only thin picks, and get a drummer who knows his double bass.

As well as their top 25 metalcore albums of all-time:

This does a good job of showing the variety of bands that can be described as metalcore.

Well, I think metalcore is that sound with the guitars that are like solos that are played as rythm, if you know what I mean... Like the tone and everything. I just don't get that metally vibe from Converge and Poison the Well.

Im pretty sure the simplest way to describe meatlcore is metal with breakdowns. Of course, this gives alot of room for bands to be described as metalcore.

Im gonna watch some TV. Thanks for the reccomendations.

:wave:

And everyone should listen to YouthInAsia. IMO they're in the top 3 best Canadian bands out there right now.

Youth In Asia? Canadian?

Yep, straight out of Brampton Ontario I believe.

Haha.

NP: Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me. This song makes me sad. :(

Jimmy Eat World makes me sad, because I know I could be listening to so much better.

NP: Modern Life Is War - "D.E.A.D.R.A.M.O.N.E.S."
