Well, since I'm gonna end up having to play lead guitar in my band, im taking it on... ive been working on those solos from Hangar 18... man, i really should've learned how to play lead a while ago, it would've been easier. The first four are pretty easy... except the second one, because i have no sweep technique yet. I guess this week is a good time to ****ing practice it huh? Those solos ****ing rip tho.. Friedman is a god!

I'm listening to Sodom's M-16 on my guitar break... this and Enemy of God are probably my most played new albums ever. I actually like this Sodom cd more than Agent Orange... more of a fuzzy guitar tone and more to the riffs i think. I'm into those real buzzy, more midrange oriented tones, Agent Orange's guitar sound wasn't the kind i like. Those were some great songs tho.

Sodom, Destruction and Kreator need to tour again!

I don't really get hassled much about my music... life is pretty good. Still, there are those hardcore kids.. but ive learned how to deal with them:
"What are you listening to, Griffin?"
"****in' Kreator, what the hell do you think?"
"Oh, thats that growly/death **** huh? I can't take that **** dude"
"Too heavy for you?"
*Blank*

So much for his As I Lay Dying and Senses Fail.

The worst i get is "all your bands are suicidal", but more recently something i laughed off was the friend i mentioned a while back basically saying Bowling For Soup were one of the most influential bands in the world. More so than the Beatles even, apparently. Why does he think this? Because "BFS wrote a song about being chased down the street by a man with a shovel"

I used to have trouble with sweeping, too. Do what I do, bro, and lock yourself in your room and play for hours. It helps. Were you just going to play rythym before?

I think there was a lot of Reign in Blood in there, some Anthrax too I think.

I allowed you to begin with then read your profile and got scared :p
If you add me again I won't block it this time, I promise ;)
I think it was also that comment about rapists that kinda scared me too, then again my msn is named after a serial killer :lol:

NP: Speed Kill Hate - R.A.W

Kids at my school used to hassle me as well. Then I brought my guitar to school one day and played about two minutes of a Coroner song (D.O.A.), and everyone was like, "Man, that sounded wicekd!" I chuckled and told them that that was a bit of the thrash metal that I normally listen to, and the stuff you look down on. They kinda took that as a slap in the face I guess, and didn't talk smack ever again.

I checked out that new Destruction song. It sounds solid, and I like the subtle use of blastbeats. This looks like a promising upcoming album from Schmier & Pals.

I also received two Razor bootlegs and a Torture Squad demo yesterday, because I'm cool like that.

Aye, I've always worshipped people like Dave Mustaine, and I've always been a riff kinda guy. My first guitar had the most horrible action above the 12th fret that you could imagine (warped beyond repair), so playing riffs became habit. Still, now that I'm actually playing some leads, i dig it. I'm doing the sound engineering for the school play all week, so when im in that sound booth im going to be getting a couple hours of it in every night, not to mention the playing i do while home.

Sweeping isn't as hard as a lot of people make it out to be. Just keep at it!

[QUOTE=RippingCorpseAttack]Sweeping isn't as hard as a lot of people make it out to be. Just keep at it![/QUOTE]

I'm not saying its hard, i know that is actually a very easy alternative to alternate picking on arpeggio runs, its just that i am usually too lazy for this ****. I should have it down by Friday.

I would like to join your thrash mafioso haha.

Hmm perhaps Titans of thrash (RIB) Reign in blood is that cool?

Did you guys here about The Gigantour!?

I'm going to seriously need to see them sometime. I think they should reunite with Gustafson some day.

NP: Anthrax - One Man Stands

Weird, one track apart on the same album. I seriously love Persistence of Time, an excellent, if not underrated melodic thrash album.

RUN IT THROUGH, DISCHARGE

I hope the talk of this tour coming down under was true!

It sounds too good to be true.

Sort of like how Sabbath, Maiden, and Anthrax at Ozzfest was.

Holy, that would be a dream.

I just found a Torture Squad CD on the internet, and OH MY GOD it is great! These guys are awesome.

\m/>_<\m/

Pandemonium is one of the best thrash records I've ever heard. Brazilian thrash that's better than anything Sepultura has ever done [Beneath the Remains is a possible execption]. I strongly advise everyone gives it a try.

Yes! The album fu[B][I][/I][/B]cking owns, everyone listen!

Yeah, Gustafson was a very underrated player, he was really badass, and I would say he wrote Overkill's best songs and solos. Persistance of Time is definatley a classic thrash record for sure :thumb:

Why did they get rid of him/he split with them in the first place?

[QUOTE=Chu]Holy, that would be a dream.

**** Europeans and Americans get all the good bands :angry:

Mustaine mentioned that they were in negotiations to bring the tour down here, albeit with a slightly different line up.

Pandemonium has been posted in the thread along time ago but at a bad quality, what bitrate are those mp3s?

The mp3's are at 192kb/s, at least for Pandemonium. I haven't checked the others.

[QUOTE=Efilnikufesin]Why did they get rid of him/he split with them in the first place?[/QUOTE]


I read something about that, I think it said something like He and D.D. Verni were fighting and D.D. wanted to leave the band, but somehow he ended up leaving and I doubt he would get back with them because they got in fights because he wasn't getting royalties for the songs he wrote after he left band

sweet, the mp3s i have are only 80kbps

I think every regular in this thread has heard Pandemonium. Nothing new, although if you HAVEN'T heard it you're a poseur, and I demand your head on a pike. :p

I agree with Efil. I think Overkill should do a show with Gustafson as a guest, not replacement, guitarist. They could play Evil Never Dies or Bare Bones, and him and Linsk could trade leads! That would own hard.
