    Death metal bands that play in dropped tuning on 6 strings

    Yes, the title track and a few others are drop c. Edit: I thought so, could be wrong.

    Death metal bands that play in dropped tuning on 6 strings

    In Flames, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth have all been through several tunings oder the years. It seems to me that they use a lot of standard tunings and then dropped the low string on some songs as well. Like Clayman (the song), or Only for the Weak,I can play that in C standard. Similarly, Amon...

    Blood and glitter. Cause... why not? Should be perfect for this forum.

    Megadeth onstage with Marty Friedman again?

    I like Megadeth for the song and riffs. Never got all the fascination for all the “neoclassical guitar wankery” . For me Diver/Pitrelli were just as good as Friedman/Poland/Broderick.

    İbanez rgr5221 black metal

    Yes; I briefly had a Brute Force in my RG. It seems to have a bit of Warpig DNA in it so will work great for all those styles. I went to a SD JB instead though, as I was more interested in lead sounds/upper mid rather than the sledgehammer sound of the Brute Force.

    It's the annual "What gear came in and what gear went" thread... 2022!

    Likewise. No need for new gear in 2022.

    I love the clothes! He clearly doesn't care what others think. I like that.

    ODs-extended range low tunings/TC Preamp?

    I just use a Digitech Bad Monkey with my baritone. All you need and not expensive.

    Ozzy v Whitesnake: The Guitarists

    Zack was just groundbreaking when he joined Ozzy and recorded No More Tears. People forget that, because of the time that passed and because he's done a million other, less popular things since then. Steve Vai really just did what he already had done on previous albums. No negative judgement...

    Ozzy v Whitesnake: The Guitarists

    Always Ozzy. Steve Van has commented many times on how the whole Whitesnake thing really didn't work out with him. I don't consider him a part of Whitesnake at any length. To add, he also wrote songs with Ozzy (for the album Ozzmosis) and almost joined the band, but it somehow didn't work out...

    Misunderstood Lyrics

    Not really misunderstood, but "coleus sanctus" is supposed to be "iron balls". ;-) Though you get the meaning if you understand the lyrics. Now Powerwolf needs to learn some proper latin declinations though...

    Misunderstood Lyrics

    Queen - It's a miracle. When I first heard the song I thought Freddie was singing "It's America." If you listen closely, it does sound closer to America than miracle in many places. Also Queen: I swear they sing "fried chicken" in the last chorus of "One vision". 5:56 or so... Uptown funk...

    Probably been posted before, but just to be sure. This forum needs an injection of melody, hooks and proper singing.

    Your Albums of 2022 (So Far)

    I only got around late to them, but this is definitely my favorite album this year. I love that operatic power metal stuff.

    Best of the Genre, Worst of the Genre

    Best: Worst: Trying to outdo Slayer in their own game... never a good idea.

    Reverb for rhythm

    The only reason to put reverb on metal guitar is to make the South of Heaven intro sound properly ;-)

    Zakk Wylde, now that he’s in Pantera
