Hello, everyone recently I've been listening to a lot of revocation, and is it just me, or is Dave Davidson a modern day chuck schuldiner? I know no one can replace chuck, but Dave Davidson is (from what I've heard) it seems like is on par with chucks guitar chops. Even in some revocation songs their vocals to me, sound pretty similar. He even, although it's not a bc rich stealth plays a similar guitar as chuck did, a Jackson warrior. Has anyone else made the connection? What do you guys think? Is Dave Davidson reminiscent of chuck to any of you?

For me, metal is a hobby, a fun thing I just really enjoy. However, it is also therapy, anger management and at one point in my life a treatment for depression.

I play a Jackson js32t in black with white body binding. I took out the neck and bridge pickup and put a white emg 81 in the bridge leaving a pickup cavity in the neck. I think it's gonna be my thing though, I like it a lot, I bought this guitar in a guitar center one Christmas brand new and loved it of course because of the legend himself, randy rhoads. I play thrash and death metal, I do mainly havok covers, but the stuff I write is heavily influenced by slayer, exodus, kreator, and more recently, revocation and death.
By the way I'm 14 and have been playing for 6 years, and this Saturday I'm going to audition for a local thrash band! I play rhythm guitar.

You missed suicidal Ghouls. Of course those stereotypes are also applied to metalheads and punks so the -core genres aren't unique in this pidgeonholing tactic.
If you're talking more specifically about why metalheads tend to dislike the -core genres the reasons are much the same as for nu-metal. So many deathcore and melodic metalcore bands are essentially writing pop music with electric guitars.
 
What little metal exists in their sounds is watered down and only there to seem edgy for commercial appeal. Even their images tend to be tailored for mass appeal. Their music seems to be a secondary concern which is completely the wrong attitude.
 
The music offers maximum gratification for minimal effort like most pop and the target audience is transient in nature. These bands stay trendy and therefore successful because everything about them screams temporary fad. They make no effort to sustain a consistent fanbase because as each wave grows out of the phase a new one replaces them.
 
I'm sure there are exceptions but of course few people are inspired to find out because they assume that all metalcore sounds like killswitch engage and trivium. Grindcore is probably the exception as there do seem to be quite a few metalheads (myself included) who dig the hell out of that stuff.

Thank you everyone I've started to listen to them quite a bit now and some of my favorites are: blood on your lips, nuclear winter, m-16, agent orange, remember the fallen, napalm in the morning
Oh also city of God and persecution mania
