    Pantera!

    Haha wow, I have never seen more pathetic pussies lose their shit over a forum posts HAHAHAHA You faggots always dump your purses out instantly when someone calls you on being idiots? I'm not Dimebag Darrell, So it wasn't self promotion was it morons? Nothing but 3 moderatators with too much time and two 12 year old posters who are desperately trying to be cool, I am sure your site will grow, lol. 😃 Laters fuckwits 😃

    I like Pantera so much I made a video about how to REALLY play Walk: And can we check out the Cowboys from hell ink? PICS!
  4. All outstanding metallica points, I think it is perspective, Once you have done Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus, for 20 or 30 years. You want to change it up, Thanks for letting me play devils advocate, im always trying to really give a chance to whatever an artist is doing RIGHT now, the tendency is to dismiss it because it isn't what they did before, but that kind of growth and change is interesting to me.
  5. I guess because of the dissapointment of the black album and the bar being set so low, I was just happy to hear them play thrash again. And justice was really bad, no bass, bad production. 8 minute arrangements so boring, they wont even play most of it live. The first three albums were worse. So im not sure what people are hearing when they listen to kill em all which sounds like it is one step above 4 track quality. People have a reverence for those first 4 albums and they are just Venom songs redone. Boring to musicians, E and F and F# for four albums... talk about uninspired. Death magnetic is where they started writing their own stuff. They arent copying someone else, they arent doing bob rock songs, they are finally actually writing original things, and im not sure what you are expecting from metallica but it is written for angry teenagers, so your critcism on the lyrics is that they arent philosophy and they are written towards teenage angst because thats who metallica fans are? I certainly dont agree but it did make me laugh. They were never known for deep sensitive lyrics, they arent coldplay, lol. So they are connecting with their audience in the way that has worked for them for 4 decades. You need to go to a nice poetry recital maybe? Perhaps read some philosophy? Looking for wisdom from a metal band's lyrics is like expecting to meet a genius on the short bus. And it doesnt matter what any of us think because they figured it out. Any metallica show will now sell out within hours of being announced. No one in this discussion is able to make money with music like they did, and sell out everyshow everynight everywhere so they know something we dont.
  6. Yeah Cliff Burton was way into music theory and melodies and harmonies. If you listen to And Justice....It is actually missing some of the more amazing 2 part guitar melodies that are harmonizing in 3rds or 5ths to get that wicked sound. Cliff was writing all that stuff. And as far as a Live line up for Metallica, I have to go with the current setup (In a perfect world Cliff would be the producer and James' writing partner, Bob Rock would be in charge of tone and sound only, and Joey from slipknot would be on drums, with Kirk solo'ing like he does now) The current bass player is amazing live, I have seen him a ton of times in a ton of bands, he always makes huge artists I love deeply sound amazing. Ozzy sounds better with Trujillo, So does Metallica. Suicidal Tendencies was something I should have listed because they are one of my absolute favorites and it is because of Trujillo to a big degree. The ST Revolution album has amazing slap bass with metal guitars grooving really hard. A Suicidal side project was called Groove Family Psycho, or something like that, and he plays slap bass for that as well. so good. Ill probably get disagreed with here but going with the current lineup as my fav because of Trujillo and Greeny, and because I like the newer albums. Death Magnetic is an awesome thrash album, And Hardwired is a great rock/metal/thrash album too, and Kirks solos are SOOOOO much better now because he will improv, and play these great groovy bluesy weird solos that come from his soul rather than playing 3 and a half minute pentatonic runs all night in every song like when they had Cliff. Plus, any Metallica show now will be 3 hours, sound amazing, and you will hear all the cool old stuff with the new stuff, Trujillo even takes a creative approach to Cliffs solo and it sounds amazing. Also, Jason Newstead was such a NFL punter, playing with a pick...Psssshhhh, what a cheeseball >.> The Pick bass sound was just wrong for metallica, so i celebrated big when trujillo joined, because it sounded like metallica again (Well after therapy and the got some kind of monster out of their system and started making thrash again) The Black album load reload SKoM, are not really metallica albums for me, they are Bob Rock albums. And they are radio, arena rock albums, and frankly AC/DC does that better and I love them for it ya know. As for Mustaine, I think we would have lost such a killer band if he had just been a lead player in metallica. Megadeth writes cooler songs for me. More emphasis on darker melodic content, with faster riffage and more minor notes and badass lead players always. So I dig ride the lightning, but Dave needed to make his music or this world would have been a lesser universe as a whole. Black Sabbath did a reunion tour like a couple of decades ago, and their is a 2 show DvD that smashes balls. HD sound and they play all the songs with the original line up, crushing!
  7. Hello again I have something a little bit different sounding, It is still Sonny Chainsaw, but written a little differently, I so appreciate a place to share my music, ty for checking it out. This is called Briefcase of Contagion:
  8. Jason Becker - Valley Of Fire (Official Music Video) This is an example of the music Becker is doing now. I like so many styles of music never mind just metal. But GWAR, Tool, Sabbath, Exodus, Steel Panther. Black Flag, Pantera, Mr. Bungle, Dillinger Escape Plan, Vai, Dream Theatre, Cannibal Corpse, Meshuggah, Ill headbang to Metal Church Or some Skid Row, All the way to the Dead Kennedies to Dababy to the Gratefull Dead to Weezer and then back to playing along with Reign in Blood again just for fun. I try to give all music an honest chance so I dont miss something i like
  9. Releasing these as I do them because they are just so fun to do, thanks for checking them out. Sonny Chainsaw - Sharp Dressed Serial Killer:

    https://ultimateclassicrock.com/eddie-van-halen-dimebag-darrell-guitar-buried/ This is a story about why Eddie Van Halen buried one of his guitars with Dimebag Darrell
  11. And The Four Horsemen Was originally recorded by Dave Mustaines old band before metallica. It was and Is called The Mechanix but its the same song played differently just a little bit. They even do it live sometimes Megadeth - The Four Horsemen Tease / Mechanix (Live In Uniondale 2006): Sound quality is bad but you can hear the different approaches. And when I make a song everyone in the band mixes their own version with digital home studios these days. And, A song is really never done. Little pieces and changes get added to most artists stuff over time, making tons of different versions.
  12. 8 String detuned dean guitars, they are short scale and sound disgusting when detuned: and according to spec sheets dean guitars have a shorter scale (neck length) than most baritone 8 or 7 string guitars like the ibanez universe I have is 26.5 so the notes come out clean with the heavier string. 25.5 and they will be just a touch to short and will slightly detune. Think les paul versus strat the strats frets are a touch longer and feel that way, when you even detune a short scale les paul into drop D the note warbles when you hit it hard and detunes like an 1/16th in pitch but it is way perceptable to the ear. Why Guns and Roses and Motley Crue sound cool, they are detuning guitar a half step and a whole step that are intonated (string length determines the note, guitars are setup typically in 440 standard, so open E, and the length of the string and thickness determine the pitch of the string) and it makes the guitars sound minor when you play open notes, and the notes detune a little bit when hit hard for that dark evil sound. The note is literally going minor which sound evil and dark to human ears. Dean guitars are: Scale length: 27" - 25.5" Dean has a short scale length for heavy 7 or 8 string guitars. So the notes are a touch detuned when you hit the guitars as hard as they have to get the riffs out, and they dont fix it in production, they just go with it. If you are really interested in the sound I would literally message this 12 year old doing a perfect cover through a simple ass interface laptop I linked below, and ask them how they are getting the sound. But I am pretty sure it is fingers ya know, how you physically play it (awesome album btw, that sound is massive) short scale detuned guitars and the 5150/Mesa/Brugera Fuzz tube amp setting on your effects unit to my ears. Also. the bass player is playing long scale perfect notes, so it creates a dissonance, in addition, there is sub bass 808 type impacts on this record, like electronic sub-bass hits that follow the bass and bass drum. make it sound heavier. Hope that helps, sorry i cant say preset 28 on your effects unit, not one im familiar with. DEVOURMENT - "Festering Vomitous Mass" Guitar Cover (w/ tab)
  13. blackdoomfan, I usually agree with your posts and tastes in metal, we like the same stuff, and Becker is both tragic and amazing 😃 BUT! I wont do this lol. As a guitar player we always kind of say no one is better, we are all different. But when it comes to Becker, Malmsteen, Vai, Asahi. it is bs, they are better. But they cant write a song like Cannibal Corpse or even The Misfits can usually. Better to shred or be able to write the super simple stupid power chord riffs that my 4 year old niece can play? Sometimes simple is better, cooler, more fun. Death invented some song writing structures that are solidly in place in 2021 recordings. Mustaine should get a lot of credit for songwriting, leads. rhythm. singing, and basically willing his style of minor writing into existance and getting it on the radio when no one played metal So it is better to be an athletic type shredder, that literally is above everyone else physically? Or be able to write a riff that will make 80,000 people at a festival bounce like one gigantic wild animal? I cant listen to an hour long becker album, it is all speed metal solos, i respect it. It took me 20 years to even do some of his stuff on guitar...but lets hear Obituary - Cause of Death album through one more time!
  14. Yeah, Gary Moore seems like a blues guy, but he is pure metal if you have ever tried to play his licks. Kirk gets big points for taking it with him on tour. A guitar that can't go to war for the metalhead playing it and survive is useless, what good is a guitar that cant do a show with you, blegh, The guy that was the caretaker before Kirk kept it under glass in a hermetically sealed vampire coffin, guarded by orcs and navy seals 27 hours a day, (I might be exaggerating a touch) so it is cool someone that can afford it is still playing it. I bet they dont play it in the rain, "oops we ruined a 740,000 (idk im guessing) dollar ir-replacable guitar." I wouldnt want to be that guitar tech. I bet he stresses bad everynight. I have held an Alembic pure brazilian rosewood guitar that was a Jerry Garcia tribute, got to play it 5 minutes before we sold it. I mention it because brazilian rosewood trees are mostly gone. But I wouldnt be comfy playing on stage each night, guitars get beaten up, abused, bled and sweat on, bumped, beaten, and bruised, and the guitars i own and love the most are the beat up worked in ones that are 30 years old with the finish all melted and chipped and worn from use, wood wears down and the necks sort of thin out as they are played making a guitar be like an old comfy pair of shoes. Something i learned a long time ago though, sometimes a 200 dollar student model cheapy guitar from indonesia sounds and feels better than the 3 grand Les Paul custom, the big difference is the hardware fails on the cheap guitar, but that can be replaced. Like the Greeny guitar, sometimes the wood all comes together just right and vibrates in a certain way, or the elctronics sound a certain way combined with different players, and it makes a guitar an extension of the musicians hands and mind. Greeny was bought to replace Eric Clapton originally. How would you like to be the guy replacing the man people used to cover walls in graffiti for, saying, Clapton is God...Pressure salad for two please! Sorry to babble on, love this stuff. The reason for my post I forgot to mention to the OP, to stop feedback and really control it turn you back to the amp slowly and it will fade like a note. The pickups facing a speaker is what actually makes feedback sounds. I figured if he turned up a 100 watt amp all the way and tried this, he already is aware how to stop feedback or is in jail for noise complaints.
  15. Posting these as I finish them, hope that is ok, this one will probably get me sued but i think its funny. Lyrics for those that might care, this is free always, I never charge people for music, likes are amazing though, so is anyone willing to listen to even a few seconds, ty. Lyrics: Chemical made zombies roam the wasteleand, Feasting on one another, Violence belligerence and rot permeate this is the american wasteland walking corpses: Our cities crawl Paradise burns Nothing left but immaculate death
  16. Can't get these tracks out of my head: High on Fire - The Black Plot, and Pig Destroyer - The Diplomat And the ever awesome Pig Destroyer - The Diplomat
  17. Sorry to bring up an old topic but ya know Dave needs defending sometimes. Bob Rock, the producer for the black album, did his album style and radio sound, Like Dr Feelgood. Sonically really solid albums. But Megadeth has the guitar players jaws dropping, Dave specifically, Wake up dead, he is doing the riffs and the solos in the same takes on stage. If Bob Rock had been involved with Risk it might have had radio tracks, but instead of the top 40 producer Dave with a more artistic choice. Also his solo players have been pretty amazing, Marty Friedman with the egyptian sounds on the holy wars album, Chris Poland, amazing. Also, as a guitar player about Kirk Hammet, For a guy that knows one scale he did really well with it for 5 albums, in Metallicas defense Death Magnetic is a bad ass thrash album and Kirk has started solo'ing really well on albums, finally doing improv. And Metallica did tour the country for ten years with zero radio airplay paying dues and doing thrash, but Megadeth always makes thrash albums (Outside of Risk) so they win by a hair. One thing no one mentioned, Dave is just that kind of jerk you love to hate really:
  18. Embarrassingly enough my first "metal" album was Quiet Riot, lol. Cum on Bring the Noise! I didn't think it was fast enough, and then I hear Anthrax's first album and the title track Deathrider and the machine gun double picked 16 notes on a distorted guitar sounded and still sounds like angels fucking to me. WOW Then as a 12 year old my guitar teacher took me to see Metallica on the Kill Em All tour, Cliff was alive and on it. Hooked for life after that show, Then my eight year old ears heard The Trooper from Maiden and I got a guitar, Then i heard Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, and Cannibal Corpse and have been playing and listening to metal and lots of other types of music ever since, music became my life after hearing those original thrash guys (Exodus needs an honorable mention, since they might have made the best thrash album ever?) "Kick your friend in the head and have a ball, if you hit the floor you can always crawl"
  19. Gary Moore is standing at a 45 degree angle to his tube amp with it cranked like Alabaster talked about. A studio trick is that you can use anything from a wedge monitor to studio monitors or house stereo speakers to get feedback with some gain going. Most of the examples in the albums you linked are tube amps howling. Gary Moores guitar is using a 60 year old les paul burst named Greeny after the original owner, Peter Green. So he is using the guitar Greeny, which is an old les paul that had its pickups botched in the factory with a reversed magnet and rewired incorrectly (or perfectly, depending on your perspective. To the lobsters in the Titanic that iceberg was a miracle) to make it the only les paul on the planet that sounds like it does when out of phase. The guitar is now owned by Kirk Hammet, and is a 59 burst. It was originally purchased by Peter Green when he replaced Clapton in the Bluebreakers. And was Moores go to instrument. I mention it because getting Gary Moores sound wont happen exactly without that guitar. Also as a 60 year old piece of legendary gear worth 6 figures, it plays metal every night now on stage with Metallica. There are a ton of videos and info about the guitar, Here is a mini doc from youtube about it: So anyway, you can still get close with a real tube amp. The old school way to do this is face your amp so the pickups will send a signal to feedback to the amp, then move to the sweet spot which is usually like 3 to 4 feet away from the cabinet usually somewhere around a 45 degree angle. But honestly 100 watt tube amps at full volume will melt you face, kill your dog, and piss off your neighbors, The tech options suggested will work, as will smaller tube amps. For a metal sound I like Mesa Boogie triple rectifier, but again those are 100 watt tube amps made to push air through an auditorium, Mesa makes smaller really amazing tube amps, here is a link to what they sound like (He has a noise gate in his signal chain to stop feedback) But these amps do naturally feedback very nicely with every kind of guitar.
  20. Yeah, this site is very cool. I have already been taking full advantage. Heard some awesome new thrash from the posters here and have even have taken advantage of the promotion area, which is a fantastic part of your site, thanks for putting that together. The opportunity to hang out and be a metal nerd is outstanding. So in appreciation, and to give something to the community: I am a guitar tech willing to teach people the things I know like setups for floyd rose style metal gutiars, all the way down to how to restring a classical or how to setup a les paul. Don't pay the guitar tech 50 bucks, let me just show you how on youtube 😃 Thanks for the welcome folks \m/
  21. So I make this music at home for purely myself and a few old friends that like GWAR and Slayer and Misfits. It isnt for commercial use at all, I cant imagine anyone but some of us thrash, punk, guitar guys will like it, but i have been making music for other people for a long time, and wanted to do something that was purely for me to get what's in my head recorded, and i always loved samples and am fascinated by dark topics, they fit well with metal, and I made it to sound like a garage band doing first takes on purpose to get a raw, almost psychotic dark sound, hitting the guitars hard enough to detune them just a touch on choruses, instead of recording every note precisely like I usually do for people. So it is just for fun for you and for me, I try to never take myself too seriously, but making the music is serious because we love good metal. Hope someone else likes it. Also as a new poster I am willing to work for space to share my music, will help out with guitar tech secrets where I can, no charge ever to teach people things ❤️ this forum ty for having a place to share things in an ocean of people making music, hard to get noticed. So this is Sonny Chainsaw with the second song from the album im making called "We Killed Our Singer." The song is called Manson Family Dance Party:
  22. I appreciate the classic stuff, but really dig the artwork that could have been in a Dungeons and Dragons book. The "guy approaching the castle to do battle" theme is way slick, The red castle would make some great cover artwork.
  23. As a long time guitar teacher I say, go buy super light picks all the way to the big thick dunlop Jazz picks. Grab a different one of each thickness, then try them out. Everyones hand is a little different in how they move and pick. I can do some things with the super light picks I cant do with super heavy picks and some things only with the tip of my nail on my index finger like pinch harmonics without a pick. light picks can make sweeps weird, and truly flying with 32nd notes sometimes needs the old fender medium picks, why do I use those? I personally grip the writing on one side when i'm sweating, nothing else feels right. So picks are super personal. As a guide go with what feels best, only you know, kind of a discovery you have to make for yourself. Great excuse to go into a music store and play with gear too
  24. Hello, So some tricks to not kill that nut: Teflon guitar lubricant from amazon. You put it in the nut slots to improve tuning stability (so they don't catch or dig) and if you are comfortable doing it, you need to use a small file and smooth out any burrs or rough spots in the saddle seat the string sits in. A cheap way to get lubrication is lead from a pencil in the nut slot. The idea is letting the string move back and forth freely, brings down wear on the nut, adds tuning stability, and usually cheap plastic nuts need some love, and yes the plastic will eventually lose to steel and have to be replaced. But with filing and lube they will last a lot longer. If you are into doing customization bone nuts, and rolling ball bearing nuts are available, so are B and G bender guitars.
  25. When Kataklysm covers The American Way, I really prefer it, doesn't have to be complicated to be cool, and they (Kataklysm) have a sound I like better because of production value and gear. I like the guitars, but where is the drum style from the american way? Tight rolls and huge fills are missing, I think the big open guitars and cool simple grinding riffs need a technician behind the drums, just not hearing the same intensity and energy. Like on salvation, That intro is a great spot to show off some chops, these drums almost sound..polite somehow lol. anyway, cool album none the less, thanks for posting about it or I would have missed it ❤️ OP
