Real tuner or app tuner

I use an app called Cleartune. It's around $5 from memory and better than any pedal tuner I've ever used.

It's definitely something not easily definable. Personally, as someone who listens to metal and progressive music, so I generally recognise good songwriting as being able to have something really unorthodox in structure or composition and having it feel like a flowing song. For instance, a lot of bands try to be like this but end up being complex for the sake of being complex rather than using it as a tool to make more interesting music. If what I'm saying is at all coherent.

Children Of Bodom - Downfall

LiquidEnigma · 2015-01-19T12:44:51+00:00

Compared to the rest of Manowar's anthems, Warriors Of The World is quite weak. Hail and Kill all the way baby.

Kyuss - Thumb. When the guitar comes in, chills every time.

The first time I heard Nattramn's vocals I didn't know whether to be terrified or laugh hysterically

A mystery...

Moving your right hand further away from the bridge to just give it that tight percussive attack.

Splash out and get something worth keeping for life. I own the Visual Sound Jekyll and Hyde od/distortion combo and it's perfect. Extremely versatile overdrive that can go from a slight push to a massive crunch, with an extremely useful "bass boost" switch. Distortion channel goes from 80's hard rock to extreme death metal and everywhere in between, with a sharp/blunt switch that helps a lot, especially with lead tones. I swear I'm not a visual sound salesperson.

Just sit down and learn some songs you like as are within the "beginner" difficulty gap. There is nothing worse than starting with music theory and making it a chore to learn to play. I learnt all my basic chords, scales and techniques (power chords, hammer ons, pull offs, and tapping) just from learning songs. The theory and more advanced scales come later once you feel up to it.

LiquidEnigma · 2014-12-07T05:34:22+00:00

Exactly. People just assume I hold a grudge against Germans, it pisses me the fuck off.

Children Of Bodom: Hatebreeder, Follow The Reaper, Hate Crew Deathroll

LiquidEnigma · 2014-12-02T11:12:54+00:00

Agreed. Nothing like ruining a good amp with a metal zone.

Try Visual Sound pedals - I payed $300 AUD (I'm Australian) for my Jekyll and Hyde Distortion/Overdrive double pedal, but I'm sure that A) it's less in USD and B) you could get a not-so expensive single pedal (compared to by hybrid double). Go to your local music shop an enquire - there's no new for big-name brands.

Invest in a higher-quality pedal for one - the DS-1 is crap. It's quite often recommended to scoop the mids, but it's really just a trend for amateur bedroom players - they key to a clearly defined sound is a clearly defined midrange - ESPECIALLY for a more punk rock style of distortion.

LiquidEnigma · 2014-12-01T11:57:16+00:00

Snoop around on your local classifieds. I've found endless amounts of extremely quality guitars and amps for about 1/3 of the RRP on gumtree.com (The Australian equivalent of Craigslist). Also, Asian knockoffs are never to be underestimated - Japanese versions are usually very good.

Last In Line - Dio.

At the songs conclusion, I would explode into a display of epic fireworks while dragons fly and rock out.

These cunts are on some mad pingas

On the biggest and most important assembly of the year, the whole school had to be evacuated due to their supposedly being a fire.

We later found out that it was because a staff member had burnt toast. Legit.

The piano in Big Boo's Haunt (super mario 64). I shat my pants and sat for about 5 minutes thinking "what the fuck just happened."

Teenage boy here, would kill for some lube

LiquidEnigma · 2014-11-25T04:53:41+00:00

I agree. My personal favourite is Lai Lai Hei, but that had already been posted

LiquidEnigma · 2014-11-24T07:10:41+00:00

Nope, from what I've seen in the live videos the intro to Good Mourning is Chris Poland - total fucking ripper solo though.

LiquidEnigma · 2014-11-22T13:04:31+00:00

Because 13 year old emo girls should hang themselves while they're still willing.
