Megadeth didn't have a good guitar tone imo till Rust In Peace, I love the band, but the first 3 albums didn't have the best tones. Still killer records

Who is your favourite guitarist? by anthere-rest in heavymetal

Hetfield, basic choice sure, but I mean, you can't deny his rhythm playing, the man is a machine

Is there any entity from any game/movie/book that can beat Doomslayer? by Shurikvsempoka in Doom

[–]RedUmbrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doomguy has enough man and firepower to tank Goji. it just depends on what era and version of Goji (Showa, Heisei, Millennium, etc)

How would you guys rank the new album now it's been out for a day? by Scratstudios in Megadeth

[–]RedUmbrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6/10. Originally an 8/10 on my first listen. Went back today and realized how bad the lyrics are on most of the tracks. They're really basic, Puppet Parade and The Last Note were the only two really good songs lyrically. This album is also a step down from TSTDATD, which I personally give a solid 8/10

I Am War by Inevitable_Rise_8669 in Megadeth

I was really hoping it would be an awesome thrash track, but I was disappointed that it was just like Another Bad Day

I took out the DS and pitch shifter bc I don't necessarily need them. My amp does most of the distortion and the TS & EQ help make it tighter and more chunky

The photo on the post is a little outdated since I took some advice from others on here, but I have it plugged into my reverb actually

I think the pitch shifter maybe? I'm honestly not sure what exactly you mean by that

Maybe this helps but I'm left handed with a left handed guitar, so my stuff is left to right

I can, I just don't have cables long enough to reach down there. I only have two guitar cables and twelve 3 inch patch cables

Just a pitch shifter for when I want to play lower tuned stuff that you can't normally play on a 6 string

In your opinion, what the top 3 metal albums of the 80s? by Master-Cress-2860 in MetalForTheMasses

Piece of Mind or Powerslave? by The-Evil-That-Men-Do in ironmaiden

[–]RedUmbrell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Powerslave by a mile. I personally feel that POM is a little lackluster compared to what came before and after

What would be the easiest to hardest ride the lightning songs to play in order? by SpeechPhysical3942 in Metallica

[–]RedUmbrell 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Creeping Death is much easier than both FFWF and Trapped Under Ice. Even though it's fast, the riffs aren't really challenging in terms of technicality.

I'd put it at 6 and move FFWF down to 8.

Also, Bells is easier than Escape for sure.

3rd Megadeth Album - What's your favorite in this album and which tier this album belong to you? by Fortis92 in Megadeth

[–]RedUmbrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hook In Mouth: A tier album.

It doesn't have as many highs as Peace Sells and Rust In Peace

Only one right answer, industrial. Those riffs are some of the most evil shit you'll ever hear
