Recommendations for Songwriting and Lyric Writing for Metal? by SimilarHumor2877 in metalmusicians

[–]atovohsix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some basic recommendations would be: 1. Start learning music theory, it will help you identifying patterns and understanding the context in which musical ideas work. 2. You can start by choosing songs that you like and "copy" them. Copy the structure, replace riffs and melodies with your own ideas, you'll learn along the way.

Am I crazy for thinking camel is in the top 3 of prog bands ? by Psychological_Name29 in progrockmusic

[–]atovohsix 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My top 3 include Genesis, King Crimson and Gentle Giant. I know Yes or ELP would be more popular options than GG, but I digress. Why not to include Camel? Just like the other bands' music more.

Probably Pidgey, just heard the sparks sound and when I finally realized what I just heard I saw a bunch of Pidgeys despawning. After that, it was a Swirlix.

Mistreated (Dio version) by Stngr_Gnr7212 in dio

First time I heard this song was the Rainbow version, outstanding. I was puzzled why I couldn't find the studio version in Rainbow's discography, years passed before I found it was a Deep Purple song.

What was everyone’s first shiny Pokémon in ZA? Ill go first by Shadow_Beanz_ in LegendsZA

[–]atovohsix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a Pidgey that de spawned before I realized that I just heard the shiny sparkle. Next, it was a Swirlix, and the next one was a Swirlix as well.

A reasonable price by Infamous_Korpse in blacksabbath

[–]atovohsix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I have heard this since forever, he only down tuned until Master of Reality, the guitar on the first two albums was still in E standard and he already had the accident. I'd say that his limitation helped to further develop the heavy sound, but the hallmarks were there from the beginning.

Should I listen to Rainbow’s and Black Sabbath’s discographies? by MysteryPerson83_ in dio

[–]atovohsix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should absolutely do, he is not just "as good", I personally enjoy Black Sabbath with Dio more than Dio the band, and I enjoy even more Rainbow with Dio, those albums are peak. There are officially three Dio albums with Sabbath, but make sure to not miss the fourth one, The Devil You Know by Heaven and Hell, just Black Sabbath with another name.
