Metal gig

lepak

relax bro.. relax.. Theres no such thing as power metal beat.. Its juz that power metal bands has been a norm to play those techniques.. Like those 6/4 staff.. So, it is a technique.. Not a concept.. And wat is punk rock beat? Its not punk rock beat.. Juz that punk bands like to use that technique.. Moreover, the 8th groove technique or wateve la ar, also widely used by thrash bands also.. Juz harder than punk rock... So these are techniques... nothing wrong nor negative to play all the techniques all at once.. the drummer, Jimmy Sullivan, is a very technical player... He got all his strokes executed well with their guitars... Theyre very highly influenced by metal bands u see... If u listen carefully to their songs, its all elements of metal like pantera, dream theater, megadeth and iron maiden... Hear synyster gates' solos, he is sooooo the petrucci stuffs he uses... Thank god at least they did not do stuffs like Linkin Park....

also, u cant escape from being sound like somebody else.. Coz if u said u r unique, for example, pentatonic scale, dont tell me ur solos are unique... jimi hendrix, led zeppelin, deep purple used pentatonic way back before... u cant escape... its influences, not ripoffs nor copies...

so dont get them wrong..

Pretty true man, though A7X has definitely lost their original touch. Dont see M.Shadows becoming the next Phil Anselmo anymore.

At the route of like, say 80% of every guitar solo is a pentatonic foundation somewhere! Forget Hendrix man, think waaaaaaay back to Chuck Berry and Bill Haley!
 
Ya of cos Rev is good, His chops are mad. A7X is good. I enjoy thier music. And no offence thier new album is just crap.

An the reason I use power metal beats is cause i'm self taught. I'm not sure of all the notes and stuff.

dont need to diss other genre already la, be it punk or blues. I listen to blues for the technique, BUT METAL IS STILL THE BEST!!! haha. I use to be a kid who would hate bands which are not metal enough or not metal at all. I realise that there is still some good stuff/riffs coming from these bands. well, I think that we metalheads should not diss other genre unless the other party diss us first. If they start saying shit about metal, man, i would do anything (maybe not death la) to protect metal. In a nutshell, be a humble metalhead.

Have you guys heard Manowar's- Brothers of Metal? everytime i listen to that song, i know that there will be always be a brotherhood, followers of true metal.
 
Why dont we organize our own gig. Beatmerchants? Lcube? Boon big room? Any Ideas.
