Technical or Melody u decide....

[chinnaduck]

I am Full time metal head!! wooo!! metal nvr dies!
Personally i would love it(music) to be melodic!
It freaking gives me orgasm haha , i love power metal and melodic death basically i love any melodic shit!! melodic = sex = chocolate
Hmm so i was wondering if u people out there would prefer melody over it being techical or vice versa??

Why not make it both?

 

[chinnaduck]

Not many bands can fusion these 2 together... local bands too hardly or maybe there is which i dun know of??
Any local bands wif Fusion of both melody and being extremely techincal?
Intro?

Aphelion used to pull it off very well. Melodic and technical. Damn good debut album... But I think they're off doing other stuff now... Think of them as the local Symphony X.

Don't agree- there are many very technical yet melodic bands too numerous to mention..
Dream Theatre, In Flames, Iron Maiden, Yngwie Malmsteen, Angra, etc. etc.

There need not be a choice as to whether you should be technical or melodic. Sure, many players (especially guitarists) focus *too much* on technique and remain blissfully unaware of melody and devoid of any melodic sensibility. There's no need to be like this, all yo need to do is make a conscious effort to try and create melodies and integrate your technical flash in while playing them. Same goes for players as individuals, and for bands.

I like technical more but I also like melodic. Hard to say, can't really say I prefer one over the other.. Cannibal Corpse (technical) and Arch Enemy (melodic) are both my favourites.

Can't quite stand metalcore though...

I think he's asking about local bands...?:mrgreen:

I love technical metal like Necrophagist, Decapitated. I love melodic like In Flames, Arch Enemy. But my favourite band is Opeth. Not very technical, but melodic.

 

[KissMyAxe]

A song which is purely technical without the beauty of a melody is just pure crap...

 

[leecs]

Not really la. Dream Theater has a high level of technicality & virtuso. Many people like them. You need Technique to make Music but Technique alone is not Music.

melody always comes before technicality for me.
