THE MOSH PIT (metal section of this Fourm)

Alright. Hopefully this shows you what I mean. Here we have the tablature view of a guitar:

Code: [Select]

E ----------------------------------------------------------------
B ----------------------------------------------------------------
G ----------------------------------------------------------------
D ----------------------------------------------------------------
A ----------------------------------------------------------------
E ----------------------------------------------------------------

The guitars Anthrax uses may have a different tuning, but I'm not looking it up as it's irrelevant to my argument. Anyways, most of their songs start with this basis:

Code: [Select]

E ----------------------------------------------------------------
B ----------------------------------------------------------------
G ----------------------------------------------------------------
D ----------------------------------------------------------------
A ----------------------------------------------------------------
E --0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-

and then they try to "switch it up" by adding different notes like so:

Code: [Select]

E ----------------------------------------------------------------
B ----------------------------------------------------------------
G ----------------------------------------------------------------
D ----------------------------------------------------------------
A ----------7-----------5-----------3-----------2-----------------
E --0---0-------0---0-------0---0-------0---0-------0---2---3---2-

and build their entire song around that. This is what makes most of their songs sound so similar. Keep in mind most bands these days follow their conventions to write their songs. I love Death Cab For Cutie, but there's no denying that I Will Follow You Into The Dark and Soul Meets Body use the same exact chords. I also love Dragonforce, and though I agree with you that their songs sound similar, it doesn't make me enjoy the music any less. My point is, I feel that saying a band's songs sound the same is a terrible excuse to not listen to them, as most bands write songs that sounds similar to one another.

how about how bad their live shows are?

haha

So what Zypher means is that.... Bands have a theme so you can tell who the hell it is. I just felt like condensing it incase some one was too lazy to read all that.

yea but dragonforce expresses that on EVERY song..

haha watch till the end..if you get the message then good for you, hope you enjoy the dragonforce part in there

As for the tripping and falling video, it was probably done on purpose. They do it a lot.

yes, I am aware of that, and no it is not a video of that...watch it..they suck in it.

I don't really see how they sucked in that video; then again, the audio quality on it wasn't all that great. I hope you're not basing their performance off of that.

sorry halo, but no im not basing it off of that 

again its all opninions. that video was a cheap shot at dragonforce, yes I can admit that.

Bleh, I deleted my post while you were replying apparently, because I figured my post was a bit unnecessary.

ok, lets take this topic off the DEBATE issue, I don't want to change the way we think of each other here, so new thing:
Post your fav album art! (funny, SICK, SCARY, weird...any)



big view:)

This better? I forget that that website does not allow you to link directly to their images...

The Dead Shall Inherit by Baphomet for best use of zombie imagery...


Hvis Lyset Tar Oss by Burzum for best use of folk art...


Summoning's Let Mortal Heros Sing Your Fame for epicness...


Dawn of The Black Hearts by Mayhem for brutallity...


And Black Tribe Split album with The Silence for modern mythological weirdness...


And my personal favorite: Fire Chariot of Destruction by Graveland for surrealistic awesomeness...

You just got ultra-mega-uber-owned.

You just got ultra-mega-uber-owned.

??

NOOOOOOOO they don't show

You just got ultra-mega-uber-owned.

??

What's not to get? Unless I'm mistaken, all those images above say they owned you.

I think zypher ment you got owned trying to directly link the images..

anyways MORE ALBUM COVERS NEEDED

will post when found.

Surprisingly, I don't have a favorite cover art for an album. Probably because I tend not to care about that stuff.

I have a new favorite band Zypher, and everyone go to that, and headbang now.

Dragonforce is good for the lulz.

Also, hatefuckingforest has got it right. This is definitely my favorite album cover, even if it's not my favorite album.

But seriously. It's a shame Per Yngve Ohlin is dead.

EDIT: Also, his suicide note was funny.
