When I feel the need for Metal I listen to Wagner.

Let me suggest something else. It's just your listening habits and your poorness that you can't decide what you want to listen, probably because you don't want to listen to music. So my advice would be when you turn up listening to, for instance, Wagner, feel the need to do something else.

I was listening to Schmitt's PQ last night (@ turn of the century), and the Finale starts with what all of us would probably consider a pretty familiar sounding "riff". Not famous, mind you, but the same kind of thing Sabbath would start in the middle of one of their "middle sections", where the rhythms change in that unmistakable, "metal", way.

Pretty much, whenever I hear a minor third as a rhythm, I think of rock/metal/whatever.

Bartok's SQs 4-5 have that extended, metal-type, blocky construction, perhaps (especially 4)?



Sabbs Vol.4, though,... ALWAYS at the top!

Aphrodite's Child! :o
Title: Do you prefer "rolling", loose Metal,... or the ultra tight, technical Metal?
Post by: snyprrr on October 07, 2010, 08:12:20 AM
Sabbath had the more rolling feel, whilst Cynic (and many bands mentioned above) go for that over the top virtuosity.

I prefer the more organic kind,... where you can hear the guitar amp's tubes growling with harmonic rich overtones (some of Tool),... that then get squashed by brutal, crunching ensemble crunches. Zorn's Naked City comes to mind also.

Testament??

King Diamond, haha??



...my fav "rocker" has to be Reggie Wanker (Malcolm McDowell) in the uproarous comedy Goin' Crazy. Anyone??

False. One cannot feel the need for Metal of course. It's just your listening habits and your poorness that you can't decide what you want to listen, probably because you don't want to listen to music. So my advice would be when you turn up listening to, for instance, Wagner, feel the need to do something else.

Yes, exactly! Bartok's SQs were metal before metal was invented.  :D

Heck yeah!  I'm with you two. But some of Shostakovich's SQs are very metal too. :)

So does anybody post over at Metal Archives? I used to a lot but haven't been to the forums in a couple of years now. Lethe used to post a lot under a different username (as did I).

I got tired of the unrelenting stupid but, having said that, they didn't tolerate drama queens, a modus operandi this board could learn from methinks  ;D

Greg, latest report about girlfriend things.

I send the girl, the schoolgirl, a message. She's just loving you, in a playful way, and locks you up in her prison of love for as long as she wants.

I'm in her prison, more then ever, and hope she will finally release me.

     For Blue Cheer I prefer Outsideinside, the second album and the last with original guitarist Leigh Stephens, who messed up my mind completely circa 1968.

     Vanilla Fudge....good catch. Long Island Metal.....Rascals with Marshall stacks.(http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/Smileys/classic/grin.gif)
