Has anyone stopped to think that they might not be downtunning further down? I dunno about you guys but he doesn't have one of the locking trems on that from the look of it. It looks like a floating one to me so they can do that thing where they palm the fine tunnings.

 

I wouldn't be suprised it they just used one of the strings as a drone or something. I'm probably wrong but I can't see the point in going any lower...

Why don't they just downtune a 6 string? They don't use all those strings anyway.

 

they actually do...

and about the meshugguh guitarists, the stuff they play is extremely easy, it's just complicated rhythm wise.

:p
and how often does he actually do a solo?


his soloing isn't original either, it's a carbon copy of allan holdsworth.

Just about on every song on his solo album :p

 

It might be a copy of Allan Holdsworth, but when did Holdsworth play polyrhythmic death metal?

He does a solo just about every track and his solo'ing is far from just a carbon copy of Allan Holdsworth. "Entrapment" from Catch 33 has a solo on it that's about as far removed from anyone's solo'ing style as possible. It's like 3 notes being bent up and down in weird rhythms. Sounds shit me explainning it, but it sounds awsome and is VERY hard to play.

 

I'd rather have a carbon copy (even though he's not) of Allan Holdsworth, then the same boring Dimebag pentatonic licks played over every bloody song. I'm sick of heavy metal solos!

The Korn thing isn't that surprising. IIRC, don't they tune their 7s down to Ab anyway? So the low F# is just one step lower. I'm no Korn fan, but from what I've heard, don't they drone on the high strings for their clean/effects stuff a lot?

 

And I'm with blargh and Chudanez- while there's definitely an element of Holdsworth worship in Thorendal's soloing, at least it's something different. Metal needs more fusion, dammit.

Last time I listened to Korn was life is peachy, and the intro to good god or whatever it was went something like:

 

E-----20----

B-----------

G-----------

D-----------

A-----------

B-0-0-------

 

So like, they need two guitarists, one to go "dunga dunga" and one to go "squeee"
