Members PlayboyChris Posted April 17, 2007 Members Share Posted April 17, 2007 If we're lucky, maybe the subtones will be such that they're flat-out inaudible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chudanez Posted April 17, 2007 Members Share Posted April 17, 2007 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...

Members Weathered Posted April 17, 2007 Members Share Posted April 17, 2007 If we're lucky, maybe the subtones will be such that they're flat-out inaudible. +1 Korn is about 10 years past their prime - you can only be angry at your mom and dad for so long before it becomes passe.

Members Awake77 Posted April 17, 2007 Members Share Posted April 17, 2007 yeah, they really needed to evolve and didnt. Had a cool sound back in the day though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WhiskeyClone Posted April 17, 2007 Members Share Posted April 17, 2007 Why don't they just downtune a 6 string? They don't use all those strings anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chakosh Posted April 17, 2007 Members Share Posted April 17, 2007 Doesn't the guitarist from Meshuggah use an 8 string guitar? Oh, he actually has talent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members code_blue Posted April 17, 2007 Members Share Posted April 17, 2007 Last time I checked Korn is a hiphop dance band with backround music very very similar to MC Hammer's "Pray": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN4Po1b9c5U Korn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmXTCQ38FJo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nyck Posted April 17, 2007 Members Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'd like to see you pull off one of Fredrik Thordendal's solos and how often does he actually do a solo? his soloing isn't original either, it's a carbon copy of allan holdsworth.

Members blargh Posted April 17, 2007 Members Share Posted April 17, 2007 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 It might be a copy of Allan Holdsworth, but when did Holdsworth play polyrhythmic death metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chudanez Posted April 17, 2007 Members Share Posted April 17, 2007 and how often does he actually do a solo? his soloing isn't original either, it's a carbon copy of allan holdsworth. 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!

Members Exocaster Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 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.

Members TheDarxide Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
