Members joeyinflames Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 korn blows. they were never and have never made good music. but i like the 8 string - for shred or technical stuff - anything that needs huge range. korn - they need a 3 string guitar.

Members BillyCorgan 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-1-0-------So like, they need two guitarists, one to go "dunga dunga" and one to go "squeee" Actually they both do that. Then when they do the harmonics they blend pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny Powers Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 while I think korn is making some of the worst commercial music out today, Life is Peachy is a kick ass {censored}in album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 I can understand bashing Korn for not evolving or for doing unplugged, but LIP rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Weathered Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 I can understand bashing Korn for not evolving or for doing unplugged, but LIP rules. Agreed. I still own that album. But they never really moved ahead from there. Just like Nickelback's "The State" was a killer album, and I've been less than impressed with their subsequent work.

Members Hulston Prickle Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 As for Korn and 8 string guitars, hey someone has to carry the bottom end while their bass player consistently has the industry's thinnest tone and just slaps around and wanks off.

Members pink freud Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 and how often does he actually do a solo? his soloing isn't original either, it's a carbon copy of allan holdsworth. pulling off holdsworth is not easy, so by saying this you are in fact lending tremendous talent to the guy.

Members Seano Porno Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 Not a fan of them at all, but I did watch some of the Unplugged stuff on youtube yesterday funnily enough...it was quite interesting, especially the rehearsal footage. I was impressed! Still can't stand that bloke's voice tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members "sasquatch" Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 A. What the fuck is an 8-string guitar? B. What the fuck is Korn still doing around? i like the way you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knucklefux Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 some guys are just too good for just 6 strings, and that extra string helps them out. then there are guys like rusty cooley who need 8 strings to express themselves. then there are those pretentious {censored}ers who play 12 string basses. i mean, come on...there is such a thing as too much. and then there's the rick nielsens of the world...friggin five neck guitars. vai was over the top with three...and that's VAI i'm talking about. more isn't necessarily better...just ask people with cancer...

Members SlayerofShadows Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 They already insulted 7-strings bad enough. No they're gonna destroy the integrity of the 8 before it even has much of a chance ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WhiskeyClone Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 Even Wes Borland eventually gave up 7-strings, saying that he's not even good enough to play 6. He actually plays a 4 string a lot of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Random Hero Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 ^ I don't like Korn, at all, but why would it require more talent to play a 7 (or 8) than a 6? That doesn't make any sense to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emuhumper74 Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 why bother with an 8 string, just get everybody on bass... http://youtube.com/watch?v=YMZilI_ct1A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sekler Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 from what I remember, the signature bass sound of korn is the sound of the flabbiest and lowest tuned ever strings...I can't imagine how it's gonna be with 8 strings..but anyway..I still like some of their songs.

Members Chudanez Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 Even Wes Borland eventually gave up 7-strings, saying that he's not even good enough to play 6. He actually plays a 4 string a lot of the time. A lot of Limb Bizkit's clean tone riffs involve two handed rhythm tapping (the concept mainly being with the left hand doing the lower strings and the right hand doing higher voicings). Even when he used a 7-string he didn't use it tunned to standard with a low B. He used it with a drone note on the top. It's wrong to prejudge a guitarist just because he was in a genre of music that was stereotyped by low string chugging. Sure, he did that but to say that's all he did just because it's all most of the people in the genre did would be ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AgentOrange Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 they actually do...and about the meshugguh guitarists, the stuff they play is extremely easy, it's just complicated rhythm wise. ive heard people say this before and it never made any sense to me, thats like saying jason beckers stuff is easy to play if you do it at half the speed. The rhythm is what meshuggah are all about and theyre better at creating new and interesting grooves than anyone ive heard James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AgentOrange Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 and how often does he actually do a solo? his soloing isn't original either, it's a carbon copy of allan holdsworth. Most songs have lead lines of some kind, even if its just to carry melody, but although heavily influenced by holdworth and gambale, its really only due the legato style he uses, which is common in a lot of fusion jazz. He also does a lot that holdsworth doesnt do, like the more bizarre atonal leads with lots of layers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Silent Heart Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 There's a reason that A and B are the lowest that people generally go and why you never hear about "tuning to G" or "tuning to F". You don't gain anything but flabby bass tones, and in fact, you start losing the mids and highs that give you crunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Silent Heart Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 www.myspace.com/iambulb OK, but to me the deepest tones he gets sound like mush, and he's using a 7-string, not an 8-string. It's like playing a bass through a guitar amp. Sure, it's really deep, but there's no grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
