thats bullshit, KK and Glenn of Judas have amazing talent, and so does Lars and Krik of Metallica...Iron Maiden are mediocre.

Tony Iomi has hella talent too, dont get me wrong, but its extreme to say that JP and Metallica dont have any talent.

Steve Harris is a metal bassist, they're more funk oriented.

Claypool didn't get into Metallica for a reason, after all.

still, that doesnt mean that they arent good...those "funk oriented" bassists are three of the best bassists in the world...the reason Claypool didnt get into metallica is because metallica didnt like the sound, not that he didnt have talent.

At 3/22/09 10:08 PM, greensucksbluerules wrote: What I'm saying is Harris plays a different sound than the other bassists you mentioned, so you can't really compare them. Don't forget that Claypool was deemed "too good."

aye, but still he's nowhere in their league...Claypool plays more then just funk you know.

Agreed. Claypool is one of the most talented bassists alive.

Bootsy Collins is good too.

Bass-wise, my fave bassists are Bootsy Collins, Les Claypool, and Clif Burton.

Lars is talented, yes, but not OMFG WOW DID YOU SEE THAT SHIT HOW AWESOME INFLUENCED METAL RIGHT THERE, talented. There are way better drummers out there (Tomas Haake <3), and as for Kirk, yeah, same sort of thing, but he beats the asshole and all of Lars' bodily organs out x10.

What's this shit about Judas Priest not having any talent? First of all, talent isn't necessary to be influential, good, or fun to listen to, all of which Judas Priest are. Secondly, Judas do have talent. Like, what songs have you listened to? Breaking the Law? Listen to fucking Ram it Down or Painkiller.

Actually, Scandinavian countries are the happiest (Denmark), the most free (Iceland, Norway), and the most liberal.

"Norway was ranked highest of all countries in human development from 2001 to 2006, and shares first place with Iceland from 2007 to 2008.[11] It was also rated the most peaceful country in the world in a 2007 survey by Global Peace Index.[12] It is a founding member of NATO and member of the EEA."

"Denmark, with a free market capitalist economy, and a large welfare state,[3] ranks according to one measure as having the world's highest level of income equality"

"From 2006 to 2008, surveys[4] ranked Denmark as "the happiest place in the world," based on standards of health, welfare, and education"

"Today, Iceland has some of the world's highest levels of economic and civil freedoms.[5] In 2007, Iceland was ranked as the most developed country in the world by the United Nations' Human Development Index.[6] It was also the fourth most productive country per capita, and one of the most egalitarian, as rated by the Gini coefficient.[7][8]"

I said they had talent because Ani said they didnt...I didnt mean that they were godlike.

as for drummers, my favorite is Kaish Doane of Vital Remains...he is insane.

Sweden seems pretty safe to live in. Some dude got fined because dudes came around inspecting everyone's houses, and found some dude without his loaded gun next to the door. Everyone has a gun, means nobody would be wanting to come fuck your shit up.

relevant because Sweden = Death metal.

FIxed.
Also, Iron Maiden rules. I mean, they have a lot of great songs that are clasics of metal music.
Also, do you consider AC/DC a non metal influence?

well I would say that AC/DC is amazingly Influential both in and out of the metal genre, but he was saying that Metallica, Black Sabbath, Maiden, and JP are the most influential metal bands. :D

Bah, you should have gone looking for their Warchest, 4 cd's and 1 DVD for about...$70-$90. A very decent deal and it gives you an insight to nearly all their albums, and some live songs.

Still 30$ for Antology it's a good deal. I mean, it's like buying greatest hits for a low price....

best band ever ever ever ever

Woah I go away for a day and there's like 3 pages.
Someone wanna summarise?

Went and saw Satyricon last night. Was a fantastic show.
The support band Aeon of Horus were really good too, but kind of inappropriate support really considering they are Technical Death Metal.

I managed to stay 2 people away from the barrier so I didn't get many good photos, way to hard =(

Its liberal alright, we have way too many immigrants here in Finland.. The government even gives those romanians money to pay for their dresses that they can´t afford because none of them go to work.

Alright, I'm going to set a few things straight here.

Black Sabbath invented proto-metal, Judas Priest were bona-fide heavy metal, Iron Maiden were the modern metal asthaetic and Metallica suck period and didn't do anything that Overkill didn't do before them.

And if you're going to get into who's the best bassist around I'd suggest you check out Spiral Architect, their bassist is crazy.

And that's something no metalhead should disagree with.

I'm looking for some more Death Metal bands to add to my list

Last.fm is helping me a lot, but I trust a couple of you guys in terms of knowledge of this beautiful metal genre.

I'm looking for tech death bands, to be more precise.

Blotted Science, Cryptopsy, Necrophagist, Quo Vadis, Sigh and Cynic (not quite sure about the specific genre of the last two though) are the bands that I already know of, but I'd like to get some infos about other bands of this sub-genre.

Thanks buds.

Atheist is the best tech death band you can get.

Demilich and Gonin-Ish are brilliant too.
You can get Demilich's album from their website for free.

Sleep Terror are worth checking out as well. And Behold... the Arctopus maybe.

At 3/23/09 03:45 PM, HeavenDuff wrote: Sigh

Sigh isn't even death metal.

But look into Illogicist and Neglected Fields for tech death. If you haven't already checked out Atheist and Demilich, then....then, well, what the hell is wrong with you?

Also Gonin-Ish is good prog death and Phlebotomized is good avant-garde death.

Black metal vocalists have higher voices. They're not that hard to tell apart.

exactly...listen to Sargeist or Nargaroth and then go and listen to Athiest or Deicide...COMPLETELY different...

Better than Death?

I consider Death Prog rather than Tech.

But it goes without saying that Death are the best Metal band ever.
Fucking flawless.

I don't like AC/DC.

Agreed, they suck. Highly overrated.

Also I could tell the difference between death and black metal, I just didn't know what the official technical differences were.
