If someone doesn't like your music, fuck 'em. You probably wouldn't like them as people anyways. Besides, do you really wan every fuck under the sun diggin' your shit?

Forums and comment generators are a double edge sword. You get to meet like minded people, which is great. The downside is, you'll get a comment from some 17 year old cocksucker telling you that your music is shit, and you don't know how to play guitar.

Deeds, not words. If you're gonna shit on my playing, lemme see your clip. If you're gonna bag on my band, lemme hear your mp3. If you have neither, then you can go and suck a big AIDS festering cock behind the dugout, cunt.

ACTION TALKS, BULLSHIT WALKS.

And John Vullo, if you're gonna start a fight with people, make sure you can, at the very least, spell. Because now you've made ourself look like a fucking fool, and I doubt anyone here is gonna take you seriously, as a guitarist or otherwise.

Now excuse me as I grab my 9 string which has been tuned down to a sub-bass fart, and write algebra metal, I'll call it Cuntshuggah. Playing at a street corner near you.

But then again, I find it rare to ever, ever get a forum that comes close to how awesome this one is. You guys are the best.

i agree. this forum is filled with intelligent people who are open-minded. i respect that, and that's why this is mostly the only forum i ever visit.

Not everyone.

Does DH sound like Meshuggah? Or Ion Dissonance?

With all respect;
There are a lot of artists who use 8-string and sound nothing like meshuggah. You don't have to "master" the 6-string first, one of the main reason behind the extended range is that they make it easier to play.
Also the idea that you have to nail the 6-string first is just dumb, when are you good enough to move on to the next string then?, when you can play a boring solo in 190bpm? Is that enough qualifications or do I need to be able to play jazzchords at the same speed also ?
I fail to see how learning music theory would help your playing, do you care to explain?

Small advice to you both, this is not harmonycentral, if you have anything to say, try doing so in a mannered fashion. You are more then welcome to disagree but there is no need for this sort of childish behavior.
