    How do some bands get that extra gutteral distorted sound - like an extra push...

    The drums drop out a lot mix wise compared to the part right before which gives an audio illusion that the guitars are extra brutal. The drums go from really busy and spastic to really simple and brutal and that leaves a pocket and mix wise you have more room to make the guitars duck the drums...

    Playing guitar in an apartment (noise level/angry neighbor woes)

    If the old man is rude and the apartment hasn't contacted you to stop I would let the issue drop. Making a thing out of it isn't going to help you.

    Believe the Deceiver (AZ Progressive Deathcore)

    I dont know. I thought the vocalist fit in just fine. The only thing I found lacking was everything was very mid tempo, there wasn't much in the way of slams and blasts and way slow breakdowns but that's just my personal preference.

    I need some on-stage advice here ):

    I always made it a point to set up my gear near where the most light is. Partly for vanity and partly so its easy to see the fretboard when I'm flailing around. It's never a bad idea to bring a colored back up light in case the lighting in the venue sucks, you just aim it at your torso and...

    Standard or Drop (Poll)

    I like alternate tunings because you can come up with some cool ideas you may not normally come up with by accident. For the 7 string it makes no sense to me not to drop the low B to an A. You can play all the standard stuff and have that extra octave lower to go to when you want it. (for most...

    New Bring Me The Horizon song - Shadow Moses

    Listened to the track. It feels like everything these scenecore bands do anymore is nu metal. Heavy part/poppy chorus/filtered shoegazey part whisper part. Nothing fresh or new.

    Get Writers Block For One Day They said....

    I don't really see anything wrong with what you are doing. Really solid technically and its supposed to be proggy. It could use some really simple,poppy leads for taste but then it.wouldn't be prog :)

    It sounds like regular disturbed to me. Minus a radio hook

    Writers block from hell

    Sometimes I'll just hit record and let it go for 15 min. Sometimes what I'm playing at the moment doesn't grab me. Then I listen back to the tape and I'm like what was that part? That was cool and then i try to recreate it as a riff or flesh it out into something. Another thing that helps...

    Thinking of building my 1st guitar

    You already got the right idea with buying a neck. Rather than do your own design I would highly reccomend aping a guitar that already exists. At the most maybe do a frankenstein of two axes you like a lot. It'll pay off because usually the first thing you're gonna build will present a lot of...

    Love And Death (Head from Korn)

    I noticed Jds vocals taking a nose dive by follow the leader. His melodies and lyrics were his best work, however. It was his tone, very nasal. But he still sounded good, just not as cool as he sounded on the first two albums. It seemed like every album after his voice got more and more...

    Love And Death (Head from Korn)

    I love their early sound. That first album is an engineering miracle the way Robinson managed to fit every instrument in that sonic spectrum. It isn't loud like a modern album but the tone really serves the songs. Like listening to their new stuff, disregarding songwriting, the sound is loud...

    Love And Death (Head from Korn)

    I wish I could bottle that feeling up. First time I heard life is peachy my cousin played it for me. It was so intense hearing it with nothing to compare it to. The creepy album art and that dark, brutal and strange sound. Nirvana was as heavy is got for me before that

    What's YOUR creative process?

    My favorite thing to do when I get a riff I like is to start going off of tangent from it once its locked in. It's about not saying no to yourself and letting the subconcious come out. Then I take away the parts I don't like and listen to it again. Sometimes the cool parts don't make sense...

    Beyonce, Super Bowl performance

    The halftime with beyonce was my cue to leave the room. Just can't get into it. Plus I find her irritating as shit

    Head/Lynch/Sheehan/Luzier playing Blind @Namm '13

    The key sounded way too high but that was cool nonetheless
