    Wicked Wisdom

    Perhaps you're confusing metalcore (bands like Converge, Coalesce, and Botch) with bands like Killswitch Engage and Shadows Fall?

    Wicked Wisdom

    I don't understand how you can refer to either metalcore or emo as ripping off At the Gates. Emo has been around since well before At the Gates, and sounds very little like metal, and I've yet to hear a metalcore band that sounds like At the Gates. Also, The Black Dahlia Murder has nothing to...

    Fake Liar Cheat, by Tod Goldberg. It's good, I guess. I can tell that the author had some heavy dosage of Chuck Palahniuk while writing it, though.

    Questions about C-7 Hellraiser

    I think you'll be fine trying to imitate Nevermore's tone, since it's the same kind of guitar that Loomis uses.

    Michael Romeo.

    Romeo's crazy. When I saw Symphony X at Gigantour, he was playing the tapping part of "Sea of Lies" and Russel Allen (the singer) came up behind him and covered his eyes, and he was able to keep playing it. He's got great chops, and the only problem I have is that his solos don't really go...

    Is Gibson/Fender Overrated?

    I agree with the Big Lebowski fan above me. Les Pauls and Strats aren't exactly my thing, but I've got an SG, and it's one of the most comfortable guitars I've ever played.

    Some of my favorite metal bands at the moment are Isis, Immolation, Cryptopsy, Nevermore, Symphony X, and Arcturus. Those are just the ones I'm into at the moment. Give me a month or so and I'll probably have a new batch.

    hostel

    I'm still debating as to whether or not to go see it. The reviews I've read seem pretty split down the middle. Some people thoroughly enjoyed it and claim that there's all kinds of metaphors and other artistic points to the plot, while others just say it's all tasteless sex and violence. I'd...
