New Millenium Cyanide Christ - Meshuggah

Simple cyclic brutality. If the last two minutes don't get your head banging, you're a corpse.

For something a little more uptempo, play Future Breed Machine or The Mouth Licking What You've Bled. Gets your picking chops in order.

Do you need to tune down for their stuff? Doesn't their guy use an 8 string?

He's probably got it tuned down to F#. It can be done, a bit harder to do, but nonetheless.

The outro riff of New Milleniun Cyanide Christ if don't make you headbang, you'r really fucked up. Chin chin chikichin :hbang:

There's this horrifically complicated peice I play all the time - it's called "Drew improvises on a seven." It's so complicated because it changes every time you play it. :yesway:

The same as here :lol:

Looks like Fear Factory has been covered. How about Brujeria? La Ley de Plumo is simple as hell, but it's pretty fun. Sepultura tunes to B I think. R0000+5!! That song is also easy as hell but pretty fun.

Brujeria it's an easy thing to play, but those riffs sound like the WWII :hbang:
Like the riff of "Hechando Chingasos" when Brujo says "He-chan-do chin-gasos!" then it comes a riff that it's killer!

Seriosuly at our last jam. my buddy and i started playing Clown by korn. OMG it sounded amazing.

I don't have my seven yet [I'll most likely be picking my first one up later today.], but I've rearranged these two for a seven:

Dream Theater - Panic Attack [Half step]
Dark Tranquillity - Focus Shift [Standard]

They look like fun, guess I'll find out later today.
