dem00n Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Acutal to tell you the truth. When i was 9 my first band ever was underoath. This was before they got all bullshit mainstream. I was young, blind and stupid. Just like today but i know whats fake and whats good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoRedFoot Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm Christian but IMO most of those bands suck. Underoath is one of the worst. The only problem I have with As I lay Dying is for some reason they cannot capture what they do live on tape. They actually sound awesome live. So much better than the recordings. Here is what I feel is good Christian metal. Sacrificum is from Germany. Here's a live clip from Norway of all places.

Laaz Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Back in the day there was a very good Christian metal band. The singer sounded very similar to one Bruce Dickinson. [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Mark Farner did a great Christian Rock album, it's not metal, but it's good. I think expressing your faith in your music is a good thing. Just sayin'..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabba2203 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I've heard some savage riffing from some christian metal bands. What I hate are all these stupid band names nu-metal has. Similar in construct to: I Run Fast To My House They should call themselves something honest like "I'm Angsty and Loud But Still A Whiny Pu$$y" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverside Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Wow way to limit your self. Didn't seem limiting to my way of reading it - except for that part about making ugly sounds. I suppose it could be as Christian as anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Wow way to limit your self. I call a spade a spade. Im 46, I know all about Metal. Im not putting it down, but lets be honest, you dont need to be very musically gifted to play it... Anyone can dime a gain knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal?....I used to play it, then I grew up. Been there, done that...got the t-shirt. Metal is much easier to play because all that gain hides your mistakes. Hey, I like some good Metal......Judas Priest, Old Ozzy, Helix yadda, yadda. So my opinion is based on experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my opinion is based on experience.[/quote'] I've been playing metal all my life. Also other kinds of music. Most good metal bands don't bury their guitar in gain, it's a cleaner boost so you have drive but can hear everything that's being played. (Not saying that there aren't crappy players that do, but there are crappy players in all genres of music) Some of the best musicians of each instrument play metal due to the challange and speed. That's been my experience. It also depends on what type of metal you're speaking of as to the common aptitude of musicianship required. Blues, I like Blues too but I've heard some guys with "tone" that sounds like a fart in a shoe box and people rave about how briliant it is. What a master of the volume knob they are, but it still sounds like an 8 year old making noise. Whatever...to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 2010, we have amps that can get 10x gain then a marshall and show your mistakes more then a clean tone amp. I belive that Metal is one of the hardest genres in the world. Why, becuase it takes time and perservnces. Metal has soul just as much as blues. I can show you millions of songs that have soul and sound. Now your talking about techinque? Devil fingers? Finger eight? I bet you havent heard of these picking techniques beucase their so ****ing impossible. Devil fingers is where you train your middle finger, ring finger and your pinky to be as fast as when your picking. Please tell me that isnt hard, tell me that doesnt take time and years of practice. Sure theirs tons of bands out there that just use power chords and use gain to hide their mistakes. If you saw some of the things metal guitarist have to do for one hour at a concert you will be suprised their fingers havent fallen off. Excuse my typos.
