and with a slight tongue in cheek attitude methinks.

So that's who's using Ibanez guitars . . .

What was that saying about history repeating itself, first as tragedy then as farce?

Also, there aren't enough notes in that song.

[Nubus]

ahh...
edits note 4,359 20 miliseconds earlier, note 4,360 15 miliseconds earlier, pitch shifts the tail of note 4,359 up a few cents, consolidate region, renames, tabs to next region...

Herman Li is so quick, seriously, in the solo to through the fire and the flames you can see his picking hand and fretting hand blur.

listen to revolution deathsquad-or go into Dimarzio and look for the EVO pickup and search sound clips

epic metal never left!!!

Check out the music video for Dimmu Borgir - Progenies Of The Great Apocolypse

Epic isn't an epic enough word for that video. Snakes, Spikes, Rain of Fire, topless chicks on chains, Pianos made out of bones, fat shirtless drummers, satan signs everywhere... it's amazing.

I think Fire and Flames was the best thing on You Tube the last time I watched it.
I sincerely like the song a lot.

I have a "Blessings Upon The Throne of Tyranny" ringtone

They're not really very good, though, are they?

Saw a "Betcha Can't Play This" lick on a Guitar World DVD, and they totally butchered up the execution. Something tells me that these guys do a lot of comping and retakes in the studio, and mask their live playing with a wall of reverb and distortion. Just a guess.

Thing is, though, they're young dudes. There's plenty of time for them to build up professional-level chops like Vai (or whoever, insert the guitar hero you don't hate here), and they're definitely two guys who COULD rise to that challenge.

Alexi Laiho is similar. He's not very disciplined and his playing is therefore sloppy at times, as though he's overextending himself compared to his actual abilities. But that pushing on (despite fingers not cooperating) will eventually see him as one of his generation's true guitar heroes if he's smart.

It goes without saying, of course-- all those guys can play circles around me. Easy to be an armchair critic.
