...how it has affected the development of metal.
basically. do you think extreme metal would be possible without the development of high gain amps and instruments designed to give clarity in down tuned situations?
i say metal is reliant on new high gain technology. as metal bands look for a more aggressive sound, they would require new technology. i couldnt see a band like morbid angel effectively using the amps black sabbath used in the late 70s.
on the flip side, there seems to be a movement in the doom/stoner scene where vintage gear is key to their sound.
