I'm sick of my Line 6 Spider II, it sounds like shit live. I have a budget of $1500, recommend me a really good amp (just the head, i have a cabinet already) that has that warm clear tone and the ultra heavy low-end. (I play technical death metal so clarity is key + a booming low end.) thanks

So I'm a guitarist and working on a demo. I have a desktop comp and was recommended a Line 6 Tone Port, I've used it and i really like the interface, I also have Ableton 6. I just love the fact that the Tone Port has almost 0 latency. But i was wondering are there any other products out...

so i recently bought a line6 spider II head with a B-52 cabinet, i can't afford any of the expensive peavy/randall/marshall heads so i settled for that one. anyways, i've noticed while jamming with other musicians, their amps just seem to easily overpower my amp (even a 212 marshall combo...

so i've been lately getting into pain killer and naked city and all of john zorn's works, and it got me to wonder, are there more chaotic fast and brutal jazz/noise music out there outside the realm of metal? i know japan has a really good noise scene, but i don't know where to start. if...

so i recently recieved Necrophagia's "Through the eyes of the dead" dvd as a birthday gift, their music is ok but what i was more interested in was their video clips of slasher movies. I can't seem to figure out what clips they were using for their music video tracks, could someone tell me...

I've decided to make a "history of death metal" mix cd for my friend and thought about including all the bands that stand out as a cornerstone for the genre. And I thought about including these bands: Sepultura, Possessed (for pioneering death metal) Morbid Angel, Death (for solidifying the...

Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately its not Nile, that song kicks ass too. Its also not Miasma or Golem. I think "O Fortuna" is over-used and like any good piece of music, because of its extensive use of playing it becomes dilluted. Just like listening to a good song over and over...

You've just got to listen to metal a lot to make the distinction. Thrash and Speed is something you just kinda "feel for". As a simple example, a lot of people consider Slayer a Speed Metal band, but occasionaly thrash. Others consider Megadeth a thrash band, and rarely call it Speed metal...

No it wasn't "O Fortuna". It's also not Massacra either. I haven't heard of Golem, so I'll look into them and see if they're the guys I'm looking for. Thanks for the replies and keep them coming, if you could think of anything it'll really help me out because this is one of those things...

shit, I heard this song about two years ago and I can't remember the band's name nor the title and its really bothering me. It starts off with this epic classical piece, with strings and later with some horns coming in, kinda like the intro to "the ride of the valkyrie" it has that tone to...

I just recently got into this band and I think they're pretty amazing. Its like Cryptopsy but they're being raped by muslim elves. Are there more bands that play this fast-paced/experimental death style?

the jsrdirect site isn't that bad at all. it has some shit you can't find anywhere around where i live. but i was dissapointed that i can't find anything Sodom related. its kinda funny though that they had "che" in the middle of all these bands. yeah lets capitalize on communism.

i've been surfing around for a bit but i can't find what i'm looking for. I've found some sites that have some stuff but for the most part they're out of stock. do you guys know of any site that has a large selection of metal shirts/patches or do i have to keep surfing around?

i love this song, Legions of the dead. but the problem is Testament doesn't really follow the formula that they did for this song, this song was the only reason i bought their album, but all the other songs on the album excluding DNR wasn't so satisfying. So if you know any, please recommend...

i recently got myself into soloing. learned the diminished scales and pentatonic scales and been playing around with them for a while so i could play some riffs that sounds decent. but the problem is that they're all repetitive. do you guys have any tips in soloing, like when you solo...
