And you're a fucking idiot. I don't care if it's "your opinion" because you are wrong full stop. Music genres aren't opinion...otherwise I might as well say that Children Of Bodom are jazz CAUSE ITS JUST MY OPINION!

If anything, Sixpounder sounds a bit like Pantera, who, last time I looked weren't fucking nu-metal.

Please, do the world a favour and get a fucking clue.

Couple of interview's of Alexi, from Soundi and Inferno Magazine, in Finnish, Alexi said that they tuned down to C in the songs Sixpounder and Angels Don't Kill and the rest of the album is in D. He didn't mention anything from 7 string guitars!

As I said!

OH YEAH!!!!

But what is the big deal...... even IF they wanted to use 7 strongs..... its no big deal its just another insturment haha

They may use extraordinary instruments for the metal scene as Amorphis did with the saxophone, but if the result is cool WHAT IS THE FUCKIN' PROBLEM. I don't care if they use carimbas, sitars(I *LOVE* this instrument), mpouzouki(greek folk instument) or cello. Of course it whould be a little shocking like the use of violin and flute did in the past but if the result is OK is OK

I think very few people here have a problem with it accept for the bonehead who started this thread.

 

[Tut Ankh Amon]

i think i overreacted a bit because Petrucci uses 7 strings, and i can't stand people bashing DT

But damn, you can have your oppinnion and don't like it, but saying it's nu-metal shit.... its wrong
If 7 strings started to be used AFTER all of this numetal crap appeared, i think you could say that... but that's not what happened.

And the intro riff of sixpounder does sound like Machine Heads more nu-metalish songs. Or then nu-metal sounds like Pantera.

I find this whole "no nono it can't sound nu-metalish 'cause nu-metal sucks"-things quite amusing for some reason.

And about string gauge.. When we get to thick enough E-string that we tune down to D and play that same powerchord sounding like 7-stringer. Well, what's the fuzz about 7-stringers sucking, it's the same freaking pitch there.

sixpounder is one of my favorite songs.

anyway as said before, if they used 7 strings, they tuned UP a step. cob must be setting a new trend! omg!

Maybe I'm just simple and haven't actually played guitar for 8 years as I remember doing.

But why should they have tuned UP even if they used 7-stringers? It actually comes in my mind that they could have, well, like not used open B-string at all and instead played those low chords and notes from like some other position?

Like does that sound like impossible like?

Like not having to play the lowes note guitar can reach in every song at all?

I know it's scary thought for every heavy metal guitarists...

I've always said that I think 7 string guitars are stupid, not because they're associated with nu-metal, but because you really shouldn't play one unless you've mastered the 6 string guitar, which most players haven't done. Plus, you really only get 5 extra notes!

That said... I think CoB have definitely shown themselves to be technically proficient on 6 strings, so grabbing an extra string is no big deal.

Also, I bet there aren't even 7 string guitarso n there. Maybe they tuned down to C or C# (which actually is what they tuned to on "Something Wild" I'm pretty sure) so it sounds heavier.

[Janne Warman]

This whole thread is bullshit. Haven´t you ever heard of down tuned guitars???? All guitars were 6-strings as were the basses.
