3)up front guitar has been a mostly standard policy of rock, the heavy stuff started with hardrock. Minor keys I dont get, it all converts to major to me, but Maiden used very basic common progressions and stood apart from hardrock in their constant usage of pedals and gallops, something actually started by hardrock bands such as Uriah Heep, Zeppelin, Heart, ect. One thing early metal guitar players did do was steered further away from pentatonic improv and I/IV/V progressions but again hardrock, progressive and fusion players did this first. The key word you used here was HEAVY, the crushing weight of the whole thing IS where heavy metal came from. The metal word also refering to the grateing of it, massive over driven distortion, thick grinding saturation.

Thank you for correcting/clarifying my point. I am no musician, so I suppose I shouldn't throw around music jargon. I agree that the use of a heavy, crushing guitar tone and of triplets (i.e. gallops) are more definitive of metal riffing.

you were on the right track but not fully encompassing, I only have basic theory and am a guitar hack at best. What I said and know could be expanded on much further and better detailed.

Never really found Bathory all that engaging. Few good songs here and there but I guess not really my style.

Agreed

It's amazing how many people think that if something is shit, it's automatically not metal.

Wrong, again. Thanks for trying though. I enjoy watching tryhards fail like you.

 

[Belligerent]

wow dude you need to settle down, in general. Toenail is one of the better people on this forum.

It's like you're trying to see how bad your taste can be before people realize you're just fucking with them.

Don't even need to try. Too many idiots abound, it's so easy.

Wat. Just because i don't enjoy Bathory much? Oooook.

Gorgoroth sucks

Agreed. Thank god they broke up. No more Trad Norwegian scene with its focus on image and drama.
