Well I only listened to power metal when I was getting into the metal stuff centuries ago*g (Blind Guardian!)
But Mike's so fuckin right......I think that's the problem by so many guitar players nowadays. They are fast but they can't play a good tone or let a tone really sing. So many guitarist just try to get faster and faster but they don't concentrate on the tone, on how to play the string......there's so much dynamic in your playing by just hitting the strings different with your pick.
The same problem is dynamic in the songwriting in the metal scene......and I think that's one point that makes Opeth unique. They are one of the few bands in the metal genre that really have dynamic in their songstructure....even in the death metal parts......
Ah sorry.........I just got too excited, because what mike said was just what's always on my mind when I hear such bands....
