ESP and Lead Guitar

[Insania]

Listened to Rapture this morning, just wondering if Eric plays any leads in either this disc or any Testament tune.

I never think to watch during the shows, and I don't recall the credits ever saying "Solo by:" so I assume Steve pulls all the shreds...



NP -- 3 Days of Darkness

for DL steve handles the leads. i think eric will start playing a little more on the new stuff tho. double lead attacks rule !

 

[Insania]

So...I take it that there must be some Testament leads by the Dragonlorde himself, if he's gonna do some for DL. I'd have to think Skolnick did all the ones while he was around, but am wondering about later Testament material.

A Lead can sometimes be hard to pick out, it might be considered just a highly technical supporting riff...take Wolf Hunt - where there should be a lead, it's more like a rhythm 'cranked up high'. That one is pure madness.

i dunno about that, and if i did, i'm not telling ! J/K!!! we'll see...

eric's incredible rhythms are an artform in itself. my fave instrument:

RHYTHM GUITAR!!!

I don't see why ESP has to be in your title

Eric usually plays Caparison (I think) and Steve plays BC Rich.

I certainly hope there wasn't an ESP deal in the works...

*hates esp with a passion*

 

[Insania]

No...I assume ESP is Eric's initials, it's in his screen name, has nothing to do with brand of guitar

Rhythm guitar, especially a DUELING team, is the best. That sound, esp when you harmonize the rhythm, can't be beat! Pathos with their Violated song, a cool example...a band that grabbed me just recently.

actually, eric doesn't play ESP guitars as much anymore. *everyone* seems to be playing ESP these days, huh?

eric is a DEAN guitar player. have you seen the 'DEAN GIRLS' ? at the 2004 NAMM show there was a huge poster of him at the DEAN booth! i'll post it if i can find it.

it is james murphy who plays CAPARISON guitars!

steve is sticking with BC RICH (yaaay!).

yes, ESP are eric's initials.

are you talking about pathos again??? i saw your post on the TL board . no offense, but i'm not a big fan of the swedish scene. i'm more of a norwegian metal fan. american metal is #1, of course!

With all your Emperor posts in the NP thread -- Damn, I had no idea...

Seems to polarize people, either you like the Swedish stuff or you don't, no middle ground.

i have been listening to some finnish metal here and there.

i went through a phase where i was obsessed with swedish metal... now the only swedish bands i really listen to are opeth and evergrey

just 2 of 'em, huh?

i like arch enemy and dissection... that's the only 2 i can think of right now.

 

[Insania]

I don't have enough fingers and toes, so I can only think of 20 Swedish bands I like...

But Ms. Anthrope, yesterday, an impulse buy, I picked up Anthems to the Welken at Dusk. Only listened to a few, the third track was on a BW&BK disc, I think, I've heard it before.

I'll try it... Bought the nex Exodus and others, so it'll take a while to get to.

 

[ms. anthrope]

it could be an "acquired taste." i wasn't what you would call a huge black metal fan when i first heard them. i got a sampler from century media some years ago and kept listening to it, and it was love . the earlier emperor albums aren't of the best production. you might want to check out their newer stuff, like "prometheus."

 

[VEHEMENCE]

What big places were Testament endorsed by?

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

what's wrong with ESP guitars? i think they slay!

Ahh... I feel better now.
