I think it is ok to be technical once in a while as long as you are tasteful with it and still hold down the rythm. I think every talented (technically) drummer and bassist should get a few seconds (at least) in a song to show their chops, but drummers and bassists should have the main priority of continuity in a song (rythmically) and make the guitarist sound more impressive than he/she is.
While I might cause an uproar (not in this forum but maybe others) saying this but metal music is based around aggressive distorted guitar. Drummers and bassists can be technical players and show their technical prowess and that is a very good thing, but to be able to retain continuity of a song, bassists and drummers also have to be able to hold down a rythm and accent the guitar. I'm not saying the guitar has to always play a lead role, but really talented bassist and drummer gets overlooked even though they often make guitarists sound like Gods.
Classic AC/DC is one of the biggest examples of that. If they had any bassist besides Cliff and any drummer besides Phil on BiB, the album would not have been anywhere near as good as it was. Those two are pretty much "in the pocket players" but there are many occasions where they are much more "busy" than the guitars they are accenting. Phil and Cliff put on a clinic on that release despite not doing anything earth-shattering. I a have never heard a more perfect execution of rythm than by those two (along with Malcolm) than that release.

The glory of music. I am not talented enough to be the next Yngwie Malmsteen, but I wouldn't want to be. Don't get me wrong.... I would love to have his skill, but I think playing with emotion and attitude is more where it is at. Technical ability is not to take lightly. Without the greats like EVH, Neil Peart, Chris Squier and Gunter Werno (no one but me knows him, but he is to keyboards what Jesus is to Christianity,) music wouldn't be the same. Having said that though, many of my favorite bands have average musicians.

a) I won't consider this is aimed at you or any of the other regulars (old or new) in OS, you're alright UnfUnfaithfully Metalhead said:Guess this poll was aimed at me...

b) One reason I stay here and I don't go to GMD or other forums is because we have here a nice pacific place (like Psychonaut said above). I can't stand flamers and obtuse people.

He is also all of 17 years old...fill in the blanks.
Someone had told me today he is only 15. His name on the forum is Guardian of Darkness. Closes threads left and right of band's he hates but uses the excuse that flamewars are occurring to close them. Oddly enough threads of bands he likes that end up sometimes in flamewars do not get closed. Some threads he closed are Black Dahlia Murder, Children of Bodom & Scorpions. But oh well he was voted in by them and Deron accepted the vote so nothing much any of them can do about it now then complain to Deron. I voted for anonymousnick first but since he didn't want the job i was persuaded to vote for GoD because they said he would be fair in moderating the forum.

I voted Newbies I'm one and Madcheese poping up everywhere is prbably pissing people off. I posted one in gen. music being sarcastic and 30% seriouse and got that thread closed in two replys. Haw, I'm such a dumbass. I'd say the things I don't really like most is when the bashers bash someone for liking a band everyone else hates. It's stupid, and I like GnR's cover of Knocking on Heavens Door, and doubt that Bryant will bash me for it. There's not much respect like there used to be, like fathers who used to bitch at thier kids to have respect just to teach them about it. I didn't get that from my pops and I got plenty respect for my elders. Don't fall asleep I'll quit writing.
That Guardian of darkness is a complete ass, he has some good points here and their and knows a lot about the music I've read hes' written about, But I'd kick his ass if I knew him.
