squawken Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 70-80's metal for me. Schenker, Accept, Priest etc
Steiner Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Let's see... Isn't Heavy Metal a Sammy Hagar tune? Oh yes, you should hear power chords on a Golden Eagle!

JeffB Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I used to be in an original metal band in 89-92....somewhere around there. Kinda thrash, speed metal sorta. We did a few local shows with other bands. I dont think it was the most fun Ive ever had playing though the music was pretty good I think. I dont think at the core Im a metal player then or now though I do still drop tune and try and come up with metal type riffs but they probably sound more hard rock by todays metal standards.

Halowords Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Kinda/sorta? I mostly fool around trying to just learn the instrument and make my own stuff musically speaking, which can run the gambit. I do play some Alice in Chains, Megadeth, old Burton-era Metallica, would love to play some Slipknot or similar (more of the Subliminal Verses stuff where it's more melodic though), and would love to learn to play some stuff by Isis or other "Post-Metal" bands. I suppose I'm more in the land where Hard Rock meets Metal meets Post/Prog-Rock. But yes, I like Heavy Metal. I like to use gain as an accent sometimes and flow between really clean or just slightly overdriven to heavier stuff, but tend to like overdrive on a tube amp more than a straight-up distortion pedal (ala. Metal Zone or DS-1) most of the time.
JeffB Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Any heritage players out there who play metal? Can you define what you mean by metal. I used to think I knew. But I work with a couple of metal heads and what I thought might be Metal is hard rock by their standards. Do you mean 2011 wall of drop tuned subsonic rumble with the cookie monster belching the words or do you mean spandex'd hair do's with air raid siren vocals? Half step progressions and rapid downstrokes?
the jayce Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 air raid siren vocals....... Now that was funny!!!
pro-fusion Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 I'm a fusion guy now, but I use a very metal tone, since I used to be a metal player. Trust me, a 10+ lb. H-157 will tear your head off through the right gear.

Alice in chains is awesome!And metallica with cliff is quite possibly the best Heavy metal music ever created!Slipknot is kind of hit n miss ill like it for a while and sometimes hate it. F.Y.I.I run a mesa dual rec through a randall 4x12 with vintage 30,s That amp can make any rock or metal tone from the 70,s and up! But for the more modern tones i put a tube screamer on it with a noise gate.
barrymclark Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I don't play metal as much as I once did, but, when I do, I play stuff like Meshuggah and so on.
barrymclark Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Are you thinking KHguitarfreak? Jim is that you? If so what guitar/ gear forum aren't you on? Edit: Oh wait, KHguitarfreak isnt from Fraser MI You too? haha. I was in a metal band from 92-94 called Damnage (Linkage). I am on the tunes called The Advocate and Who is Your God.
shook494 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I still play metal all the time. Unfortunately I had to sell my Heritage 150 for the time being. They are great guitars for metal I think. Alex Skolnick plays them.
Millennium Maestro Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Add me to the fold... A little of everything for me!
eor Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 i would if i had one. there was a guy here who played doom metal- he posted his demo once and it was heavy enough clear your bowels out. think the band was called mountain goat or something to that effect.
