The scary part is that he is probably one of the better BM guitarists. He is sloppy, all over the place, and the guitar sound is worse than a lonely fart in a desolate-forest toilet.
Still, now we at least know why these Immortal videos are so hilarious; he is a natural comedian.
@FedorEight Meh, so what if he's sloppy? Feeling and creativity will always be far more important qualities in any art, but especially in music, than flawless technique.
Suffice to say Abbath's talent lies in composition and arrangement. I guess Sons of Northern Darkness got him enough attention for Guitar World to interview him, but instrumentation is not his greatest asset. Now when Ihsahn was writing columns for Guitar World...that was great fucking stuff.
@SmashingTheAntiu I'll give you this much: he is entertaining to watch, whatever he does. Most Norwegian bands are so dull, depressed, have nothing interesting to say and look as if they're on the verge of suicide half the time. Abbath however is refreshingly cheerful and fun, doesn't take himself too seriously, which is rare in rock music in general.
tube amp sound really sucks on low volume! i'm not the greatest immortal fan, but abbath is a very cool guy and one of the best guitarist in black metal!
@vergilkilla1 His riffs are well composed, something so many "black" metal bands can't do so well. "Too much black and not enough metal", these select few earlier acts are the ones who have ceased to let themselves sound stale.
he sucks you need to get lessons
