Stupid...its not even anything then Old guys trying to play a chord and sunstain it for a lifetime..i guess, u guys have a, G Chord song, or A chord song, or even E chord song..
People hate on this music. It's not about taking skill. It's recognized because of the ability to take such simplicity and make it sound ambient (Even though by Ambient, I mean borderline scary as fuck). I mean anyone can play it, but it's not about being able to play it. It's about using the music as an ambiance. Sort of like Yoga music. Them guys and their never ending "Uuuuuuuummmmmm"s backed by Sitars or Didgeridoos.
Ok retards...first off i appreciate all types of music i listen to screamo heavy metal rock death metal this isnt fucking death metal or hard rock....this isnt blues either...its a bunxh of people playing one choird and holding out for a really long time....teach someone a chord how difficult is that how is this talent???? im open for anything and im not shallow i listen to heavy metal but this isnt metal...it is music its just music anyone could play with 1 hour of practice
@thelyricsreside if it's so easy to do why Sunn O))) are the first band to come up with this? you have to put the guts in the ground and say it's original and creative, and no one think about it before Sunn O)))
@AIONISMO Not quite the first band, because Earth was really the first to play drone metal and Sunn O))) was a tribute to them, but Sunn experimented even more with the style and brought it to even crazier levels. So I'd say they're just as influential as Earth. Not to mention that the two main Sunn members play or have played in quite a few other influential drone or doom bands such as Khanate, Thorr's Hammer, Burning Witch, Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine, etc.
You can say what you like about sunn 0))) being pretentious and crap or whatever.. but seriously as ambient music (i.e played in the background to create atmosphere) you really cant get much better.
Sunn O))) isn't art it's people probably having a joke at your expense... Either that or the most shite, pretentious nonsense of all time... "Ooh look how tr00 we are, we are a piece of performance art about DARKNESS!" Just nah dude....
I actually find this extremely funny as a person who really doesn't listen to metal at all. in fact, i prefer listening to almost all of the blues artists that were in this video, but i still think it's retarded of some people to say this isn't music. I can respect metal music just as much as blues, but nobody is making me listen to this, i can get off youtube whenever the fuck i want. it's funny to see what all the shallow people afraid of different music have to say. haters gon' hate.
@HeadBangar1030 sir i actuly listin to almost everything. from slipknot to prog metal, to dubstep. and sun o))) is somthing like i have never heard. so i was prolly a lil overboard with my comment but.. ill jus leave it at its not my cup of tea. sorry. i may be a musician. yet im not in to creating a droning, gloomy atmosphere with my lack of musical comprehention. find me a vid of sun o))) running through their scales..lol. any one can pick up a guitar and do this. but at least its different.
@whiteWidowskank SUNN O))) is about the atmosphere, not technical knowledge. Judging music by technical knowledge is etremely ignorant. Bob Dylan had very little technical skill. He played standard chords, and interesting finger picked patterns. That was the extent of his skill. A lot of people can pick up a guitar and do this, but not everyone can create this.

Why should I care what you think since you're just another prejudice, sanctimonious bastard who thinks they own the internet? Typical name, "immortal".
Wow. I love the blues, and I love Sunn O))). But the two are incomparable. I just don't understand what the point of this is. You must be really high.
@vmarsch listen to a lot of blues songs (especially acoustic country blues) and theyre all about painting a picture with sound (if that makes sense) its just a modern completely twisted version of the blues
Why SO serious everyone? It's experimental, kinda simple, kinda out there! It's loud art-rock for christ' sake! If ya don't like it-don't listen or buy it-OR do somethin' better yourself!
@ak47mustang He follows in the footsteps of earlier characters such as Bowie and Lou Reed, and Alice Cooper, creating characters for show. This is fused with the experience of a thriving goth and post-punk scene through the 80's. I have long stopped paying attention to his releases, but for reference: Antichrist Superstar is a great album, Smells Like Children, Mechanical Animals. Lady Gaga has picked up his flamboyant expression, but I don't believe her, and her music is shit.
haha i cant take this band seriously and i cant listen to them for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time but when i need to set a dark mood sunn0))) is always playing.
That's too bad, because no one person actually "created" metal. It was developed slowly from generation of bands to generation of band until what it is today

i hope your joking. this music has NO relation to blues. Metal was invented by TONY IOMMI with the goal of scaring people with music as horror movies scare their viewer. EXAMPLE: Pantera: heavy, not metal!!!! Xasthur: metal!!!! Metallica: heavy, not metal!!!! Shadows Fall: heavy, not metal!!!! Sunn: Heavy AND Metal!!!!!! dont tell me off, thats just the way tony explained it to me!
this IS blues essentially (i mean this very song) it has the typical blues structure listen to the harmony: the tonic, 4th and 5th note.
it may not sound like bb king but from the theorical perspective IS blues... and btw, what makes a good artists is innovation and not just develop a genre over and over like your friend tony does... have you heard about some guys named fripp and/or frith?
excuse me? thats Mr. Iommi. lol dont you think what tony did by creating the world's most popular genre was innovative? and blues is just a label for a certain typre of music. while this song may follow a similar patter, it is not blues and has virtually no relation to it because of the deep meaning in their music which is a completly different musical mentality. so how are old black guys crying related to young white guys trying to scare you? thats just my opinion, dont yell at me lol
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
THE IDEA CAME FORM THE MOVIE "BLACK SABBATH" and the idea came from people going to see movies that scare them, and applyed that knowlege to music. it did not come from such a foolish emo idea like blues!
Metal actually came from Blues too. Ever heard older metal? Like Black Sabbath, Led Zep, Iron Butterfly, etc.? they all had blues influences, in fact Black Sabbath and Led Zep had very few rock influences,
Toni Iommi didn't create metal. He was the guitarist for black sabbath. No one band created metal: Black sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly, and the Who all had elements that eventually formed to create heavy metal.
Actually Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple started before Black Sabbath and both are a lot closer to metal than Sabbath is. Black Sabbath just introduced the large ammounts of distortion. People think Black Sabbath was the first metal band because they were the first band to accept the term as a lot of hard rock musicians hated being called metal. But when Ozzy was in Sabbath they were just heavy blues rock.
Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin did not start before Black Sabbath (they all started in 1968) and if you go back in time... Black Sabbath's roots began in 1964 as the Polka Tulk Blues Band.
Plus Led Zeppelin is not even metal man and Deep Purple did not become metal until later in their career, get your stuff straight. You didn't think that Black Sabbath didn't like being called metal either??? The same with Chuck Schuldiner and Death Metal???
But see, Death has all of the essential things that make up Death metal. So that's different. Black Sabbath was just slow hard rock, and had very few things that eventually made into modern metal. They popularized the use of power chords(which at the time very few bands used) and the dark, abrasive overtones. Led Zeppelin had solos in almost every song(a metal stable that Sabbath lacked at tomes) and Deep Purple had the speed. There's also other less known bands such as the Yardbirds and
and Iron Butterfly that in reality contributed more to metal than Black sabbath did(solos, fast playing, keyboards, etc.) and in the 70s Led Zeppelin was considered metal. So was Deep Purple. And again: both bands contributed more to it than Black sabbath: Black Sabbath merely gave the general dark theme of metal but as far as playing goes, they didn't do much for the genre. And black sabbath didn't care about what people called their genre after their first 2 albums.
Do you know what was considered the first heavy metal recording??? Summertime Blues by Blue Cheer. And no... those characteristics were first in hard rock which would later give birth into metal.
So no... Led Zeppelin was NEVER considered heavy metal but hard rock and Deep Purple BECAME Heavy Metal LATER ON IN THEIR CAREER!!!
Black Sabbath was considered the first REAL heavy metal band in history. Finally perfecting the heavy and dark blues sound in metal so they are the main contributors...
Led Zeppelin was considered heavy metal. I've read a biography on them, look up various random things that have called them heavy metal, and know people who were die hard fans of the band back in the day: they were considered heavy metal. And so was early Deep Purple.
And again, Black Sabbath is so much closer to blues rock than anything else. Ozzy has even stated that their first 3 albums were blues rock and that he had no intention of them even being considered hard rock.
Man... why can't ypu accept the fact that Black Sabbath is considered about just about all metalheads to be the first metal band and are not "heavy blues" like you say???
Actually I've heard many musicians both fsamous and non say that the first metal band was Iron Butterfly, Led Zeppelin(actually a shit load of people do consider led zep the first metal band) Grateful Dead(i know, rediculous), The Yardbirds, the Jimi Hendrix experience, I could keep going. the point being: A lot of metal bands are considered the first metal band. Black Sabbath is sometimes considered the first metal band because they were the first to embrace the term metal, whereas most bands
that's not true. They did not embrace themselves as metal until the times of Black Sabbath. Their roots go back to 64' with the Polka Tulk Blues Band.
Also, a lot of heavy metal bands after say 1975 labeled Led Zep and Deep purple(along with grateful dead, iron butterfly, the yardbyrds, etc.) as metal and not sabbath. Sabbath is generally assumed to be the first metal band despite their influence not going very far outside of early heavy metal bands and Doom/Drone metal. and if you really want to be technical: Iron butterfly created the term Heavy Metal and their album has all of the elements of metal but with less distortion.
hated being grouped into thatcategory, Black Sabbath was the first to not really care and eventually started saying "yeah, we are metal!". But as far as I am concerned, The Yardbirds, Led zeppelin, hell even the Jimi Hendrix experience is more metal than Black Sabbath(long solos, complex guitar playing, massive distortion, raspy vocals(on some songs). Black Sabbath=slow, overdriven(Tony Iommi used Overdrive at first, not distortion) songs with creepy lyrics, which does not make metal.
@Grunge00125 Can you please tell me how in the hell, the Yard Birds and Zeppelin are more metal than Sabbath. Really please cause i have to hear this shit. I dont want that bullshit you said up there either cause that was a fail.
Metal= complex(well, relatively depending on what genre and band) guitar playing, lots of solos, harsh vocals(whether it's high pitched or growling), and very distorted guitar. Zeppelin and the Yardbirds both have much more complex guitar work than Sabbath, their singing is closer to bands like Iron Maiden, Metal Church, etc. you know, high pitched metal vocals, they both used a lot of distortion(well the yardbirds used more of overdrive not really distortion) and both bands had amazing solos
that, when played live, were usually drawn out and even on some songs, lasted from 30 seconds to several minutes. They both also had drum and bass solos(although again, these were usually live). Black Sabbath on the other hand, played slow(well, slow to mid tempo with a few fast songs), simple songs, with Ozzy's unique singing, and live they pretty much played exactly like on their albums aside from a few songs like War Pigs that would sometimes go into drawn out jams. Their solos are,
very easy(well, some of their later stuff with ozzy were okay) and just didn't do much except create the dark atmosphere for metal. That's all they did, their guitar playing is nothing like most metal bands, not many bands after, say 1971 call them an influence except for the fact that they're considered the first or an early metal band. I respect the band for what they did, but that doesn't change that they didn't do much.
Plus there are a bunch of bands from the 60s and early 70s that are even closer to metal than that, but most of them aren't well known as they never hit success and onyl released a record or two(at a time when bands made 2 albums every 1 or 2 years). Even Black Sabbath has admitted there were metal bands before them and some of their influences were earlier metal bands. No 1 band created metal and no band is the first metal band.
no, I got it from random band biographies, and documentaries, books on metal, etc. etc. And Tony Iommi has stated that Black Sabbath isn't the first metal band. And if you wanna date WAY back, then the YARDBIRDS which are older than Sabbath. And hell, even The Who had a lot of things that would later be found in metal. Again, no 1 band created metal nor is there really the first metal band.
Really??? "awesome guitar solos" define metal??? You fail...
Did you happen to hear me say that the origins of black sabbath go back to 1964 as the Tulsa Blues Band??? I bet you did not. They go back before the yardbirds did...
If you really wanna bring up shit like that, the Yardbirds go back to 1962 as the Metropolitan Blues Quartet. And other than "core" genre and doom/drone/sludge metal, most forms of metal include LOTS of guitar solos. Almost every form of metal has guitar solos on most of the band's songs, and usually they are awesome when compared to other forms of music(this would also, obviously, be dependent on one's taste in guitar styles.). So the yardbirds go before Sabbath. And I'm sure they were all in
"most forms of metal include LOTS of guitar solos."
NOT!!! There is also black metal and what not. Guitar solos do NOT!!!! define metal when will you understand that?!?!! Oh and Black Sabbath had some pretty sick solos as well and NOT JUST BY GUITAR!!!
The bands you are talking about are HARD ROCK!!!! NOT METAL!!!!!!
Black sabbath has pretty much shit solos. And death metal, thrash metal, heavy metal, deathcore/metalcore(at times) cross over thrash, blackened death metal, grindcore, powerviolence, speed metal, I could go on with metal genres that all have solos ALOT. Hell, even some black metal bands have a lot of solos. In fact I think i've heard more solos in the infinite abyss of metal subgenres than i ever have in hard rock.
Then you must be smoking some good pot because Tony Iommi can do things with 3 fingers that most people with 5 fingers cant. And Black metal doesn`t really do solos, they do fast tremolo picking...
¨In fact I think i've heard more solos in the infinite abyss of metal subgenres than i ever have in HARD ROCK.¨
hahaha!! You just gave it away that you CLEARLY confuse hard rock with metal!!!
i could play pretty much every pre dio black sabbath solo after playing guitar for 6 months. and considering he only uses three fingers, his soling ashould actually be FASTER, maybe not complex but at least faster than he plays. And black metal does have solos, i've heard black metal bands with solos although that's mostly 80s black metal, when it was more thrash oriented.
Also, how does the Infinite abyss" comment show I confuse metal with hard rock??? Some hard rock bands, such as aerosmith,
Meh, it depends. I personally consider a solo where the singer stops singing and there are a lot of guitar notes being played(or the singer is barely singing) and some black metal bands do have soloish things. And Jimi Hendrix, whilst he was around before metal was really a term, he was closer to metal than all of those bands. if you took away his epic bluesness(cause some of his songs straight covers to the point they were very close to the original songs)
thats not what i meant. like black metal bands do have what could be considered solos, just really really REALLY easy to play and last like 10 seconds.
And hard rock started before Hendrix, and his style is more akin to early metal.
That's really sad if you took a rock history class. And no, a wah pedal is used in tons of styles of music, from metal to rock to indie, etc. Jimi hendrix was just one of the first(if not the first) to use it extensively. And he also used distorted amps, he rarely used a fuzzbox except live sometimes for obvious reasons(can't really get a clean tone out a broken and vice versa) he would modify amps to create natural distortion like a lot of early rock bands did: The Who did it, the Beatles did

@ak47mustang He follows in the footsteps of earlier characters such as Bowie and Lou Reed, and Alice Cooper, creating characters for show. This is fused with the experience of a thriving goth and post-punk scene through the 80's. I have long stopped paying attention to his releases, but for reference: Antichrist Superstar is a great album, Smells Like Children, Mechanical Animals. Lady Gaga has picked up his flamboyant expression, but I don't believe her, and her music is shit.

i hope your joking. this music has NO relation to blues. Metal was invented by TONY IOMMI with the goal of scaring people with music as horror movies scare their viewer. EXAMPLE: Pantera: heavy, not metal!!!! Xasthur: metal!!!! Metallica: heavy, not metal!!!! Shadows Fall: heavy, not metal!!!! Sunn: Heavy AND Metal!!!!!! dont tell me off, thats just the way tony explained it to me!
sunnoisamazing 2 years ago
this IS blues essentially (i mean this very song) it has the typical blues structure listen to the harmony: the tonic, 4th and 5th note.
it may not sound like bb king but from the theorical perspective IS blues... and btw, what makes a good artists is innovation and not just develop a genre over and over like your friend tony does... have you heard about some guys named fripp and/or frith?
navespacial 2 years ago 4
excuse me? thats Mr. Iommi. lol dont you think what tony did by creating the world's most popular genre was innovative? and blues is just a label for a certain typre of music. while this song may follow a similar patter, it is not blues and has virtually no relation to it because of the deep meaning in their music which is a completly different musical mentality. so how are old black guys crying related to young white guys trying to scare you? thats just my opinion, dont yell at me lol

tonny iommi wasn't the creator of metal. and even if he was, his kind of metal is very different from today's metal.
AshesWasHerName 2 years ago 2
Toni Iommi didn't create metal. He was the guitarist for black sabbath. No one band created metal: Black sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly, and the Who all had elements that eventually formed to create heavy metal.
Grunge00125 2 years ago
Yeah... those bands pioneered the sound but it was black sabbath that became the 1st pure heavy metal band.
FutileExistence 2 years ago
Actually Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple started before Black Sabbath and both are a lot closer to metal than Sabbath is. Black Sabbath just introduced the large ammounts of distortion. People think Black Sabbath was the first metal band because they were the first band to accept the term as a lot of hard rock musicians hated being called metal. But when Ozzy was in Sabbath they were just heavy blues rock.
Grunge00125 2 years ago
No... you are wrong in many accounts.
Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin did not start before Black Sabbath (they all started in 1968) and if you go back in time... Black Sabbath's roots began in 1964 as the Polka Tulk Blues Band.
Plus Led Zeppelin is not even metal man and Deep Purple did not become metal until later in their career, get your stuff straight. You didn't think that Black Sabbath didn't like being called metal either??? The same with Chuck Schuldiner and Death Metal???
FutileExistence 2 years ago
But see, Death has all of the essential things that make up Death metal. So that's different. Black Sabbath was just slow hard rock, and had very few things that eventually made into modern metal. They popularized the use of power chords(which at the time very few bands used) and the dark, abrasive overtones. Led Zeppelin had solos in almost every song(a metal stable that Sabbath lacked at tomes) and Deep Purple had the speed. There's also other less known bands such as the Yardbirds and
Grunge00125 2 years ago
and Iron Butterfly that in reality contributed more to metal than Black sabbath did(solos, fast playing, keyboards, etc.) and in the 70s Led Zeppelin was considered metal. So was Deep Purple. And again: both bands contributed more to it than Black sabbath: Black Sabbath merely gave the general dark theme of metal but as far as playing goes, they didn't do much for the genre. And black sabbath didn't care about what people called their genre after their first 2 albums.
Grunge00125 2 years ago
Do you know what was considered the first heavy metal recording??? Summertime Blues by Blue Cheer. And no... those characteristics were first in hard rock which would later give birth into metal.
So no... Led Zeppelin was NEVER considered heavy metal but hard rock and Deep Purple BECAME Heavy Metal LATER ON IN THEIR CAREER!!!
Black Sabbath was considered the first REAL heavy metal band in history. Finally perfecting the heavy and dark blues sound in metal so they are the main contributors...
FutileExistence 2 years ago
Led Zeppelin was considered heavy metal. I've read a biography on them, look up various random things that have called them heavy metal, and know people who were die hard fans of the band back in the day: they were considered heavy metal. And so was early Deep Purple.
And again, Black Sabbath is so much closer to blues rock than anything else. Ozzy has even stated that their first 3 albums were blues rock and that he had no intention of them even being considered hard rock.
Grunge00125 2 years ago
Man... why can't ypu accept the fact that Black Sabbath is considered about just about all metalheads to be the first metal band and are not "heavy blues" like you say???
FutileExistence 2 years ago
Actually I've heard many musicians both fsamous and non say that the first metal band was Iron Butterfly, Led Zeppelin(actually a shit load of people do consider led zep the first metal band) Grateful Dead(i know, rediculous), The Yardbirds, the Jimi Hendrix experience, I could keep going. the point being: A lot of metal bands are considered the first metal band. Black Sabbath is sometimes considered the first metal band because they were the first to embrace the term metal, whereas most bands
Grunge00125 2 years ago
that's not true. They did not embrace themselves as metal until the times of Black Sabbath. Their roots go back to 64' with the Polka Tulk Blues Band.
FutileExistence 2 years ago
Also, a lot of heavy metal bands after say 1975 labeled Led Zep and Deep purple(along with grateful dead, iron butterfly, the yardbyrds, etc.) as metal and not sabbath. Sabbath is generally assumed to be the first metal band despite their influence not going very far outside of early heavy metal bands and Doom/Drone metal. and if you really want to be technical: Iron butterfly created the term Heavy Metal and their album has all of the elements of metal but with less distortion.
Grunge00125 2 years ago
That's bullshit and you know it... and its funny that you talk when your name is based on a lame genre of music.
FutileExistence 2 years ago
hated being grouped into thatcategory, Black Sabbath was the first to not really care and eventually started saying "yeah, we are metal!". But as far as I am concerned, The Yardbirds, Led zeppelin, hell even the Jimi Hendrix experience is more metal than Black Sabbath(long solos, complex guitar playing, massive distortion, raspy vocals(on some songs). Black Sabbath=slow, overdriven(Tony Iommi used Overdrive at first, not distortion) songs with creepy lyrics, which does not make metal.
Grunge00125 2 years ago
@Grunge00125 Can you please tell me how in the hell, the Yard Birds and Zeppelin are more metal than Sabbath. Really please cause i have to hear this shit. I dont want that bullshit you said up there either cause that was a fail.
guitarplayer1776 2 years ago
Metal= complex(well, relatively depending on what genre and band) guitar playing, lots of solos, harsh vocals(whether it's high pitched or growling), and very distorted guitar. Zeppelin and the Yardbirds both have much more complex guitar work than Sabbath, their singing is closer to bands like Iron Maiden, Metal Church, etc. you know, high pitched metal vocals, they both used a lot of distortion(well the yardbirds used more of overdrive not really distortion) and both bands had amazing solos
Grunge00125 2 years ago
that, when played live, were usually drawn out and even on some songs, lasted from 30 seconds to several minutes. They both also had drum and bass solos(although again, these were usually live). Black Sabbath on the other hand, played slow(well, slow to mid tempo with a few fast songs), simple songs, with Ozzy's unique singing, and live they pretty much played exactly like on their albums aside from a few songs like War Pigs that would sometimes go into drawn out jams. Their solos are,
Grunge00125 2 years ago
very easy(well, some of their later stuff with ozzy were okay) and just didn't do much except create the dark atmosphere for metal. That's all they did, their guitar playing is nothing like most metal bands, not many bands after, say 1971 call them an influence except for the fact that they're considered the first or an early metal band. I respect the band for what they did, but that doesn't change that they didn't do much.
Grunge00125 2 years ago
Plus there are a bunch of bands from the 60s and early 70s that are even closer to metal than that, but most of them aren't well known as they never hit success and onyl released a record or two(at a time when bands made 2 albums every 1 or 2 years). Even Black Sabbath has admitted there were metal bands before them and some of their influences were earlier metal bands. No 1 band created metal and no band is the first metal band.
Grunge00125 2 years ago
where are you getting this information from??? cause it sounds like you are talking out of your ass...
FutileExistence 2 years ago
no, I got it from random band biographies, and documentaries, books on metal, etc. etc. And Tony Iommi has stated that Black Sabbath isn't the first metal band. And if you wanna date WAY back, then the YARDBIRDS which are older than Sabbath. And hell, even The Who had a lot of things that would later be found in metal. Again, no 1 band created metal nor is there really the first metal band.
Grunge00125 2 years ago
Really??? "awesome guitar solos" define metal??? You fail...
Did you happen to hear me say that the origins of black sabbath go back to 1964 as the Tulsa Blues Band??? I bet you did not. They go back before the yardbirds did...
FutileExistence 2 years ago
If you really wanna bring up shit like that, the Yardbirds go back to 1962 as the Metropolitan Blues Quartet. And other than "core" genre and doom/drone/sludge metal, most forms of metal include LOTS of guitar solos. Almost every form of metal has guitar solos on most of the band's songs, and usually they are awesome when compared to other forms of music(this would also, obviously, be dependent on one's taste in guitar styles.). So the yardbirds go before Sabbath. And I'm sure they were all in
Grunge00125 2 years ago
"most forms of metal include LOTS of guitar solos."
NOT!!! There is also black metal and what not. Guitar solos do NOT!!!! define metal when will you understand that?!?!! Oh and Black Sabbath had some pretty sick solos as well and NOT JUST BY GUITAR!!!
The bands you are talking about are HARD ROCK!!!! NOT METAL!!!!!!
FutileExistence 2 years ago
Black sabbath has pretty much shit solos. And death metal, thrash metal, heavy metal, deathcore/metalcore(at times) cross over thrash, blackened death metal, grindcore, powerviolence, speed metal, I could go on with metal genres that all have solos ALOT. Hell, even some black metal bands have a lot of solos. In fact I think i've heard more solos in the infinite abyss of metal subgenres than i ever have in hard rock.
Grunge00125 2 years ago
Then you must be smoking some good pot because Tony Iommi can do things with 3 fingers that most people with 5 fingers cant. And Black metal doesn`t really do solos, they do fast tremolo picking...
¨In fact I think i've heard more solos in the infinite abyss of metal subgenres than i ever have in HARD ROCK.¨
hahaha!! You just gave it away that you CLEARLY confuse hard rock with metal!!!
FutileExistence 2 years ago
i could play pretty much every pre dio black sabbath solo after playing guitar for 6 months. and considering he only uses three fingers, his soling ashould actually be FASTER, maybe not complex but at least faster than he plays. And black metal does have solos, i've heard black metal bands with solos although that's mostly 80s black metal, when it was more thrash oriented.
Also, how does the Infinite abyss" comment show I confuse metal with hard rock??? Some hard rock bands, such as aerosmith,
Grunge00125 2 years ago
That depends on which genre on metal you are listening to... expect a lot of solos from certain genres.
But no... most black metal is simple and fast and doom metal above all doesn't do solos.
"Also, how does the Infinite abyss" comment show I confuse metal with hard rock???"
I see what you mean now, I though that you meant that metal was WITHIN hard rock!!!
Nevertheless... guitar solos are not what defines metal. Because take a look at Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Led Zeppelin, etc.
FutileExistence 2 years ago
Meh, it depends. I personally consider a solo where the singer stops singing and there are a lot of guitar notes being played(or the singer is barely singing) and some black metal bands do have soloish things. And Jimi Hendrix, whilst he was around before metal was really a term, he was closer to metal than all of those bands. if you took away his epic bluesness(cause some of his songs straight covers to the point they were very close to the original songs)
Grunge00125 2 years ago
"soloish things."
haha!!! they are called riffs man... Jimi Hendrix is AND DEFINED HARD ROCK!!!
FutileExistence 2 years ago
thats not what i meant. like black metal bands do have what could be considered solos, just really really REALLY easy to play and last like 10 seconds.
And hard rock started before Hendrix, and his style is more akin to early metal.
Grunge00125 2 years ago
not really... it doesn't matter how long it is. Most black metal, doom metal, brutal death, etx. don't do solos.
"And hard rock started before Hendrix"
no... not really. He was innovative for the use distortion, wah-wah pedal and fuzz box. Those are characteristic of hard rock!!
Hard rock sounds dirty, metal sounds clean but heavy. Quit pretending you know more than me, I took a rock history class!!!!
FutileExistence 2 years ago
That's really sad if you took a rock history class. And no, a wah pedal is used in tons of styles of music, from metal to rock to indie, etc. Jimi hendrix was just one of the first(if not the first) to use it extensively. And he also used distorted amps, he rarely used a fuzzbox except live sometimes for obvious reasons(can't really get a clean tone out a broken and vice versa) he would modify amps to create natural distortion like a lot of early rock bands did: The Who did it, the Beatles did
