You can be the best guitar player in the world, but if you don't have a ounce of creativity all that technical skill just makes you a guitar player and not a musician.
I agree, Alot of people give crap because it's easy, but some of the most famous songs have three cords to them. I love shredding guitars but simple is good too.
Ok this isn't Yngwie Malmsteen, Caccophony, Chris Broderick. This is Static X. The focus isn't technicality, it's the psycho-science of what sounds good when using the most basic elements of music. Shred metal is the total opposite.

In a way i can see why people don't like Static-X, its heavy and tight music, but its very simple and very easy to play aswell, either way i do love their music.
@jonpguitar yeah i agree, their new style is hard to get used to. but i have too, since they mean alot to me as a band. yeah and wayne static fucking sucks. sorry for being a bit agressive back then.
That guy needs to learn better english if he wants anyone to pay attention to him. I didn't understand a damn thing he said, I guess he speaks with his guitar.
and my personal rant, which is why I started...hahaha
Their stuff is simple, but theres nothing wrong with simple. Rob Zombie uses simple rythms and riffs and that rocks. AC/DC was all simple riffs over mostly 4/4 rock - biggest band in the world...
Sometimes I just wanna chill and nod my head in time... and sometimes I want the faceless technically arranged chaos. Both ahve a place. Dont mock talent. and never assume talent=complexity.
cont... 7:09 ..."I mean, this distortion guitar has very dominating, strong sound so thats why yknow its dominate whole music but in our head we pay attention to more hi-hat... Its gotta be..yknow all these sounds have to be arranged pretty well inside the music otherwise all these sounds clashing each other yknow, it doesnt work..."
@ the guy that dissed on Wayne. Actually, a power chord includes two octaves and a harmony. And of course the theory geeks would say it's sad to gain fame without being technical! Creativity reigns supreme ppl!
@jon1151 Because it is. Their music is not that complicated. Groove heavy music generally is, repetition and simplicity are important for their style of music.
I love house simple their music is and how jammable it still is despite the simplicity. Technical guitar playing doesn't always make the music good. My 2 cents
@JasonM2691 Man what a dick comment. They say repeatedly how easy this shit is and to not be amazed because it's just foundation. Then you have the audacity to mock them for simplicity and claim they are amazed with themselves. How many bands do you know use two guitars to split notes between the two? Go fuck yourself all 25 of you thumbs up faggots.
@JasonM2691 Haha. He seemed pretty humble to me, and kept reiterating the fact that their stuff is simple to play. I personally think the concept of getting rich or famous off of very simple music is ingenious!
gotta love the people who watch these videos and complain. Creativity outweighs any technical ability. In the music industry if you dont have creativity your a lost cause no matter how much you can shred. Some of the best and heaviest riffs ever written were simple. Guitar should be fun and meant to fit the song. All these people who want to turn everything into a competition are a waste. If you want technical music dont look up static x plain and simple.
@18266609 so true, Kirk Hammett learned theory in school and was taught extra technical ability by Joe Satriani but he came up with one of guitar's most simple and well known riffs ("Enter Sandman" for those who don't know)
even some of the greatest lead guitarists like Dime and Zakk amongst others hate pointless shredding if it doesn't suit the song, most of their songs were fairly simple too with no fretboard wankery involved
@sgtraytango exactly.(finally someone who knows what theyre talking about). I mean its cool to hear a song with shredding in it and some technical riffs because its interesting at times, but some bands get too carried away with it and end up ruining the song trying to be the center of attention. I just look at it like if i wanna hear technical music i wouldnt go to static x for it and i would never bitch about it on one of their videos because thats not them. Wayne even says it in the video.
It makes me sad to see that someone with almost zero technical guitar ability, or even any shred of theory can become so well known and mainstream. A power chord stretches an octave, that's what it is. It's been around since the birth of guitar Mr. Static.
Wayne Static is a musical genuis! Technicality isn't always everything. The other asian guitarist they had in the band was also good, this Koichi dude... He's shit. I can't understand anything he says anyway... And any hater can say what they like, these okes sold millions of albums worldwide, once you've done that, then you can chirp...
@cyanide02 Lol! Dude! I honestly didn't! Haha! I'm actually reading up now, cause I've seen the music video for The Only and they got that other dude, Tripp Eisen, and I was a little confused... But the Koichi just looks a bit more intellegent with long hair and no mustache! :D
@MooseboyBrett haha! easy mistake to be made dude. Yeah Tripp got kicked out because of sleeping with minors or something, it was quite bad lol! It's a shame really because i liked what Tripp brought to the band but they had to do what they had to do lol!
@MooseboyBrett Album sales doesn't equal talent lol How many untalented fucks can you name that sell tons of albums because of good marketing and publicity? A LOT! These guys were on TRL for christ's sake, that's why they sold albums. Now they're underground...as in where are they now?
@MindstormRecs Wayne is making music and the band is on hiatus. Not really underground if people still know the name of the band and are buying the records.
@SLNightmare I wouldn't go so far as to say that. There are lots of technically skilled guitarists who make it a point to strip things down to very simple aspects and use other tools to make things interesting. Perhaps you're right, but I'm willing to bet Wayne has some chops hiding away in his bag of goodies.
@gonzo5648 You're probably right man. Its just painful to see a decent instrument put to such boring use ya know, there's no quirk or innovation to the playing. But yeah, stripping things down to basic components is always interesting in a mix.
@SLNightmare I agree with you competly. Nothing wrong with stripped down instruments, but metal is a genre where most people practice their lives away to get to the skill level to play metal. It is not for people of the musical skill level of Kurt Cobain. I hated this era of nu metal because of it's attack on the technicality that metal has always displayed.
Thats EXACTLY the thing i like. I don't need a song full of solo's and that kind of stuff, i want to jump around, headbanging and go fucking crazy while playing guitar. I don't want to look at my fingers all the time because the song is too complicated. No. Like Wayne said: Simple, tight stuff.
That's how I write music. I grew up playing music in large groups orchestras etc from age 7 mainly on wind instruments and came to guitar when 16. When you play music in groups from an early age you learn how to put all the instruments in perspective to form the finished sound. So yeah you can have a song where it's not all about the guitar and other instruments can take the fore in the arrangement. I reckon the best songs are the ones that do this, instead of showboating ego mad guitarists
Is this video a joke? "I came up with the idea on my own" Yeah, Wes Montgomery was doing octaves 60 years ago. Then the riff they play is the same riff from a Korn song. "We try to keep our riffs very simple" Yeah, so the simple minded wil be impressed. Just another example of the dumbing down going on lately.
@paradigm0shift he admits that he doesn't any guitarists he's heard that do that. and they're not impressing anyone, you think that they went to guitar world and said "interview us"? you my good sir are simple minded.
@eric6manson - Unfortunately the quality isn't what it should be. It's looks like an Ibanez but could be a Schecter as well. Sorry for the lack of clarity
Simple music that sounds fucken great. and they dont think they are awesome musicians, they just enjoy playing and writing their music, and there a fun band to listen to Live, Makes me wanna head butt things. All you wanks who go on about how thier lazy and not tecnical, who cares go practice your scales and leave me to my wall of crunch
@TheSooostoned dude chill, im the biggest fucking metal head ever, and im commenting coz im a guitarist as well, and they just seem to have no guitar techniques at all :p but i'll give them credit for their song writing, because obviously they wouldnt be where they are if they wrote shit songs
Sooooo bad..I mean sure you dont have to be flashy to write a good song but this is just ridiculous, why intentionally limit yourself like this?! If I want to listen to insanely simple formulaic songs ill listen to pop music like the Jonas Brothers or something..one of the things I like about metal is the imagination and intricacies of the musicians which this really lacks, lazy lazy guys.
@MetalguitarlessonsUK i guess ac/dc isnt any better than jonas brothers huh? its about song writing! not to see who can play as many sweeps as they can in four minutes
@MetalguitarlessonsUK.... You nailed it dude! I hate overly technical bands but overly simple bands are just as bad or worse.... How do these people give this guy credit for writing a song with two chords??? WTF??? Also anyone who compares Wayne to the mighty Max Cavalera needs his/her head checked!!! Listen to the early sepultura albums and you will hear some skill....
God damn they suck at guitar. Really they say that the main vocal point of the band isn't the guitar but really everything else in the band is simplistic and generic as well. The only reason why they don't play other more technically accomplished things has nothing to do with the fact they like it simplistic, they're just to lazy to progress themselves.
@mkmoloch I applaud Static X for breaking the standard belief that if it's not complicated, it's not good. You can be the most technically gifted guitarist to ever walk the earth, but if you can't write music with emotion and feeling, you're useless.
@InaGameComa Yes, In your opinion. See you can't make an opinion on skill because you either are, or are not skilled. You either are, or are not technical. On the other hand opinions vary in regards to song writing, and that is why people listen to multitudes of different genres. You would say that some band sucks at songwriting, but that is just your opinion. Other people out there like the band and their songwriting.
@InaGameComa exactly what I think when I watch those chinese child prodigies who can play classical guitar so amazing but competly lack soul and emotion
@InaGameComa i love static x and everything, and they were a great band, but this video is really uninformative. they didnt really tell any useful information. No disrespect to Static X tho!
@InaGameComa Yes Static X really showed everyone... They lasted like 2 nu metal years, sold max 160,000 copies of any album. Give me a break these guys were weak.
You can be the best guitar player in the world, but if you don't have a ounce of creativity all that technical skill just makes you a guitar player and not a musician.

@guitardotcomvideos Definitely an Ibanez. All Schecter's headstocks have 3-on-3 tuner configurations. That is an Ibanez with a reverse headstock.

Sooooo bad..I mean sure you dont have to be flashy to write a good song but this is just ridiculous, why intentionally limit yourself like this?! If I want to listen to insanely simple formulaic songs ill listen to pop music like the Jonas Brothers or something..one of the things I like about metal is the imagination and intricacies of the musicians which this really lacks, lazy lazy guys.

@MetalguitarlessonsUK.... You nailed it dude! I hate overly technical bands but overly simple bands are just as bad or worse.... How do these people give this guy credit for writing a song with two chords??? WTF??? Also anyone who compares Wayne to the mighty Max Cavalera needs his/her head checked!!! Listen to the early sepultura albums and you will hear some skill....

God damn they suck at guitar. Really they say that the main vocal point of the band isn't the guitar but really everything else in the band is simplistic and generic as well. The only reason why they don't play other more technically accomplished things has nothing to do with the fact they like it simplistic, they're just to lazy to progress themselves.

@mkmoloch
They know how to write catchy shit though, so it really doesn't matter how technical their stuff is.
ZmetalmanZ 1 year ago
@mkmoloch I applaud Static X for breaking the standard belief that if it's not complicated, it's not good. You can be the most technically gifted guitarist to ever walk the earth, but if you can't write music with emotion and feeling, you're useless.
InaGameComa 1 year ago 45
@InaGameComa Yes, In your opinion. See you can't make an opinion on skill because you either are, or are not skilled. You either are, or are not technical. On the other hand opinions vary in regards to song writing, and that is why people listen to multitudes of different genres. You would say that some band sucks at songwriting, but that is just your opinion. Other people out there like the band and their songwriting.
