  • totally not metal

  • huh. This reminded me more of Glam Metal or modern rock than any sort of good metal.

  • I personally like drop C....and in that tuning my Warlock GROWLS!!!! AND I MEAN DEATH METAL GROWLS!!! But lower tunings dont equal more heavyness. It all has to do with your hands and what and how your playing.

  • @CentraCross That's not Iommi style, that's Glam metal style.

    Listen to something like Children of the Grave then to this, they don't sound at all alike.

    Not to mention there are metal guitarists these days who can come up with riffs that are far heavier, and beautiful than even the stuff Sabbath pulled off. The two best examples probably being Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth and Frederik Thordendal of Meshuggah.

  • Yes THIS IS Metal.

    This is IOMMI style guitar playing = more Metal than any lame-ass guitar player of today's metal bands could ever come up with.

  • haha. metal. haha. he likes to think so.

  • this isn't even metal.... let alone heavy metal.

  • @OndskapensHersker Unless you're talking like Drop G, or Drop A lmao. Even B. Idk no matter what you try to play in those tunings it's going to be heavy and disgusting.

  • @pauljpetersen99 Lower tunings sound lower. NOT heavy.

  • LOLOLOL DETUNE GUITAR TO DROP C ONLY PLAY PALM MUTE = METAL!

    FUCK NO! DETUNE YOUR GUITAR TO DROP TUNINGS DOESNT MAKE A RIFF "HEAVY" OR "METAL" IT JUST MAKES IT SOUND LOWER!
