"Heavy Metal Thread"

We really needed a thread for the world's premier type of music, so I created one, and here it is.

Rock on!

www.rockoffshop.co.uk offer good service but their stuff is limited.

I got this [URL]http://rockoffshop.co.uk/popup.cfm?p_n=42917&p_i=42917[/URL] from them a while ago, and it came in 3 days. 3! That was great.

Also, with a better selection of stock is: TShirtsVille, [URL]http://www.tshirtsville.com[/URL]. I ordered from there a while ago but it took about a month to come.

Can anyone actually solo like 'Vai though?

Anyway.

Where can I get decent "band" t-shirts from? (online retailer if possible)

Slipknot - People=sh*t: 237bpm.

I foyu really want a challenge try the solo to Steve Vai's 'The Riddle', its the fastest anyone has ever been recorded playing, 20.8 notes per second to be exact. And thats alternate picking, not tapping.

Damn, where's the emo thread gone?

:P

Metallica are good. Iron Maiden are cool. Ummmm........

I like Rage too. A lot.

And er......other types of rock.

Heavy heavy metal just don't interest me.

Astronomy, I must re get that song. I remember when I first got broadband I was really into Metallica at the time and I went on a downloading spree and that was one of the songs that I got. Can't really remember it anymore since I lost it in several HD formats since then but interestingly enough I'm really into Metallica again now. So I'll have to get it.
It was a cover wasn't it?



I don't know if anyone's seen this but it rocks; Zakk Wylde sitting in a hotel room (apparently) with his guitar. Unfortunately it's 22 megs and is in Quicktime format but it's really worth a watch.

Astronomy by Metallica also deserves a mention. Amazing song.

Mattias Ia Eklundh is must listen to Fifo. Lydia's House, Lisa's Passion For Heavy Metal and Revenge Of The Bambi Loving Terrorist are amazing songs. And he recorded all of his album, Freak Guitar, in his bathroom.

I've been playing for a looong time on and off. However it has only been in the past two years or so, since I got myself a new Stratocaster and Marshall amp, that I have started playing again.

Aha, I have been converting friends one by one to the greatness of Satch and the like for a while now, so we have a fair few going down to the Albert Hall :)

On topic: Bruce Dickenson's solo stuff is fantastic, and Maiden have too many good songs to just pick one.

I wanted to go to Ozzfest but it's over the other side of the world. Oh well.

Biggles, how long have you been playing?
