Straight up, I have often thought that much of the metal music I listen to is kinda reminiscent of Spanish guitar melodies but being played on electric guitar. And now this😂
The most important thing is whether or not it sounds good. Most of the time this makes a more coherent song than some of the songs polyphia writes. They are a prime example of how skill does not equal good songwriting.
Funny that back in the day, this was just called "Heavy Metal", but now that you dissect it into groups, I can sure hear the differences and can almost name groups and their sounds like Black Sabbath, Metallica, Queen, Iron Maiden, Rob Zombie, and more!
I thought the title said "Modern Metal Gear" and I was like "do people not understand hideo kojima again" and it took me all of 10 seconds of confusion to realise this was not about Metal Gear.
Now for the top 10 hardest riffs! 1. Beating Around The Bush 2. Riff Raff 3. Landslide 4. This Means War 5. Thunderstruck 6. The Razors Edge 7. The Honey Roll 8. Stormy May Day 9. Baptism By Fire 10. Code Red
Drinking game: Take a shot every time someone comments “As a metal listener, this is what modern metal sounds like to me” as if it hasn’t been commented before.
