***** That means you do care. If you COULD care less, that means you have the capacity to care less. Which means you care a little bit. It's "I couldn't care less". I couldn't care less that you couldn't care less about what I listen to either.
Hey, today I learned about the "fun chord", the diki diki dout wow-Transition and the dropped D George Lynchy chord. Thank You Mark & Chris! The way I figure, it's the simple way of explaining one's music which helps common people to grasp the theory, the concept and the intention behind! Greetings from a Fan
I'm a drummer, and it really frustrates me when guitarists know nothing about rhythm, or at least some terms of it so we can effectively communicate. A good example is at 2:12 when he does the common galloping- kind of strumming (3 16th notes followed by a 16th not rest), but he calls it a triplet, and that makes a huge difference.
I don't know, depends on their goals as a band. Most people have never heard of nor want to listen to a band called Suicide Silence, much less after listening to them
Bobby Van Stone Suicide Silence is one of the most well known deathcore bands and they have over 3 million likes at Facebook so I guess they have done alright.
Here's everything they said in this video summed up in a few words: "I have no idea what I'm doing, but I think it sounds pretty brootle." They can't even explain the subdivision of the triplets for their 'intro'. I can't believe I used to like this band.
I'm not huge on SS but after watching a good bit of his podcast, I love that his voice hasn't changed in any way from there to here. He's one of those people that could never disguise his voice. We know it's him lol
Everyone hating on them having no talent but do you realize they're both playing steph carpenter sigs (who admits to not being a crazy good player) and they both each have more than a few of their own signatures. It's easy to chug yeah, but it's hard to really make somethin Rythmic, heavy and catchy like they do
I don't like to bash. period. But I think the reasoning behind so much people's hate is that all their material, all the riffs, and pretty much everything they do is extremely repetitive, it all sounds recycled, and I'm not pointing my finger just at Suicide Silence, just like every "Deathcore" band, or whatever people label them, they ALL chug on that same tritone chord in Drop A tuning. It's not so much to do with the simplicity of it. There are a lot of metal artists that play simple music, and sound alot more diversified than these guys. Even some bands of the same sector(genre). Anyway, that's my reasoning for understanding maybe why people bash this band so much.
because everyone who's not doing it are mad that they can't get a gig because they spent there lives in a bedroom playing with themselves and think there awesome because they know every scale but have no social skills or charisma and are so consumed with how great they are but can't keep real time with a real drummer and have no feel!! but these dudes don't know shit about all that they started in the garage with friends and did it because they love music and have feel.... no they are not technical but they have feel and can make a bunch of people happy and themselves happy fuck the shit talkers you don't see them on a stage!!! I'd rather jam with those with a love for the jam then those with God complex jam bands smile and have fun. even death-grind-sludge and stoner metal and as I said there the ones on the stage and you haters... keep on hating if there like me it only pushes you harder which makes you better!!!!!
William Canavan You hit the nail on the head. Technicality does not make good music. Feel and songwriting skills makes good music. You can write better music with 3 notes than some people who write music with 10 different scales and chords.
Funny how everyone is too busy searching for a thousand different reasons to call this "shit" If you only put that much energy in search of suicide silence songs you might like to broaden your playlists, you'd be much better off But hey it's your life
Them saying "triplets" is probably just to use an easier term for most guitarists. A lot of us are good at what we do and probably care less about 4 notes 16th notes 4 beats per half measure on the treble cleff shit
@ericgeving ok, so 6 string guitar is tuned to EADGBE right? 7 String adds a b above the low e on the neck so that you can get an octave, of the 2nd string b, a new lower string then E. What these guys did is took the new low b string, the thickest, or seventh string, and tuned it to A so that they could get a lower ballsier tone.
This is Metal, not classical music. Who gives a shit if they know proper terminology and/or theory, the riffs are aggressive, heavy and groovy as hell.
see,when you know theory you can write songs/riffs that dont sound this FUCKING HORRID,its like some jackass that just learned to drop tune then played whatever he could muster up.that crap is in the top 3-4 shittiest riffs of eternity
+joesatriani1200rulez Those bands aren't as aggressive. They're good, not aggressive. Personally, I enjoy bands like Morbid Angel and Insomnium, mostly for their intensity and lyrical themes.
"Totally, it's a power chord....it's a power chord with...it's got the- it's got the same like...like diminished kinda....It's definitely a fun chord." Oh yeah, I get it.
bandwagoning is getting old quickly. Life is too short to not have an appreciation towards music. Although suicide silence may not be my favorite band like they used to be, I can still appreciate their dedication and patience to being musicians. Theres a serious lack of that these days and its disgusting.
I think mark said it was diminished because he was confusing diminished and augmented. And rather than thinking with respect to the tonic he was thinking about the interval between the top note and the perfect fifth being played on the E string between the two A strings. Especially since the down tempo filler measure where Mitch hits the super low and guttural “bludgeoned” at the end of the first set of verses uses augmented chords on the 1 and 3. Which is kinda genius since this gives a sense of movement for the latter half of the song because that part is built off of diminished fifths and it all resolves on a perfect fifth. And they divide up and resolve these ideas in a very Wagnerian way. Where Wagner will tease an idea and leave it unresolved only to bring it back again after a while and only then resolve it as a story telling musical device.
