Downing's been gone for a few years also. They're going on tour too, but the tickets are outrageously priced (at least the show closed to me is). Seen them before? I was lucky enough to be front row when they came to Perth in around 2009.(that's a guess as I drink too much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was exposed since infancy with nothing but Vai, Satriani, Dream Theater, Bozzio, King Crimson, Toto. His favourite lullaby is Vai, he can't sleep without it. When he was around 5 or 7, it was his death-metal phase. Now, him being 15 years old, he's listening to Luca Turilli's Rhapsody and all those bands of the like.

Dr. Gonzo 8,184 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Thanks to Spotify, I've come across a few good modern thrash bands from the continent. There's Italy's Ultra-Violence, and two Spanish bands - Angelus Apatrida from Albacete & Crisix from Barcelona. Kind of cool to find new good thrash bands.

Randy was way ahead of his generation. this has got to be one of the most melodic guitar solos of all time ................... let's add the riff of Crazy Train in the mix too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Hoglan and Dave Mustaine would probably be in mine too! That lineup you've chosen would be pretty cool, Atheist has some insane base lines, Dave Mustaine's written some furious riffs, Gene Hoglan is my favourite drummer next to my friend Carlos Cruz (but I'm a bit biased as I'm friends with him lol), and early Pantera was the shit. Would for sure have the potential to sound weird, because of the base, but that rhythm section has phenomenal talent and I'm sure Mustaine could work with them. Would be a very very cool supergroup!

Samuel Eto'o 77 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 This is one of the most melodic death metal albums out there. I liken them to the Beatles of death metal A metal classic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo 8,184 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Death is such a great band. They don't really have any bad albums, in fact each album is an iconic death metal album in it's own right - and they're probably the band that's influenced the genre the most. But it's made all the more impressive that each album has it's own unique character (although I'm sure the fact that Chuck had essentially a new lineup for each album plays a huge part in that - and everyone he used was very, very talented). The Sound of Perseverance is an absolute masterpiece, it's possibly my favourite Death album - alongside Symbolic. But I think each of their albums is very very good. And while I think Gene Hoglan is probably the best metal drummer ever... the drumming on Sound of Perseverance is some of the best I've ever heard imo.

Samuel Eto'o 77 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Love Viking Metal, Black Metal and Folk Metal @bozziovai @Dr. Gonzo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff_uv337yIE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZEcwKICRsc Don't really listen to the metal genres too much nowadays cos they can bring out the OCD in me lol. Guys, you talk about being a "music snob"? I used to be very much one in every sense of the description. For practically all genres of music, truly esoteric ones too. Just as an example I went through a phase where I steadfastly refused to listen to anything that was recorded after the 1920s Just to throw some random names out there: Dock Boggs, Charley Patton, Mississippi John Hurt, Fletcher Henderson etc. etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum. Being a Scorpio, I can be kinda complex: I was a jock, but I was also that guy in the used CD store rummaging and looking for the most esoteric genres and CDs ever. It became exhausting. Unbalanced my life. Nowadays I'm much more "mainstream", part of my way of blending in I suppose. For example, was just listening to Liam Payne and Rita Ora's "For You" Surprisingly good effort, as is Taylor Swift's "Style". Anyone familiar with the Jump Blues genre here? Wynonie Harris one of my favorite artists of them all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy-_RHT_jgc Also can never go wrong with early King Diamond.

Dr. Gonzo 8,184 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Because of the recent Death discussion on here, I've gone on a bit of a kick listening to a shitload of them. Bass players in metal are often overlooked... but I think Steve DiGiorgio's a pretty great bassist. If I were to answer my own question re: the supergroup stuff, I'd probably have 3 Death members in it (Gene Hoglan, Di Giorgio, and Chuck) throw in some of Exodus's Gary Holt and... Rob fucking Halford of Judas Priest and I think you've got the potential for a weird yet awesome band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
