The Challenge November 2011

Seventhson

They are just scared of the power of metal :?

Boy oh boy... Only "metal" I have left on my ipod is Evanescense. David crowder is not really metal.

Don, you about to find out how difficult that little peice of sheet music may pan out.... ?

Danny-B

I think I've watched enough metalocalypse to try this one!

DonovanB

I think the hardest part of this would be choosing what type of metal to go for.
Thrash, hair, death, nu-metal? Lots to choose. This won't be as simple as it may seem

That's actually quite a complex metal recipe.. for me it works like this:

Pedal-tone riff
Breakdown breakdown breakdown
Breakdown breakdown breakdown
Pedal tone riff
Breakdown breakdown breakdown
Breakdown breakdown breakdown
Harmonised lead
Breakdown breakdown breakdown
Breakdown breakdown breakdown

?

However, if we were speaking about blues it would just be:

Blues scale
Blues scale

And any other form of music:

D
G
E minor
A

So any genre can be broken down into its fundamental parts ?

Oh shucks - I forgot to deadline this challenge we started late so lets put the deadline at the very last second of 30 November 2011. There will be plenty of time to vote because traditionally we don't run challenges in December.

Thanks Rene. Was going to PM you later about that ?

I never get around to entering these things purely because of my own laziness.

So I really need to enter this one. I do feel some dual guitar harmonies coming on...and synths. Lots of synths!

Oh man, I cant remember the last time I laughed so hard over something I read on the internet! :roflmao: :dance: :roflmao:

Odd how things that are true can be so funny What? Im just saying... metal

Seventhson

Its in. Took me a few minutes to record. So I don't know if its any good.

chris77

When I grew up 'metal' was ac/dc and metallica. (Even Bon Jovi and Aerosmith if you believed the buitelug-skool ooms.? )
See, an evening of trying has firmly established I don't have the chops for modern metal. So maybe I will rather try something old-school and see how that goes...

Recap:

The genre is Metal. Any style.
2 minute performance max.
1-5 instruments plus a dedicated vocalist if necessary Instrumentalists may provide backup vocals/harmonies Synthesizer samples allowed Drumkit and additional percussion allowed

Hi Chris this kind of makes it very open...as far as I can see

Squonk

There is even a Metal Ballad?? Acoustic Guitar Metal??

evolucian

I haven't done metal for many years... and havent picked up my guitar and played anything (let alone practiced) for quite a few months now. My arms are now punier than what they were... picking up a plectrum is quite a workout.

But... I think I will give this a shot... I will really really try. Metal ballad is still metal!!!! And I can't shred for shit at the moment... soooooo... that leaves Neil Young rhythm and maybe something like Kurt Cobain solo... yep... those two players styles will have to do cos thats all I can play like at the moment. I'm gonna win!!!!!!

Seventhson

I see its not as easy as everyone thought it would be ? :-[ ?

Yea. 'Any style' would certainly encompass Hard Rock too I guess, Kiss, even Journey I would think.

I was looking at some MIDI drum files in the metal genre that were for sale at a website that specializes in MIDI drum tracks. They also had a Hard Rock set. Listening to the demo's that had music along with the drum tracks.....that Hard Rock set sounded like what I would call Metal. The actual Metal files......yikes!!!! Double kick at 165bpm's etc etc...really frantic. I have no clue what that is..... have never sat down to figure out the differences between thrash, speed, death, Nu, stoner......whatever Metal.

Just dial in the overdrive and play hard....you'll be okay. ?
