that doesn't seem compatible

I hope she doesn't do a barrel roll

i hope brian peppers doesn't come in

who is that

@Nester dio sucks

very pedestrian

oy

great vocalist

Holy Diver is good

Yeah, they're not that great

decent song but the riff is generic

But what I've listed is all that's not bad

no I meant the album

Holy Diver is good

actually I just like Vivian Campbell

a lot of it is due to dio being a control freak, dio insisting on writing the riffs, and dio not being more than okay at guitar

yeah dio made him use dio's riffs

I think it's fair

Heaven and Hell > Holy Diver

the album was already written between Dio and the bassist dude

before Campbell came in

yeah

and his solos were great

then dio pissed off the bassist dude and had nobody really left

the guitar solo is something that needs to be talked about I think

in the context of the metal song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJgHn7MeAwc

it isn't just a "guitar solo" as much as sometimes the main musical vehicle in older metal songs

depends.

you could consider the lyric portions a sort of operatic drama

like old greek music

in a lot of older metal songs, teh riff is just a rhythm riff

They just rehash their hits on Holy Diver in their consecutive albums

with a symphony in between or near the end

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sBkgI2tDmY

this is a diamond head riff

the whole rock n roll steppenwolf aesthetic sucked

And a venom riff

And plenty others surely

yep pasted together

It's a pretty common riff

probably half of NWOBHM bands had it lol

or the rhythm at least

it comes from motorhead

lol

who aren't really a nwobhm band

Motorhead is pretty much a nwobhm band

different song structure and riffing style

and leads

Ace of Spades is their only good song

Iron Fist?

the hammer?

And they play some variation in all their albums

motorhead is basically a riff that slowly changes into another riff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd6dtkuKvao

and then a random melody chopped up

always minor key

that ends in a solo

I dont like this song

Repeat the song title in the chorus

Song: Love me like a reptile

that's like 95% of metal songs

Ace ofI mean like REPTILE

Chorus: love me like a repTILE

even death/black metal songs

Song: Ace of space

Chorus: The ACE of SPADES

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23P3J5ovxsc

Going to test this with motorhead

great musicians though

Skipping to chorus

@Nester IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FOLLOW UP ON "LEGION"

AND IT GOT SLIGHTED

BECAUSE OF PRODUCTION

NOT BASSY ENOUGH

what album?

Legion's reception is tragic

deicide eventually became fully black metal

it's the best death metal album

it breaks through death metal

Chorus: Always gonna shoot you in the back

legion is halfway there

Song: Fast and Loose

what's wrong with that though @Nester

it's a simplistic band

@Death Strike's Bat "ONCE UPON THE CROTCH"

Chorus: I'm FAST and LOOSE, I'm FAST and LOOSE

are you going to give the same treatment to Von?

Song: Christ Fire

VON WAS GREAT

Chorus: Christ Fire

WATAIN

DEVIL PIG

BLACK REPUBLICAN

Von is great yeah

SATAN FERTILE, WOMANS EGG

Song: Bite the Bullet

SPURTING SEMEN

the problem with deicide was massive amounts of coke and steroids
