What are the best guitar pick ups for metal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jackson, BC Rich, Ibanez, ESP and let's not forget Gibson. Anyone who disputes that can take it up with Zakk Wylde. Any guitar can either sound good for metal OR with a little money (new pickups, strings etc...) can be made to sound good for metal. The first 4 brands I mentioned are probably the more common names associated with metal music. Schecter should probably also be thrown in there. Truth is that no one guitar is the absolute perfect axe for anything. Much of it is personal preference just like anything else. That is not to say that if you go out and buy the cheapest guitar you can find, that it will sound as good as a high end BC Rich or a Jackson. Not even close. But as we all know, your wallet will play a big part in what you play AND let's not forget what you're plugging into. For example, I still have a lower/middle of the road Ibanez RG3. Paid $299 for it at a Guitar Center Labor Day sale. ($429 regular) Replaced the stock pickups with Seymour Duncan Blackouts. Sounds like a metal beast! Was using it with a Boss Metal Zone pedal, through a Peavey Vypyr 30 watt solid state amp no less (speaker replaced with an Eminence Patriot "Swamp Thang" however) Whole setup was well less than $1000 and sounded vicious! f you have the cash for a BC (very reasonably priced for what you're getting by the way) or my personal fav, a Jackson Soloist. Then get it. But there are many good guitars and amps out there at lower price points.

Why was heavy metal developed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is the same kind of question why the neanderthal man invented the fire - because humankind is curious and loves to experiment. Heavy Metal was developed because the former genre Rock wasn't the kind of thing that people liked or atleast they wanted something heavier - Black Sabbath, one of the first Heavy Metal Bands developed Heavy Metal from Rock and opened a new age of music.

Is Black Death the first African American heavy metal band?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, but only if you specify they were "the first doommetal band."

They were among the first heavy bands that incorporated metal as their whole sound, but other bands (such as Led Zeppelin) had had played songs that could be considered heavy metal

I think the main difference is basically subject matter and sound. Led Zeppelin are grouped in as heavy metal but in reality are a blues based band,not metal,they say this themselves. Heavy metal,particularly Black Sabbath wrote songs about the " dark " side of life and things in general,as opposed to " flower power" at the time(late 60's). Their unyielding,sonic sound was an answer to the blues based,melodic style of the times.

What are some opinions about Korn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When they were young they listen to metal like Black Sabbath and Dio, but they also listened to funk like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Faith No More. In the end they had to make a choice between metal and funk, so they went with metal, but still managed to incorporate that funky vibe into their music.

What is the band Korn doing now?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Korn was established by every member adding their own sound to the band. Head and Munky founded KoRn and if you watch their DVDs head could be sitting there tuning his guitar making some Sic riffs. Johnathan, KoRn's front-man was a heavy drinker when they started out and wrote lyrics while intoxicated which gave the music an emotional feel. fieldy added his rap enthused bass. Korn consisted of Metal mixed in with funk. Well Brian left the band and took the creativity with him. If you listen to his solo project you can hear KoRn's original style of music. second Johnathan sobered up and has left us with non emotional lyrics. Johnathan Davis can be quoted saying something like " if you like our old stuff listen to the old stuff, Music evolves and we evolve with it"

Megadeth is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1983. Founded by guitarist/vocalist Dave Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson. He left the band when David Ellefson's attorney, Randall Jacobs, has filed a notice of appeal in connection with a suit filed by Ellefson against Megadeth singer-guitarist Dave Mustaine. The suit, filed in July 2004, alleged that Ellefson was entitled to a greater share of the band's profits than he was paid. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald of New York, N.Y., ruled on January 13, 2005 that Ellefson has no valid claims against Megadeth.

What is philosophy of black metal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Black metal is a very extreme subgenre of heavy metal, originating in the late 80's in several countries (venom England, bathory, Sweden, and Celtic frost , u.s.a) Black metal got its name from the song "Black Metal" by Venom off the album of the same name. Early Black metal took its look from Celtic Frost, Sound from Venom and harshness from Bathory.

The second wave of Black Metal started in Norway with the band Myhem. The modern

Black metal sound was created by the bands Mayhem and Burzum. They made their music as a more extreme pursuance of metal and as a direct affront to Christianity, specifically Catholicism.

Most musicians in black metal are Satanists, although there have been several musicians in black metal who were druids, Atheists, Agnostics, heathens, Stoics, etc.

In black metal the ideology behind the music is very important. The black metal band gorgoroth refuses to release their lyrics to the public lest they affect someone's interpretation of the music.

Black metal is characterized by fast strumming of all six strings on an electric guitar, highpitched screaming vocals, lyrical content encompassing, Satan, Satanic Rites, Satanism, hate for Christianity, hate for Christians, killing Christians, ancient rites of killing Christians, suicide, S&M fetish, burning Churches, black metal, hell, depression, and other such cheery subject matter.

Quite possibly the greatest examples of black metal are

De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by Mayhem (Translation from the Latin; The Mysterious Rites of Lord Satan)

Carving a Giant by Gorgoroth

The First Cut is the Deepest by Carpathian Forest

A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh by Celtic Frost

Spell of Destruction by Burzum

inno a Santana by Emperor

Current bands that are lumped into the Black metal sound are not true Black Metal in the very sense that they are more orchestrated and keyboard driven, These "Symphonic Black Metal Bands" are true to the satanic ideology, but not the raw, grim sounds of second and first wave Black Metal

Is Metal music satanic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

People have different opinions on whether it is satanic or not, but I don't really think it is.

Some of us just like to rock out and turn up the volume. It's a good way to let out your anger and depression.

It also depends on the lyrics. Just because they curse and scream doesn't mean it's about Satan and all that stuff.

If that's what the lyrics are like in a different song, then sure, it could be considered satanic. It isn't always metal.

Think about the religion of the band that made the song.

Some bands are Satanic, but it doesn't mean anything different from what non-Satanic bands sing about. There's several different types of Metal music, such as Thrash, NÜ Metal, Etc.

And, keep in mind, they have also made Christian metal.

When did heavy metal start?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first true, undisputed heavy-metal record was Black Sabbath's 1970 debut album, with its first track "Black Sabbath" the first undisputed heavy-metal song.

Many acts before this can claim to be psychedelic, heavy rock, heavy blues, hard rock or even proto-punk -- such as Iron Butterfly, the MC5, Led Zeppelin, Steppenwolf, The Stooges, even Jimi Hendrix. But no one denies that the first two Black Sabbath records were heavy metal, and that Black Sabbath was a heavy-metal band.

What is the heaviest sub-genre of metal?

User Avatar

Asked by Jwmetalhead

I guess it's a matter of opinion. Some will say Black Metal, but Death Metal has a much thicker, heavier, more guttural sound in the vocals. Deathcore is pretty heavy too because they have deathgrowls, shrieks, blast beats, double kicks, way down tuned guitars, you name it.

But when it comes down to it, the factor that makes them more extreme isn't the sound. It is the ideology of the band and the way they express it. Gorgoroth kicks everybody's a**

yes, it's based on opnion but Children of Bodom kicks everyones a** no doubt about it.

Is Macklemore an atheist?

Asked by Wiki User

No.

I can't find evidence that he is.

His gaff with the disguise illustrates that he likely is not or he would have claimed it in his apology.

An interview he gave describes himself as spiritual but not religious and sources say he is predominantly an Irish-American.
