I think hes one of the few people who can pull off the skullet look along with Dallas from Nile. Also, metal heads from the 80's worse tight jean pants, but none of that skin tight pants.

I'd like to point something out about image: A7X are signed to a huge "commercial" label (Warner Bros. i think), in my experience when signed to big/commercial labels or management agencies you don't have alot of say as a band in some cases. This includes what you wear/image even the songs that go on your album at the best of times. You can get away with alot more on smaller and Indie labels, but the HUGE labels are interested in making money full stop and will in turn make you look and sound ridiculous as you guys have put it! Lighter songs, trendy image = SALES. That's a very generalised way of how BIG labels see things. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But this just kinda makes me look down on them. Everyone is copying anyone. In all things. It's how you copy which matters. Stones and Clapton stole from the blues, which stole from gospel and folk.. Classical composers stole from each other too.. Natural thing to do! QUOTE (VinceG @ Aug 12 2008, 11:31 PM) Metahl is evil because its Satan's music!!!! We are here as Satan's decibels.

Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.

Really, that joke is pretty much a universal sign for metal like "Black Metal ist krieg" joke. Sorry for the people who took it the wrong way. I was just jokingly quoting Sigma on his question why Metal is Evil. Its a joke people. Sorry You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The bands play things they like, so it´s not unusual that the songs sound familiar somehow... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But I do understand that music is a limited medium and that a band is bound to copy another bands idea some day. I´ve stated earlier, I know only Like and Don´t like.
