Post by: 38thBeatle on June 16, 2007, 09:32:08 AM: I play in a covers band and I play anything from late 1950's through to stuff today-nothing heavy though. All Strats/Teles and they cover a lot of ground with their BKP's on board.

Post by: Kepu on June 16, 2007, 11:28:37 AM: Hard to choose any one style cuz it really ranges from classic rock and blues to acoustic classical stuff and metal, occasionally jazz too

but at the moment, founding a folk/death metal band interests me the most so I said METAL :twisted:

Post by: Philly Q on June 18, 2007, 11:08:28 AM: I attempt to play classic/hard rock and a bit of blues, so I voted rock.

I would've said metal, but the stuff we used to call metal when I were a lad doesn't seem to be considered metal nowadays.

Post by: HTH AMPS on June 18, 2007, 11:11:52 AM: I voted rock as it covers the most ground for what I do - I would have also selected blues and metal if the choice was there.

:twisted:

Trust me, it's still metal. Don't let the taste-makers decide what you play!! :evil:

Nah, I don't let anyone decide what I play (although if they ever heard me play, people of taste would ask me to stop...)

It's just the terminology which seems to have changed. I used to call UFO or Dokken metal, but the term "metal" now seems to mostly be applied to stuff with vocals that go "Rowwr RowRoowr Oooorwr RooowwwrGGHH!". But we've discussed that to death (not Death).

Post by: Kepu on June 18, 2007, 06:42:03 PM: Dokken are metal as hell! :evil:
Title: Wht Do YOU Use your BK pups to play
Post by: plastercaster on June 18, 2007, 07:32:30 PM: Mainly rock. Some metal, some blues, but mainly rock.
I'm surprised about the vote results so far... most posts here (especially in the pickups section) are metal based.
Maybe you metalheads can just shout louder.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I agree.

I play a bit of everything- blues, jazz (er, badly, i'm trying to learn), classic rock, 80's metal/rock/shred, 50's etc.

I like most guitar music. As long as it doesn't have "alternative" or "indie" somewhere in the title of the genre, odds are I like it.
