Erm, Just out of interest (and without meaning to cause offence), all death metal sounds totally Identical to me.

How does one decide what constitutes "good" death metal and "bad" death metal.

In other words WTF is the difference between cannibal corpse, six feet under, maggot eyeballs and the dead grandma rapists, et al.


Well, I'm not a fan as well, but if you ignore vocals, objectively many of them are great technical players, especially in technical death. They have some different musical philosophies, and some very interesting riffs.

Being a composer, I like to study any style, and I can say that some death metal players really amaze me sometimes.

could you give me some songs that I would might like, as a fellow non-BR00T4LZZZ person. I have managed to gain a base knowledge of almost all pop music, and even a bit of jazz and the once-dreaded "urban" music - really amazes the chavs when I can hold conversation with them about roll deep and dizzee rascal. But the appeal of uber-heavy metal, Jungle, and Screamo are beyond me.

BTW, I have no intention of ever trying to find screamo acceptable

Well, the easiest way would be to go to YouTube and search for "death metal guitar" or "death metal riffs"

Here are some clips

Like it or not, they are very good tehnical players.

The odd thing (actually, not that odd now I think about it) is that the original DC version actually sounds more menacing than that guy growling over dropped guitars ...

Goes to show all these OTT effects and active pups &c. are no substitute for raw talent when it comes to tone :)

agree ac dc sounded more menacing....and can't get on with death metal...have a mate who's big into cannibal corpse, six feet under etc..so am exposed to a lot...but it ain't singing to me...maybe it's my age *L* and as with a lot of metal seems to recycle a lot from much early bands like slayer, exodus etc

always seems weird when kids of 12 -13 etc are talking about slayer or iron maiden like there a new band *L*

i still don't understand death metal, or why people like it. i thought the guitars were supposed to do the heavy stuff, not the singing. A lot of people say all death metal sounds the same, because it does. When you add low growling singing to low growling guitar it blends and it's hard to tell whats going on. Can we get some more bands like pantera coming up?

I don't understand AC/DC and why people like it.

Death metal, like many genres of music, is an aquired taste.  When you're used to it, it really doesn't sound all the same. Much like it's possible to dislike some rock bands, and love others.
People say "it all sounds the same" about classical and jazz music too. Why? Becuase they aren't used to it. I'm not saying you should force anyone to listen death metal (or jazz or classical) untill they can tell the differences between the bands/songs, but a lot of the times you'll find that they really don't sound the same. If I said every AC/DC song sounds the same, every Slayer song sounds the same, every Pantera song sounds the same, someone will disagree with me and likely because they are more "used to" said bands than I am. To me, all the songs I've heard from these bands sound the same, but I realize that isn't so for all people. I just don't care enough about these bands to prove me right or wrong.

6FU have put out alot of covers, no idea why they do it - they always ruin the songs.  I'd much rather listen to their own stuff which is consentently good (imo).

I think TNT sounds silly with those vocals, but as a cover it's not that bad - just a bit of fun surely?  I'm surprised everybody's so bothered about it.

The Exodus Dirty Deeds cover is awesome, they didnt make it sound ridiculous but also made it their own. I see what you people mean about that TNT one being a bit of fun, but I dont think its even fun, its just shite :P

I don't like death metal, generally speaking, but this is the sort of video we usually have a "LOL, this is hilarious" thread about, I'm surprised it's sparked a debate about death metal itself.

It's funny, usually when death metal's discussed here there are loads of people sticking up for it, but when it's a death metal band doing a harmless, silly little AC/DC cover, everyone seems to hate them.  :?  :P

I certainly can't imagine AC/DC getting all lathered up about it.

Interesting. I find the guitar rather awful, sound and playing. But maybe I'm getting old (fashioned).
