Favorite songs are silent night fever by d zero
The jester race, the jester dance, moonshield, jotun, episode 666, you know what fuck it all of those albums.
All fucking killer zero fucking filler
>Acle Kahney
>TesseracT - Altered State
>Palingenesis (Altered State) is my favorite, but this guy writes all the music for tesseract so, fucking everything i suppose.
>No solos, no need
If you like metal, you'd definitely enjoy their work. Look up TesseracT.
tosin abasi animals as leaders
animals as leaders
intro riff an infinite regretion (yes, that is just fingers and a clean guitar)
best solo: CAFO
/thread
WHAT???!!!
>2016
>giving a shit about giutarists
Those two are my favorite bands of all time. Literally started playing extended range guitar because of Tosin Abasi and Acle Kahney's work with their bands.
>mfw they toured together in my city and i never went to see them
Now don't take this an an attack user but I've tried grooving to the new album but I just don't get it..... I turn it on and it like listening to tool.....
Now wicked prog metal you guys all need to look at
Textures
Specifically the polars album
>giving a shit about guitarists
Take your edges somewhere else, gaylord. And take your bass with you
also, dude, tosin created a slap techniche. that's fucking awesome
1. Muhammed Suiçmez, Necrophagist
2. Epitaph (better riffs)/Onset of Putrification (better solos)
3. Epitaph

4. Advanced Corpse Tumor: Solo it'self is called Hymn of an Angel.

I love textures. That being said, I think dualism is much much better. Plus, better singer.
>Textures
absolute trash
I like that pissed off belted out scream of the first dude. It's so fucking raw, just yells till his voice breaks.
Niiiice. But serjously man
>necrophagist
>not picking the solo to "Diminished To Sup Forums"
I shiggy diggy
Frederik Thordendal - Meshuggah
Best Album - Obzen
Best Riff - Dancers to a Discordant System
Best Solo - Do Not Look Down
>CAFO
The riff in that song annoys the fuck out of me though.
I fucking love that grind in Bleed
Right on! If youre interested, search Youtube for the band Shirazad, they are an unsigned band that might intrigue you
That's actually my second favorite. For some reason this solo just really always got to me.
...
ITT: Sup Forums goes Prog
Will hafta check it. I've been really trying to find more of the sound I really love.
Gothenburg melodeath but it's so few and far between
>Dancers to a Discordant System
Fucking yes. This band has way too many good riffs though.
Checked
Also, I'm more of a fan of their 'groovier' stuff, ala Catch-33 and Nothing. But Bleed is pretty kickass.

Do you like vildhjarta?
>1. Buckethead
>2. Album- Population Override
>3. Riff- Soothsayer (Dedicated to Aunt Suzie)
>4. Solo - Nottingham Lace
i fucking love shuggah
Have not examined any as of yet. Do you have a place to recommend my start at?
Adam Jones, Tool
Album: Lateralus
Riff: Flood
Solo: Stinkfist Live Version
too many to mention, but start with the Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar series, or FZ:Guitar.
If you like shredding only, he's not your guy. If you like solos that stand on there own as compositions, then there has never been anyone better.
Josh Middleton - Sylosis
Best Album - Dormant Heart
Best Riff - Dormant Heart
Best Solo - Empyreal
The vocals take a while to get used to for most people, but the guitar is great
Jones is an adequate guitarist and a good songwriter. What he is capable of is definitely great for the songs he writes. But I just don't understand why everyone has to suck his cock?
Because the band is shrouded in pretentiousness, however they are still a great band
I think you would enjoy the stuff off masstaden, but id recommend checking out their ep Omnislash. It's a perfect place to start. Once you're done, check out (the demo version of) Deceit by vildhjarta.
How about FellSilent?
Immerse.
Please please listen to this if you haven't.
It's from my understanding that a lot of Tool fans think that the band is the second coming of Christ and they feel so entitled or better than people because they listen to Tool. Granted I'm a fan of them but I don't think that they're the best fucking musicians on the planet
They also have instrumental versions of quite a few songs that ended up on Maastaden. That's worth a look too.
Yui Hirasawa; HTT
Best riff/solo: Yan Yan
This^
It's that kind of perceived value thing me thinks. Like if you took all of their records and release them 2 years apart then meh, but since the masses can't ever get a new fix it's worth something now.......
I do give cred for aenima and undertow but since then........
Yep! I've listened to pretty much every vildhjarta song there is haha they were my favorite for a long time
Fucking exactly!!!! It's just outside of radio rock so the normies can feel special and exclusive
I enjoy all their albums but I think 10,000 days was a step down from the rest
I don't think its the fans fault for acting like they do. Not to sound elitist, but usually, tool fans have never heard anything close to jazz or prog so they end up so in love with tool when they listen. Tool is a good band to listen to when you're 12
This I will do anons. Thanks for sending me in another direction to look, much appreciated.
The worst part about music is there's so much and most is trash.
Like I kept hearing all the hype about ghost brigade...... was a but underwhelmed
When you're too pretentious for tool
Still waiting for a new FULL album, though. Thousands of Evils was good, BUT I NEED MOAR
...
victor wooten did
This is a joke right?
but what about steve vai then?
I can agree with you on the fact that a majority of people haven't listen to jazz or prog rock but I feel like a majority of them know them from the radio songs like Schism and The Pot and that's about it
op is dildos
Thall!
no he fucking didn't you goddamn moron.
does anyone here like jon gomm? acoustic stuff but fucking amazing
This thread....
Tosin's thumb slap is inspired by wooten and other bass players, he said so himself. But he's the inventor of the slap technique on extended range guitar. There's no need to argue
Yes, Sherlock.
I like tool as much as the next guy, but they are disappointing live
Name: Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme)
Album: Pornograffiti
Riff: He-Man Woman Hater's Club
Solo: Decadence Dance (Maybe not the most technical, but I love it)
thanks for mentioning necrophagist
22 years old and just went on a nostaliga trip that took me back almost a decade
love u user
he owns all. Steve vai is god. Thread can be closed now
youtube.com
Link to full album. Anyone who plays guitar can appreciate just how outrageous the whole thing sounds.
Karl Groom, Threshold
Hypothetical
Light and Space
Fighting For Breath
Not exactly a virtuoso, but amazingly consistent and a fantastic songwriter.
what the fuck? tool's actually one of the best bands live imo
they're so close to album quality it's insane
i mean i can understand your opinion if you wanted it to sound like more than what's the album, but if not, wtf man. the visual portions they do are fantastic
alex jones is a god
Steve Vai(Vai band)
album: Fire Garden
best riff: Building the Church( middle after solo)
best solo: Tender Surrender
>not picking bad horsie for best riff
>kek.jpg
Prog has some dank ass guitar work, user.
They're all old now, they don't have the youthful energy like they did in the 90s and early 00s
like its great but the riff for building the church took so much for him to learn. also hes an amazing composer
all the best guitarists are from prog metal or complete solo acts
no coincidence here
youtube.com
Live solo clip. I can't even. It's mindblowing. Poor guitar.
they just stand around
yeah he is
i just like bad horsie for the absolute raw energy of it
it can fit in so many genres it's insane. just imagine rock genre where the slide riff in bad horsie doesn't fit in (post '80s, of course)
you just can't
In Tool's defense, the concerts have been more about the visuals than watching some dudes go apeshit on a stage
It's the nature of prog players to wanna be the best in guitar, so , much to our delight, they always have these crazy techniques and riffs in their music.
This. just so true on many levels. if you speed it up you or slow it down by even the slightest bpm you get a different genre
yeah they're not great at creating energy on stage but that's not what it's about, they always have those crazy-ass projector shows to accompany them and alex grey is absolutely insane when it comes to visual arts, and they often have custom pieces done for their live shows
i said alex jones for some reason last post and i kek'd a little tbh ignore my retardation
Anything off Tokyo Tapes would qualify.
Ron Jarzombe - Spastik Ink, Blotted Science, Watchtower.
Album: Blotted Science - The Machinations of Dementia
Best Riff: Brain Fingerprinting - Blotted Science
Best Solo: Blotted Science - Bleeding in the Brain
Only heard one ghost brigade song. Into the black light. It just reminded me of opeth lol which isn't necessarily a bad thing
Gotta go with Holy Wars as Dave's best solo. It pretty much single-handedly made me want to play guitar.
"Inspired". I've met Tosin in DC a few times and I remember the words out of his mouth being that he learned the technique from Victor Wootens nephew or something like that.
You can invent something that already exists... it being on an "extended range guitar" makes no fucking difference.
Literally about to say buckethead. I like balloon cement more though.
Zakk Wylde does still rain supreme though just because he's the most metal guitarist to ever live. Pic related.
