Heavy metal subgenres

there are a few of us who still have some of our most loved 70's records and hear them out still. A portion of the class that truly made their mark in the 1970's are Great Rock, Disco, Southern Rock, Punk Rock, and the introduction of Overwhelming Metal in spite of the fact that it was initially referred to as Hard Shake too. Regardless of in the event that you were naturally introduced to a more youthful era there is more than likely a 70's melody or collection that you listen to so how about…

The sixth song is called “Back in Black” this song starts with the dumber taping the symbols as the melody starts and one of the most famous guitar riffs comes blazing, as this fast pace song gives you a rush of adrenaline. Lyrically is hard to fallow as it sounds like rap and some of the lyrics are hard to understand but what I understand it is about getting back in the rock and roll party life. The seventh song is called “You Shook Me All Night Long” song starts with a guitar melody as it…

very distinct from one another. Often they reflect a person’s state of mind or personality; however, one’s own preference for music should not place a stereotype or limit onto that person. For example, a goth is usually seen as liking screamo or heavy metal music when in fact he or she may like classical or pop music. Usually, these preferences are not easily explained but can be thought as an outlet of releasing certain pent-up emotions. It is important to note that certain genres of music are…

Dave Grohl joined Nirvana as their drummer in the 90s, but after Kurt Cobain’s death in his Seattle home on April 5, 1994, Nirvana disbanded.

For their first album (Foo Fighters), Dave Grohl wrote every song, played every instrument and sang every vocal with the exception of a guitar part…

Jimi Hendrix was a prominent cultural figure in the 60’s. He was a gifted guitarist and songwriter. His style and look influenced some of the biggest artist we know today such as Rick James, Prince and Erykah Badu. I enjoyed listening to this piece by Jimi Hendrix. I can remember the melody but I would have to listen to the piece a few times, only because he does a lot of improvisation. The only part I can remember easily is the chorus because I feel as if it stays constant; he does not change…

I consider Chuck Berry the king of Rock and Roll for multiple reasons. As you read you will find out why he is the Rock and Roll king. Chuck Berry started to make music in 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s. Chuck Berry used electric guitar in his songs, which made his songs different from others. This is why I think Chuck Berry is the real king of Rock and Roll. Chuck Berry was born on October 18, 1926 with a large family in St. Louis, MO. Chuck Berry’s birth name is Charles Edward Anderson. Chuck was an…

The use of distortion effects to add character to a guitar's sound goes back a long time, taking many forms. In the fifties, guitarists experimented with gain to overdrive their guitar amplifier, even poking holes in the speakers with pencils. Well before before loud overdrive/distortion effects became main staples of rock, distortion was used on electric guitars in blues. It was more subtle and in order to emphasize harmonics and enrich the bass tone to add great sustain sounds. Because…

the lady or the tiger? HE was shaking as he twisted the horribly cold knob, even though he was expecting the young lady to step out. But he knew the crude mind of the princess could go either way, and he stepped to one side as he opened the door. To his dismay, he heard a deep, rumbling growl, and smelled the disgusting odor of bad breath. His heart sank knowing his last moment would be soon. The monster dove out of the cave of which it was held and circled around the room. “How could she,”…

The ear splitting sound of my guitar shook the house off the ground. I was a normal teenager with a strong passion for music. My friends and I were in our own band. I loved music and was especially fond of my tattered electric guitar. The basement was our stage and our parents were the fans. Although the band was not the best, we were all very passionate. Our band was either always in the compact basement practicing together, or hanging out at the music store. One day at school my eyes were…
