lol off time guitar eh? what bands do you listen to

I think Agalloch is boring. I like my music to engage me. When I listen to Agalloch I just sit there and wait for something to happen.

 

What is it with people coming on here looking for a specific reply to an otherwise open question? I'm looking for an 'I don't know, what's with that?'

 

lol I actually listened to them quite a bit today. Seems alot better than I remember. Maybe it's cause the first time I heard AGTG it was in a car


i think i am slowly getting hooked

 

good stuff Pat

 

Idk i im hearing Devoured by Vermin right now and its a great song but certain parts in the music i think are just...i cant find a way to say it just timed wrong the rythym doesnt strike me right
maybe its that im playing in a band so it strikes me more than the average fan but all those morbid angel deicide bands obviously see it differently

Kataklysm
Bolt Thrower
Aeon
Abysmal Dawn
Opeth
Shadows Fall
Skeletonwitch
Swallow the Sun
Sodom and Gommorah
Job For a Cowboy
Behemoth
Cannibal Corpse
Wolves in the Throne Room
Decapitated
Machine Head
Devildriver
Dimmu Borgir
Insomnium
Old Mans Child
Agalloch

some of these do have that off time sound but i just ignore it when it happens..Decapitated, Can Corpse mostly they are always death metal bands for some reason i have only heard it in that genre

 

I don't see what you consider off time. I've been drumming for 9 years, guitarist for 7, and have training in music theory. And with modern day music recording technology, it is nearly impossible for bands to play out of time unless it is intentional.

I normally count out songs in my head when I listen and I have never heard a band go out of time. I just did devoured by vermin and see no timing issues.

Post an example perhaps?

 

do you mean playing outside the click? other than that I can't see what you mean by "off-time." Do you mean an odd time signature?

 

I think he means they can't play in time

I truly laughed out loud at this

 

that guy drops some wicked beats

as some may put it

 

No the timing is not inaccurate yea it is an odd time signature, thats what i mean and i just cant get into it its too technical and just doesnt click

they can play in time most of the time they are extremely skilled and technical musicians

 

I'm off to see bruno in a half hour-I've been dying to see ithas anyone seen it yet, thoughts?
