The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[John]

The sad thing is, the original Attila was Billy Joel's proto-metal band.

There is so much in this thread that I want to quote and comment but it's hard to go back and do a million quotes.

On JNCOs. YES. I mean, I could never afford them so I didn't really own any but I thought they were so cool. Perhaps uncool in the doom room but I'm a slim fitting jeans kind of guy. I don't wear that skinny stuff but I feel weird in pants that are remotely baggy.

On metal roots: -shrug- in middle school i thought korn was cool. freshmen year of high school i got into pop punk. somehow i made it to metal and its ever branching paths from pop punk. your guess is as good as mine. by the time i graduated high school i was considered really really weird but i had found some like minded people in my tiny school somehow. there was a pretty big local scene even if it wasn't especially good.

on revolvermags list. oh holy fuck. i do enjoy deafheaven. it is weird how popular/accessible they've become. a friend of mine came home from pitchfork festival and i assume he was there to check out hip hop and daft punk or something and he was talking to me about how deafheaven was coming to grand rapids and how stoked he was. weird but cool, i guess. like, maybe i can play some other heavy stuff for him and he'll be into it. work him in slowly. "hey man how do you feel about this new record by this band, downfall of gaia? pretty cool huh." we drink beer together and are totally great friends just musically never been on the same wavelength so the deafheaven thing is weird. but fuck it.

huge digression aside that list is weirdo bizarre but SLK hit it on the head. NAILS is sweet but the rest of the list doesn't do much for me (don't hate Ghost BC or Kverltak) but there are plenty of great heavy artists out there so fuck it.

after watching the attila video i wanted to give you another video of one of those bands. these guys are only a few hours away from me....

lets see 90s for me was death metal and black metal

ditto early 2000s

then 2004ish i went from "how brutal" to "how heavy"

now its "how brutally heavy"

"can i give people anxiety attacks through volume notechoices and negativety"

Has anyone ever made a commercial version of the Master of Puppets/And Justice for All amp? The Mesa Mark II C+ preamp/Marshall power amp in one neat package would probably be a pretty good seller if someone can really do it right don't you think?

so much discussion to catch up on, but it's so much easier to respond to the last post. maybe i'll try to talk about 90's pants in another post. but for this, my memory might be wrong, but i thought they recorded with straight mark iic+ (at least on MOP) and then hacked them into preamps for live use. maybe this was just hetfield. as much as even mesa has tried they haven't really recreated the mark iic+, despite what they claim for various modes of later mark series amps. supposedly the unobtanium transformers were a big part of the super magic of those amps, in which case it's kind of stupid to just use one as a preamp. but no one's accused metallica of being smart anytime recently. i would love to have one of those. i had a mark iii green strip which was supposed to be the closest they came to redoing the iic+. it was amazing and i'm an idiot for selling it ever, especially given the economics of how that situation worked out. but that amp still didn't do the iic+ thing to a tee. it sure as shit sounded good though.

i do fucking love a marshall power amp (and the rest of the amp). i would be intrigued. i must say though, my mark iii had just barely enough gain on tap to cross the finish line. it was enough and often i believe that people use more gain than they need or think they need more gain than they do, but this amp seriously just made it on gain, even though it sounded great. if you're going for that iic+ sound and were making an amp around it, then you are absolutely counting on amp gain without pedals. i would think a modern version would need a bit more gain available to be widely accepted as a good flexible amp. you're target audience would certainly be disappointed if they couldn't get enough gain. it wouldn't be much more than that preamp already had, but a bit.

but yeah, that would be a dream amp for me. a slightly higher gain 2 channel iic+ into a 6550 marshall power section.

I miss that guitar already.

SiriusXM plays that King810 garbage

[Wes Mantooth]

God that King810 shit is some of the corniest music I've ever heard. I'd still take it over Attila, but if I had to listen to either of those every day I'd just off myself.

[D.o.S.]

Usually I come here to find good music that I haven't heard. Not, you know, bands that really like Hatebreed.

Sometimes it just reminds me of Korn if Korn were more metal and didn't have Fieldy. That's not a compliment or an admittance of enjoyment. Simply a statement. :P

Well I'm bored at work and I want to talk shit about shitty music

Here's what I've been jamming to offset my shit contributions to this thread: http://music.throatruinerrecords.com/album/lowgazers
