Death metal (and by extention, it's brothers thrash and black metal, not to mention its distant counsins crust punk, grindcore, and hardcore) = JUNK

and why didnt you answer my question? what techniques are involved in death metal that make it a challenge to play for a good guitar player? I am laughing at you cause you are spewing bullshit because you got offended when someone trashed your taste in music.

well guess what..just cause i think its junk or call it junk does not make it junk. thats just my opinion. Now I will tell you something that is NOT opinion but is fact. metal guitar is not difficult and not challenging at all for an accomplished or skillfull guitar player.

if metal fans want to get offended by that then so be it but the truth hurts I guess. but again if you want to try and educate me...what techniques are involved that make it hard to play? id ,love to know...cause guess what...there is NOT ANY ....NONE!

suck it up and move on. its noise and it sucks to me. no heart at all and nothing but wankers hiding behind distortion wanking power chords and running through scales with slides, hammer ons and pull offs. nothing special, nothing hard, nothing difficult.

If its not your style of music why make so much fuss over it ?. Yes there is some bollocks death metal but every style of music has its good and bad points. Some of the best guitarists around today have some form of heavy metal/rock background. Dave Mustaine , Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde, Yngwiee Malmsteen to name a very very short few!.
