Heavy Metal Anyone?


In my opinion, the best musicians are heavy metal musicians. Jazz is easy, ine note at a time, doomboombooppettiboop, but, can any of thos jazz dudes do what the heavy metal bassist do, or guitarists, or drummers? And , it's easy to test a system using jazz with simple vocal tracks, test systems with Heavy Metal. If it works with metal, it will work well in general. 

Anyone agrees with me? 

Note, no disrespect to jazz, classical lovers . I listen to a lot of jazz, blues, classical and especially early music.

Let’s not debate semantics.
Generically, the term ’audio filter’ can be applied to mean anything which changes the timbre or harmonic content of an audio signal.

Uh, what you just did is precisely to debate semantics. Just so you know.

So your idea of not debating semantics is to say "changes the timbre or harmonic content" can mean adds or subtracts. After all either one is a change. Therefore a filter can also add. Even though we know filters are used to sift through and remove.

No wonder you don't want to debate.
A well kept music industry secret is that 99% of the great "recorded" heavy metal guitar licks were performed in studio by George Gobel.


In 1999 the Megadeath tour was thrown into a shambles with the unexpected death on June 5th of Mel Torme. Not that there was any connection. Cough cough.

Heavy metal musicians are no doubt impressive. I wonder, though, what things would sound like if we removed the extreme distortion filters.

Okay, wait- extreme distortion FILTERS?? So heavy metal would be even more distorted without the filters???!

Its true. Django Reinhardt tried his hand at heavy metal, but found it too technically challenging and so had to make do with French jazz. Chet Akins and Roy Clark floundered as well. Mark Knopfler nearly made it, but decided why work when you can make your money for nothing, and your chicks for free?
