most of the djent dudes are, and it's not that surprising given that they're more interested in the percussive noises of a guitar

I had to google "djent" because I had no idea WTF it is, but Wikipedia things Animals As Leaders is "djent". Weird, because AAL sounds more like jazz mated with metal to me, not lovely music you can play on a paint stick.

all the blood probably helps his tone too.

That sure is some compelling evidence you've presented. But I'm not sure a poorly recorded youtube video is gonna hold up in music snob court.

Happy to see me?
Wasn't the main reason he wore that waist strap was because Travis Beans weigh a loving ton and it was to prevent neck and back strain or something along those lines? Duane Denison of The Jesus Lizard complained about it too and that's why he helped develop one of the EGC guitar models which looks frighteningly similar to TBs except they're made out of aluminium.

Just to clarify it's a phrase that that described a certain guitartone that is basically plugging 2 noise gates into the loop and turning up the distortion to 10 to get the DJ-DJENT sound (its an onomatopoeia). Alot of the bands dont use it exclusively, like AAL, but you'll find it in there somewhere. Also gently caress the Tosin haters, he rules :colbert:

No I did not, its probably Jens Kidman or Frederik Thorendal of Meshuggah but I dont really hail them as musical geniuses or anything but sorry you dont know what Devin townsend looks like I guess.

As for Tosin, I just like AAL and hes a talented guitarist that has pioneered certain techniques like slapping and I'm a big fan of stupid rhythms and angry music without some twatting vocalist ruining the whole thing. He improvises like poo poo and spends most of his time explaining his 5 finger slapping technique so I agree his videos are poo poo. I prefer any where he's actually playing an AAL song

Animals As Leaders should throw away those 8-string atrocities, pick up some dreadnought acoustics, write some songs, and get ECT to burn the overschooled hyperjazz bullshit out of their brains. The music would still be bad but at least the guitars wouldn't be ugly.

It's like somebody invented a guitar solely for playing license-free library music to play in infomercials and dentist waiting rooms.

Now I kind of want to get one, a portable synth rig, and busk inside of an elevator playing muzak cover songs.

I'm not going to read this whole thread, but... yeah the wood and internal structures of an electric guitar changes the way the strings vibrate, which changes the signal created by the pickup, which changes the sound when it comes out of the amp. So like the wood type matters, whether it's hollow matters, if it's hollow then the bracing inside matters.
