    He's had enough practice by now, I think

    Stockholm at Reading was certainly the heaviest I've heard from them. Heavier than Dead Star at Emirates. Wonder if Matt'll ever be persuaded to pick up an 8-stringer.
  3. Alec Ferris
    I'm hoping he does that on future albums.
  4. Alec Ferris
    The same could go for any band, though. I've seen people sneered at for describing Meshuggah as "extreme" by people who apparently live up to the eyeballs in black metal (no ta, way too misanthropic for me).
  5. Alec Ferris
    With the exception of Fury and Futurism.

    Dead Star EP? Bought a physical copy the week before they released their whole back catalogue on Amazon and iTunes
  7. Alec Ferris
    With the implication that I intend to rectify this error. Been meaning to for ages, but discovering Isis got in the way, then Pelican, then Kyuss' back catalogue...
  8. Alec Ferris
    Love that part, but always preferred the lyricism and the growl of Chris' bass

    I'd say Muse are more influenced by classic alt-metal as far as their heavy guitar parts go; Deftones, RatM, QOTSA and System most obviously, and I guess a bit of Tool on the solos (Matt's said he likes them on a few occasions but I never noticed it in his playing). Then again I've never really listened to Dream Theater.

    Was thinking of the kids who climbed aboard in the wake of T2L.

    Damn right. The riff in the bridge of Survival is also ace, took me a while to appreciate it. Futurism has a good riff as well, though I imagine a fair few people haven't heard it (if you haven't, youtube it). Yes Please deserves an honourable mention too

    Listened to Absolution on my way home from France. Reminded me just why I love it so much.

    Hoping we get an anniversary remaster in 2016.
  14. Alec Ferris
    Glorious definitely superior to Invincible, though I'm very fond of that as well. It kind of reminds me of Deftones' softer songs in a way.

    Dead Star after last night (though for me, it'll always remain to a degree that single I splashed out £10 on a week before it became available on Amazon for £2...) Also, Futurism. Hoping it gets played one day.

    Pretty much everything on Hullabaloo. Partly because my new earphones have allowed me to discover a lot of basslines for the first time/appreciate them anew after being stuck with iTunes 'phones for three months.
  17. Alec Ferris
    Exogenesis, trying out the new earphones. And Yes Please... hadn't realised before just how dirty the bass is on that biiig Novoselic influence there.

    Ruled by Secrecy.

    Hey, any chance you could lop the "Ferris" off my username? Cheers

    "Change" by Deftones, but with piano on the first verse (maybe guitar on the second like in the original) and the chorus played fast and heavy with guitar and bass. And turn the "ah ah, aaah ah" vocal bit at the end into an extended guitar solo to close the song. Carpenter doesn't do them really- I can think of two, and they flash past in about 10 seconds- so that'd be an interesting change from the original. Man, if seven years for now this doesn't appear on "20th Anniversary Tribute to White Pony" I shall be sorely disappointed.

    MotP. Kind of taken it for granted. My third pair of nice Sennheisers recently died on me (I think that's gonna be the end of that affair) and I have found one nice thing to say about iPod earphones- the production issues don't really register when using them. Then again, good production's also lost on you when using them. Back on point though, I've fallen back in love with MotP
  22. Alec Ferris
    AtD-I- Quarantined. Give it the old-fashioned piano intro going into the full-band attack.
  23. Alec Ferris
    Deftones already covered it, that's all I need.
  24. Alec Ferris
    I reckon they'd handle Aerials better than Toxicity.
  25. Alec Ferris
    Couldn't see it working that well. Reznor's original and Cash's version cover all the bases you'd need this song to, any other band adding to it is unnecessary (Fightstar) and if done with production gloss then it just doesn't work (I'd rather remove my own eardrums with a blunt chisel than listen to that abysmal Leona Lewis take again). I'd rather see them cover a lesser-known NIN song, maybe The Great Destroyer, substituting a huuuuge guitar freakout in place of the glitchstrocity (don't read this in the wrong way, I really like it) breakdown.
