I need your halp guys.
My dad just told me to Choose one of these guitars.
Knowing him this is him bringing me something back from the states because he just went back home.

I'm prolly going to go for the 7 string.
What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?

Yea, get the seven string. There's plenty of people with Epiphones out there. 

 

BTW guys I really want a guitar like this. It's a BC Rich Mockingbird and in black. I wish they made a left handed version though

Yeah I'd go for the seven string, but that's just because I really badly want to try out a 7-string guitar

 

 

Anyways here's my personal favorite Converge song

[Kazuki Fuse 534]

Acid Witch are probably my favorite death/doom band. I have both albums on vinyl, they are so fun to spin constantly all October long.

 

[Twiliscael 3,960]

I've been too busy watching really, really girly animes for much music recently ;~;

 

Though I DID get the chance to listen to Divided By by Struc/tures. I think that the band has potential, but this album was only decent. The opening track is the generic copy-paste breakdown track, and the transitions within the songs are a bit awkward. The growl/hardcore yell vocal switches are a nice effect though. The songs themselves are well structured and interesting. If they can clear up some of the problems, I think that they can make a hell of a group.

 

Bonus points for interesting song titles.

@@Yourmomsponies,

Is that going to be your first guitar? If yes, then I wouldn't recommend a 7 string. Why? It's more difficult to play. If you're a beginner, you are most likely going to start your guitar adventure with simple cords, and that 7th string would only get in your way. (eeyup, I've got a 7 string) By the way, that LTD doesn't look very convincing. Low end guitars can be painful to play (it's not a rule though, I've owned a chinese B.C. Rich Warlock Bronze, which after replacing pickups wasn't that bad for the price)

I would try to convince your father to get a used guitar, you can get some good stuff very cheaply in the us. (Oh, thy american Jackson of my dreams, where art thou?)

How have I not found this before? I can finally blabber on about my favorite bands, them being punk/metalcore. 

All I ask is that if you don't like them, please don't bash them. 

Asking Alexandria, anybody?

 

Also, I won't post videos for these two, since they aren't technically /metal/ but...Pierce the Veil (punk/rock) and Sleeping With Sirens (punk/pop) are cool too.  

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

 

BFFFFFFFFFFF it's awesome that you mention it! That album certainly is amazing, in fact, it's my desktop background since just yesterday! Just took a screenshot, this is Xubuntu BTW. Installed the OS just yesterday.

ditch xfce, install awesome

BC Richs were always ugly to me. Ibanez master-race. Also, there is the possibility of just stringing the guitar  backwards.

The sad thing about 7-strings is that they aren't very diverse: in look and sound. You can't see someone playing freak folk with a pointy Jackson, and the 7th-string always sounds muddy and overbearing when clean. Tis the pain of djenting.

Gee... you really rustled my jimmies... Like what is it with people just comming on this thread and posting Asking Alexandria? Oh I could just scream *insert Fluttershy screech* If you like AA, good for you. I have a friend who likes them too and he's also a brony.

That's not as easy as it sounds. Keep in mind, you have to get a new nut, there's the possibility you could mess something up, the swithes could get in the way while playing, etc. It just much more convinient getting a left handed guitar.

Ibanez master-race.

Do not like. I'm not saying they're bad, but... I've got an Ibanez. A Prestige Ibanez. It's good but it lacks something... I love its cleans, but distortion lacks that punch, that power which I totally adore in my Schecter Blackjack Atx C-7. Also, the neck on that Ibby is too thin for me. I've got quite large palms and super ultra thin Wizard neck is not for me. I like that beefy neck on Schecter. Sorry mister Ibanez, I'm going to get rid of you as soon as possible.

Eeehh Asking Alexandria aren't my kind of thing the kind of Metalcore that I prefer is more on the lines of Converge, but if that's your kind of music then so be it, listen to whatever you wanna listen to. I bet everyone here has those bands that they love that get bashed to hell, I personally love Liturgy and I think that they're an awesome band, but yet not too many people like to agree with that.

Love the desktop!  My roomie just installed that OS as well recently and he's been trying to convert me.  It's gonna get real weird if you also tell me that you love Iron Maiden and Yes and Rush.  And that you bridge the gap between metal and prog rock with bands like Them Crooked Vultures.

 

THEN we might just be musical twins separated at birth.

WOOOOOAAAAAAHHHOHOHOHOHHHHH!

 

Hold your horses,don't chuck the prestige because you're not using it right.  I'm a fan of Schecters too, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.  For each instrument, a purpose.  The Prestige is a lead guitar meant for clean licks up high on the neck, hence the thin-ness.  The opposite is true for one of my guitars: Fender Strat American 50th special.  The neck is about as thick as an acoustic guitar because it is meant to be a rhythm guitar with a crunchy sound that you can slam around on.

 

My point?  Hold onto it, with some practice, you might need it.

I'm going to post some more Cannibal Corpse, since everyone on here dislikes them. SUCK IT!

Anyways a Converge song from me

 

And a Burzum track as well

False. Not the best, and they probably are one of those bands that make people not take metal seriously, but whatever.

 

Also, I listen to alot of bands that are probably considered garbage by  alot of people. *coughcough My Chemical Romance, Five Finger Death Punch cough cough*

 

Also MCR broke up. Made me a sad Twilie, even if their 2 most recent albums weren't too good.

I'm more of a rhythm player, that might explain my dislike for that Ibby. Neck is too thin to the point it becomes uncomfortable, and that's quite a problem. And I'm too lazy to set up that bloody tremolo properly. I'll never buy another guitar with trem.

 

I'm not telling there guitars are bad, they're just not for me. And I'm gonna sell it anyway

But dude, I've got my XFCE setup to look like how GNOME2 did. Comfy as phuk. Out of curiousity, what DE would you suggest instead? Resource usage doesn't really matter anymore.

I like me some Iron Maiden, from about their debut to Fear of the Dark. I like Rush's 80's stuff too. Never been big on Yes, or any prog rock for that matter. Aside from Rush, which I just mentioned. A bit of Genesis too.

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

DON'T SAY THAT. You're going to make me start crying Their stuff with Chris Barnes is amazing, hmmm kay. I'm not really into their latter stuff.

Okay now that made me laugh a little bit

I feel your pain, I still find it hard to take that Isis split up, I've always wanted to see them live

Oh well at least there will be Palms

 

And as for MCR I used to listen to them a lot, though I'm not as huge of a fan as I used to be

You stupid fucking whoooooorreeeeeee 

Don't feel alone, I love A fucking A, and Pierce the Veil and Sleeping with Sirens.

 

And that shouldn't mean I can't like Cannible Corpse or We butter the bread with butter or Converge and all that. ((Those 3 were just randoms picks of other bands I like))

 

 

Anyway. Aussie Metalcore:

Its not my first I already have a couple guitars a I have a 7string that I use on occasion but i dont like it cause the strings are really close together.

My mom ordered me an Ibanez Rg8 the other day.

I think my dad is trying to out do my mom.  

Either way a new guitar is a new giutar an i wont complain.

 Rush

 

Did someone say Rush????? (my favorite band of all time)

 

It's too bad this is a metal thread, or else I'd be posting Rush in here like crazy lol

It made me a sad Dashie too :/

 

Black Parade is still one of my favorite albums ever.

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

Are people seriusly talking about MCR on here? Like dafuq you guys are such posers. If you guys are going to talk about a non-metal band, could you guys make sure it's a good band like The Pixies, The Smiths or Joy Division.

So, I like listening to shit when I'm sad.

I wouldn't worry about it, MCR haven't been around long enough to break up. They'll get back together soon with a new album/tour and make millions.
