Pickups for progressive/math metal

[RanchManSandy]

by and large the genre-naming phenomenon isn't about bands trying to plant a flag on "new" territory, it's just a way of describing a sound.

I've never seen it put a better way. A+ would read again

And maybe the Eagles' "Witchy Woman" should be given a different genre name than their "Peaceful Easy Feeling" since they are so different!

Come on. We don't need to give some music a different genre just because it has more treble or bass or distortion or a different time signature than another piece of music. Some basic categories are fine, but let's not go overboard.

Then don't listen to it.

Then don't listen to it.

Don't be so immature.
It's not about listening to different types of music or even enjoying them, it's about all the silly needless names.

it's about all the silly needless names.

It is actually about helping someone find a pickup for Math Metal and it would probably be more productive if we got back on subject.

'needless' is debatable and shows a desire to be willfully uninformed.

Like, i don't really listen to black metal much, but I do like a lot of blackened death metal bands. I know what that means. Is 3 words too many for you to digest?

Pegasus or Nazgul + Sentient, imo

Or parallel axis distortion + the parallel axis stack single (two very underrated models)

 

[Chistopher]

I still consider Don Felder heavy metal

Shout out to Deathproof, gotta be one of the worst movies ever made.

That's right but I can't help him if I don't know what "math metal" is. We just got a bit sidetracked with the terminology issue.

To add to the debate... when I hear "Math Metal", I either think of None-era Meshuggah or Dillinger Escape Plan. Not sure which one is "Math Metal"? Meshuggah is certainly more "Metal".

Or maybe Blotted Science.
