I even checked out Throwdown, Poison The Well, and Bleeding Through on Limewire since they were thanked in the liner notes. As well as getting into the then new bands like TDWP, August Burns Red, BMTH etc.

The secret to Suffer the Children by Napalm Death is that the two guitarists played the ryth. They were both unconsciously playing different riffs without nailing it. I tried recreating it with different gear so my tone was off but my playing was too tight. I mentioned that I suspected that to Mitch Harris and he laughed and said that's exactly what happened. So the whole riff is like warped and smeared which makes it sound GODLIKE. They were also not intonated the same so it sounds like a phasing chorus thing. Great video by the way. How good was Anthrax back then? CL80 celestion FTW. Guitar nrrdz like me ruined meh_ul.

Yeah he cut his fingertips off in a sheet metal factory incident right before leaving to tour Germany with his other band. He almost gave up music but then decided to persevere after hearing a Django Reinhardt record that his boss gave him. So he fashioned plastic fingertips and glued leather strips for traction. Sabbath’s first two albums were in standard tuning but after a couple years of constant touring Tony Iommi was in constant pain after gigs. So for the recording of Master of Reality he dropped the tuning one and a half steps down and strung his guitar with lighter banjo strings. They accidentally created sludge metal out of convenience lol
