The Brilliance of Chuck Schuldiner (Death Riffs with NO DISTORTION) | Part 2

[@FrederickW]

Can we just appreciate how much Chuck has done and achieved musically in his 16 year career as a musician.

[@demonguysayshi2666]

Wasn't it longer since he dropped out of school to play music?

of course we can

I truly believe Chuck was a time traveler 👌🏻 His music is timeless His soul has lived several eons through the last 10,000 yeara in all major civilzations Such music can come from the source of one consciousness, the Universe

Individual Thought Patterns is kind of underrated in the Death catalog. It easily gets overshadowed by both its younger and older brothers. Mentally Blind is a perfect example of a great track that people often neglect for Symbolic, Zombie Ritual, Pull the Plug, Suicide Machine and so on. Props to you for giving the piece its due.

Control Denied was not only a side project, it was the band Chuck meant to continue with, playing 'not so heavy/death metal' stuff with another vocalist, Death's former bassis Steve Di Giorgio and Death's final line-up drummer and guitarist. I read somewhere that indeed some music from 'The Sound of Perseverance' was originally written for Control Denied.

[@davidcloud5886]

Philosopher sounds just as strange yet tasteful as I thought it would!

[@skepticalbystander]

The abrupt 180° changes in good metal is one of the most satisfying parts of it all, pop songs are like a kiddy "rollercoaster" ride, music that focuses on skill and technical creativity and breaking anticipation is what makes it feel so fun to not have expected what you're gonna hear next, all within the confines of understanding what people mean when they say a lot of metal sounds the same. Technical musicians in metal remind me so much of the intricate wordsmithing and fast frantic precise rhythmic flows rappers have, it feels like I love hip hop artists like Busta Rhymes and Tech N9ne and Eminem and jazz bands like Snarky Puppy and anything fast and technical for the same reasons I love metal so much, fast technical music for music-heads is just so satisfying to me. I appreciate the intense musical effort and ride of controlled chaos.
