[Nov 15,2005 8:56am - RustedAngel ""]
it pisses me off when I see a so many women playing bass instead of guitar just because it's easier/less prominent in most bands. My girlfriend is already a better guitarist than me and she's been playing for a 1 1/2 years, me 8 years. If she joins a metal band in a few years we're all fucked :spineyes:

why don't you tell her that to her face.
also:
bass is not easier than guitar, just different to master.
she's a great bass player.
the bass is way out front in this band.
[Nov 15,2005 10:05am - diamond_dave ""]
that dude's got a sweet sticker on his guitar...
[Nov 15,2005 10:09am - RustedAngel ""]
the_taste_of_cigarettes said:yeah your girlfriend plays fucking sick sweeps tom. I remember that video.
yeah man, she's like working backwards it's wierd. I didn't even know what sweeps/arpeggio's were at 1 1/2 years of playing. she worships jason becker and if she keeps up and maybe even puts more time into it she will blow away any female guitarist I've heard, and a whole shitload of dudes. The only decent guitar player I've heard is Carina Alfie (haha someone else has your name sis!) who is sorta like steve vai, but not quite as good. The Great Kat, from what I've heard is just mindless fast noodling and sounds like shit. There really isn't ANY female guitar players that have achieved the same level of support as Male guitar players like Vai/Satriani/ect. It's really sad. I guess you could say the same thing goes for drummers.
[Nov 15,2005 10:15am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
girls are good at bass because they got their groove back

it was NOTHING PERSONAL against her. I've never even heard this band before. I was generally speaking...In most cases bass is an easier feat unless you're a soloist bass player 'victor w00ten' and such.
It's a fact that there are no Female guitarists out there that are as good as the Male virtuoso's of the guitar world, or at least are as known. It's really sad actually. Most girls just want to look and feel badass so they pickup guitar, but mostly bass and just suck at it. My girlfriend was completely unaware about this kind of sexism about how guys look at female musicians as sex objects and don't take them seriously. She almost wanted to give up playing guitar because of that but with my support, her teachers support and her dedication to the guitar she is still going.
It comes down to this, I would really like to see some nasty super good female guitarists/drummers in this world.
[Nov 15,2005 10:29am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
Yeah no female guitarists around this area at allhttp://www.hekseri.net/

I guess you both missed my point...
I'm talking accomplished and as known as guitarists like VAI/BECKER/EVH or if you really prefer speaking terms of death metal then there are no female ERIK RUTANS or MUHAMMED/NECROPHAGIST'S. Understand what I'm saying now? It sucks, I wish there were sick female players, and maybe there would be if most picked up guitar / drums instead of flute's and clarinets because guitar is a 'manly' instrument or some gay shit.
[Nov 15,2005 10:52am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
There are plenty of accomplished female guitarists, just maybe not so much in metal.

who? like Kaki King? from what I've seen she's awesome but I've also heard that she's a bunch of tricks. But still, no metal players..................

Rusty gays up another thread.
How in the fuck does a guitar wanker discussion get started on a fucking Hellblock 6 thread?

because there was tons of discussion going on here in the first place with the rev basically chatting with himself at the top.
[Nov 15,2005 12:15pm - Joe/NotCommon ""]
Someone talk about Hellblock6 instead of trying to uncover if some cunt can play guitar well or not.

for the most part people that are accomplished musicians( have knowledge of notes,chords,scales) are pretentious wankers.
[Nov 15,2005 12:42pm - MarkKevorkian ""]
p.s Just because Rush are good musicians, doesn't meen that they aren't the fucking worst piece of shit ever.

i'm gonna go bump a thread...

RustedAngel said:In most cases bass is an easier feat unless you're a soloist bass player 'victor w00ten' and such.
nope not true. most bassists arent soloists because bass solos aren't used in alot of typical songwriting. since most bassists don't have the opportunity to play solos in the bands they're in, they dont learn soloing skills. doesnt make bass easier, bassists just develop a different set of skills.
ahh guitarists and their egos

ehy i just hate people putting those type of skills before good song writing

Catchy songs will always be better then overly-technical songs

and I'm not...IT IS possible to be accomplished with your instrument and write good songs...

yes, it definitely is, but why are there no females in metal who are truly good players having fun?

yeah okay, I guess devoting yourself to an instrument and learning everything there is possible about it isn't cool to 3 of you. Either way, I'm talking about female musicians here not about wankery.

I already said that when I stated that "most bassist's are in the background of the music". It makes it a lot easier to join bands as a bass player because it's not prominent in the music so all you need are basics. It's much harder to find a good bass player than it is to find a good guitar player. How is that?

like who Mr. know it all? in what metal bands? There's a few but none of them make you go 'WOW, she is an insane guitar player!"
If we setup a ratio between how many male/female guitar players are recognized as accomplished guitar players. It would probably be a thousand to 1. I think that sucks.

okay, so you listed 3 bands that feature female players, none are death metal, and none are as recognized as bands featuring male players.

heh, that's probably true. i just love the bass is all, must defend its honor.
as for the musicianship argument, I respect and aspire to be like accomplished and knowledgeable musicians. Technical music is my favorite kind of music. In fact, i think musicians who understand scales/chord progressions etc. are often BETTER songwriters because they understand how certain chords/tonalities flow and resolve.

i got one - drummer for GOROD - she is sick!
[Nov 15,2005 1:41pm - Joe/NotCommon ""]
There are definately way more men then women, but the same ratio probably applies to fans of metal, especially gay fucking death metal.
Noelle from Hellblock6 is good, I love her tone and style and she has alot of fun playing.
For death metal: Borborygmus

and the people who don't have at least some sort of respect for accomplished musicians are usually the people who can't write songs at all, hahah.
[Nov 15,2005 1:49pm - RustedAngel ""]
for the record: I suck at guitar but I have fun anyways.
Seeing others who have ridiculous ability/technique gives me motivation to improve though, knowing that once I get to a certain point it will be EXTRA fun knowing that I don't have many boundries.

thanks, you now see what I'm saying at least. There are quite a few women into metal these days and almost every girl I've seen who is into metal / death metal doesn't play an instrument, or if they do it's probably bass and it just sits in the corner of their room collecting dust.

ok, i actually agree with you on most of this.
and even though they're not metal, China, the (late) drummer of DMBQ/Shonen Knife was incredible. I think everyone in Sleater-Kinney is great also, especially the way the guitarists complement each other's playing.
[Nov 15,2005 2:54pm - Josh_Martin ""]
Isn't death metal supposed to be about killing and raping women, not helping them get ahead in the world.
This is beyond gay. We now have death metal feminists. Death metal is so fucking over. Nunslaughter is the only death metal band that still deserves to exist.
