Hey, That's MY Idea! | Tool - Vicarious | Songwriting Breakdown
I thought it might be interesting / fun to break down some songs I like and see if I can pick apart what makes them interesting and unique. I figured Tool would be a good place to start and I was right (of course!). Enjoy!

Heavy Metal Guitar Backing Track | C# Minor
มุมมอง 1094 หลายเดือนก่อน
I saw how many views some frankly horrendous guitar backing tracks out there have acquired, so couldn't help but feel I could do a good job of turning one of my demos into a backing track-ified version to see what you all think. Enjoy! Full Demo: th-cam.com/video/wpMkkgA0X9U/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JoeRowleyProject-Topic

    IMO Jimmy Page is a pretty good guitarist who has been winging it for years, but little more than that. Led Zeppelin had a very solid rhythm section and Plant's vocals carried them too, all which in turn made Page seem a lot better than he actually was.

    Most of my favorite bands joke around live. Trying to act brutal outside of the music is just kind of cringe. Leave that to the deathcore kiddies.

    Why I don't like Slaughter to Prevail. Hell, took me a loonnngg time to get down with Slipknot because of their 'serious' get up. Even the recording videos, just cringe sometimes. And let's not even talk about Metallica's TBS style recording videos good lord.

  • @markop.1994
    @markop.1994 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think the "serious" vibe works best when theres some element of mystery. Like even tho Clowncore is goofy, they stick to the bit very seriously and they sell it well. Or like slipknot back in the day before everyone knew who they actually were... it was badass. Dont get me wrong i love you guys just the way u are really. i litterally listen to Acrid Cannon, Golden Mouth of Ruin, and Drain of Incarnation daily. Making good music is whats most important. 👍🤘

    I like the discussion about how normal people have totally different expectations from music than music nerds or musicians. I don't care what people listen to, but these days there seems to be this insistence that everything is a democracy, as if "appealing to the lowest common denominator" is the metric by which art should be judged as being of high quality. But actually it's the opposite. Most people don't know shit about, or even like, classical composers, nor great painters or authors. They'll simply pay lip service to it because they know "smart people said it's good so I have to say it's good." But as far as "mass appeal is the metric for artistry," all of history's greatest names would be considered utter failures. Mozart isn't a household name because his music has mass appeal, it's because the cultural elite (who had an education in music) kept him relevant. Honestly, I could rant about how the idea of democracy has poisoned all of modern culture, but I think my point has been made.

    You can respect the skill while also acknowledging the guy is a bit of a pompous douche 😆 Funny he's says this sort of thing about modern players, when he's inspired scores of modern players that he probably doesn't even have time to listen to. Guitar players from modern metal bands like Amaranthe, Unleash the Archers, Alestorm. They can all shred faster than most players from 30 years ago, it just isn't their only priority.

    This is a great breakdown! The build into that final chorus gets me every time, especially with that triplet in the drums just before the bass drops down. If you are looking for other songs to break down, would love “The Sky is Red” by Leprous or maybe something by Rhapsody of Fire

    One TINY thing I forgot, is that the drum fill at the end finishes on the two floor toms as the bass riff comes in, just like the very first thing you hear in the song!
