i believe i am going to eat more than my words. recently i viewed a documentary called Electric Purgatory (er…spelling?). it totally rules and had a lot of bands on it i like; fishbone, living colour, 247 spyz. it also had god forbid which tempted me to give them a second chance all these years later. still could not pick out doc from dallas but…don’t really care. they jam pretty damn hard. then i got hard, tmi. jk. just rambling.

Good blog, I am also guilty of liking breakdowns but at the same time I know my ‘true’ metal, seeing Parkway Drive at the local pub next week, it’s gonna rape.

There are definitely some bands that know how to do breakdowns better than others. Parkway Drive is definitely the best band out right now that’s doing a lot of breakdowns, because they have the technicality in their songs to make them sound good and original. But the most important point raised here, I think, is how many copycat bands started emerging when the bands utilizing breakdowns became popular. If not for all those copycats, breakdowns would definitely not be so hated in the metal scene, I think.

Acid washed jeans and a sleeveless t shirt of your own band none the less. Throw in a tribal guitar and that is just plain horrible. Still love you Doc but seriously use another photo.

Theres nothing better than a well articulated, perfectly timed breakdown for about 20-30 seconds in a song. However its becoming a replacement for well written/played riffs. I hope this isnt a sign of the future.

I dunno, i think Wrath is definately a step up. Randy’s vocals have improved ten fold since theyve started.

Actually the first Lamb of God album I still think is fucking amazing. They had a very dangerous, loose-cannon feel to the music and Rany Blythe couldn’t hold a note and they reminded me a lot if Converge tried to play Meshugga-like riffs.

I like this guy.

He has an interesting way of arguing.

Plus, my mum and dad never had a basement.

They did have an attic though, if that helps?

The break down from Exhorder’s “I am The Cross” owns all.

oh stop making up bullshit. i might have gotten home and I’m drunk as shit, but even I know what you said is just pandering to the Internets of us all. War of Attrition has a breakdown that emerges out of a long riff, but other than that, there are not that many breakdowns. so stfu!
