nekkichi 6043 Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) tbh all of their music sounds the same, they could as well keep the "new song A/B/C" thing as the actual finalized titles Edited January 5, 2017 by nekkichi 6 emmny, -NOVA-, Tokage and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saishu 1589 Posted January 5, 2017 Why would anyone in the band use an 8 string guitar when they can barely make sense of 6 strings? god, does this mean Jin is going to attempt writing djent songs? Do we call him Djin now? 4 Visutox, Jigsaw9, one-eyed waiter and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ro plz 1290 Posted January 6, 2017 Its mostly just for show and nothing more on top of that. A lot of what they do can easily be considered metalcore and done with a 6 string. 7 string's are nice because it offers more range and they allegedly sound better/heavier so that gets a pass. Anything more than that, i see as a ploy for attention. I can be wrong and maybe they can pull something even more great with this single with the use of an 8 string. But I am not counting on it.

Saishu 1589 Posted January 6, 2017 Stephan Carpenter from Deftones uses an 8 string, and I think it's justified because he isn't just strictly chugging his way thru everything. And there's Tosin Abasi who's borderline alien and utilizes the entire fretboard on his 8 string. Outside of that I'm hard pressed to think of other bands that need a use for it. Hell, how do these Japanese dudes with tiny hands expect to wrap their dwarves mitts around a larger neck? Kaoru and Die can barely hold a 7 string. 2 emmny and nullmoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmny 4139 Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) something tells me these guys are confident enough to try it (they've been listening to periphery, messhuggah and tesseract for a year or so, saw leda in concert once and suddenly think they can do it) bc its a significant investment to change their rig around to support 2 8-strings and a new bass (idk whether they'll go 6 string or stick with 5 and just re-configure it for whatever tuning). money's on itsuki and jin's diru stanning ass somehow pushing the band into thinking its gonna be a good idea. that said, even the diru guys from their vk background struggle on their 7 strings and itsuki+makoto are for all intents and purposes more vk players than they are actual metal....so unless they pull a magic act its going to suck guaranteed. leda was incredibly talented well before he donned an 8-string and even then he didn't debut new music on the thing for a few years or so after undivide/babymetal 6-string days (if im not mistaken) i have no clue how anyone thinks this will end well...no one in the band can pull a prog metal sound like this off because they're simply not that kind of a musician. these are vk guys for gods sake, even if the guitar work ends up passable there's no way their rhythm section can keep up. the best result we can hope for is something that'll sound like dss with an extra string.
