What happens when you mix two-hand tapping and early shredding at 120+ bpm and throw it on a Charvel Strat ripped apart and put back together. The very beginnings of modern guitar virtuosity, and the basis upon which every shred solo written was built. The pinnacle of precise skill, speed and progression.
Also, a very kickass Van Halen song.
I just played Eruption up to speed, and now I can't peel this orange.
Subdivision of emo and hardcore, generally having more similarities to hardcore in terms of instrumentals, but lyrics are closer to emo. Screamed or spoken-word vocals, laden over soft, proggy riffs or crashing metal madness, more the latter. Mostly dead by now, as the genre was already heavily explored in the 90's by bands such as Hot Cross, Saetia and Orchid.
Most modern (post-2000, really) bands referred to as screamo are either emocore, such as Alexisonfire and Thursday, or mall punks wearing eyeliner and trying to be scary, such as The Used and My Chemical Romance. Derision should not be layed against such mall punk bands, however, as they still have enough balls to wreck their vocal chords while singing about how they're just kids and thier lives are nightmares.
"Man, this Level-Plane screamo stuff is way too hardcore for my ears. But hot damn, those are some cool riffs." CORRECT
"The Used is a great screamo band." INCORRECT
The first cigarette in a pack, which you flip filter-down and put it back in the pack. Smoked as the last in the pack, at which point you make a wish. Invalid if you burn up the front of the filter, put it out before it's time or split it with someone.
Aaah, that was a nice wish smoke. Cross your fingers that I get laid tonight.
v. - To smoke a cigarette extremely fast, for fear of being caught by parents, teachers, siblings, or any other authorative figure.
I think I might have to powerfag this one. My dad was supposed to be home ten minutes ago.
