shred

n the context of an electric guitar, "shredding" refers to a virtuosic, highly technical style of playing the instrument, as exemplified by the virtuosos of the eighties such as Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen or Michael Angelo Batio

Other guitarists include jason becker and marty friedman
____________________

The technique consists of complex fast speed picking and sweeping, performing lightning fast riffs and solos

____________________

It's popularity plummeted along with most other metal genres with the arrival of the very simple genre Grunge, which focused on talentless musicians who hadnt bothered to learn their instrument with the passion of shredders

____________________

It has been said that shredding is a very boring experience which focuses more on showing off than showing emotion, which is a description used only by people who do not understand guitar...It is a master class in how much energy and focus you should put into learning your instrument and should be admired not ridiculed...

______________________

Most recent shredders include dragonforce guitarist Herman Li and the very plain rusty cooley

Shred is not used in Nu Metal or other bland genres, which focus more on hip hop or electronic noises...shred is the music for people who have took time to master their skill on guitar

megadeth

1. The Death of 1,000,000 people in a nuclear explosion

2. A band created by former metallica guitarist dave mustaine , They play harder and faster than MetallicA ... They also stick to what they are good at and didn't sell out like MetallicA.

Their best albums include RUST IN PEACE, PEACE SELLS BUT WHOSE BUYING and COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION

Megadeth are the best speed metal band ever

helloween

Probably the most influencial power band to come out of europe along with blind guardian ... You can split Helloween into two parts...one if the melodic speed power metal band heard throughout the 80's with classic albums such as Walls Of Jericho and Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 1+2.

The other is the band lost without kai hansen and michael kiske , a much different band which has lost the brilliance from the 80's...and replaced it with singer andi deris who is very poor live

Greatest Work is Keeper Of The Seven Keys

Helloween are great !!

metallica

A band which was once thrash....during the 80s, then took a turn in the very early 90s and became Hard Rock, they have been declining ever since and have become a nu metal band, being the big boys amongst gay bands such as Linkin Park and mudvayne.

METALLICA

VVVVVVVVV

!!there may be a wah wah pedal in there....yes the weapon of choice by the average Kirk Hammett..the most overrated guitarist in "metal" the wannabe shredder...on the St Anger album he does not play any solos, there may be a few explanations 1)he lost his wah wah pedal and needs to sue some fans to get the money to replace it or 2)he saw some good guitarists like Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen and thought ill never be like them i should just stop trying.

!!an 8 minute song with 1 riff, a de tuned E string riff which will go on forever, stop---and make you think a solos coming up but disappoint you again and go straight back into the riff

!!a drummer playing with dustbins

!!many many ugly ugly bassists

!!your friend gets taken to court for downloading, tut tut metallica at it again

!!when lars(drummer) says "we are the best thrash band on the planet" but then says a few years later "we can play what we want , we arent a thrash band"

!!they have went from wearing jeans, drinking beer on stage, having fights...to a gucci wearing group of millionaires fighting over who gets to fly the private jet

Metallica = shit thrash now nu metal

Megadeth = THE thrash band , 1,000,000 times better than craptallica
