All those guitarist have exactly the same tone - perfect.
In answer to the question, I really like the sound of the later Immortal guitar sound.

by the way, if you think there exactly the same your either retarted or cant hear

[HelpMeHelpYou]

I'm pretty sure he was just saying that they thought that all of those guitarists had great tone not the same tone.

Anyway in answer to your question I'd have to say I enjoy Shadows Fall's tone and Cryptopsy's tone.

[OpethFan]

For cleans i like Opeths, but older stuff like guns n roses ect

I quite like the distortion used back in the day, like queen was on the radio yesterday (we will rock you) and i thought the tone of the guitar part at the end was real cool/old sounding.
I like tool's tones they use too.
Shit i cant think, way too many to list.

[Bia]

Dave Murray & Adrian Smith have a sound that is quite unique.

[HermanRi!]

im going to get slaughtered for saying this, but i like slipknots tone from iowa and their s/t album.
i also like killswitch engage's tone and aborted's tone.

[DeathCS]

SCOOOPZ

[Soeru]

Krisiun's live sound... don't know, sounds much more raw and sharp than on the albums.

Decapitated, Vader, Behemoth(ZKC tone), Terrorizer, newer Immortal(both clean and dirty), and Megadeth/Marty Friedman.

[YJM04]

iced earth has a pretty kick ass tone

[davie_gravy]

I love dimebag's tone

[crispykid]

hmmmm theres alot i'll just name a few

dimebag-"cowboys from hell" era is my favorite form him all the other albums are good to thats my favortie

noah from skinless every album "progression towards evil" is my favorite brutal in your face chunky tone, got to love it

zack and steve from cephalic carnage on "anomalies" very sick clean distortion

john and sparky from dying fetus on "destroy the oppostion"

and an old school one metallica on "ride the lightining" the tone was killer especially for 83' its a very good tone no matter what though

[CodeOfHonour]

Lead-guitar-sound on Brutality's "Screams of anguish"

[Silent Night 6 6]

Motha fuckin' Zakk Wylde, "Mafia" has a pretty awesome tone.

[guitariste]

Alexi Laiho :vampire:

[Perdition City]

I really like the tone Emperor use on the later albums, especially in the songs Empty and The Tongue Of Fire.

[Yertle4]

im going to get slaughtered for saying this, but i like slipknots tone from iowa and their s/t album.

That guitar sound almost made me want to kill myself to escape it. I agree with the above post as well ^

[Dissection]

Chuck Schuldiner, "Symbolic." That album is what I want in heavy guitar tone.

As for clean sound, Agalloch. And my clean comes very close to it.

[YJM04]

Chuck Schuldiner, "Symbolic."
it sucks that he's gone

[arvina]

my favorite tone is on killswitch engage's the end of all heartache. number 11 , what ever that one is. at the very end he just holds a power chord or a ninth or sumthin and it sounds so powerfull. there is 2 guitars though.

[rapeandruin]

Chuck Schuldiner, "Symbolic."

Hell yeah

Ancient Rites - Fatherland
Cage - Darker than Black
Decapitated - Negation
Decapitated - Nihility
God Dethroned - Ravenous
HammerFall - Crimson Thunder
HammerFall - Heeding the Call
Lamb of God - As the Palaces Burn
Megadeth - Killing is My Business...and the Business is Good
Old Man's Child - In Defiance of Existence

yeah lots of tones i like...so shoot me

[Dissection]

it sucks that he's gone

I think about it every day. I have the Guitar World article up on my wall next to where I keep my guitar. I'd light a candle for him ever day if I was religious.

[Seve420]

Cephalic Carnage

[\m/Eat At Joe's\m/]

"Symbolic" for me too.

Megadeth-Rust in Peace

(clean tone)Rory Gallagher-Irish Tour (yes, i know. not metal-but still good!)

Morbid Angel- Blessed Are The Sick (evil), Gateways (chunky)

[hoejer]

Behemoths "zos kia cultus" tone

Mastodon's tone is often pretty killer, although muddy at some times. I like their lead tone the most though. The end solo on Elephant Man has a Killer tone.

Carcass' tone on both Heartwork and Swansong is pretty good too.

[Perdition City]

Carcass' tone on both Heartwork and Swansong is pretty good too.

Yeah Carcass tones were awesome on both those albums, especially Heartwork... their tone had like a ... snarl to it (thats the best i can describe it anyways, it was just awesome :p )

another tone I like is the Exhumed tone on Gore Metal, it's so thick and brutal, it just suits the title gore metal so perfectly.

[Six_Feet_Under_420]

basicly all dying fetus tracks have great distortion imo. But i like the destroy the opposition one best.

[Exodus666]

BM:
Immortal's distortion & clean, same for Dissection.
Also the more dirty sound like Nargaroth and Nachtfalke is great.

DM:
Necrophagist, Decapitated, Nile, Aborted, Serial Butcher, and of course Death! Holy fuck. :)

[Brutur]

Santiago Dobles! Fuck I love his sound!

[John Holland]

Meshuggah, Bloodbath ( on Nightmares Made Flesh ), Nile, Pig Destroyer, Suffocation.

[IRON90]

I like slash's tone. It fucking rocks. And Michael Angelos is really cool too.

[Bia]

I like slash's tone.

Me too... a style all his own.

[Slabbefusk]

Distorted: Cannibal Corpse- The Wretched Spawn, Dying Fetus - Stop at Nothing, Death - Symbolic

Clean: Hmm, Opeth.

[PST 88]

Scott Ian.

I like the combination of Loomis and Andy Sneap, though anything Sneap produces has a great guitar tone.

[IlikeRiffseveryone]

Chuck shuldiners and alexi laihos. And also in insonium how the the guitar tone sounds sounds sort of flamboyant and partyish IMO.

[Zertonshfits]

i like Dimes, Dan Mongrain from Martyr has awsome tone on Warp Zone, Andy Timmons, and Cryptopsy on None So Vile, Wisper Supremacy and ...And Then You Beg.

[TruthDevoid]

The Crown's tone on Possessed 13 is fucking grand. Cephalic Carnage's Anomolies has a very evil sound to it, which i love.

[andras]

suffocation - pierced from within
immortal - pure holocaust
marduk - nightwing
sadistik exekution - FUKK
immolation - failures for gods, close to a world below
meshuggah - nothing
napalm death - fear, empitness, despair...
slayer - decade of aggression

[newHELLonEARTH]

Steve Vai's tone is amazing.. Satch is a little calmer then Vai's, I like them both but Vai's my favorite.
And I love the tone Cryptopsy gets especially on None so Vile

[Seve420]

basicly all dying fetus tracks have great distortion imo.

I think Dying Fetus has a very generic tone, nothing amazing. Also a bit too 'dry', lacking bass.


I forgot Psycroptic - Scepter Of The Ancients but I guess a lot of the tone just comes from the fingers, how riffs are played.

[powersofterror]

I like the Death sound. All else need not exist.

[h4x5k8]

Distorted: Cannibal Corpse- The Wretched Spawn, Dying Fetus - Stop at Nothing, Death - Symbolic

Clean: Hmm, Opeth.
Very nice :beer:

[younguitarist]

Also a bit too 'dry', lacking bass.



Depends what album you're talking about. Listen to Grotesque Impalement, that album has a good amount of bass.

Dragonforce has a decent tone
Morbid Angel - Rapture
Immolation - Close To A World Below

[NuMustDie]

My favorite guitar tones come from Martyr's warp zone and Necrophagist's onset of putrefaction. I love the high gain with lots of clarity, where you can still define the notes, even though its at a super fast speed. As much as I hate metallica these days, it seems we have all forgotten about the sounds of the black album.

[YJM04]

no kirk still uses the wah/wah pedal now days.

[Dissection]

Do you honestly think before you speak?

[HalfmastTrousers]

Vital Remians tone = pwnage


Severed Savior's tone is my favorite brutal tone right now. And look at that, they use ENGLs, like me :idea:

Also, oddly enough, Crotchduster's tone on their brutal parts is awesome o_O. I havent heard Capharnaum, but i imagine they have the same tone.

Ye olde tone? fucking Guns 'n Roses and Aerosmith.

While Alexi Laiho is my fucking hero, he needs to get kicked in the ass...his tone is kinda ice-picky.

[h4x5k8]

no kirk still uses the wah/wah pedal now days.
:rofl:

[Sh!t V!per]

Hey, first time poster :p

I really like Alexi's sound, sounds like razors shredding through stuff. Killswitch Engage is cool too. . . I think they use a line 6 tone core pedal called "uber metal."

I also really like Trivium's sound, does anyone happen to know what kind of distortion they use?

[KthalEhthrek]

I like the slightly dirty sound of Carlos Santana, the clean electric tone of Opeth on the Still Life Album, the weird almost jazz sound of Spawn of Possession, Akercocke's distorted and clean tones on Choronzon, Anaal Nathrakh's tone on Domine Non Es Dignus.

Death's sound on Individual Thought Patterns and Symbolic was great. The cleans were a favorite of mine.

I don't think I have a favorite really but If I was forced to pick, it'd be Necrophagists sound on the album Epitaph. So clear and awesome.

[antipunx]

evh, mike and chris ammot (arch enemy), yngwie,
mark morton and willie adler (lamb of god), and shadows fall.
and vai, satriani, zakk wylde, dime.

the worst tone of all time kerry king :guitar:

[powersofterror]

Do you honestly think before you speak?
Yes, I do. Is there a problem with liking the death sound more than you?

[IlikeRiffseveryone]

Necrophagist is great too. A really clear articulate tone in brutal death metal.

[Zionist]

Monstrosity
Cephalic Carnage
Dying Fetus
Soilent Green
