So we have some rock/metal legends here :D

 

 

Short comments on selected songs:

 

Butthole Surfers - Pepper

Good quality custom and good song for beginners. On Lead it is not very easy (could even be rated 4), there is some solo playing but you can do it. Rhythm is boring, for the most part one powerchord, but still sounds good and Bass is easy too.

 

Black Sabbath - Bassically/N.I.B
Only Lead and Bass. On lead chords are not difficult, but the solo parts raises the level of this song. Bass is very interesting and is a challenge for me. Starts with a difficult bass intro, later it's little easier.

 

Van Halen - Dreams

I don't know who suggested this song (no entry in the table) but this song really got me! Lead doesn't seem difficult until short taping parts kick your ass :lol:
The rhythm is similar but there are no solos, so it goes to the intermediate level. Bass is rather easy and doesn't stand out with anything special.

 

Frank Zappa - Peaches en Regalia

Lead is hard but enjoyable to play and sounds good. Rhythm contains only chords and is not particularly difficult. Bass is difficult for me, I'll leave here a better rivalries.

 

Metallica - Ride the Lightning full album
I played lead and rhythm. Very good job Nocholede ;)

 

 

Thank you very much for choosing another one of my suggestions!! Previous attempts were before this week.

Been looking forward to this. First time hearing the full album too, only heard the odd song off guitar hero Metallica

 

Pretty solid album but escape just kinda seems out of place, doesn't really fit the album. Call of cthulhu tho, what a banger, love it.

This week is one of the most exciting already!!

 

Edward Synth Halen:

 

 

In (hopefully not too butchering) memory of Maryland's finest troll!

 

 

 

 

Massive gratitude to Senor @@Nacholede on delivering my second favorite pure thrash record of any decade in its uncut scorching majesty!
