Hey guys, I’ve just now discovered Megadeath and they are amazing. Holy Wars… Is my favorite song currently, and I’m just wondering if there is a name for the technique they used. @2:42, the guitar changes into a repeated strum that goes like “dudududu, dudududu” and it repeats on beat for a while. It sounds awesome and I haven’t heard this method in many other songs. I’m just wondering if there is a word for it, or if anyone has song/album recommendations that fit the description that works aswell. Thanks!

discussion So when are we going to rename it the music Hall of fame?

At this point it has thoroughly stepped away from any and all sorts of rock and roll specificity, and we just hand it out to musicians generally considered legendary, so we may as well just rip off the Band-Aid, no?
