@sigmaramen
19 күн бұрын
It's because you make a guitar "scream" by playing a harmonic on the highest tuned strings and using the whammy bar (bending it forward and backward) to make it go higher and lower in pitch, which can imitate a human screaming. Early rock and metal guitar solos made use of this technique, of which predate Slayer as a band. Evidence of this is when King himself looks quizzically, and responds by saying "My leads are archaic, for sure."

To he fair, 80's MTV was pretty much all rock. Especially the glam scene. Then '91 happened and grunge became the new exciting thing. The mid 90's MTV did habe rock/metal programs, but this was also when rap/r&b really blew up. This is also the period where MTV introduced stuff like The Real World and Road Rules. Some of, if not the first "reality tv" shows. They were such a hit that MTV never looked back. Today, MTV is essentially the 24 hour Ridiculousness/Catfish channel. It's trash. Ironically, on satellite, MTV has multiple channels. The main one is trash but the other channel DOES play rock/metal videos from the 80's and 90's. But you have to pay extra to get the channel. MTV knows what people want. But for some reason, they refuse to give them that.

But then around '91 when grunge happened, TV AND radio execs saw it as a new exciting thing and made it seem as if rock wasn't relevant anymore. It wasn't that rock/metal died in the 90s, because both genre's had MASSIVE followings. It was simply a matter of the executives in charge of tv and radio trying their hardest to hide and downplay their music while promoting something else as the new thing.

There was a big, long, chunky period in which you couldn't put on the channel without Anthrax on the tv screen. They even jumped on the metal/rap fusion with the Public Enemy blended w metal for "Bring The Noise". & If not THAT., the outcry for the Indians by Joey Beladonna got way overplayed so much that Iwill never again see an Indian Chief Head Dress on ANYONE without seeing the singers face inside of it, prancing around on the stage following the Scott Ian chant "WAR DANCE!", let alone the countless other videos that were made AFTER that voideo over the years until they stopped airing music videos altogether. If it hadn't been for MTV's excessive Anthrax airplay, myself & millions of other music fans would barely ever heard of the band...if at all.
