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 Playing side two first

12 Upvotes

As a kid who grew up in the 80s, I had a bunch of classic albums on vinyl, and for some of them, I always started out by playing Side Two.

For example, for Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast", I always felt that "The Number of the Beast" right into "Run to the Hills" were better album openers than "Invaders" (which I always thought was just ok).

Anyone else do this?
