    A variation on this I'd like to see is to do this whole random song thing. Then once it's done, take the drums out and send it to a drummer to see what they come up with.

    I see Tommy...I get excited. It's that simple.
    Edit: HOLY SHIT!!! That was epic. I love BTBAM, and this certainly had a BTBAM feel. Tommy is so versatile being able to adapt to different grooves and stuff. I need this song on Spotify. If it ever makes its way on there, it's definitely a regular listen for me.

    I like the idea of introducing riffs a little before it actually hits. I do this with swaping the ending out with the new riff ending.

    @BeatMyMeatSkeetSkeet Před 2 lety +3

    Modern metal sucks big time. BTW, just understanding the structure of songs and recognizing what makes a good song doesn't necessaril make you write good songs, just like understanding the visual compositions and colors of Michelangelo or DaVinci doesn't mean you can make a painting like they did
