This BLUEGRASS Is Driving Me CRAZY!!


I keep saying I love this kind of music but you can't just have it on in the background. It's CRAZY-MAKING!

But listen to these guys will you? This is some virtuoso work on the frets and strings, here. What exactly was it that was supposed to make thrash so particularly impressive, from a "whoa-musicianship!" standpoint? These guys shred every bit as much. It's just less loud.

Bluegrass is thrash less loud.

Don't these dudes sound a little like Motörhead? At key points. And the main riff! Here: for comparison:

Beautiful. What a great song!

An even more perfect for instance! These boys rock out the same song "Ace of Spades" as a straight bluegrass:

Isn't the online video revolution something or other?

Go Motörhead!
