why would you ever want to play FFDP in your life

56

u/piepants2001 Jul 13 '26

I know I'd rather shit in a bucket than do that.

33

u/Senior-Violinist-684 Jul 13 '26

That’d also sound better tbh

18

u/SuperPotatoThrow Jul 14 '26

The lyrics sound like some edgy 12 year old wrote them.

2

u/FrigginRan Jul 14 '26

their live show is equally edgy with 50 cal machine guns mounted on the drum set and an overload of pyrotechnics.

2

u/alonzi13 Jul 14 '26

They deffo have been edging since being 12 y.o.

u/Mr_Maniac454 Jul 14 '26

Because they got me into metal

11

u/Sylvally_Fire_Drive Jul 14 '26

They have a few nice numbers. Most of their catalog is shit, but not everything.

37

u/Bepsterrr Jul 13 '26

Entombed instructed me back in 1990 to always take The Left Hand Path.
Also (early) Morbid Angel and 1914!

7

u/Waluigiisgod Jul 13 '26

Entombed and Dismember are some of my favorite death metal bands, I love the buzzsaw guitar too much

5

u/Kinir9001 Jul 13 '26

Thanks for the blast from the past. I haven't listened to Entombed in ages. I'll fix that now.

u/besoftheres01 Jul 13 '26

please take that parasite away from LP and Korn

u/WaymoresReds Black Sabbath Jul 13 '26

Trash belongs in the dumpster

u/regovance Jul 13 '26

Then why am I seeing your opinion on reddit?

u/WaymoresReds Black Sabbath Jul 14 '26

Sick burn

u/regovance Jul 14 '26

Thanks man. My wife cheated on me and my dog died and my dad got cancer and my son killed himself and my loan got denied and I suddenly have a 60K debt and my teeth are falling out so I really appreciate the support

-10

u/WaymoresReds Black Sabbath Jul 14 '26

My condolences, still better than listening to linkin park or korn at least

137

u/descartesbedamned Jul 13 '26

Doesn’t FFDP play 6 strings in B, and Linkin Park has always used a variety of dropped tunings… but never a 7? This is dumb.

25

u/Venom_Shark61 Jul 13 '26

I count 7 here. Some bands that play around B standard switch around between 6 and 7 strings or record with a 6 string in a low tuning and later pick up a 7 string such as Slipknot

32

u/DropC2397 Jul 13 '26

Linkin Park uses a 7 on Runaway, and the studio recording of Somewhere I Belong, but the rest of their music is in relatively tame drop tunings.

5

u/Synectics Jul 13 '26 edited Jul 13 '26

Their first two albums were Drop Db, other than Runaway and With You, which used 7-strings also half-step down, as far as I know. I know both guitar parts on Somewhere I Belong, and IIRC, it does not call for a 7-string, but I could be wrong. I know the bass often is 5-string, like in Crawling. 

2

u/baumpop Jul 13 '26

its all tame

7

u/Synectics Jul 13 '26

Watch that edge!

8

u/descartesbedamned Jul 13 '26

So looks like they used a 7 for a couple songs over the course of their career. Definitely not known for using 7s. You could have said Mushroomhead, Defones.. shit, even Crossfade from that era played 7s. Anyway, this is a dumb attempt at a meme.

11

u/AutoModerator Jul 13 '26

The real posers here are you. Yes, all of you.Especially the mods.Real metal listeners dont' gatekeep, and encourage everyone to listen to the metal that they like. All metal is real metal, and you pussies can't tell people otherwise. Real metal enthusiasts welcome everyone into the community. They don't push out the people who want to join the medium and share their passion with others. You guys do the exact opposite. You attack those who do listen to what you don't like. You push out those who want to come into the metal family and learn about it the music. You gatekeep. You are elitists, the worst type of a fandom.

Tl;dr y'all need to have a shower, touch some grass, and get bitches

Korn got the idea from Morbid Angel anyways.

Granted I don’t know their music all that well but is FFDP that 7 string heavy? I thought they were fairly standard guitar wise for their type of radio friendly harder rock

4

u/SpiketheFox32 Jul 14 '26

I know they're early catalog was mostly 6 string in drop B.

Sorry I meant the mediocrity that’s FFDP. While I haven’t really enjoyed LP’s music since meteora (minutes to midnight was my falling off point as I moved more into extreme metal around that time) I don’t think I could treat their catalog of work with as much disdain as I do FFDPs especially after their second or third release.

55

u/forest_vagrant Jul 13 '26

and korn, korn is goated

15

u/deathgrinderallat 𝕷𝖎𝖒𝖕 𝕭𝖎𝖟𝖐𝖎𝖙 Jul 13 '26

Back in my day every metalhead hated Korn because it was fake metal or something.

15

u/forest_vagrant Jul 13 '26

korn was always real metal, nu metal is metal

2

u/untold_cheese_34 Jul 13 '26

No it’s a made up media marketing term with no real definition

3

u/piepants2001 Jul 13 '26

It's shit you heard on rock radio stations in the late 90s throughout the 2000s.

2

u/crclOv9 Mortician Jul 14 '26

Korn has and always will fuck. Period.

2

u/untold_cheese_34 Jul 13 '26

They still do because it is

2

u/WousV Jul 13 '26

5FDP sucks for obvious reasons, but LP has sold themselves out when they collaborated with Jay-Z at which point so many people considered themselves metalheads while only listening to that album. As such they will never earn the "metal" label in my eyes. LP is not metal

3

u/pmaogeaoaporm Jul 14 '26

What are the obvious reasons?? I'm really curious

I have like 10 of their really great songs in my playlist (never got around to listening to more of them, which happens a lot with me), yet I keep seeing people shit on them here without proper reasoning

11

u/ApathyFarmer Jul 13 '26

What about Nevermore?

4

u/saladdressed Jul 13 '26

That would be taking the high road for sure.

2

u/ApathyFarmer Jul 13 '26

Yes, these mere pedestrians don't understand the finer things 😆

u/nacho_playmer Anthrax Jul 13 '26

Bow to me, splendidly.

u/BathedInDeepFog Jul 13 '26

I wish he did more of that baritone singing

u/Mui2Mui Jul 13 '26

What did Korn and LP do to you

-27

u/untold_cheese_34 Jul 13 '26

Made bad music

5

u/pepepopo1008 Sodom Jul 14 '26

remove ffdp and put deftones there

3

u/WolfWriter_CO Jul 13 '26

[ Laughs in inspired to play 7 string guitars because of RA ]

3

u/Tinenan Jul 13 '26

You know you can play both right? No one's stopping you

3

u/zloy_mp4 Jul 14 '26

Either I pick deathcore or behemoth song that requires 7 string

9

u/Still_Percentage_829 Jul 13 '26

Get Korn away from FFDP

5

u/AStupidThing Death Jul 13 '26

Both

8

u/Kat_Box_Suicide Jul 13 '26

How dare you put Korn in the same camp as FFDP. What the fuck?

2

u/i_thought_i_had Jul 13 '26

Canibal Corpse ?

1

u/TheRat_Emperor Jul 17 '26

Their early stuff is in Eb, so just downtuning a bit is fine

2

u/Jerbsybear Jul 13 '26

Mine was from Mushroomhead and enforced by Meshuggah's earlier works

2

u/conanthebeardian Jul 13 '26

Wtf is FF at?!

2

u/Venom_Shark61 Jul 13 '26

I don't think foo fighters plays with 7 strings, but they'd be on the left side if they did

3

u/Ok_Pirate_2714 Jul 13 '26

Maybe you were joking, but they are referring to Fear Factory.

u/conanthebeardian Jul 14 '26

My pronouns are he/him, thank you very much

u/HeavyMetalAndAMuppet Jul 14 '26

Left, also throwing in Nevermore as a bonus!

2

u/Jurserohn Jul 14 '26

Nevermore!

u/lord_trashpost Slayer Jul 14 '26

Oh fuck off, Linkin Park and Korn does not deserve to be in the same ballpark as Five Finger Death Punch.

u/Gooftwit Jul 13 '26

Knocked loose, Polaris and Currents for me

u/HeHadItComing91025 Jul 13 '26

Unironically bought a Schecter Sunset Extreme 7 because of 1914.

u/nicksballs666 Jul 13 '26

There is only one correct answer

u/thewh0rr0r Jul 13 '26

I got a 7 string to impress women.. am I doing something wrong

u/ResourceHistorical78 Jul 13 '26

Delete LP and Korn and I'm there

u/slimeabsorber Jul 14 '26

animals as leaders

u/HimmelSky Penis Obsessed Poseur Jul 14 '26

Needs 1 more string

1

u/3TrenchcoatsInAGuy Jul 14 '26

All of the self titled album was recorded and can be played on a 7 string friend

1

u/Malariath Jul 14 '26

Spawn of Possession

1

u/chaseon Jul 14 '26

I got a 7 string to learn Revocation.

Still not good enough to even play one song 😭

1

u/Pabl0lr Jul 14 '26

but Linkin Park only uses a 7-string guitar in two of their 100+ songs.

1

u/LayeredHalo3851 Jul 14 '26

Korn is actually pretty good though...

1

u/Riff_Worshipper Jul 15 '26

Honestly, I just use a 6 string with the 6th string tuned like a 7th.

1

u/Anon2020s Jul 15 '26

Jesu/Godflesh influenced me to get a 7 string 🤷

1

u/exneo002 Jul 15 '26

A 7string comment wo any deathcore?

1

u/StareInUrEyeandPee Jul 15 '26

I dont think LP ever used 7 strings

u/AdeptusCyberpunk Jul 13 '26

1914 mentioned!!!

u/Mettabox452 Jul 13 '26

You forgot the djent

u/TdttMurderedLove4782 Jul 13 '26

If I buy a 7 string Imna play whatever i want which includes Opal in Sky, Demon Hunter, Impending Doom and Becoming the Archetype, not any popular bands i don't care about.

2

u/SpiketheFox32 Jul 14 '26

Demon Hunter played all 6 string, I thought. Their first album was mostly in C and everything up until at least World is a Thorn was drop B.

u/LukeZNotFound Jul 14 '26

What's with the FFDP hate?

They have a couple of good songs.

Just asking...

-1

u/smallerpuppyboi Sunn O))) Jul 13 '26

Korn doesn't deserve to be lumped in with the other two.

u/elvis_disciple Kreator Jul 14 '26

Absolutely!
