Mastodon: Rythm guy plays a les paul.
SOAD: Daron favors a les paul as well.
Les Paul, stratocaster, and telecaster style guitars are very very common in metal as well.
- bena 8y agoI think he's just saying that things like the Flying V or Explorer are seen more in metal. If you see someone playing a Les Paul, it could be anything. If you see someone playing an Explorer, good bet it's metal.
- vibrolax 8y agoThat is what I meant, without any intention to disparage. Both Flying V and Explorer arrived in 1958 and promptly flopped until the age of metal. They are definitely icons of metal as the prototypical "pointy guitars". The classic Les Paul was discontinued around 1960 as tele-strat twang ruled that era, until revived around 1968 as heavier guitar sounds emerged. Disclaimer: I'm an LP person, but I've an equal number of Strats and Teles. I love them each for their unique qualities.
