BLIND GUARDIAN - Episode 18 | Shaping the God Machine

Hi Tino, usually i don't like to hear a click, because it's better to perform to the grove of the drums. But there are certain parts, that are not meant to have a grove, like for example some very static, sequenced melos. They just need to be very precise to do their job. Then it's easier for me to perform them, by having a click in the background. Hope that answers your question. :)

Andre, one question, you don’t use the click for recording the solos?

Great song that grew on me, even when I didn't like it too much in the start. The only part I would have done differently is the ref. I still think it is to thin to carry the climax of the conclusion of what comes before in the bridge. I think mainly due to the palm muted triplrets with a rather long silence in between them. I think if Markus would have supported the riff with his typical mix of palm mutes and open strings, it would have had much more weight (like for example in Ashes to Ashes at the start, one guitar palm muted, the other guitar open string chord to sustain the background and fill the space). But ofc this now an academic discussion, the song is done, and I bet my brain will adapt to it if I just hear more times. And since the CD is running non stop in my car, it will :D
