Metal can be so boring . . .

If you think metal has some sort of "dogma" attached to it, you're playing with the wrong people.

Guess there are boatloads of wrong people out there, apparently.

Sure, I like metal, and I play metal primarily, but lately I've been thinking . . . it would be so cool if I could add some kind of craziness, you know? Some ring modulator, some wah, some distortion mixed with synth, go nuts with a Subdecay Prometheus or something.

I've been listening to lots of Muse and stuff like that, and in addition to the righteous grooves, some of the sounds are just so freakin' cool . . . I want to make some of that noise, man!

Guess I'm just getting bored with metal, which is like 'How fast and how technical can I play?' Yeah, I respect it. But, with the exception of a few bands, there's not much room in metal for experimentation effects-wise.

Guess I'm just getting bored, or perhaps I'm whinning. Regardless, my boredom with metal lately has led me on a learning path. Working on expanding my musical vocabulary, leanring more about theory, building my fill-repetoire. Whatever . . .

Every genre CAN be boring. I love Jazz but I've heard some Jazz groups that bore me to tears, for instance. And you hit on something very important: boredom with genre x, y, or z should lead you to another genre, and hence, learning, and doing something that is not boring.

Yes, there are.

There is. It's an absolute chore finding great players who can share your vision and bring something worthy to life. It can take a decade for something like that to happen even if you are dilligent.
