But seriously............why??

Just because Slayer have a piss-poor album called Diabolus In Musica does not mean anything in terms of explaining the musical term 'tritone'.

Diabolus In Musica was the name for the tritone when it was banned by religion in the middle ages.

Lessee, be like Phil:

Drink problems
Drug addiction
Heroin overdose

Great role model for me, eh? I doubt it.

Anyway, I could always be a 'typical Slayer fan' and aspire to play guitar with Sum 41.

Because Back in the day... Everyone strayed away from using tritone internals in music because they thought it was satanic or what have you. Hence the devil in music...

The diminished 5th was believed to invoke the devil.

Really? How interesting... (I hope this doesn't read as sarcasm as it is not intended as such)


Oh, and thirdeye, while I know that alphabetically speaking they are pretty close, there is a bit of a difference between TB and TC. Please get your bearings and remember which one you're at. Thank you and have a nice day.
