And for In Flames, heh, well they're extremely melodic, aren't they. Especially for a death metal band.
But I mean, I once watched a video of a band, Six Feet Under I think. They had one heavy song. Imagine such a song, with a sweet neat happy-happy solo. That would be very strange. But fun.
- Allright, one more thing. Listen up. Let's say we have a chord progression, still in C major. Well, now, what if we choose some notes to solo with. All the notes are NOT in the C major scale. When we play the solo, could we still say that we are "playing against the harmony", or are we just playing a bunch of WRONG NOTES? I mean, say there is a man - not very good of a guitar player - who's soloing. He's using lots of out of key notes. You say:
"Hell, why don't you play something real, not just a bunch of false notes?"
Answer: "Well, I enjoy playing against the harmony, do you have a problem with that?"
(I mean, he's playing VERY out-of-key, and it sounds bad.)
Would you support him? Suppose you wouldn't, but I just want to to comment this situation with a few words.
