You can say that music is heavy because of the way it sounds but

for me it comes more like from the experience of the people making it

"I'd rather be high or die" yeah that kind of stuff

You can have an acoustic guitar and one vocal

and it can be the heaviest thing in the world

Heavy is about being pissed off and being a warlord

and laying down like, just like someone that was in battle

if they had an axe and chop some dude in the head and it landed

and you have a riff that plays the same way that way, that's heavy

When the Beatles first came to America,

they had these tiny little amplifiers, you couldn't hear anything except girls screaming

that all changed when, like Marshall, Laney and Orange

started making these big, giant, hi-wattage amplifiers

that, all of a sudden shut the entire crowd up

a large part of early hard rock music is just trying to make sens of what you do

with all this distortion and all this volume

There is things you can do with clean, reverb tone

that are so evil, dark, it makes Black Sabbath sound like Peggy Lee

moving away from that idea

it's just being like headbanging whatever devil horn heavy rock we're making weird shit

So how are we going to get this sound
