Small-Amp metal, the genre lives on

I've spoken before about the metal genre known as "small amp metal". In said sub-genre, the majority of the amps used by the band's musicians are generally shorter than the stage upon which they are playing. Long thought to be extinct, small amp metal (SAM for short) seems to be resurfacing slowly, much in the same way that creatures first rose from the primordial ooze. It's with this in mind that I share this video with you. Please pay close attention to the singer's amazing vocal abilities. Also notice that at :31 seconds, I think the singer utters the line "she has wonderful titties"

Thanks to reader Omair for sending this in.

    In terms of sheer volume, anything larger than a 2x12 for guitar is not really necessary for most bands. For shows in medium-sized venues and larger, they mic up the speaker cabinet anyway, so the guitar and bass volume ends up coming from the PA.

    People tend to fetishize stacks because they're visually impressive, but besides that feature they're a bitch to carry around and take up more space in whatever vehicle the band is using that night (mom's hatchback).

  3. i see a 4x12 back there. I wouldn't call that small...

    Favorite part: zoom out, tons of PA speakers, not a single person watching.

  9. The line "she has wonderful titties" is not completely surprising, considering the song title "Heathers Racks".
