Chris Liebing goes heavy metal?

[steelgrooves]

Anybody else read this? I got it from trust the DJ..Im kinda anxious to see what he does with this concept.


German Techno God Goes Very Metal
11/01/2005

Rising techno star Chris Liebing chatted to Skrufff this week and revealed that he’s actively looking into introducing heavy rock elements into his high energy style of funky techno.

“What I’ve been trying lately is to steal a few of those heavy metal sounds and incorporate them into my tracks,” said Chris. “It’s really interesting to place these two worlds together. The borders between music are vanishing which is great, otherwise where does it go? Music has always been influenced by other genres and that’s what’s happening now,” he suggested.

“I used to listen to hard rock and heavy metal when I was really young and I believe the energy of the music is often similar to techno, even if the bpms are different,” Chris continued.

“If you listen to a tough Metallica track there’s a hard hitting energy about it which you can also find in a really cool techno track. I wouldn’t say it’s the same kind of music but there’s somehow the same sort of energy flow going on and you can connect some of these things.

The Frankfurt based producer, who was DJ magazine’s highest climber in their latest Top 100 DJ Poll, also revealed he’s a huge fan of Limp Bizkit as well as Scottish art-rockers Franz Ferdinand.

“I bought the Franz Ferdinand album a few weeks ago, and I’ve already one track from the album which started me thinking 'hmmm, that could be useful for a bootleg version',” he revealed.

“It’s all about the energy. These bands work with guitars, drums and bass and as an electronic artist you can add something with that; a hell of a lot, actually,” said Chris.

It's been done before.
Ask any metal head here.
Wasn't that what Chris McCormack did with Sigue Sigue Sputnik?
And he murdered that shit.
Tough act to follow in my opinion, even if it is Liebing

[g]

yeah, but who will be liebing's metal producer?

[steelgrooves]

yeah, but who will be liebing's metal producer?

I dont know if he ll have a metal producer, maybe just put some metal elements he makes himself.?

Any how guess we ll see.

[slavestudios]

NIN remixes.. and Helmet..

theres so much to be had.. i think hes bang on.

C McCormack has done the guitar thing twice (both ver similair imo) with Erase Techno being the finest 12ss of his ive heard..

[dirty_bass]

Nah, this`ll be poop
It`s very hard to get HM Guitar into a techno beat, cos it takes up loads of room.
And besides, no one will beat Cubanate for techno/metal crossover, and they murdered that shit way back in the mid to late 90`s

This reeks to me of "ah, the kids are into metal these days, I`ll make metal"

He`ll go the way of oakenfold.

:clap:

Yep.

He says all the right things and namechecks all the right people.

DJ Mag Top 10 here we come :love: :clap:

a guitar and a drum kit are just another couple of musical instruments. Just because someone used them in a techno song once before doesnt mean that you can run around saying ' hey! its been done before' and snigger behind his back. If thats the case we should be taking the same stance with the 909 drumkit or ****ing tish tish tish tish ride cymbol patterns.

He's might be taking out his arse but who cares ... go listen to cubanate and ministry and get over your selves. ;)

Im kinda anxious to see what he does with this concept.

Its not a concept.

[slimboy]

I can't see it working really. Maybe some very subtle samples of metal elements cleverly manipulated could work but just sticking metal guitar or vocals over techno sounds tacky in my opinion.

I quite liked Erase Techno but after a while it just sounded like a novelty record.

[Patrick DSP]

psy-trance/goa has been doing this for years now

anyone remember ragga-death with mc lite combining metal and ragga. dear loard not again. :P

well what ever it sounds like, it's got us talking about it

[Adverse]

:clap:

HAHAHAHAHAHA PRICELESS.

[koma]

wow, somebody discovered metal haha..
ok, the truth is, liebing never said he'll be the first to do it..!

its been done like zillion times in hardcore, goa also uses guitar riffs.. lenny dee said about 10 years ago, when asked why is he involved in so many styles and also looks like metal fan "to me, its all rock and roll, I make no difference whatsoever"

why techno should be limited..? no guitar, no vocals, no this, no that.. maybe he'll do it well and we'll all be suprised.. if not, slaughter can start then.. :lol: so lets wait a bit..

I remember Berzerker.. guy coming from australian speed metal band, who switched to hardcore techno,combining these two together.. damn, this dude sets were great.. later on, during stagnation on hardcore scene, I think he got bored and returned to metal again, still playing around Europe on alternative festivals with a band..

btw those traxx of mccormack :love:

[The Overfiend]

Bottom line is to me he should not try to champion a sound he did not invent.
Especially when McCormack, Cubanate, Berzerker, Nin all have been doing this for years.
At lease collab with one of them but don't say I'm going to yada yada. C'mon. Like me sampling Hip Hop then saying I was the first n*gga to do it. It's fronting on the supreme level.

well, he said he has idea for bootleg, it means original author will still be credited..

btw hip hop? oh yes, 50 Cent's voice over Benny Benassi or NIN sounds pretty good actually.. wonder if Liebing heard for him, they might try something together.. can't understand Fitty's vocal, so mashing with some schranz track wouldnt hurt it anyway :roll: :lol:

Its not a concept.

sorry, Im kinda anxious to hear what he does with this idea.

[steelgrooves]

Ill wait to hear what he does before having an opinion on it. Done before or not if he works right then more power to him.

First of all before you start making an ass of yourself, I said it would be like, not implying this is what I do, because it most certainly is not, I am making a point that it has been done before. So before you start cackling trying to make an example of someones opinion think about what you type and maintain your own dignity, son.
