I'm wondering why you don't hear not necessarily metal, but some heavy bands using slides- the ballsy tone, 1/4 steps (or whatever fraction you can work in there, but anyway, it's chromatic riffs x10 to the western music centric ear). I've invented some incredibly heavy open D slide riffs.

We have non alcoholic beer too, they even have the audacity to put an Irish name on it. On the otherhand, we have "miro-brew" operations, and they're allowed to have slightly higher alcohol content.

However, the UK is one of two nations in the world where it's legal to buy and consume absynth, correct? You do have that one on us... hehe you can keep it.
