    In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with how Kerry solos. It's insane that 30 years after most of these songs were written, we can have a forum for our neighbor's 17 year old emo kid who just discovered metal on youtube to whine about pitch perfection in a band that was conceived to inspire terror. This is abstract and violent music. Kerry's solos are designed to reflect that. You want processed technical wanking, go watch a Polyphia vid. Nothing wrong with that shit either, it's just a different style.

      There's no melodic, harmonic, or rhythmic elements to his solos. Melody, harmony, and rhythm are literally the three things that make music music, and none of them are present in his solos. Nothing distinguishes one solo from another.
