Stormleader « Great pick for metal riffing! »

A while back when I went into my local music store of choice, I asked for some really heavy picks because I wanted to try something different besides the .88s I was using. I've since used these picks for probably close to a year now, and I haven't looked back. They are great for the genre I play, which is mainly Thrash metal with some drop-tuned stuff thrown in. It gives a really aggressive feel to your playing, and the precision the heaviness allows since it really doesn't bend at all is great for leads or complicated riffs.
Now, if I mainly played acoustic, or electric with big. clean, non-distorted chords I probably would stay away from this pick, because it gives a very quick and fast attack that. in my opinion, doesn't fit that style that well. It makes this a little harsher than I prefer, which works out great for metal, not so much for acoustic and the like.
Now, what don't I like about it? Well, it doesn't always seem to stay put in your fingers as well as some of the others. What I mean by that is that it can rotate around somewhat, which can be annoying on stage. It IS harder to drop because of the somewhat rough surface, but it isn't as... grippy as some of the other Dunlop picks.
I think I am going to try out the Jazz III's next, and they have a uber-grip version of those, so that will hopefully solve my problem with picks slipping around.
Overall, I like a lot of things about this pick. I would get this pick if you are a metal player who wants a fast, precise, and hard attack. Stay away from it if you are an acoustic or clean player who doesn't want a fast, precise, and hard attack.
