I like this no smear approach to guitar. My drummer likes the Fu but when I dial in the Fu tone he thinks it's all wimpy like. So, then I turn up the grind and he approves, think average metal band. Then, I get contemplative and notice a gap of perception between the people who can discern tone6 from metro. What he likes is the pop song writing appeal of Fu, think Journey. You know what, I think I'll start a Pantera-esqe metal band in Dallas. That will be original. All I need is a shitty singer.
