The spider chord is a guitar technique popularized during the 80's thrash metal scene. Regarded as being re-popularized by Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, it is used to reduce string noise when playing (mostly chromatic) riffs which require chords across several strings.
The chord or technique is used in the songs "Wake Up Dead", "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" and "Ride the Lightning".

B|-------|
G|-------|
D|-7-----|
A|-5--8--|
E|----6--|
The two power chords may be played in succession without shifting, making it easier and quicker, and thus avoiding string noise. The normal fingering would be for both chords, requiring a simultaneous shift and string change. Note that the two power chords are a major third apart, if the first chord is the tonic the second is the minor submediant. The spider chord fingering also allows access to a major seventh chord without the third.
The spider chord requires the player to use all four fingers of the left hand, thus its name. This technique then allows you to run down the neck playing either of the two chords

A guitar chord that is played with all open strings. Often played by people who don't know how to play guitar and just fake it by randomly strumming open strings.

The Red Chord is a brutal grindcore band from Revere, Massachusetts. Simply put, they know how to shred. Their album Fed Through the Teeth Machine is a nasty, death metal fused assault on your ears and lever lets up from start to finish. The Red Chord's music is novelistic and impressionistic; you probably won't be able to fully wrap your head around what you've just heard after a single listen.
After listening to The Red Chord, I have come to the conclusion that the music on Fed Through the Teeth Machine is like a hulking hammer that rips and tears at the fabric of all that is trend-driven.
If you want to have your bones reduced to dust and your brain taken out scrambled and put back in by music, then The Red Chord are up for that task with Fed Through the Teeth Machine.

A musical chord formed by a root note, its fifth, and its octave. Among the easiest types of chords to play on the guitar, due to an easily shiftable fingering position, and the power chord's ability to "fit" over both major and minor melodies. Vital to heavy metal and punk music.

The basic major and minor chord shapes, as generally played on an acoustic guitar. They are commonly referred to as the 'Jesus chords' simply because they make up the majority of Christian worship music. Singer/songwriters are also well-known for playing these chords frequently in their music.
A guitarist who is only playing 'Jesus chords' (and not using a capo) will rarely, if ever, move his hand past the 4th fret.
Major chords:
E, F (barre), G, A, C, and D major
Minor chords:
E and A minor, B minor (movable), and barre chords that don't include the 3rd finger (movable)

A common 'chord' used mostly in gutiar based music. It is made by playing the root, 5th and 8th.
For the person who said that parallel 5ths and 8ths shouldn't be even used, I think you'll find this is only relevant to Baroque and Classical music. What about Debussy and his use of 5ths and 8ths? In the right context, it can sound fine.
So please, stop living in the 18th century.
