Nah, it's a guitar :lol:

I played Naruto Narutimate Hero 2 for about 15 mins. it's was really awesome, but it was in Japanese :(

[G_Mac07]

I see now, the reflection on the fret board made it look like a home made bottle bong to me, and what I could see of the body looked like a logo on the shirt. :lol: :lol:

Yeah, Naruto and all it's side things such as video games and such are still not lisenced anywhere but Japan. So every thing is staying in Japan for now, which is good, because it means the show and manga will stay good.

Hello all.

I like some anime, but I haven't seen Naruto. I haven't seen much of what seems to be considered the popular stuff, actually. My experiences runs more towards shows like 3 by Three Eyes, Bobobo, I My Me Strawberry Eggs, etc.

[munky_magik]

I don't have anything against Anime, just never spared the time to get into it.
I've seen stuff like Violence Jack, Cowboy Bebop and Akira(of course) but I think they're more manga, though I don't the differences.

please don't hurt me

Only that album, which isn't very good. The death/grind stuff is much better.

[Bartender]

Early Carcass (Reek of Putrefaction, Symphonies of Sickness) is grind, then they did some death metal (Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious), and then melodic death metal (Heartwork, maybe Swansong, I've not heard it). Excellent band on all counts I've heard so far. Don't listen to Dargon :)

Do you people never get tired of rep parties, by the way? Catching up on what I missed in this thread last night earlier today involved reading through three whole pages of almost literally nothing but "I repped you", "I repped you too", "I would rep you but I've got to spread it around", "I missed a rep party", "oh here's some rep anyway", etc, etc. It might be off-topic but it's pretty pointless too.

You mean better than abusing the system? No such thing.

[Bartender]

I'm not a particular fan of the rep system (except that it allows for a kind of PM system), so abusing it is fine. Just posting for 60+ posts about it is annoying.

Have you checked out Arghoslent, by the way, in your melodic death exploration?

Someone was telling me about a death/thrash band that released an album consisting of only one song that was over 30 min. long, does that sound familiar to anyone? I forgot the name.

My view: Technicality can be interesting, but the music shouldn't ride on it. I have better options for finding good riffs than sitting through 20 minutes of men acting like robots.

And from this follows that Meshuggah pisses me off.

They don't, but since there is such high emotion, you can just feel the musical vibes.

I like both. Sometimes I want to hear amazing technicality, sometimes I just want to hear something with feeling. Both are equally good, but if a band can have both simultaneously (ie. Tool) that is even better.

[i am the robots]

Lost interest in I? That song rocks, especially the riff that comes in around the 10:30 minute mark.

The whole song is amazing IMO, think about the beginning, it's so much more complex than it sounds cause of the distortion, and people are so dumb that they say that the distortion is hiding how bad they are. I thought that it was all simple riffage at first... until I listened to it with headphones, and then I could pick out the actual structure, and it's pretty impressive.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you are actually in bands/are musicians? I dunno, I've always wondered that. I've also always wanted to swap band stories with people other then the kids that played a Blink 182 cover at their cousin's birthday party. I guess I'll start with my story.

I'm the lead singer of a blues rock band called Cipher Hour (thus my user name). We're a four-piece band. "The Hour Of None..." is gonna be the name of our first album should we ever get that far. We formed last summer and have been working on writing and recording stuff for a demo since late October (before that we were just playing covers at small gigs).

Funny enough, we didn't start out as a blues rock/hard rock-ish kinda band that we are now. We used to be an all out classic and power metal band. The other guys in the band wanted to do metal because they thought that heavier music was becoming more and more popular and wanted to ride that wave rather then take the risk of playing whatever we felt like. I managed to convince them that our songs would be 10x better if we just wrote whatever came naturally and forgot about trying to make it or what's popular and all that bs.

So that's how we got to where we are now, a sort of blues based hard rock band. Since we started just writing from the gut, its actually been easier (some of the more extreme stuff we did was way too forced). Unfortunately the guys still have the same work ethic they had when we began (which is basically at the pace of snails). But I am pretty excited because the stuff we've been writing since December I'm pretty happy with. I should have a rough recording to show you guys soon too.

Now and again the guys worry about us not making it because our sound is "too old" to ever be popular again. I think that's kinda bollocks. I mean yeah it'd be awesome to make it big even with our sound (which is pretty far from mainstream) but I'd rather not make it and write what I wanna then make it big doing stuff I don't really like.

Anyway, now I'm rambling about nothing. So, what about you fellow musicians?

[jpj]

It's good to see a young blues/hard rock band, seeing as that is my favorite genre. I, however am bandless :(

[Arucard]

Im in a Classic Rock/Metal band.

It's good to see a young blues/hard rock band, seeing as that is my favorite genre. I, however am bandless :(

Do you play an instrument? I'd always be willing to replace one of my lazy band members... :lol:

[munky_magik]

I am also bandless. Only because there is an extreme lack of good singers + drummers + bassists around here. The people who are good enough are already commited :(

I used to play bass in a crappy local punk band when I was 14. I wanted to sing too (cause the lead singer of that band sucked ***), but they wouldn't let me.

Well what you should've done was:
Stolen 15 biological weapons from a military base. Set up a base on Alcatraz using a crack team of US troops. Demand that they let you sing or else you reign bilogical terror on San Fransisco. It never Fails :)

Heh, it wouldn't have mattered much anyway. They were all dicks. In fact they started to want to get rid of me after I complained about them forcing me to strum the e-string like a retard. It was one of those Sid Vicious kinda deals. I found out I was kicked out of the band by reading an ad in the paper, kinda harsh since despite them being dicks they were my old friends.

[munky_magik]

I dunno the writers of The Rock might sue.

The great thing about having 15 biological weapons at your command is that not many people challenege to about anything. If they do, threaten to reign biological terror on them.
It's a tried and tested method :)

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Hello!

I play guitar and I've been trying to start a band. We have a singer/guitarist, guitarist, and bassist. We found an awesome drummer, but unfortunately, he has a crush on me and is without a drumset. I'm the only one in the "band" that really knows anything about playing (all the others learned everything they know on guitar from me). The worst part is that I'm not very good yet...I've been playing about thirteen months or so.

At first, they all wanted to make emo-type of music because that's pretty popular around here, so I realized I had to do something before I had to kill myself. And I am proud to say that I successfully turned on three people to classic rock/blues rock/hard rock.:)

[jpj]

What kind of bass do you play?
My first bass was a Hamer, which is now de-fretted, but it's still pretty shitty. And my good bass is a Jay Turser Viola bass. They're not a very well known company, but they have very good quality for the price. I personally love it because it's very easy to play, sounds beautiful, and is light-weight.

[-Obscurity-]

Just out of curiosity, how many of you are actually in bands/are musicians?

I am also in a band, called Obscurity, like my username as well. We are somewhere in the area of haevy prog rock (?) I would guess. We play only originals and have 20 songs as of now. There is not a huge scene for original music in my area, but the shows are awesome when they happen. :cool:

Ah man, that's the worst (both the fact that he has a crush on you and that he is without a drumset). I remember when I was in this sort of weird alternative band, and the lead singer brought in a female guitarist (just cause he had a crush on her, not for her playing which wasn't that great). It was so weird to be in that kind of environment, and then she asked the lead singer if her friend (also a girl) could be in the band. I got kicked out and replaced by a female bassist...she couldn't write anything if you put a gun to her head either. :upset:

I know how that is. The scene in my area is mostly Nickelback rock, pop-punk, or indie rock. I'm sure if we didn't throw in a few covers we'd never get gigs.

I'm in an Alternativ Funk band called "The Fat Deposits". Were a lot like Primus, just a bit more heavy and varied.

Yeah it's tough, that Nickelback rock has infected everything. I used to be in a cover band, we had about 50+ songs and constant gigs. I just got tired of it after a while. I love playing originals, though.

[Silenius]

I have an Ibanez sr500 (bass) and a used Epiphone Special II (guitar).

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

We haven't come up with a name for our band yet. I'm the only one who's even thought about writing songs yet, but that's alright. I would like to get some experience playing on stage at a local hangout or something, but I'd have to go with another band (because I don't think this band is going to be ready to perform anything for quite a while). Our first song to play together will probably be Runnin' Down a Dream-Tom Petty or Highway To Hell.

[Cipher Hour]

I'm not in a band right now, but I am a musician.

Heh, I wish it was as easy to find musicians in my area as it is to find people here. For about 3 months my band searched for a decent rhythm guitarist who was into the music we were playing and couldn't find anybody.

[VeedBok]

im in a band with Animosity_62 called VeedBok
i play guitar

[Silenius]

I have a band but we can't play live since I do guitar and bass and vocals. The only other member is my friend who plays drums.

[Cipher Hour]

I'm the only one who's even thought about writing songs yet, but that's alright.

Oh man, I totally know where you're coming from. It's always an uphill battle trying to get the guys in my band to write anything. I have to organize everything, I have to write more then 2/3 of everything, I have to constantly kick their asses and motivate them, and I'm the only one that ever has any ideas or visions of how things should sound/go. I also write all the lyrics, and set up most of the gigs. It's tough being the only one who's passionate about the music.

[Silenius]

I have to write everything too, even drum parts sometimes, I actually prefer it.

In my Funk band, the only thing we right is Lyrics, as right now it's just me and a bass player.

Pretty much all of our work is made by us improvising, and when we come up with somethin good we use it

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

It's really tough to find other musicians around here, seeing as this town is tiny. My entire high school has about 250 students. I also suspect that our bassist is a poser (she was talking about Dimebag's death and she kept calling him Diamondbag, now I don't know much about him, but I'm pretty sure he was either called Dimebag Darrell or Diamond Darrell, plus there have been other times when she makes me wonder).

[Eitri Is Berserk]

Heh, the band I was in before Cipher Hour tried to use that method. I'd write lyrics and a melody and I'd sing it for them, and they'd just give me a blank stare because they had no idea how to write anything to accompany it.

[^Dream~Theater^]

Back in the good ol glam days.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

But was he ever called Diamondbag? Also, she said she is a huge fan of Pink Floyd, but when I played Money when she was here, she asked who the song was by.

Anyways, what kind of places do you people in bands perform at?

Yeh, it's a hard method to use,for us, I'll just start playin a solid groove, and my bass player will fill it in by playin a sweet slap line, or just a smooth bass line. And it works great.

[CaptainWaits]

But was he ever called Diamondbag?

No, Just Diamond then Dimebag

Anyways, what kind of places do you people in bands perform at?

Locally, we play in this place called "The Station", which is mainly used as an arts performance center. We have about a gig a month there, maybe every second month. And we alos play sometimes at our school in some organized concerts and such.

That's what I thought (about Dimebag).

If anyone ever goes on the road and comes to northwestern Indiana, play at Java Jim's in Valparaiso. That's where I'm planning to play when we actually learn some songs.

[Cipher Hour]

Community centers, out-of-the-way-bars-that-are-legally-restaurants, a talent show here and there, a local battle of bands held last year, basically anywhere people will have us. Beggars can't be choosers. Even if you have to open up for a band who plays really bad music.
