i'm growing my hair at the moment...and i may grow a beard while i'm away on a 10day hiking holiday this month...hopefully i'll lose some weight as well, walking 125 miles in 10days and climbing a total of 40,000 feet in the Alps...get to go to 3 different countries as well - France, Switzerland and Italy :thumb:

:lol: poor kid...do they hate him or something? They better hope he doesn't run into kids named Leon and Vlad...

I was named after my Uncle Ray. He was my dad's older brother, and he and my dad were always close (close enough for my dad to name his son after him, apparently). So...yeah.

I think specifically they named him after Nicholas II. OR was it III? I'm not up on Russian history.

They just happen to be at the top of my list. Plus I started a HateCrew on this board so I have to...you know...keep them in line. :D

NP: Filthy Little Secret - Cradle of Filth

[Illmatic]

What is a HateCrew, anyway?

[Taste_My_Scythe]

What is a HateCrew, anyway?

It's just all the die-hard Bodom fans putting HateCrew in the user name. John has ~*~HATECREW~*~vice prez on his. He dared challenge me for leadership. It's just pretty much the majority of the people that spend a lot of time on the COBHC thread.

hmmm... I used to have COBHC before it was cool to do that. :p

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Please do, Chris. And if they're at some ungodly bitrate, like 320, could you YSI em seperately? It would be a little on the gargantuan side for me to download. :upset:

[Josh]

well, i just got audioscrobbler...what'll be on it will be quite random, seeing as i just let media player cycle up anything it wants from about 1000 songs i have on my computer, although most of the time it puts the same bands up. oh, and my sister uses this computer as well, so there's some of her crappy pop music on which cycles up every now and again. i suppose i'd better make sure i turn the plugin off so her music doesn't come up on my lists.

[Illmatic]

Oh wow. That really is not good.

Considering Finland has never fought in a war and probably never will (to the best of my knowledge there are no Finnish soldiers in Iraq), it's not all that bad.

I don't get where "HateCrew" comes from, though.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

:p Haha. Well, you have a Bodom avatar; a Hatebreeder avatar, so you can join anytime you feel like being cool.


I don't get where "HateCrew" comes from, though.

It's from Hate Crew Deathroll and is the name of the guys' gang kind of. Like their group; Alexi, Janne, Jaska, Henkka and Roope are the HateCrew. I always say that my best friend and I are the HateCrew from our area, and so I made one up on the board for the Bodom fans.



Alrighty guys, I'm off. I need to go, but I will try to get back on sometime in the future to do my cover of Fade to Black for the July cover comp!! :thumb: Don't miss me too much. :p

Just think of it as a lame name for a fan group of the band, since the band plays off the gimmick of "hate" in their music, is where they got the hate crew thing from...

I decided to start up a series because I am the only one of the current group of people that will consistently do profiles on Classic rock artists. It seemed important that I represent that part of R&M while most others were focused on some part of metal.

Maybe I could do a thread on Boy Hits Car. Now that band kicks some serious ***, but they only have one album out.

I believe they have a second now. It's self-released though, so it's only available from their website, I think. If this was a couple of years ago, I'd be really excited for it. As it is, I'll probably order it at some point, but without any real sense of anticipation.

Bought myself some CDs on the way home today;

Cocteau Twins - Victorialand
Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow
Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers

Damn sales.

NP Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow (the album)

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Bart- Really? I've been on their website and the only thing that they have on there is their S/T.

I'm checking now...


EDIT: Apparently, there is a new album in the works. Sound clips here (http://www.boyhitscar.net/bhcmusic.html)

I haven't actually been to the site to confirm it; I just read something about it on Miocene's forums. Let me know if it is actually there.

[Arucard]

Wow, i had fun at a party tonight. I didn't get drunk, but i ate good BBQ and got so stoned its unreal. Generally i don't do drugs, but all of the trendy D+G kids persuaded me.

Also, Symphony X : Inferno (Unleash The Fire) could possibly be the best song ever.

[Bartender]

D+G?

Man, those are some seriously nice albums...how much did you get them for? I got the Blackalicious album courtesy of Zappa raving about it, and it's amazing. One of my favourite hip-hop albums out there, and the fact that DJ Shadow's involved just makes it even cooler.

Victorialand, Fear of a Black Planet and 36 Chambers were £4.99 each. Blazing Arrow was a bit more expensive (£8.99), but it was actually the first I picked up (more or less without hesitation, sadly enough), because of Zappa's love for it.

How is DJ Shadow involved with Blazing Arrow? I'm aware of a whole bunch of guest/involved artists, but not him.

[Bartender]

I know he produced it, and I think he might have done something else with it, but I'm not sure. That's a really nice deal you got there, anyway, although I'm guessing you know that.

Yeah it is, thanks :) I've only listened to Blazing Arrow and Victorialand so far, though. For some reason, with two new albums sitting there waiting, I've started listening to our (my sister and I) collection of random downloaded stuff on my old home computer. So far I've been getting a mix of boyhitscar, Brad Paisley, Brand New, Breed 77, Brian Setzer and his Orchestra, Bright Eyes and that guitarified cover of Toxic. Hurrah.


This thread is closing in on The Death Heads thread.

Yeah, well the death heads thread has always been a slower thread (until recently, anyway). Besides which, this thread has a predecessor with 60,000 posts already.

I finally got around to listening to some Alter Bridge. Good stuff, but I have one minor complaint.

Specifically, I think Mark Tremonti got a little over-zealous. He's got a new band (kind of), he's got much more creative control, he's now more involved in the songwriting process. That's all great and everything, but some of his guitar solos needlessly turned to shred and turned masturbatory until he slowed down again.

I think in the thrill of getting to open up his talent and skill, he lost perspective a little.

[lunch998]

I was somewhat joking, I just didn't know how to work my way into the conversation following the discussion of someone who had to get to the hospital because of his junx.

[Thor]

oooooh! Always! Which ones?
I was watching them play some live songs in Japan. They played Needled 24/7, Silent Night Bodom Night, Lil Bloodred Riding Hood, and Hatecrew Deathroll. It was a pretty good performance, but the crowd was kind of boring.

That was a little too deep for me.

[Permanent Solution]

Whoa, what exactly does that mean?
It means that in my mind you don't love someone without hating them a little bit too. Like perfect love isn't what you see in movies where everything matches perfectly and nothing ever goes wrong. Real love has little veins of hate mixed in and sometimes people who love each other do malicious things to each other, but it's real love if that happens and doesn't deter it.

Basically perfection is based on imperfection existing.

It was just basically to your comment that she loves you too much to hurt you...assuming that is a bad assumption.

No no, because if she never hurt you, you'd never know if you loved her, it'd just be an assumption. Getting hurt is a good learning tool. Kinda...good in a bad way I guess.

Spain.

Right, except it's also the only way (imo). I guess it just depends whether you value knowledge or guaranteed happiness more. Of course the upside is if you do actually love her, you're happier passing that final hurdle together.

Not exactly, though it's a high probability. I just think you can't know for certain without passing that sort of "test" if you will. It's possible you might never hurt one another and still be in love, you just wouldn't be able to know for sure I don't think. I think in most cases though it will happen at one point or another, and it will strengthen your bond or break it, in which case it was never real love anyways.

Yeah, "Sixpunder" is pretty fun to play. Generally any Bodom song is fun to play.

Ha, you spelled "Sixpounder" wrong. What a douche.


I love the fact i'm vocalist for the bodom thread cover, what am I doing again?
taste of my scythe is it?

I feel a little left in the dust with all the cover bands. ( :p BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY, DAMMIT, ICB!) Maybe I'll revive my Trivium thread and get a couple of ICB-ites together and do a cover of "A Gunshot to The Head of Trepidation" or "Rain" or something.

After listening to this album non stop for a day now, I realize how awesome Lamb of God's As The Palaces Burn is.

Hey there. Yeah, I love playing it. I love playing the parts of Chokehold that I know too. And Bed of Razors, of course.

Yeah, Bed of Razors is quite teh secks. Wrath Within is my favorite Bodom song to play though. Because I could play it all the way through, solos and all :p . Sweep picking helps score with the laidies.

Now, picture that for a second.

I'm named after Czar Alexander and my brother after Czar Nicholas.

I was named randomly. I'm thinking of just dropping my last name, for the hell of it. Not because I hate my last name or anything, but having one name owns. Like Prince. Or Cher. Or Elvis. Or...man, I can't think of anyone awesome with only one name...but it would be cool to screw around with the people at the DMV.

Clerkbitch: "First Name?"
Me: "Trevor."
Clerkbitch:"Last Name?"
Me: "Don't have one, cracka."

"A Quick Stop at the ATM", perhaps?

...I think everyone is gonna run out of bands to do at the rate people are making threads...FA's were one thing, this is completeley another...

Not complaining, but soon people will be doing threads on everyone, it's good to be introduced to new bands...I really enjoyed Bartenders patton thread and a couple of others but soon i think there will be too many.

Bah, I scoff at that statement. Let everybody run out of bands. I'd rather have a crapload of great threads than a handful of shitty threads flooding R&M.

On a more serious note about deportation and such- Does it piss anyone else off when the immigration agency goes on a Wal Mart raid looking for illegal immigrants instead of going to a trailer park and deporting the aliens that are sitting on their asses doing nothing rather than the ones that are actaully making a living for themselves? I mean, sure they broke a law, but they did it to better their lives, and to support their families. Something they may not have been able to do in their home country.

I've come to notice that too. The ironic part is that the original Americans are generally the worst. I'm not trying to hate on Native's or anything, but from what I've expirienced, they just like to sit on their reservation land and smoke peyote all day. I know I'm generalizing a bit, but this is just what I've come to notice. Then you have white people that think they are entitled to everything.

One of my 'immigrant' friends who really stands out in my eyes is a girl who graduated this past year. She is going to Stanford next year on a full ride scholarship. She is so freaking smart, yet she also had a hand in about 1 out of every 2 school clubs. She also played tennis, which is a full-time after school commitment. She was one of the most dedicated people I've known. Granted, she didn't have much of a social life or a tennis game, but she was still an extremely nice person, and a perfect example of what you're talking about Vince. I'll miss her a lot when she's at Stanford..

Yeah, but before I moved back here, it was tough being a white guy. I lived in Southern California like 100 miles from the border. Lots of Mexicans. I'm not saying anything bad about them because a lot of my friends were Mexican-American, and they were cool people. Don't matter what the upbringing is to me, as long as they're cool to me, I'm cool to them, and that's how it usually is with people in general with me, anyway... I almost thought I was Mexican for a while :lol:. I've been used to being (often) the only white guy in my classes.

It's kind of an autobiography about this black boy(go figure) who was born down south and was subject to oodles of prejudice, but he eventually made it to Chicago in his late teens and ended up living a succsesful life. I reccomend it to anyone looking for a sad story, though. As far as required literature for my past english class, it was top notch.

Dude, you never cease to amaze. I wish I could play guitar like that. The whole song had a rather quixotic atmosphere to it. The synth layers really helped to create the proper ambience, and the guitar tone was great.

The song had a distinctive power metal flavor to it, and I really liked sharp-edged riffs in particular. Well-done.

Any thoughts on the mix?

Steerpike: not yet. I think I need to buy a book of his stuff. I haven't ever read those stories.

BTW, my goal for the song was a more radio-friendly power metal style except suited to modern rock vocals (the good kind) and with a tinge of prog.

[Steerpike]

I thought the drums were good. The crashing symbols meant they didn't need to be too high in the mix, though the bass could have used a little boost.

[Illmatic]

Steerpike: So, is "quixotic" your word of the day or something? :p

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Cain, you badass, how long have you been playing guitar? I'm jealous of your composing abilities. :D The song is incredibly catchy, and the playing is flawless. I'd actaully turn to drums down maybe .5 to 1.5 dbs, if anything. I'm diggin it though, either way.

You should be able to find a compilation at Barnes & Noble. The one by my house never has fewer than five different ones, at least two of which will have the story in question. They mostly come in anthologies, or smaller pocket books.

Anyway, if you want to contact me at any time, I can give you my gmail address, since I'm a little hard to reach by IM, and that would make communication a little smoother.

I, on the other hand, am feeling rather empty and restless.

I haven't been following the thread very closely tonight. Can you give me a quick recap?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

It just hit me how funny it is that we're sort of bashing America, talking about stereotypes and immigrants and such, but tomorrow is Independence Day. :p

Anyone doing anything special. I'm bbqing at my Aunt and Uncle's house. I predict lameness.

[Illmatic]

I haven't been following the thread very closely tonight. Can you give me a quick recap?

Well, I'm feeling empty because my gf is all the way in Spain.

I'm restless because...well, I'm not sure. I just feel like I have to go out and do something, but I'm not sure what.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

(Off whatever topic you guys are on)
Since the Kyuss thread won't get any replies, does anyone elses 'Green Machine' cut off at 3.38? Because it finishes like mid-chorus on mine, but that's the only length I can find on Soulseek which is very dependable. Any Kyuss fans answer, thanks.
Yeah, my version is also 3:38. I've noticed this with more than one stoner band though. Their songs start and end in very unpredictable places. Isis comes to mind here, as well.

The first part I can't really sympathize because I'm single and have been for over 7 years.

As for the restlessness, I get that feeling sometimes. My usual solution is to think of something I've always wanted to try but have been putting off. This week, I started studying sleight of hand and cooking.

I don't know if it will work for you, but it's worth a shot, I guess.

[AIC/EAZY-E]

It's just that Green Machine was a single? With like a video. It couldn't have possibly finished like that; maybe it fades out? I'll download a live version, anyway thanks man.
Jake pwns, being my name too.

I can empathize with you there, though, man. I've been without a girl for 2 months, but it feels like forever. :-/

That's an interesting method. I'll try it then next time R&M gets boring. :p Usually, I just pick up my guitar and play a few solos, but sometimes I get sick of that, so instead of doing something constructive, I eat.

AIC Jake- Right you are. :cool: I think it cuts out because Welcome to Sky Valley is one song, or a series of tracks that are constructed of several tracks, so that would explain the sudden clip like that. I'm pretty sure the album is like that, but I'm not positive. This would explain that though.

You should be able to find a compilation at Barnes & Noble. The one by my house never has fewer than five different ones, at least two of which will have the story in question. They mostly come in anthologies, or smaller pocket books.

Anyway, if you want to contact me at any time, I can give you my gmail address, since I'm a little hard to reach by IM, and that would make communication a little smoother.

Sounds fine. :)

[Cain]

Cain, you badass, how long have you been playing guitar? I'm jealous of your composing abilities. :D The song is incredibly catchy, and the playing is flawless. I'd actaully turn to drums down maybe .5 to 1.5 dbs, if anything. I'm diggin it though, either way.


Oh, and I just got to the solo now. What can I say? Jeeze man, I hate you! :lol:

:D Thanks dude.

4 1/2 years, three hours a day, every day.

[Illmatic]

I have to say Cain, that was a pretty good song.

/not as good a songwriter

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Three hours a day..:-/ Dedication is really all it takes. It's a concept that has been growing on me for a couple of months. I can definitely feel my self progressing, but I doubt I'll be that good in 3 and a half years. :p How long have you been composing stuff for? I've sort of been dabbling in it, but nothing serious. Just little guitar riffs and one or two minute songs.

[Steerpike]

Sounds fine. :)

atomsho@gmail.com

Drop me a line whenever.

:D Thanks dude.

4 1/2 years, three hours a day, every day.

Small wonder I still suck. I've only been at it for 2 1/2 years with maybe an hour and a half practice at best every day, and usually missing a couple days in the week.

[Shred Danson]

Trying to download it, but it's being slow to me :(

Cain, your practicing routine ain't too far off from mine. I play about 5-8 hours each day for the fast 5 years (6 in December).

Man, time flies.

[Cain]

I have to say Cain, that was a pretty good song.

/not as good a songwriter

Really? I'm surprised you think so, I wouldn't have thought it was your cup of tea.

BTW, I haven't forgotten about you wanting "All Along the Watchtower," but I'm planning on including the track in an FA of Michael Hedges in the near future, so you could just get it then. Sorry I was a bum about that.

[Illmatic]

Yeah, I'm not sure I have that kind of dedication...I practiced a lot more when I started out. Nowadays when I do play, I play for a long time, but not on a consistent day-to-day basis.

EDIT: It's okay, Cain and yeah, I'm surprised I enjoyed it, too :lol: I guess the vocals/lyrics are my least favorite parts of metal songs

/shrugs

I've been writing songs since six months. Learning theory really helped a lot. Plus, if it doesn't sound too arrogant, I just think I have something of a natural aptitude for writing the music I want to be able to write. You can practice all you want and you won't be able to write a good song, after all. Technical skill and musical knowledge just brings out the kind of songwriter you are: good, or bad.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

What kind of stuff do you usually play, Ray? Lately, I've been learning Dirge for November by Opeth, and Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. I started CN yesterday in honor of Pink Floyd's reunion on Live 8. :p

[Illmatic]

All I seriously play and write is the blues, and I think I'm good at it. Even if it is probably easier to write than metal.

NP: Bob Dylan - Mr. Tambourine Man

EDIT: Answered your question, Jake :lol: But I always mix a little bit of rock and folk in...I don't only play blues

(Okay, maybe not jazz)

[Cain]

Blues is a lot of fun. I just wish I was better at it. I always have a tendency to really try and let it rip like the best blues guys do, but I'm not as in touch with the grit that they put into it. I'm a much more refined player, and my brand of badassedness comes from good execution of complex lines rather than low-down guitar slinging. And I tell you, there are many days where I wish it was the other way around.

You definately do have talent. Hope you'll remember all of us when you get your recording contract. ;)

I'm trying to learn theory, but god damn it takes forever to sink in with me. I'm not wired to think in terms of logic and rules. The way my mind works can basically be boiled down to, "Okay here's this thing... I wonder if I can do this with it..."

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I think the easiest stuff to write is what you listen to most of the time. It's just what comes naturally, I guess. :shrug:

Well guys, I'm off for the night. :wave:

Unfortunately, I won't be in late at night tomorrow myself. I have work again.

Hot damn, Cain envies my guitar playing! :)

Of course, I have bluesman in my blood, so I guess it comes naturally to me.

EDIT: Peace, Jake

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I think that tomorrow is going to be my first ***OFFICIAL*** day off this summer. :-/ It's been a long time coming, though. Farmwork is so monotonous. It feels like I've already been working for a year, but it's really only been about 3 weeks.

[Cain]

Really? Because that's how theory clicked with me. I'd learn a scale, or a rule about how to make a chord from a scale, or a way to do something, and it would lead me to explore. "What does this note sound like over this note?" "What does this chord become when superimposed on this unrelated bass note?"

Theory to me isn't rules, it's opportunities for neat-sounding things in my compositions. The second chord in my calm verse is a perfect example. I knew that the Em-C change was good and dark, but then I though about Em9 and what a fantastic chord that was. Then I was like, what if I played that chord except with a C note? And I got that awesome Cmaj9#11 thing in the verse. I think looking at every rule like an exporation thing is the only way I've managed to stay in touch with my composing brain as opposed to my soloing brain growing like a tumor.

[Riva]

Haha... Spotted at Hyde Park for Live8: "Pink Floyd Reunited? Pigs have flown!".

:D :D I saw them play together live!!!!!!! :eek: *Smileys pale when compared to my face*

[GaggingOrder]

I'm really slow at writing songs. I'm just finishing up a song I started over a year ago. I'm writing alone though, and that slows things down. I wish I had a band. :upset:

[Cain]

EDIT: Peace, Jake

I just really wish I could jam. I don't think I can. I can solo until my *** falls asleep, but I don't really think I'd be a good jammer, mostly because I'm too **** melodic. I can't utilize all those kick-*** dirty notes in blues and jazzy rock like the Allman Brothers in musical ways. It just sounds like a big fart when I go on a chromatic run or riff. It's depressing. I'm a composer and a soloist, but I suck at improvising cool stuff off the cuff in a musical situation.

The basic problem is that no one has ever presented theory to me in a practical manner. It's always in a stale textbook fashion that instantly puts me to sleep. I don't learn anything because they don't tell me what it does or how to use it.

For Christ's sake, I still don't even know how to use modes properly, because no one ever explained them to me in a practical manner. They always just said, "This mode is called this and sounds like this."

[Illmatic]

Riv: You did? They played in Australia? I thought you couldn't afford a trip to London?

/confused

Steerpike: I feel the same way about Music Theory. Right now all the composing I do is sheer impulse.

Yes, something I can do with a guitar that Lucas cannot!

I know what you mean. It's really frustrating because my own compositions are turning out less and less satisfactory and I don't even know where to start or how to approach it.

I'm trying to write a little classic metal ditty called Black Magic Fever, but I can't seem to translate the music I hear in my head.

[ATM]

I'm more of a blues-rock guy. My playing style is pretty gritty, like Iommi.

[GaggingOrder]

I'm working on a thrash metal piece right now. I don't play guitar too much though.


Chris, seriously, what is Doug Munro?

The Guitar Grimoire series of books is the answer to all your theory woes. As for practical application, guitar magazines that tend to focus on soloing and musically complex compositions (I'm thinking of UK's Guitar Techniques here) can help you figure out what the situations are.

Speaking of which I was wishing I had a camera for your little contest, Steerpike. I was playing Gary Moore's "The Loner," and for the big extended solo at the end the wah was on, my eyes were shut tight, and my mouth was wide open and pointing towards the ceiling. Leah would have had a fit I think.

[Riva]

Nah, I saw them for the 4 minutes my TV station played them... so I downloaded a more or less "official" bootleg of the AOLmusic stream, and watched the entire set. It's official, Channel 9, or "WIN TV" as it is sometimes known, is retarded.

[Illmatic]

Ohhhhh...I saw the whole set, and on VH1 no less :eek:

I'll stick those on my Amazon.com wishlist. Magazines aren't really practical now because in order to buy them or subscribe to them, I would regularly have to spend money.

Surely you can find someone with equipment. I mean, you live in New York state, right? You can't swing a dead cat there without hitting someone who can get you video equipment.

Personally, I'm beginning to think my own entry will just be a vocal number provided I get the equipment in time. My guitar playing is just... ugh... so bad. I actually have a nice little theatrical thing going when I sing Astronomy by Blue Oyster Cult or The Price You Pay by Savatage.

No, no, I'm only there when I'm at school. When I'm home it's in North Canton, Connecticut. :p
