Yea this thread gets Fukked a lot...but I don't think of it as a thread...I think of it as a COB comunity...

Anyway Where can I "Buy" this AYDY licks video? is it in one of those magazines?

the internetz. I need to look on dl networks later.

Guys, this thread is still bound by the rules that govern R&M. If you can't talk about the band in a sensible manner, then just take it to an AIM chat room or something.

Where did your power metal fanboy avatar go???

[metalhead_matt]

Metalhead matt

Just show him up with his own guitar

i like that idea

[PsychoticFlubber]

Dun nun nun nuh....
Yeah... I have been practicing Angels Don't Kill a bit lately. Although, some of the tabs seem way off at certain parts. Especially what's on "MySongBook.com"... anyone know where to get somewhat correct tabs for it? I made the mistake of not watching Alexi play it live when I saw him.

[repcak]

i have the same problem with "Red light in my pt.2"; i just can't find correct tabs... :(

[MRDuCran]

Just work it out yourself.

[repcak]

i'm suck too much on guitar, to be able to figure it out myself.... :(

[MRDuCran]

OK which parts are you two having trouble with?

[repcak]

i never tried it, so i can't answer your question... but i wanna like to play the whole intro (the mozart part)

[PsychoticFlubber]

Me too... I can usually deal with wrong parts that sound right... but ever since I have seen "Rock 'n Roll Licks" video for some odd reason I need correct tabs... I am weird. Even if I do figure stuff out myself I usually need to see Alexi do it too for me to know I am right... I have even had a dream where I begged him to teach me all of the other songs off of HCDR hahaha.

[MRDuCran]

You've never tried it but you're saying you can't find an accurate tab...:confused:

Well I have a live video of Angel's Don't Kill so I can check positions if I want.

[PsychoticFlubber]

You've never tried it but you're saying you can't find an accurate tab...:confused:

No no no, I have tried. Actually, some of what I know of it are from myself, and just that small short lick he does in Reap 'n Roll licks. I just wish he made a new video showing the entire thing because the keyboards are so powerful in the song that it can be hard to tell what's right and what's wrong...

[MRDuCran]

That first line wasn't directly at you btw, thats why you may be confused or whatever. Repcak said he hadn't tried RLimE pt.2 before so I was wondering how does he know that the tabs are wrong.

So what bit are you stuck on?

[PsychoticFlubber]

That first line wasn't directly at you btw, thats why you may be confused or whatever. Repcak said he hadn't tried RLimE pt.2 before so I was wondering how does he know that the tabs are wrong.

So what bit are you stuck on?

Oh haha. I am stuck on... well... everything after the main intro keyboard parts... where everything starts to slow down a bit, and the two guitars are playing the same line somewhat slowly... uh... I think it's only about 5 notes. Sorry this isn't too helpful, my sound is dead on my computer so I can't check...

LoL

I've learned most of Hate me...I'm having a fun time learning guitar right now

[MRDuCran]

Yer Hate Me rules, I'm gna try and record some of that tomorrow but I record in a really weird way so multi layering is hard and time consuming.

I'll also try Downfall and Living Dead Beat.

How do you record?

I want to learn Living Deadbeat

[Shadows]

Time for me to learn...something. :p Night's Blood has more riffs to it then I thought and I'll really need to take time and tab it out if I'm going to learn it.

[MRDuCran]

I think it's only about 5 notes. Sorry this isn't too helpful, my sound is dead on my computer so I can't check...

I know what bit you mean. The tabs I've seen of that part are correct but I think in a different tuning. None of them are in CGCFAD.

How do you record?
OK. Because my pc is slow, it can't run Cool Edit Pro properly without lagging so instead I play over a Guitar Pro file or a backing track and use All Sound Recorder to record everything it hears. After one "track" has been done, I play it back in Windows Media Player and then record over the top again and record that, which means if I fukk up near the end, I have to start again. Pain in the arse I tell you.

Time for me to learn...something. Night's Blood has more riffs to it then I thought and I'll really need to take time and tab it out if I'm going to learn it.
Aren't you supposed to be learning Lil' Bloddred Ridin' Hood?

[Shadows]

Aren't you supposed to be learning Lil' Bloddred Ridin' Hood?
Yep, I gotta finish that too. I got stuck on a little part towards the end but once I get passed it I'm free to learn it whenever.

Gah, so much to learn so little time! :)

[MRDuCran]

It's a pretty difficult song. Mainly the little triplet bit where he's switching alt. pickign with sweep picking. Plus the solo too.

[Shadows]

I was learning rhythm parts only at first.

[MRDuCran]

Sounds like the intelligent thing to do.

[I'm Charming]

I was working on TL&S earlier, I just get hung up on the position shift.

I got bored of A Vulgar Picture.. Partly because it's not the most interesting thing to play and I mess up even slightly and then punched the clock on my wall into 3 pieces.

bad temper + perfectionist= very bad combo

I quit guitar every other day...It's actually kinda funny... :p


I have sixpounder down minus the solo's/pinch harmonics. :thumb:

[gmoneyguy]

Sounds like the intelligent thing to do.
Its easier to pick up the melody when you already know what the chords are.

[repcak]

You've never tried it but you're saying you can't find an accurate tab...:confused:

Well I have a live video of Angel's Don't Kill so I can check positions if I want.

i took the version from mysongbook.com (GP4) and clicked on "play" and realized that it doesn't sound like on the record. the notes are all wrong... it must be in the wrong key.

[Kurrpt]

i FINALLY got back my few CoB CDs. It took about 5 months, but they are on my IPOD and kicking :thumb:

[MRDuCran]

What?

I don't know that song but I might have a look at it later if I remember.

[M7S]

Haven't heard much COB.

Any albums you can recommend?

[MRDuCran]

Most people will tell you Follow the Reaper, which is classed as their classic.
Then Hatebreeder which has alot of neo-classical elements, such as their first album Something Wild. Hate Crew Deathroll is more of a new sound and sounds a bit darker and more angry overall. I doubt anyone would reccoment Are You Dead Yet? for a first album since it's going more mainstream but still rules hard imo.

[Kurrpt]

hey could you upload death toll bro?
s

[MRDuCran]

I reckon you shud buy it, its definately worth it.

[Kurrpt]

i havent purchased any actually :lol:


after i got my collection stolen, i kinda shy away from 18 CD purchases

[MRDuCran]

Help out the almighty muthafukkin' Hate Crew and buy their sh!t.


ALSO GUYS!

Apparantly Alexi is finishing up work on a new Sinergy album and will tour with them after, I might go of they come through London.
I think it's due around May time.

[Kurrpt]

nah, id rather go to their shows. The record label gets like 95% of the money from CD purchases

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

i still have never heard any songs by sinergy,are they any good at all

[Kurrpt]

well, i would think so. If you watch that passage to the reaper video, i think that other guy is in sinergy, or something.


if thats the case, i would bet

[repcak]

the other guy is roope latvalla and he plays in CoB now... but once i saw a video of Sinergy where he was playing too; so i think he is playing in both bands, though his "main" band is still stone.

[MRDuCran]

Mandy, I'll send you some songs later ok.

Passage to the Reaper isn't a Sinergy song or anything though so don't be mistaken. But the fukkin guitar solos on the "Suicide by my Side" are incredible, just 16th note craziness from both guys.

[Kurrpt]

i wasnt saying it WAS


but if you watch the guys playing, you can tell he knows what hes doing

[repcak]

well, alexi once said that roope latvalla was his guitar idol during his teens. alexi was a big stone fan and thats why alexi bought from the other guitarist from stone his old (meanwhile stolen) wildchild-jackson-guitar.

roope latvalla is about 10years older than alexi and knows better than him how to play. his technical better than alexi.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Mandy, I'll send you some songs later ok.


Ok thanks :wave:

[Britton]

Roopa is right there with Alexi...but Alexi is like 10 years younger.

I would recomend AYDY to anyone who likes good music. The only people who seem not to like it are the COB fans...which doesn't make any sense to me.

Thanks for the passage to the reaper tab. It's coming along fast

PS: Mandy is my favorite name in the world

[MRDuCran]

They're not actually CoB fans over on that board btw, they hate them.

At least most of them do.

[Shattered_Future]

Diehard fans are crying sellout, pretty much.

Sinergy is good...chick singer = meh, her vocals are alright, but Marco Hietala is in the band. He makes everything superawesome.

[Shadows]

I dislike Sinergy. They're way too generic for me.

I need insanity in my metal, like the almighty ungodly shredfeasting of Dragonforce. *drools*

[Shattered_Future]

Mmmm...magic Asian.

Goddamn CBGBs sold out of DF tickets the day they went on sale. Bastards.

[Shadows]

Confound it! :mad: I would have been quite upset.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

PS: Mandy is my favorite name in the world


Thanks :)

I dont like Are You Dead Yet i mean its ok but i dont like very many songs on the album,im getting into Hatebreeder tho right now its getting to be my fav. album i think instead of Something Wild

[MRDuCran]

I'm recording Living Dead Beat right now.
Only half of it though.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Sounds cool,good luck

[chaos AD]

I am trying to find some videos online that work of COB

Limewire failed me windows media player failed me and some web sites have failed me
can you gyes recommend a web site that works

[GenuineImitation]

youtube.com and google video have some videos I believe.

[I'm Charming]

What position shift?

After the intro going into the lead riff.

7th fret to 11th.

It's not that far, it's just the speed to play it crisp.


nah, id rather go to their shows. The record label gets like 95% of the money from CD purchases

QFT.

Buying cds doesn't support anyone but the fat fags sitting in their offices counting the money fly by.......

I <3 torrents.

[MRDuCran]

After the intro going into the lead riff.

7th fret to 11th.

It's not that far, it's just the speed to play it crisp.


I don't play that, I play the rhythm underneath so I don't actually know how to play it, I shud try.

[I'm Charming]

I don't play that, I play the rhythm underneath so I don't actually know how to play it, I shud try.

Neither riff is hard at all.

It just gives me alot of trouble.

It's not the shift or riff.

I just have a hard time playing it cleanly going from one riff to the other.

[MRDuCran]

I see. I'll learn it another time. I need to focus on recording the songs I already know.

[Shadows]

Finally, tabbing Night's Blood! :) Expect me to be drinking damnation's wine very very soon.

[I'm Charming]

I see. I'll learn it another time. I need to focus on recording the songs I already know.

It's a great song.

I think I know basically nothing for playing a couple years.

Only whole song I still know is Raining Blood from Slayer.

I've know so many whole songs and parts of songs(that i was going to learn all of it)...then just forgot they existed.

I knew significant parts of every time i die, bodom beach terror and needled 24 7 and in your face. I was "going to learn the whole thing". That lasted quick.

Same with Nemisis and Pull Harder....

Beast and the harlot as well.

I think it's pretty pathetic for playing a couple years...only knowing one whole song...

I learn half a song and then want to learn another. Forget about the one I learned half of and onto the next. Repeat cycle...alot.. I wind up forgotting everything and knowing nothing. :thumb:


\end rant

EDIT:

I could name the whole songs I knew but that would be even more sad.

[Shadows]

I think it's pretty pathetic for playing a couple years...only knowing one whole song...
Don't feel bad. I've been playing for a couple years and I don't know any except for Stairway to Heaven that my teacher taught me in the very beginning.

I'm precisely the same way you are. I tell myself that I'm going to learn a whole song and lose interest after a while. Consequently, I know 1000000 odd riffs and no full songs. It sucks, but I'm trying to change that with Night's Blood. :)

[gmoneyguy]

I could name the whole songs I knew but that would be even more sad.
Most people don't learn alot of Whole songs. I didn't really learn any songs fully until I took lessons, and that because I have to.

[I'm Charming]

Most people don't learn alot of Whole songs. I didn't really learn any songs fully until I took lessons, and that because I have to.

I think that would actually prolly be one big plus if I did take lessons.

I can teach myself almost anything on my own and anything I don't know I can ask my dad who's played for 30 + years.

Lessons would actually "force" me to do something though. I'd actually have too.

I have very low motivation except when I must do well. IE my college classes.

I know how that is! :p

I was inspired to learn LoG's Laid To Rest about an hour ago. Now I'm on the computer.
I was going to look for a Dream Theater tab, thats why I went on the internetz. That hasn't happened either.

I know about 10 000 riffs and two songs. I forgot to mention bloodline... haha that's bonehead simple though so it doesn't count.

[Shadows]

I've been taking lessons for years, but it doesn't help. If anything, it makes learning full songs harder, because now I have to work on theory and exercises for my weekly lessons while working in the stuff I want to do on the side.

Switching topics for a second, what do you guys think of this new avatar?

Tried learning the song? Nope, but it's on my to-do list.

Have you ever given Classical a try? If not you should, it ties into metal very well/

[Toaster]

The Light That Blinds isn't a very fun song to learn or play. A lot of the riffs and leads are performed sloppily on the recording, and it's hard to duplicate that sloppiness.

On the topic of learning songs, if you get into a band and start covering songs it totally motivates you. Not only do you want to learn songs to play with your band, but you want to learn them perfectly to make your band sound better.

[Shadows]

Have you ever given Classical a try? If not you should, it ties into metal very well/
Nope, I never have, although I'd like to. My teacher is a jazz guitarist though, so that's what I play.

Although lately I haven't been able to make as many lessons thanks to my job, and I'm progressing very slowly.

[Tyr]

Does anyone know how the show in Stockholm was? Since it's coming on DVD, I mean. I was unable to go, but then I heard about the live DVD and I felt a little better.

[repcak]

i plan to change it with "lake bodom", but in the last few days i realized that i'm loosing interest :/ though can play the intro, the bridge (to the first/main riff) and the main riff.

[MRDuCran]

How do you play the intro?

[Britton]

I do the same thing with learning songs...I learn 70% of it then I move on.

But I've been really good lately. Sometimes All I want to learn is a couple riffs from the song. As you all know I'm learning the 5th caprice at the moment...and it's taking lots of patiance...But I'm 1/3 of the way through without straining to hard.

I think I know about 20 songs all the way through...but some of them are pretty simple AKA Audio slave type stuff

[repcak]

How do you play the intro?
how? with my four fingers and a pick 1.00mm... or what do you mean?

[Squirrel]

Nope, I never have, although I'd like to. My teacher is a jazz guitarist though, so that's what I play.

Although lately I haven't been able to make as many lessons thanks to my job, and I'm progressing very slowly.

At least choose a good Decapitated album to use as an avatar :p

[Kurrpt]

Burn!!

[PsychoticFlubber]

Hmm... the only song I think I know 100% of is Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana haha. Although, alot of punk-type songs with mostly power chords are easy. I don't know any metal songs that are easy enough... I have barely practiced in 2 or 3 weeks. Everything's been too crazy. I still should learn Angels Don't Kill some more.

[Shadows]

Hey, I combined Organic Hallucinosis and Winds of Creation into one avatar! :mad: :p

I like the new one anyway. The riffs sound great, if only it wasn't for the horendous vocalist. Nothing beats WoC though.

[Shattered_Future]

I should listen to those eventually...:p

My teacher is a show tunes guitarist, oddly enough. :confused:

He knows a bunch of jazz theory though, along with my dad...plus, having a show tunes guitarist is a good thing when you're playing guitar in the pit for Les Miserables. :p

Black Sabbath - Paranoid is a very easy metal song.
or metallica - am i evil is easy too

edit: most metallica songs aren't that hard
f.e.: metallica - seek and destroy; master of puppets isn't even that hard...

this were all my first metal-songs i've learnt (main riffs... i never learnt a whole song)

[I'm Charming]

I hate metallica with a passion. Their songs are lame and simple to play though.

Sweet Leaf by Black Sabbath is REALLLLLLY easy.

The whole song is like 3 or something riffs. :p

[repcak]

most black sabbath songs are easy (even easier than metallica).

iron man is awesome and even easier than paranoid :D

[MRDuCran]

Repcak, I meant how do you play the intro to Lake Bodom tab wise.

Metallica songs aren't easy, most of them have sections that are trickier than most people think, and so have Bodom.

[repcak]

i have the tab from mysongbook.com for gp4 ... there is a version where you play arpeggios, i play the other version; without arpeggios

-----------------------------------12-17-----
----10-12-13-10--10-12-13--------------
------------------------------------------------
14-----------------------------------------14
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
and repeat

...was it this what you wanted to know?

[MRDuCran]

Yeah.

Btw, saying "there is a version where you play arpeggios, i play the other version; without arpeggios" doesn't actually make sense.

An arpeggio is just playing notes of a chord individually which is what this intro is, mainly Amin with other notes from the Amin scale, so I think you must mean string skipping instead of sweeping.

[Shadows]

Music theory ftw

I started Night's Blood last night and was kicking more *** than I thought I would. Time to tune down and play some Shadows Fall at the same time. :)

[MRDuCran]

Night's Blood is by...?

[Shadows]

DISSECTION

[MRDuCran]

Never heard of em.

[Toaster]

That whole album is pretty meh, in my opinion. Night's Blood is probably the best song.

[Shadows]

Fools!

[Squirrel]

Hey, I combined Organic Hallucinosis and Winds of Creation into one avatar! :mad: :p

I like the new one anyway. The riffs sound great, if only it wasn't for the horendous vocalist. Nothing beats WoC though.

I dunno, i've listened to WoC for years so its wearing thin.

The Negation is my favorite and has been for a bit now.

The new album sucks except for about 2 riffs and 2 leads.

[Shadows]

I like The Negation too, but I find Nihility pretty boring.

[repcak]

Yeah.

ähm... yes... i'm not the best in theory. my mistake... you're right, i meant string skipping instead of sweeping

[I'm Charming]

Ben... What do you tune to? and everyone else here?

I play in Drop D, DADGBE, sometimes standard.

[Silenius]

Ben... What do you tune to? and everyone else here?

I play in Drop D, DADGBE, sometimes standard.
Standard E or down two whole steps to C.

[Shadows]

I'm usually in standard E but I downtune to whatever I feel like playing in. It's always different.

[Huber]

In my guitar class were learning blues improv, so when practicing that I play in standard. Otherwise, if I'm just playing something independantly I almost always play in Drop D.

[MRDuCran]

I practise in standard E and jam in standard D, since I play alot of Bodom.
But I'm trying to practise more, agh dam pc addiction.

[IheartSP]

Damn you Ducran, your now 8 posts ahead of me!

[Joe Metal]

i tell ya what... Alexi Laiho may be good, prolly one of the best shred metal players in this modern era.... but i want to say that COB's synth player (Janne Warman) is awesome. i dont think ive seen a keyboard player go so fast man im tellin ya.... that band has so much talent its not even funny... when you got alexi shreddin` and the keyboard player playing the same thing i would have to say that... wow thas crazy stuff... i would think keys are a lot harder to play at those kinds of speeds

[Toaster]

I usually play in standard tuning. I have a guitar with thick strings that I pretty much tune to whatever I feel like playing, but it feels so wrong to do that on my main guitar, for some reason. I mainly dislike the looser feel and poor intonation that comes with tuning down while using light strings.

[Shattered_Future]

Main guitar = standard.

Backup = usually drop C, occasionally others.

Acoustic = whatever I feel like.

[GenuineImitation]

You cant discount Petrucci, Vai, Satriani and Loomis, but Laiho is one amazing guitarist.

[repcak]

i play in standard, but once i tuned to B-standard and i really liked it... Behemoth plays a lot of songs in B-standard. i should re-tune it once again to B-standard or try C-standard

[Shattered_Future]

B standard is a hilarious tuning...you can pull the strings so far off the fretboard.

Mad fun, though.

[PsychoticFlubber]

B tuning is only fun for me when play Amon Amarth riffs. I usually have my old strat in standard E, while I have another guitar dropped down one step, or dropped down one step in D like CoB's latest stuff. I change frequently though...

[MRDuCran]

Heh, E standard and octave lower than normal is cool, so is F.
Only for Meshuggah of course.

[Toaster]

Heh, I only play pre-Nothing Meshuggah for that reason.

[Shadows]

B standard is a hilarious tuning...you can pull the strings so far off the fretboard.

Mad fun, though.
Try playing with something heavier than .10's woman. :mad: :p

[MRDuCran]

.10's? I use 9's and they aren't that slack, even in F.


Toaster - everything pre-Nothing is in Bb isn't it?

[Shadows]

Holy ****, I couldn't stand playing with that. I use .11's and I'm looking to go heavier. Loose strings are really annoying for me.

[MRDuCran]

I've never really experienced any of the regular problems that most people get with tuning down or getting a guitar with a floating bridge.

Plus, I can't play LoG riffs as easy on .11's, I use very small pick movement to clear the string.

[Toaster]

.10's? I use 9's and they aren't that slack, even in F.


Toaster - everything pre-Nothing is in Bb isn't it?

My .10's are pretty much elastic bands if I tune down to F.

And yeah, but to Meshuggah that was only down a half step.. they used 7 strings at that time. I can't comfortably tune down to their current F, so I stick with the Bb.

[MRDuCran]

Now it's freaking 8 strings!

[Britton]

I'm almost always in standard. If I downtune I just go to Drop D or C
when I'm jamming with Blues I'm playing open G

ya'll should try it sometime

[MRDuCran]

I was thinking about open tunings earlier actually, I doubt i'll do it though.

[Squirrel]

I like The Negation too, but I find Nihility pretty boring.

The tone is pretty poor, but it suits the songs for that album.

Theres some quality tracks on that album, though.

[Shadows]

Time to beat this thread back in line.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Haha. Yeah. :D

Hellooooooo (....nonexistant) HateCrew. :wave:

[repcak]

hehe... welcome back again... or whatever

nice avatar TMS :D

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Thanks much, and thanks much.
Made it all personal so no one can STEAL IT.

[Shadows]

Now just keep spamming the thread like everyone else until you get back to #2 like you used to be.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

What!?! Blasphemy!!! I was number ONE!!!!

:P

[Shadows]

That will be a hard throne to take back considering how much time I waste here.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

haha. I'll be happy with being Second in Command once again... :naughty:

[repcak]

lol... i am number 14 :/ ... but i will reach #13 soon :p

[Taste_My_Scythe]

/clap on the back

Good for you! :D

[repcak]

with this post i change my position to #13

/me is #13 :D

[MRDuCran]

Does it really matter, trying to get to a certain place just encourages spam.

[repcak]

and this is saying someone who is #2 :lol:

[Shadows]

haha. I'll be happy with being Second in Command once again... :naughty:
That's right, I'm sure you'll be very happy underneath me.

Ohoho! Someone's getting overexcited. :lol:
:D

[MRDuCran]

and this is saying someone who is #2 :lol:

Getting to number 1 isn't my intention at all. I enjoy discussing on-topic, Bodom related things, if not then it'll be guitar/music related. I couldn't really care if I was number 24 tbh.

You never stay on topic. :lol:

[repcak]

You never stay on topic. :lol:
:lol:

beside that, how often we had the discussion about spam? it's just a community of CoB fans, and if there in nothing to discuss about CoB we talk about everything... it the same in all the *Official* Threads. you can't discuss a band 24/7 - its impossible

[MRDuCran]

Well maybe sometimes but at least I'm not the one who drags it off.
Shall we get back on topic then...

[Shadows]

Come on, stop acting like you actually care about spam. :lol: This is basically a community thread. We haven't seriously stayed on topic for 400 pages, it's stupid to try to make this Bodom talk-only now.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Oy vay. Most of the time, there are arguments around here instead of "Bodom-talk" anyways.

[MRDuCran]

Alexi is hot.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

**** yes!

[Shadows]

Damn right he is. \m/

So is Janne.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

**** yes!!

[repcak]

lol... we are back on on-topic :D

and alexi is NOT hot... he is hotter than hell

[MRDuCran]

I was thinking that actually, I saw him come on stage and he looked so mean with that huge fukkin beard and long hair, gave me goosebumps. It was right then when I realised I was gonna get my azz kicked by the muthafukkin'' Hate Crew.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Yes!!!
He is soooooooooo much hotter in person. And Janne. And Henkka. Holy **** me. It was wonderful.

[repcak]

stop saying YES all the time....grrrr

[Shadows]

I was disapponted in the lack of energy during their set when I saw them. Everyone was there for Trivium. :(

[Taste_My_Scythe]

stop saying YES all the time....grrrr

YES!!!

But they're just so orgasmically god damned hot!

[MRDuCran]

I was actually talking about Janne, Alexi was the last to come on or second to last.

ALexi looked so mean when he was leaning over and singing, he kept looking at me during In Your Face cause I was like the only one singing it, or screaming it.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Doesn't matter. Don't care. Both are amazingly and unrelentingly gorgeous.
Totally boinkable

[Shadows]

I know, they put all of us average guys to shame. :(

[repcak]

I was disapponted in the lack of energy during their set when I saw them. Everyone was there for Trivium. :(
on my show, the energy of the crowd was amazing... all of them were there only to see CoB :D

YES!!!

Firstly, I'm a ****ing girl. Secondly, you better not call me a bastard again.

I know!! Janne looked at me several times, and so did Alexi. They both smiled at me at least once and Alexi and Roope touched me. \m/ Kiiiiiiick aaaassss.

[repcak]

what the hell... are you all girls, or are you all homosexualls :confused:

Taste My Scythe is a girl, the rest of us are guys that are secure enough to admit when a man is attractive.

TSM is a girl... didn't know it... and lil bloodred ridin hood, too (ex-i am hated)??

I understand, I say that too, you just can't tell on teh innernetz.

I would of stayed to meet Bodom but I had to go to get the last train home.
Next year I will though cause my friend just passed his driving test so he'll be able to take us home. I'm going to go see Sinergy live too.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I DEFINATELY would've stayed. :D :D :D

[MRDuCran]

Then you'd have to sit in the streets or the underground of LONDON! *pukes*

for about 6/8 hours. Nooooo.

[repcak]

why not... london is a beautiful city... i would have stayed too... for Cob i would have done everything

[MRDuCran]

Ugh, I guess you've been to the nicer part of London. The Astoria is in a sh!tty place.

But as I said, there's later this year for Sinergy (hopefully) and next year for Bodom if they tour again, which they better, they're doing another fukkin US one again already, soon.

No, Jack Black is a comic actor/guitarist. :p You're thinking of Jack White.

[repcak]

oh, jack black... the one from the movie "school of rock" and "high fidelity"? hey, i am not that corpulent like he is.... :(

[Shadows]

Yes, that's him. I just meant that you look like him to some degree. Obviously not corpulent. :p

[Shred Danson]

:lol: That's what I thought too

[Britton]

So I'm trying to figure out what happened while I was gone...it looks like you all had some sort of fight that took up two pages of how has the most post. and repcak saw Bodom...I think we should talk about Bodom

How was the show? It looks like you got to meet Alexi.

Hey in guitarworld they have a article about Trivium and they talk about The guys meeting Dimes Gal Which is really cool cause I was standing right there
when she introduced herself to corey

[repcak]

i saw bodom one month ago... 6.1.2006 in vienna and i posted a review some 20pages ago...maybe you can remember: i was the one who invited alexi laiho for a beer :D

[PsychoticFlubber]

Anyone here have any videos of them playing anything by Bodom? I made a really short video (cause my camera sucks and won't go long) of me playing Sixpounder last night. Just curious to see anyone else play Bodom... if anyone does, is there any way I can see?

[Britton]

I'm hoping to start recoding when I get my new amp.

I just started a bussiness that involves transfering VHS to PC to DVD
so when I get my amp I'll be able to record stuff and put it up in no time at all.

But it's prolly gonna be a month or so before that gets off the ground

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

Wow you met Alexi? That must have been cool

I recorded Sixpounder 2 nights ago. Mp3 though, not a video.

Agreed. Don't waste your time with '' Are You Dead Yet? ''. Start with Follow the Reaper, Hatebreeder. Every song on those albums is very very good. and memorable too. No matter what their new fans say, these two albums defined the good old COB sound.
Hatecrew Deathroll was good, but in a way began their journey towards loosing originality.

oh and Something Wild (1st one) is just about as good as Hatebreeder or Follow the Reaper, but its got less songs on it... so i'd get it after.

Originallity? Really?

You want to find me an album or band that sounds like HCDR and AYDY?

I'm waiting.

AYDY grows on you alot over time. Living Dead Beat, AYDY, Bastards Of Bodom and We're not gonna fall are some of Bodom's greats. I count TL&S as off the EP, BTW.

Hate Crew Deathroll has some of their best and worst.

Sixpounder, Chokehold, Bodom Beach Terror, Angels Don't Kill, Triple Corpse Hammerblow all top notch.

Lil Bloodred Ridin Hood and Your Better Off Dead are good but not great.

Needled 24-7 despite the great soloing in it, both keys and guitar. It's over played, over whored, and get's old after a while.

HCDR title track is somewhat boring, except it's great live.

I didn't care to learn the solo's but playing through em...The first was easier by a mile. The second was really hard.

What kind of guitar and amp did you play that on?

I'm working on Dream Theater's "This Dying Soul", hopefully I can have the solo at the beginning down within a week or two...If I get enough time in on it.

Then start on the rest of the song.

Yer that first is way easier.

Guitar is an Rg770 (pink may I add!)
And I'm playing through a KORG Toneworks PX4, plugged directly into the back of my pc.


I'm not actually familiar with that song but I'll give it a listen. It's good to hear that you've started guitar back up again. :thumb:

Yeah I decided to just drop The Black Dahlia Murder song "A Vulgar Picture", not because of difficulty though. Funny though, after quiting the song, I can play the part I couldn't get down perfect, perfectly now. Go Figure.

I learned Sixpounder but skipped the pinch harmonics and solos. I can't do pinch harmonics for ****.
I'll learn the solo backing some time so I know the whole thing.

Your Sixpounder > Mine

By alot.

I still need to try the passage to the reaper tab, that Ben sent out.

EDIT:

That Jackson is sweet. *drools*

[MRDuCran]

I also experience that, where you leave a song you can't play, then go back and you can, it's weird but satisfying.

Yer Sixpounder rules.

Maybe I shud record Passage to the Reaper too, even though I don't know it yet.

Yeah it's pretty wierd.

I'll try passage to the reaper tonight since the tab is really short. If I have an easy time, it won't be much to learn.


What's everyones favorite stupid moment of themself playing?

I have to go with learning Raining Blood from Slayer...When I was first learning guitar and finally being able to play a lil.

I tried to only downpick the fast riff after the beginning walkdown.
That didn't work well. It resulted in sore hand/wrist/arm. Alot of them.
:p

I then learned to down/up-up/down pick.

haha...I can double pick for ages and don't have dead arms hahahaha.

[Negative Creep]

tone kind of makes me mad sometimes.

[PsychoticFlubber]

WOW! That Sixpounder cover is... well... lets simply say a lot better than me... I can play all the parts you did, but in this video I tried to sum some of it up really quick because of the lack of recording time I have. I can sort of play the second solo, but I need to warm up for like 2 hours haha. Anyway, I will put myself to shame by putting this up. This is a corney video of me kinda like an 80's wanna be Alexi...

[PsychoticFlubber]

Haha, yeah. I am a bit corney and lame at times, but I can deffinately get into a mood to play no matter how bad it is. It's like... being guitar-horney hahaha. Wow. Yeah, something like that. I rarely play standing up, but that's the best I can do standing so far... I need to start standing playing more Bodom because I have been weak with standing.

[MRDuCran]

Standing when practising is pretty important to me, especially if you play live, you should be able to play solos the same sitting and standing. Saying that, I don't do it near enough but still, I have my guitar pretty high anyway.

[I'm Charming]

I just took a shot at recording with audacity and nearly threw my wireless mouse out the window....

I could play raining blood just fine before i tried to record...then the momemt i start... i manage to **** it up at every possible point. mostly starting badly and getting worse.

Main reason I kept ****ing up with how distracted I was.

I think really worse though was that I couldn't hear what I was playing.

Not on the amp or audacity.

We all know electric guitars are quiet as hell with no amp. So I'd think I have good timing and then play it back and I'd be like WTF was that.

Quite honestly it was hard to tell...I had trouble hearing many parts...

It sounded good from what I could hear well though.
The pinch harmonics were solid.

[PsychoticFlubber]

Eh, thanks people. Yeah, audio in a digital camera sucks a lot. I am trying to improve on it a bit. It sounds so much better when I am sitting down and focused. I am working on Angels Don't Kill, but that song is so hard for some reason... I can play Sixpounder just fine, but the one song I want to learn most is ADK... I think I just need better backing track for it because Guitar Pro 5 isn't sounding any better... the keyboards sound pretty dumb.

[I'm Charming]

I always play standing up.

Of course a few minutes ago when I tried to record I was sitting and ****ed up a ton.

I actually play much better standing up, prolly because I always play
standing.

Any tips for recording with audacity?

My problem was I couldn't hear what I was playing. Not on the computer nor the amp.

Then I play it back when I stop and I have wrong timing...almost as if it's a different song wrong...bad notes... and w/e because I can't hear what I'm playing. Therefor no way to gauge what I'm doing.

I play fine with the volume on....I of course also played perfect before I tried recording and after I stopped. Go Figure.

I looked for some way to turn the volume on when playing so I could hear what I'm doing. I didn't see a way though.

the sound quality is poor, but your playing pretty good... and nice headbanging :p

[PsychoticFlubber]

While the topic of "help" is on... uh... does anyone know of any free recording software that's decent? All I am looking for is something to download which will let me record things WHILE it's mixing with another file... like for example... I open up a backing track, and as the backing track plays, it lets me record over it. If anyone knows of anything like that and could tell me I would greatly appreciate it.

[Shattered_Future]

Garageband.

Mac users only though. :p

You can do that with Audacity as well though. Just import what you want, and click record. You'll start recording with whatever's imported playing in the background.

Garageband has horrid amp emulators though. I got mad pissed at it.

Now, we had to send our preamp box back too, so I don't get to test out our shiny new M-Audio Solaris condenser mic. :angry:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

[MRDuCran]

Has anyone ever tryed the interlude in Wrath Within or the intro lead to Towards Dead End??

I'm trying to record Towards Dead End, it's pretty tricky to get perfect everytime.

[Drunken Viking]

I hate playing standing up. I suck at it.

sitting down ist krieg
I like standing up better, but not for long periods of time. I have a Jackson V so it's always a challenge to play when sitting down, but I find I can usually play the solo's better standing down but I'm more comfortable overall standing up.

[Mr.Metalton]

Whats easier to do to play solos standing up is to have ur foot leaning on the chair and its makes ur hand more relaxed. A lot of guiarist such as Petrucci use this technique.

[Drunken Viking]

I do that sometimes but with the shape of my guitar it always slips.

[Mr.Metalton]

what model is it?

I recorded the Wrath Within interlude and part of demonstration #2 of Passage to the Reaper.


If people thought your tone was bad, wait til they hear mine. It's enough bass to cause a earthquake.

I listened to it and I think I really rushed it alot. I didn't play with a backing track nor could I really hear what I was playing.

Not being able to really hear what I was playing really didn't help my cause. haha.

^^ The better of the two.
After listening to both of them. I think I really really rushed it. It was really hard to play without hearing what I was playing.

The lesser one.

Jackson JS30, Marshall amp, played through that onto Audacity on my laptop.

lol that was a quick sleep. But I haven't even gone to bed yet, it's now 11am.

Anyway, what tabs did you use for Sixpounder?

I think it was from metaltabs. I don't remember.

It's tuned to DADGBE when technically it's played by Bodom in D standard,

What were your thoughts on the recording?

[MRDuCran]

Tbh it sounded weird. You say the tab was in DADGBE, they use CGCFAD for that song so I guess that's one thing that threw me off.

I see what you mean about the tone being incredibly bassy, it was kinda cool in a way though.

No. Sorry.

I meant my guitar is tuned to DADGBE.

I thought the song was in D standard, though CGCFAD could sound right.

What sounded wierd to you?

Did you too think it was rushed?

EDIT:
I just looked at the txt file here.

It says CGCFAD. You were correct.

Oh right.

I guess you're playing it a different way to me so that why it sounds weird.

Do you mean rushed as in tempo wise or not put enough practise in?
Cause I didn't really think it was that fast and it wasn't extremely sloppy either so I dno.

You are exactly right though.

It's wierd... because something just doesn't feel right yet it's not sloppy.

By rushed I meant tempo. It seems that way to me at least.

I couldn't really hear what I was playing when recording it, which didn't help.

I don't think it's a matter of the tuning it's in though.

BTW, Your cover of Sixpounder is the one cover off MX, I've left in iTunes after listening to it. :thumb:

[MRDuCran]

That tab is a bit different to the way I play. Just the B secion I play powerchords on the A string notes and I dno what those other things are, I'd believe they were meant to be harmonics of some sort but I just play straight notes.

Thanks for the comments on mine too.


Btw, do you want the backing track?

no but thanks though.

Did you think my cover was good or bad...Besides that it just wierd.

1/10....Ten being the best, 0 being worthless junk.

I guess I'd say 4.5 I spose.
