No, I mean before even you guys came in here. Once we all left, that was basically it...

[Sleepy]

No, I mean before even you guys came in here. Once we all left, that was basically it...

Ehh, Dylan's been around this thread for a while. I only came in here so I could fight with him and diss Alexi. :p It's more or less a spam thread, though, as of late.

And I think Necro was referring to the ENTIRE forums; even outside of R&M.

[I'm Charming]

No, I mean before even you guys came in here. Once we all left, that was basically it...


Sorry to hurt your e-ego, but Ben, Josh & You don't "make MX".

Regs have left. More & more crappy n00bs have hung around.



On the other hand. I have quite the forum going.

[Shadows Within]

that and the guitar forums are ****ed with people like Joshisnumber3 and eggo being complete dicks.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

:lol:

[repcak]

why do you think that the forum is getting worse? i didn't realized it yet ... i only remember the time in october last year, when there weren't made any good postings and then a mod made a thread "how to improve MX" (or something like that)

and why are all the regulars leaving MX all of sudden? and IF more n00bs come in here, we (the older one) should help them and direct them how to post and to make interesting threads ... don't forget, now we are the elite :p

[Apocalyptic Raids]

and why are all the regulars leaving MX all of sudden?
They aren't :-\

[Sleepy]

Jom did.

:(

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That's one person. It's hardly 'all the regulars' :rolleyes:

[Sleepy]

That's one person. It's hardly 'all the regulars' :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure SF meant that all the Bodom regulars stopped posting in this thread.

[Shattered_Future]

They really did.

Before, it was me, Ben, Josh, Leah (Taste_My_Scythe for those of you who don't know), Danny (uuuhhh...think he was flamesofbodom) and this guy named Mr. Squiggles, who's real name escapes me.

Out of those, almost nobody comes in here anymore.

[Shadows Within]

i think ducran, necro, me (kinda) and i'm charming are the only regs left?

[blue3]

:lol:
lollercaust?!

this guy named Mr. Squiggles, who's real name escapes me.His name's John.

[Silenius]

Since the copyright people are the biggest douche bags ever and have shut down mysongbook does anyone have the Oops I did it again! GP4 on their computer? If so I would appreciate it if you could upload it. :)

[Nepenthe]

Mysongbook is gone?

[Shadows Within]

Mysongbook is gone?
yep

[Nepenthe]

That's just ridiculous.

[blue3]

That's lame.

[Forlorn Hope]

OH NO!!!!
That sucks, I hate it, even if I don't even have Guitar Pro...:lol:
Still get tabs at a friends house with it.

[Mr. Squiggles]

Way to forget my name Mike...

lollercaust?!

His name's John.

Thank you... :D

[MRDuCran]

I really like the solo Alexi put to that.

And Aces High.

[Silenius]

I really like the solo Alexi put to that.

And Aces High.
Yeah that's what I wanted the tab for. I tried the Aces High one but gave up, this one is pretty fun though. :)

[I'm Charming]

I'd pay good money and a lot of it to watch an MPAA/RIAA/MPA guy get beheaded or neck-laced.

I smell a pay per view in the works!

[AA-12]

All the original regulars of the thread leaving.
Yeah, especially in places like the pit a year or two ago that place was classic, now that all the good posters have gone away all the noobs are making these wannabe funny threads that are total ****.

And I think Necro was referring to the ENTIRE forums; even outside of R&M.
Yes.
Sorry to hurt your e-ego, but Ben, Josh & You don't "make MX".

Regs have left. More & more crappy n00bs have hung around.

I disagree to a point. I think that if all the regs came back, it would be decent again.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

total ****ing lollercaust.

[repcak]

Yeah, especially in places like the pit a year or two ago that place was classic, now that all the good posters have gone away all the noobs are making these wannabe funny threads that are total

but look at the guitar forum. when i started to post on MX i posted only in the guitar forum - it was great; now i barely go there, cause the threads are pointless.

[blue3]

Thank you... :Dno problem haha.

Kind of. The threads that are dumb are pretty funny depending on who's posting them. Too many people try to be cool like that though.

[Kurrpt]

i talk shizz to the jerks, and give advice to anyone willing to listen

[Squirrel]

Guitar forum is the only forum I actively post in.

R+M used to be great, now it sucks balls with these stupidly named threads with rampant fanboyism, page after page of off topic posting and circle jerks.

The Death Heads thread is the only thread that remains fresh, active and worthwhile.

[MRDuCran]

I only post on here cause I get bored.

[repcak]

another thing i realized is that alot of ppl started to have nazism-avatar of hitler, swastika etc. and this insult me a lot ... i don't understand why the mods don't do anything against it.

[Kurrpt]

bring it to the mods attension in the appropriate thread :thumb:

Free Speech.


I don't like Josh's avatars, but he's actually a cool guy.

[AA-12]

Exactly, free speech. I really don't care what people think of me online anymore, or in real life. I may just be bitter, but it just really doesn't concern me. You can ignore my username/posts if you dislike it. Someone removed my avatar too, which makes me a bit mad.

[MRDuCran]

Necronomicon^^??

I was playing at 170-180bpm today. :)

[AA-12]

Correct

[I'm Charming]

Necronomicon^^??


Correct. Josh currently has a hitler avatar.

I actually find it a tad amusing. tbh


EDIT: beaten

[MRDuCran]

Eh, It doesn't bother me, I don't care about Historical events.

[I'm Charming]

Eh, It doesn't bother me, I don't care about Historical events.


Neither do I.


On the other hand, I had two midterms today.

It feels so special.

Anyone can sign up, go to class, and put check marks on a scantron.

[AA-12]

Correct. Josh currently has a hitler avatar.

Not anymore :-\

I don't mind how R&M is at the moment. Though the named threads are really annoying.

Death Heads ftw indeed. Easily the best thread around (as far as metal goes anyway, I wouldn't really know about the CR thread or anything)

[Crysiss]

Thats why I moved from mx to another forum.

[AA-12]

Yeah, I have a new forum too that's "secret". You all would love it :-O

[I'm Charming]

Yeah, I have a new forum too that's "secret". You all would love it :-O


TDMX is pretty sweet, I must say

[Crysiss]

are you sure hes talking about that?

haha, isnt that one post ironic? How hes ranting about how threads go off topic and he himself is talking off topic?

haha

[AA-12]

Me?

[Super Nintendo]

what is TDMX?

[MRDuCran]

TDMX is a forum run by "I'm Charming".


I can play the intro to Downfall on keyboard. :)

I know it's not hard but it sounds awesome, especially when you use the same sound as Janne.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That would be cool to play, shame I don't have a keyboard :(

I do know the Phobophile intro in Piano though :D

[MRDuCran]

I would record it, but the keyboard I learnt it on is the one at college, and the one I have here is about as long as my forearm, and the black keys are hard to press, I wouldn't be able to keep time when I hit the Eb's and Bb's. Grr.

[Kurrpt]

DuCran, i have a dilemma...


the C7 hellraiser came in the mail yesterday, but i ordered for my friend, as payment. The problem is, im liking it MORE than the ESP SRC model which is like 200 some bucks more. Im thinking about just keep the C7 :upset:

[Sleepy]

I do know the Phobophile intro in Piano though :D

Ohhhhh

I want to learn that. :)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It's not that hard.

[Sleepy]

It's not that hard.

Even if you're absolutely awful at anything that involves keys?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

How awful?

[Sleepy]

Quite awful. I have a tendency to slam the keys down with my left hand and not my right, since I'm so used to bass. I really should practice piano more, though - it'd do me good.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Well I did Keyboard as a subject at school a couple of years back, so I have some basic abilities. You should give it a try anyway, it sounds cool.

[Crysiss]

DuCran, i have a dilemma...


the C7 hellraiser came in the mail yesterday, but i ordered for my friend, as payment. The problem is, im liking it MORE than the ESP SRC model which is like 200 some bucks more. Im thinking about just keep the C7 :upset:

I know I would,
A. give it to him,Lose the guitar and never own it

B. Buy your own model

C. Give him your old axe and keep the C-7


I'd pick C:)

[MRDuCran]

C sounds like a good choice, but it depends how your friend reacts. If he wants his guitar then you should give it, I wouldn't say it's worth loosing a friend over.

[Crysiss]

also a good idea, I know my friend wouldnt want my old guitar while I have a new one, I would try to negotiate terms, Maybe throw in a pedal and seal the deal:)

[MRDuCran]

Yeah I was going to say something about negotiating, give him the "puppy dog" eyes too. :thumb:

[aria888]

mdrucan y do u think i suck at guitar just curious

[Crysiss]

most likely you do:D

[MRDuCran]

mdrucan y do u think i suck at guitar just curious

I've never even heard you play, but I've heard some good things about you.
My guess is, you're bored and felt like coming in here, and you're probably also really good.

[Kurrpt]

C sounds like a good choice, but it depends how your friend reacts. If he wants his guitar then you should give it, I wouldn't say it's worth loosing a friend over.



the ESP is worth more, but yea, if hes that hell bent on it, i wont stop him. Ill try to be persuasive of course

[MRDuCran]

So, has he decided he wants a new guitar, ordered that guitar, to your house, and expects you to bring it round to him when you get it??

If that's the situation, it'd be suprising if he let you keep it.

I see you got the name change also.

[Squirrel]

most likely you do:D

You really couldn't be any further from the truth.

no no...


i owed him money, and he wanted payment, and wanted a guitar instead of money

[MRDuCran]

Ohhh. Well in that case keep the guitar, save up again and get him another one, that's probably what I'd do, considering you like it more.

[Kurrpt]

i think i might just see about selling the ESP, getting a used C7, and pocketing the rest of the money...


My PRS still pwns, so i got that going for me

[repcak]

keep the guitar

[Kurrpt]

i really really really want to, but i dont think i would do that to anyone, ever.



Even if i was in the "right" about it, I still dont think i could do it

[AA-12]

most likely you do:D
lolololololol

Anyway, I'm currently leaning Frederick Chopin - Funeral March and some random Bodom licks on Keyboard.

[Moses]

lolololololol

Anyway, I'm currently leaning Frederick Chopin - Funeral March and some random Bodom licks on Keyboard.
I love Chopin. Right now I'm learning Ballad in G minor on piano. That song is a beast.

[AA-12]

Yeah, he's an amazing composer.

[JargenMaster]

Good choice :thumb:

[repcak]

sorry, guys but i won't be able to record swamphell this weekend. my cpu-cooler has a defect and i need to buy a new one. so now i try to work as less a possible on my pc... next week :thumb:

[Shadows Within]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpD6xBAbc4c

well first concert went pretty well, im on left

i probally should have turned it up a little bit. also my friend sounds different from me because hes got the zakk wylde overdrive on.

other than that it went pretty well

[Apocalyptic Raids]

hey, you're a lefty \m/

[Shadows Within]

damn straight, my friend wanted to to the judas priest thing but i said it would be too cheesy.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Man the Judas Priest thing is awesome.

only if you're playing Priest or something nearly as awesome though.

[MRDuCran]

Could you upload that on yousendit or something like that, youtube kills my pc.

Is it Everytime I Die you played?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, it is.

[MRDuCran]

Thought so, I remember him saying a while back.

Hows the solo and vocals?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

There isn't any vocals, drums or bass. Just them playing guitar.

They seem to do it quite well, although I'm not too familiar with that song.

[MRDuCran]

Ah right, well if I don't see it by Monday, I'll watch it then at college.

[blue3]

It's good. It'd be cooler if it was a whole band playing though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

yeah maybe your band could do it lolzords

[I'm Charming]

That was pretty good. Did seem like there were minor errors here and there.
With that said, it was well done.

A couple parts didn't sound correct though? I'm not sure.

[blue3]

yeah maybe your band could do it lolzordsI know! We are so awesome.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, I know.

I am eagerly awaiting your debut album kthx

I honestly don't think Children of Bodom are a band to cover if you've been playing under 5-6 years. I really didn't like it tbh.

[blue3]

Haven't you only played for 2 years?

Yeah, I know.

I am eagerly awaiting your debut album kthxOh yeah, expect that really soon.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Yeah but his playing is awesome :thumb:

[MRDuCran]

Not 2, I've been playing for 4. But I don't try and play stuff out of my league, which is one of the things that sets me apart from most guitarists. Sure, I'll try it, but I won't go around claiming I can play it when really it's complete sloppy bullsh!t.
I can only play a few Bodom solos, and they're not even full speed but they are accurate. Well actually, I've learnt most of Alexi's solos.


AND

Laihoisthemans' friend looks like Michael Angelo Batio.

[BassMasterMike88]

Good luck to anyone attempting to cover COB, I have yet to encounter a keyboardist that could possibly keep up.

[MRDuCran]

I have yet to encounter anyone that can keep up with anything they do.

Again, people might claim to be able to play it, but it's unlikely that it'd sound like the cd, which is the most important thing imo.

[BassMasterMike88]

So true, so true, If I was blessed with 5-string I might attempt, but the bass part to the start of the tune "Warheart" is beyond the speed I can get with finger style, and I can't do any better with pick.

[MRDuCran]

Couldn't you just tune down to A, and not have a G? I wouldn't know if he uses it or not but that's what I do when I want to play Meshuggah or Nevermore on guitar.

And yeah Warheart is pretty fast, 190ish I think. Whip out the ol' metronome and you should get pretty close.

[AA-12]

I honestly don't think Children of Bodom are a band to cover if you've been playing under 5-6 years. I really didn't like it tbh.
Why do you say that?

[Moses]

I learned the riff to Kissing the Shadows on keyboard last night because I was bored.

[MRDuCran]

Because every cover I hear sucks, in all honesty.

I mean Kissing the Shadows is HARD, if you broke it down bar by bar, people would realise.

Silent Night, Bodom Night, everyone picks that intro bit with tremelo pickign when in fact it's controlled triplets, same with the lead part on the high E string, and the
sweeping bit after, ugh.

What else...

Needled 24/7, that intro solo is also harder than most people make out to be.
-15-12----12-
---------15----

it's all picked perfectly, I have a friend who says he can play it, can he actually play it NO!

I think I'll stop with my bitching now, but of course just as Alexi says in the April Guitar World thing, it's fun to just shred and go crazy, but you need to learn to control yourself and learn when to play fast, and realised when you shouldn't.

Also, covers of Technical Difficulties, Scarified, Street Lethal (Racer X), none of them sound like it would if Paul played it, why? because they go too fast too soon, simple.

[AA-12]

I need to record some stuff then :-\

[MRDuCran]

You certainly do.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Also, covers of Technical Difficulties, Scarified, Street Lethal (Racer X), none of them sound like it would if Paul played it, why? because they go too fast too soon, simple.
or maybe because they aren't Paul.

[MRDuCran]

Obviously, doesn't mean you can't replicate his sound with practise.

[I'm Charming]

I'm still waiting for Ben's perfect recording of Universal Mind. lawl.

Electronics on my guitar went bye bye. So I'm pissed and bored.

I didn't do **** to cause it either, just in the middle of playing. I've had it with guitars.

[AA-12]

It's because it's a girlish 6 string.

[I'm Charming]

It's because it's a girlish 6 string.


stfu. 7 Strings are annoying. Why not just play a bass?

[Sleepy]

Bass owns 7 strings.

Bass owns 6 strings, for that matter.

But guitar is pretty fun as well. :) Much easier to construct riffs with.

[AA-12]

I have a 6 string bass and 7 string guitar, so i'm set.

[GenuineImitation]

Bass owns 7 strings.

Exactly.

Guitar is forefront, bass is background.

Point aside. Guitars are heard more than bass in 99% of songs.

[Shadows]

I'm still waiting for Ben's perfect recording of Universal Mind. lawl.
Lawl indeed. I haven't practiced that in a long time.

[Silenius]

I'm guessing my Bodom cover (Silent Night Bodom Night) is one of those covers, MRDuCran, judging by the top page post. Sorry... :(

[Shadows]

I don't find Kissing the Shadows hard at all aside from the solos. I can play the Silent Night, Bodom Night triplets correctly, except the lower notes sound a but sloppy. The Needled 24/7 intro solo is tough. :(

[I'm Charming]

When I practice it up, the needled intro solo isn't hard.

[Shred Danson]

When I practice it up, the needled intro solo isn't hard.

But he ranted about it FOREVER. I buy it.

Nah, he boasts for Alexi more than himself.

[gillygan]

So I finally got some Cob.

Great stuff :thumb:

Needled 24-7 is probably my favorite song atm.

[Kurrpt]

bed of razors for me

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Lake Bodom and Red Light In My Eyes Pt. 1 ftw

[Nepenthe]

I just listened to an Inearthed demo, and you know what? I think I actually like that stuff better than the CoB material.

[repcak]

hey, i'm back again :D

my cpu-cooler crashed and i couldn't get a new one ... it took my whole 2days to get a one ... but now i'm back. so i couldn't record me playing kalmah - swamphell as i promised and this weekend i travel home to my parents... so in two weeks sometime.


but tell me, did i missed anything? whats going on on the Cob-thread? any new rumours? :p

[AA-12]

I just listened to an Inearthed demo, and you know what? I think I actually like that stuff better than the CoB material.
Inearthed is a million times better IMO too.

[repcak]

hm... i just realized that there weren't much discussions while i was off.

and i agree with MRDuCran about playing correctly and perfect ... but we'll se how i will do with swamphell :p don't expect too much :/
i haven't practised much in the last few days -> university, computer, friends .... no time


Silent Night, Bodom Night, everyone picks that intro bit with tremelo pickign when in fact it's controlled triplets, same with the lead part on the high E string, and the
sweeping bit after, ugh.

my guitar teacher told me that its played in double-triplets (sixths? - i don't know how to say it).

once again EDIT:

jani liimatainen (Young Guitar) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=6G-TsPENqXM&search=jani%20liimatainen)

Hey bitches, new FUKKING computer.

You're teacher may think it's at 110ish and playing in sextuplets, which is the 6 note per beat thing you're talkign about. The overall feel of the song would indicate it's around 220, so 3 notes per beat would be more accurate tbh. Both are correct as long as you use the right tempos with each.

I have that video by Jani, he's pretty good but I hate his tone.
I have the tabs too if anyone wants.

[AA-12]

He has my dream tone :-\ Haha.

I'll take the tab JSevered013@gmail.com

[MRDuCran]

If I forget, I might need some reminding, it's on my old hard drive (4GB lawl) so when it all gets transferred, I'll send it out.

Actually, you might be able to find it on ultimate-guitar.com.

[MRDuCran]

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/s/sonata_arctica/janis_demonstration_guitar_pro.htm

I'm feeling generous.

[DaBuddah]

i havent heard much of there stuff but the songs that i did hear were preaty killer:chug:

[thatscooliguess]

ok.... i didnt get into bodom until last saturday.... im glad to see a post about em up here..... i have four of their songs burnt to a cd... Children of decadance (which im learning on bass) kissing the shadows, bed of razors and sixpounder..... amazing band.... Alexi Liho is crazy! possibly the best music ive heard in a loong time!

by the way, does anyone imagine pirates when you hear bed of razors?

[MRDuCran]

You have some pretty good songs there!

I think BoR is pretty piratey too.

Also, I am currently downloading Tokyo Warhearts. I will soon have Nosturi too. Yes, Dylan, we all know you have it on DVD, but soon, so shall I. :)

[repcak]

if you have something like that:

12-10-8
do you play it with your index, middlefinger and pinky
or do you play it with your index, ringfinger and pinky?

[Kurrpt]

i play it both ways repcak. You'll find times where its advantageous to do it either way, or the other depending on whats coming up next


i tend to favor the 1 2 4 fretting (index middle, pinky

[repcak]

thats what i prefer too ... but then my stretch between 1 and 2 is a little bit problematic... only some millimeters, but i have to work on it ;)

[The Buttloaves]

I just recorded this. It has nothing to do with COB but people actually read this thread. Just tell me what you think so far, it's not done.
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=540235

[I'm Charming]

Well I naturally wouldn't have believed him, either.

But he ranted about it FOREVER. I buy it.


Fixed it last night. When the input jack gets loose, I'd tighten it. I didn't realize that I was twisting one of the wires. To make a long story short. My bro soldered it and I'm rolling.

[MRDuCran]

So you can record the intro solo to Needled 24/7 now?

[MRDuCran]

I just recorded this. It has nothing to do with COB but people actually read this thread. Just tell me what you think so far, it's not done.
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=540235

Wasn't too bad man.

The rhythm tone's pretty beefy, and that first whammy bar raise was cool.
Liked the last riff best though.

[The Buttloaves]

Yeah, I don't have much tonal range. I record directly through a Boss ME-50 on the "Loud" pedal option. I don't really know how to mix much, especially with audacity. And as you can hear, I'm not a very good lead player but I wanted to throw something in there, so I figured I'd just wank something on the whammy bar.

[I'm Charming]

So you can record the intro solo to Needled 24/7 now?


I did mention when I've practiced it a lot. Which I have not recently. I havn't played any part of that song in like 1 month?

[repcak]

CoB thread is dying since last week... why? we need a good discussion... any suggestion? maybe we can start to make a Cob-competition or something like that... hm....

[The Masked Guitarist]

um ....... converstaion ............
uhggg *swears under breath* favorite CoB cd ........
ummm * *again swears ** ........ favorite band member .....

[MRDuCran]

lol. Been done TOOOOO many times.

Repcak, what kind of competition do you have in mind?

[Moses]

I'll play keys if anyone wants to do a cover of Kissing the Shadows.

[MRDuCran]

Can you play like Janne?

[repcak]

hm... i thought that everyone could record a small part of a bodom song and then we could put it together.

[Sleepy]

Can you play like Janne?

You mean drinking a beer while playing Lake Bodom?

EDIT: @ repcak

I'm a bassist.

[repcak]

when i try to record something through my mic i hear noise and in the background my guitar... what do i have to do to eleminate the noise?

edit: don't mind

[MRDuCran]

You mean drinking a beer while playing Lake Bodom with one hand?


Fix'd.

[repcak]

i try to record kalmah swamhell at 80bpm for you, but it seems that i'm too nervous ... i make mistakes all the time... hm... lets see if i will record it today, or next week.
the only problem is that its very quiet, although i tried to put it louder through the program, but its still very quiet...

[repcak]

so i recorded it with Kristal Audio Engine but i just don't know how to convert it into *.wav or *.mp3 :confused:

edit: i've got it :D

upload in some minutes

[repcak]

Kalmah - Swamphell together with Symphony X - Inferno (Unleash the Fire)

Swamphell & Inferno (Unleash the fire) (http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0403759/swamphell_inferno.mp3)

at the beginning i made a mistake and the funny thing is, that (imo) the intro of inferno is better played than kalmah... though i practise kalmah more often and longer than inferno :p

[MRDuCran]

Are you having more left hand or right hand troubles??

If it's left (fretting), then you should slow it down and alternate pick every note just for the time being and concentrate on getting all the notes sounding good.

If it's right (picking), practise a few more sweep picking exercises to get a better flow.

[repcak]

both ... i have some problems with sweeping (right hand), because its the first song i learnt which have sweeps.
and left hand.... the intro (because of the big finger-stretch) and pinky on the low e-string... it seems as i hammer on the string, instead of playing it...


the other thing is... i was nervous; and when i made a mistake i had to begin once again... so this was maybe my 100x take. i travel home tomorrow and i hope i will have more time next weekend. then i will try to re-record it.

[MRDuCran]

First song with sweeping!?!

Damn man, if it was me, I'd stop playing that song, practise THE very basic shapes over and over with a metronome like you're doing so as I said, it will improve the smoothness and flow of your picking. Then go back to it a few months later and you'll probably find it's automatically much easier. Maybe a bit of scale stuff too if you find that stretch difficult. You know, 1234 chromatic crap, and (124)(134)(123)(135) etc on every string.

I just found out that I can play some Paul Gilbert lick about 20 bpm faster than I could since the last time I tried, and it doesn't even seem hard at this speed, so this method definately works for me at least.

*I think* when people spend ages on just one lick or song (i.e Scarified, Speed Kills etc), and are determined to get it up to speed in a week, it makes it sloppier because they feel they have a time limit so they rush. Speed shouldn't be your goal (well, in the end it will be) but accuracy should always come first. Don't worry about recording it if YOU are not ready, don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself man.

[repcak]

it was the first song with sweeping, true. this song was the reason why i started to learn sweeping, but how you said, i haven't practise them a lot.
i have now troy stetinas "Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar" and his exercises are great! i will now start to learn the sweeping exercises from his book.

speed/accuracy: since the last discussions with you and Kurrpt i realized that you are right and i stopped to look at speed anymore, though its more frustrating :p about

kalmah: today i played it for the first time at 80bpm perfectly, but when i started to record it, i got nervous. now after the recording, i realized that i was sloppy and now i think i will slow down once again and analyse the moves more exactly.

time limits: my time limit was to record kalmah at 110bpm in summer... at first i thought i will reach the goal, but how you remember, i once have to relearn the whole song, because i made always the same mistake. therefore it took me longer. after this record i know i won't be able to record it until june (one of the reason is, that i won't have enough time for playing guitar, cause of university) - but i think its realistic to reach my goal sometime in summer... july/august/ at least in september ;)

ps.: the record was made with a headset-mic and with a bad amp-setting (distortion, etc.) + bad guitar-pick ups.

[MRDuCran]

I've heard good things about that book, but imo, half of the accuracy/skill increase isn't jsut the exercise, it's the WAY you practise that exercise. I mean it is pretty point less to have 235 sweep picking exercises because they ALL involve the sweeping motion, the only difference is where you put your fretting fingers, and if you need to concentrate on that, then the focus on the flow of the right hand will diminish. If you need all the basic shaps to practise, let me know. Since Swamphell is has a 4 string, you should practise 3 and 4. 5 *might* be a bit too much, 6 will be.

Kurupt and I both have the same thoughts about speed/accuracy. Except he's probably more strict, I sometimes just go "ahh bugger it, I can't play it that well at this speed but I'm going to increase anyway". Not good!

I'd say if you started practising sweep motion, you'll have this down by September.

How long have you been playing?

[Moses]

Can you play like Janne?
Yeah. He's not that great. I learn stuff like Chopin and Chick Corea, so Janne's stuff isn't that hard.

[MRDuCran]

Sh!t, can you record something, that'd be amazing.

[Moses]

Right now I only really know the main theme of Kissing the Shadows but I can put up a solo that I recorded when I was bored at school.

Me soloing over a 2/5/1:

Haha that run from 0:22-0:30 was pretty crazy!!

It's really good recording too so you can hear everything.

Really cool dude, it'd be awesome to hear you do like the Living Dead Beat solo on keys.

[Moses]

Thanks by the way.

Does anyone wanna Kiss the Shadows?(punzor)

I would if I could play the solos.

yes, meanwhile (through the discussions with you and Kurrpt) i know that the WAY how to practise it, is more important ... thats what troy stetina says too.

if you will send me some sweeping exercise, that would be great :D repcak@gmx.at

i started playing acoustic guitar exactly 3years ago (because of a girl :p ), but i have played maybe once a week for some hours. after one year, so two years ago, i got my ibanez and started to play every day for some time. i always had long breaks, f.e.: last year when i haven't touched the guitar for several months. i took it (once again) serious this december, january and try to practise every day... so i play maybe for 2-3years now, but when you consider all my breaks, not more than 1 1/2 :/

[I'm Charming]

hahha. I started playing guitar because of Metallica. Then realized rather quickly what crap they were.


@ Repcak- You should join my forum, What's your AIM or MSN? Ghosts are always welcome.. : )

[repcak]

i don't have AIM neither MSN but i have ICQ and Skype; i think i won't have time for another forum, cause i'm alread "active" in four! though MX is the most important one.

Knocking on Heavens door by Bob Dylan and Seek and Destroy were my first two songs :D

i remember how proud i was in autumn 2004 (1 1/2 year ago) because i was able to play "am i evil" by metallica (well, i thought i can play it ... though it was sloppy). until this year i didn't really know what "practise" is. i always just played.

Yeah. I've gotta learn the rest of Bodom Beach Terror. Just a tad to go. I get that same recording nervious feeling you do.

I figured out a way so I hear what I'm playing while recording. That's very helpful.

First 3 are major, last 3 are minor. They're all in C maj/min so you can compare:
1&4, 2&5, 3&6 - making major into minor

or

1,2,3 & 4,5,6 because 123 = all Cmaj and 456 all Cmin.

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=8E7F1AC035DC4158

Obviously first set is 3 string, then 4, then 5.

[Battle Against Time]

Am I Evil is by Diamond Head.



I know and I assume he knows.

Metallica covered it and it's known as a Metallica song.

[Squirrel]

It's known as a Diamond Head song, unless youre a complete moron.

I'm listening to Origin.

thanks... but i don't have Powertab... i use only Guitarpro 4

[encmetalhead]

if my band can get its act together(that means me playing good) then we will do a cover of a song by COB but it'll have to be from new album cause that album is awesome

[Squirrel]

i don't know Diamond Head and i didn't know its a cover...




then the second part of my statement applies to you

[MRDuCran]

i don't know Diamond Head and i didn't know its a cover...

Download it, it's free.


If my band can get its act together, (that means me playing well) then we will do a cover of a song by Children of Bodom, but it'll have to be from their new album Are You Dead Yet? because that album is awesome.

Do We're Not Gonna Fall.

[Sleepy]

if my band can get its act together(that means me playing good) then we will do a cover of a song by COB but it'll have to be from new album cause that album is awesome

Are You Dead Yet is very, very far from awesome.

[blue3]

But it's still good.

[Sleepy]

But it's still good.

IMO, it's not even that.

I'd personally rate it as extremely subpar. Laiho was just trying WAY too hard to be badass. It has a few good tracks, though.

[Moses]

The first one was great.
/respect

The metal thing, I wasn't impressed by. I wasn't digging it.

How many years have you played piano for?
12 years. Started when I was 5 and I'm 17 now. The metal thing isn't really a good representation of what we sound like though.

[AA-12]

I've been playing piano for around a year I guess. It's so expansive and complex; I love it.

[MRDuCran]

But it's still good.

Agreed.

[Kurrpt]

i was actually thinking about getting a keyboard just for writing

[MRDuCran]

I'm listening to Tokyo Warhearts, it really is incredible.
Alexi's playing is soo clean, he's gotten worse over the years.
I mean he pulls off Silent Night, Bodom Night fukkin' perfectly and it's faster than the original. Every solo is perfect infact.

In love with his tone too.

[Shadows]

He's gotten worse over the years? :confused:

[MRDuCran]

Well judging by his live playing then yes. Some of the stuff he does now is horrible. His Zakk Wydle improvisation type stuff blows compared to the neo-classical era they were in during Hatebreeder to Follow the Reaper.

I mean Hate Me solo is awesome but he never plays it the same anymore, I noticed he grabs the bar alot and just dives harmonics if he runs out of ideas or messes up.

I would much rather see them in their Tokyo Warhearts days.

[Shadows]

I can't say I agree with that at all. He was a little sloppy back then but now he's very clean.

[BlackFire_]

Alexi Laiho is an amazing guitarist, but I disagree that he got worse, if anything, he has become better and cleaner, IMO

[AA-12]

I agree with DuCran. They've ran out of ideas IMO :-\

[Shadows]

That doesn't make any sense. :confused: Unless you're saying AYDY sounded exactly like their last albums.

[BlackFire_]

That doesn't make any sense. :confused: Unless you're saying AYDY sounded exactly like their last albums.

True. AYDY sounded nothing like their early albums, they changed their style a lot, but I prefer their old stuff over their new stuff.

[MRDuCran]

Well after hearing Tokyo Warhearts, I can never think he's got cleaner. Maybe on the albums he is obviously, but live, no way.

BlackFire, he IS an amazing guitarist, I'm not denying that, but his accuracy has decreased.

[Shadows]

He was flawless when I saw him several months ago.

[I'm Charming]

He was flawless when I saw him several months ago.


Same with when I saw him. Flawless.

With that said. I agree with Mitch on this one. He's gotten a lot worse.

[The Buttloaves]

On Tokyo Warhearts, listen to Towards Dead End, and at 2:32, I swear one of them hits the wrong powerchord :lol:

[BlackFire_]

Well after hearing Tokyo Warhearts, I can never think he's got cleaner. Maybe on the albums he is obviously, but live, no way.

BlackFire, he IS an amazing guitarist, I'm not denying that, but his accuracy has decreased.

I see what youre saying. I think the has improved his accuracy slightly from his old stuff, but his old guitar work I think is better than his new work.

[AA-12]

That doesn't make any sense. :confused: Unless you're saying AYDY sounded exactly like their last albums.
After being a fan of AYDY, I realized that it is just stuff that's been done time and time again before.

[Shadows]

Same with when I saw him. Flawless.

With that said. I agree with Mitch on this one. He's gotten a lot worse.
That's the most contradicting oinion I've ever heard. :lol:

After being a fan of AYDY, I realized that it is just stuff that's been done time and time again before.
By who? AYDY is one of the most unique albums I've ever heard short of pioneering a new genre.

[got tool?]

Yeah I'm kinda new to CoB...but so far I'm really liking sixpounder, warheart, downfall...and oops i did it again :lol:

[I'm Charming]

Yeah I'm kinda new to CoB...but so far I'm really liking sixpounder, warheart, downfall...and oops i did it again :lol:


Hey don't laugh. They made me enjoy that song. That speaks volumes.


@ Ben. No. It wasn't.

I said, he was flawless when I saw him. Including on WNGF solo.

If you watch live videos though or the AYDY licks video. Tell me those aren't sloppy.

[Sleepy]

By who? AYDY is one of the most unique albums I've ever heard short of pioneering a new genre.

Pardon?

Bodom had something unique going with the sound they had pioneered up UNTIL AYDY. Then, Alexi's vocal style changed so that he sounds more like a Nu-Metal vocalist; torn between (horrid) singing and screaming. The addicting, neo-classical riffs gave way to lines that have been time and time again by American metal bands. The very fair lyrics became about as corny as DragonForce and Cannibal Corpse.

AYDY reminds me of every other NWOAHM band, with better guitar work and the addition of keyboards. Sorry if you, or anyone else, doesn't agree, but every time I force myself to listen to AYDY, I hear Alexi scream "Look at me, guys! I'm hXc!!!"

[Shadows]

I said, he was flawless when I saw him. Including on WNGF solo.

If you watch live videos though or the AYDY licks video. Tell me those aren't sloppy.
I've seen live videos. They aren't sloppy. His playing on the new albums isn't sloppy. His playing on Something Wild and, to a lesser degree, on Hatebreeder, was sloppy.

[Shattered_Future]

Actually, I don't think they sound much like American metal bands at all on this release. They just don't do anything to change their formula.

[Shadows Within]

I don't think they sound like American metal at all it's more agressive sure but the riffs are still pretty kick ***, and now i can understand (kinda) what hes saying now.

[I'm Charming]

I'm seriously sick of this input jack. It went out again. I open and of course the wire cut away from it's connection again. I'm thinking since a GOOD soldering job won't work. What will keep it on there and most of all lock that jack in place.

Any ideas.

[encmetalhead]

american metal aint close to finland metal yet

[MRDuCran]

Well said^^^.

thank you thank you *bows then falls over* i knew i shouldnt have had that extra drink...

Nevermore >>>> CoB
oooo tough decision there....personally i like them both equally.

[got tool?]

Hey don't laugh. They made me enjoy that song. That speaks volumes.

Sorry man, didn't mean to offend or anything. I just thought that it was a pretty...different song than what i was used to.

The next step: In Flames doing a cover of "Bootylicious". I'd listen to that.

[encmetalhead]

Yeah my friend was telling me about the tuners yesterday...thats just retarted...

i agree with you... in europe Cob has a big fanbase and they wanted to have this fanbase in the US too. so this is (imo) the reason why they tried hard to sound like an NWOAHM band :upset:

to the sloppy playing of Alexi: you have to consider than Alexi is sometimes drunk on stage. when i saw them live in vienna his playing was perfect, but after the show they all drunk a lot of wodka!! the next day my guitar-teacher saw them in linz and said that they made a lot of mistakes and played sloppy - after the show alexi asked for excuse.
so maybe alexi was drunk (the day before) and therefore he played sloppy at your show.

How much is the one you're getting.
Oh, and where are you buying it from (meaning what city you're from etc)

[MRDuCran]

None of Cob are drunk on stage. Alexi says he may have one drink before but he's never going to get trashed because then it would make him suck, and obviously he doesn't want that. And neither do we.

[repcak]

yes, but when he drunk the day before he can have a hangover the next day ... and this is even worse than being drunk.

[MRDuCran]

That's a good point. I didn't really consider that, but at least he garantees he doesn't do it directly before.

[Shattered_Future]

Oh man, that reminds me of this Sonata Arctica DVD I have...

"We played sober before, but we realized...we SUCK when we're sober. So we go back to playing the old way." *picks up bottle of vodka*

whats the keyboardists name, hes really good. is that common in slovick metal
