Hey, in the Nile thread, I meant Nile. BUT, when I saw Bodom in London, I could have met them too but I had to leave early to get the last train home. GRRRRRR!!!
Yes you're correct, I post in here around 2-5am, I sleep usually from 5-12am to 5-10pm kinda times. It's usually why I'm so tired at college.

Yeah they're all really awesome. You got LB from their first album Something Wild, BBT from their 2003 album, Hatecrew Deathroll, and SN,BN from their 2nd release, Hatebreeder. Most people would agree that either Hatebreeder or Follow the Reaper is their album so look up the track lists on Google and go for any of those next. :thumb:

That's cool. I would say it's be cool to be somewhere that Bodom have been but considering I've done the hand slap "high five" thing with Roope, it's unessessary, and I stared Alexi in the eyes while screaming the "In Your Face" verse lyrics at him, I feel pretty good. :)

good as always. I blasted the Krank for about 4 hours straight on Friday. I must have logged about 8 hours that day :lol:
The weekend was filled with prior engagements and family events so i didnt exactly get to play as much as I wanted to.
All in all, i probably hit about 25 hours in the past 4 days. I was looking to double that, but its not a huge deal

i remember when i was in the first row at the NIN concert ... everytime when Trent Reznor looked im my direction i tried to make a photo and at the moment the photo was shot, he turned away. everytime. on my homepage you see only photos of Trent looking in the other direction... but once he looked at me, while i was singing with him a verse. this was last year :D

the funny thing is, that i can only play when its dark ... so i start at 10/11pm and play for 2hours... during the day i hardly have time. in the next few weeks i have to write a lot for university: alltogether about 30pages, reading lots of books (10-15books in the next month) and so on. right now i write about the history of chechnya (conflict analysis)

i made a small routine-plan last week:
1) warm up / finger independence
2) special topic (practicing a certain technique)
3) something new (scales/licks)
4) songs/practise
and the techniques (special topic) i want to work on:
Sweeping
hammer-on/pull-off
picking/building speed
rhythm/chords
scales
finger stretching
finger independence
theory
earlier i just played anything, now when i don't know what to do next, i look at this, and decide what to pracise.

my biggest thing lately has been my picking hand. It sounds generalized, but i realized some time ago that it dictates the tempo, and is really "slowing me down"
It seemed like I was only focusing on my fretting hand, and i wasn't paying enough attension to my picking hand, and my playing was suffering because of that, and it was the reason i wasn't making big leaps in the speed department.
After I diagnosed the problem, it was really about maintaining that high level of concentration/focus on that hand. While doing this, i realized countless mistakes/problems I've had.
This, of course, led to big leaps in terms of alt-picking, as well as sweeping. If i have a "breakdown" of technique now, its extremely easy for me to pinpoint where the problem occured, and how to work on not repeating the problem.

Guitars = ESP custom shop RVs with DR 11.50 hi-beam strings. EMG-HZ-H4 pickup with Gainboost (either EMG PA 2 or JE-1000). Straplocks = Shaller Strap locks.
Amp = Lee Jackson perfect connection GP-1000, VHT 2/50/2 (used to be peavey 50/50), rocktron intellifex, and a Dunlop Dimebag Sig. Wah (info thanks to Demoni). Cab = what ever the hell they can rent. In sudio, it's a Marshall cab (probably a 1960A). SETTINGS: I'm not sure of the VHT settings he uses, but the Lee Jackson is Volume -10, Gain -10 and pull, Treble-10, Alexi answered to my GW DGH question saying that Nothing else really matters on the GP-1000, but he uses Mid-10, bass about 4 and pull, Output on Master 2 (more bass response on master 2 as opposed to master 1) and master 2 master volume is about 4 as well.
Picks = Black Dunlop Jazz IIIs.
Before anyone tries to cut down the HZ-H4s, they're decent pickups. They sound like EMG 81s but without the flat frequency response. When run through the EMG PA 2 or JE-1000 they have almost the same sound but with a hotter output.
EDIT: If you want some more info, here you go: In the sudio, the cabs are miced with a Shure SM58 (the 57 and 58 sound very similar, but to my ears the 58 has a fuller sound) with no eq after the mic. The mic is placed on the outer edge of the Cone to let the bass roll off so it's not as bassy and the treble has more sizzle (if you mic directly on the cone, you get a lot of bass and strong attack. If you mic on the edge you get great attack but less bass and strong mids/highs. If you mic in the middle/edge of the speaker NOT CONE you get the highs to roll off and it's all low mids/bass and sounds like crap).
----
To everyone saying that the enormous change in tone from HCDR to AYDY is due to the EMGs, stfu. If you listen to FTR then HCDR, the tone is completely different. Same with Hatebreader and FTR. It has to do with how they mix/master the album (SW was recorded using Peavey 5150s, so it doens't apply here). The tone diff. from FTR to HCDR is due to the fact they used a decent ammount of compression on the guitars and doubled up the drum tracks. Listen to TL&S. The tone isn't a far cry from FTR. That's due to the EMGs and some mixing differences. However, the main reason for the "tone change" is because of the VHT power amp has more low end, the bass is more powerful on this album, and everything seems to be eqed a little different. If you've heard Alexi live from the HCDR days until now, you'll notice he sounds the same. It all has to do with mic placement and compression/mastering.

I'd agree. We obviously have drastically different beliefs and I doubt either of us will change. It's best to avoid that discussion.

thats a lot of information. how can i place such a gainbooster? how to install it? because i will buy a Jackson DXMG this summer which has EMG HZ pickups and in the guitar forum someone says that EMG HZ with gainbooster sounds even better than active ones. i'm just interested.
and where do you got all the info?
You'll need to do things to the guitar that I suggest you don't do yourself unless you've been trained. It will involve drilling a hole in the body and messing around with the pickups and wiring.
I have Jackson's TurboCharger gainbooster in mine, and I can say that it's the most brutal sound I've ever heard out of a single guitar. When I turn the boost and overdrive all the way up it sounds like my amp is spitting fire from the speakers. :p
I'm still confused as to what kind of pickups I have though. They have HZ printed right on them, but they're definitely active. :confused:

The battery cavity in the back of my guitar says otherwise.
I really dislike it when people argue this with me. I know the specs say the guitar is supposed to be passive, but if it is, then I guess the battery hooked up to my pickups is being drained by some mysterious source.

I thought the same thing. I've been wanting to pull the pickups out to check what they really are, but I don't know anything about guitar wiring, and I'd be terrified of breaking something.
The booster does drain the battery quicker, but a 9V battery lasts for a really long time either way.

I'd like to change to an 81/60, but I'm not sure if I can rely on the instructions alone.
Jackson just eliminated the booster completely. MG guitars now come with EMG 81/85 pickups, but none have the TurboCharger that a few used to have. I'm glad I got mine early enough. :)
It gives a boost in both volume and gain. I've noticed that on the clean channel it's a huge volume boost, and on a distorted channel it's a pretty big gain boost.

Oh it's him. That site belongs to some kid who desperately tries to tab every Nile song perfectly and bragging about how accurate his tabs are, then gets Karl Sanders laughing at him because they're just as wrong as every other tab.
Although the intro to this tab is perfect because the Nile bass player, Joe Payne, tabbed it himself on their boards.
The section underneath this piece of text:
"*read riff A for palm mute and repeat instructions* Then Dallas plays the following (all palm muted except the chords used and the slide out on the final bar."
...also was tabbed by Joe.
It does say this on the top of the tab but those are the parts I know are correct at least.

Exactly. I'll go on the Nile forum where Karl posts and see if there are tabs for teh songz.
Example- The way I play Sixpounder is a tad different than Alexi. Most part it's "right". It sounds good though and if you played it for someone and compared the actual song with it. You'd find a match.

Well most of you should know I'm an accuracy whore in all meanings. I love having the exact notes, exact fingerings, exact timings, correct tuning, pickstrokes etc everything. I'm like the only person I know like it so I don't expect any of you to understand.
But it's a pure fact that most of the Nile tabs are incorrect whether they sound right or not. They are in drop A so it's not exactly easy to get everything perfect, I know for myself, I tryed transcribing some stuff from AotW when I got it and gave up after a few minutes.
It's not important to have the correct tab, but personally, I like to.

I know you are! :p
I care plenty about correct notes, tunings and such.
Pick strokes,
Only if it determines how the riff sounds.
IE, on lashed to the slave stick, The intro bar chords need to be down picked, otherwise it doesn't sound good.
I've become a tuning nazi though. I don't play things in the wrong tuning anymore.
Obviously sounds much better when in correct tuning. Except for Nile, I play in Drop D, since that's the alt tuning that sounds best with it.
Drop A is too much slack.

I was never too good at copying other people's material, which is why we started writing our own songs as soon as we formed Mantas.
because he didn't copied other guitarists and didn't learnt songs by other bands, he was able to develop his own unique guitar style. thats something that nowadays too few guitarists too. most of us, just copy licks, riffs by other bands.

MRDuCran
06-03-2006, 04:44 PM
I know he says he wasn't very good at copying, but naturally I am, so me and him are different. I've also read the same thing from Matt Heafy of Trivium, preferring to learn a few things here and there whilst developing his own style. You could say my style was like Paul Gilbert since he's my overall favourite guitarist and has made me who I am today, but then copying his licks isn't my own either. I have only been playing for 4 years though. Matt has been playing since he was about 12, Alexi since 10, Gilbert since 7-9 I think, Jason Becker since 5, Malmsteen since 5, etc so I don't really feel I'm ready. That's a small portion of the reason I haven't bothered joining/starting a band.

I've also read the same thing from Matt Heafy of Trivium, preferring to learn a few things here and there whilst developing his own style. You could say my style was like Paul Gilbert since he's my overall favourite guitarist and has made me who I am today, but then copying his licks isn't my own either. I have only been playing for 4 years though. Matt has been playing since he was about 12, Alexi since 10, Gilbert since 7-9 I think, Jason Becker since 5, Malmsteen since 5, etc so I don't really feel I'm ready. That's a small portion of the reason I haven't bothered joining/starting a band.

I think there's only 1 other person in here who plays drums, and I'm not sure if he has a kit at home. I know I don't. Plus, Bodom drums are hard.

Well unfortunately, alot of their songs DO have alot of double bass and fast tom fills, fast guitar solos also, and alot of their songs are 170+. Sucks 'cause I can hardly play a complete song all the way through and they're my fave band.

The double bass could probably come to me, and I'm pretty sure I can do most of the fills. This will hopefully work out :)

I'd say Everytime I Die was your best bet. I hardly see anyone being able to play the Downfall solo.

The Downfall solo is basic, just really ****ing fast. It's hard don't get me wrong, but not there is definitely harder stuff.:)

I know it's basic but it's the speed that makes it hard. I've said before, sure:
E-3-4-3-4-3-4 is fricken easy, but can you play it at 240bpm with semiquavers...I think not.
I think if you slowed down all Alexi's solos, you'd find they were pretty basic but because he plays most of them at like 190, it's a bitch to get them close to that speed while staying 100% accurate. This has also been proved to me by youtube.

Check out this guy playing Sixpounder on drums, I like it.
The only fault I can find is he speeds up a tad during the (C-222222) bit.
His double kick is great.

He has some terrible hand technique though. I feel like learning that now.

He got the fills out fine, I don't see what's wrong.
I used to be into Virgil Donati, not anymore though. I got over his hi-tom stuff, and stick spinning pretty quick.
I have a video of Carter Beauford playing Tripping Billies, I really like that guys' style. Chris Adler I like also. Can't really think of anymore original drummers. Most of the stuff I listen to features speed, and most people will argue if you say Derek Roddy is good, and I can't be bothered arguing over my opinion.

His hand technique is the problem. His grip is tight.
Virgil has some pretty gimmickey things, but not many drummers come close to him.
I get into tons of Roddy arguements, haha.
MRDuCran
06-04-2006, 01:22 PM
I'm sure he'll sort that out as he progresses.
I'm guessing you're against Roddy, purely for the fact that he's 16th s 250bpm for 3534636352466 minutes and adding random tom fills in there too??

yeah thats him
he just did a silent night, bodom night/downfall song for a guitar comp.
he won 3rd ****ing place because the guy who won had been playing for 26 years and the kid who got 2nd...well they just felt bad for him i guess cause he was horrible.
he's going to post the vid of him at the comp later on tonight so you'll get to see it along with me because I wasn't there.

Well tbh, I doubt it sounded that great. I didn't like his playing on Everytime I Die and that's a slow song.

have you read the news from 22 may on the official CoB homepage?
Various newspapers (namely at least The Sun (UK), Daily Mail (UK) and Expressen (SE)) have today misused a Children Of Bodom photo on their articles on the Finnish Eurovision Song Contest winner Lordi. These articles claim to have an unmasked photo of the members of Lordi, a band known to perform in their unique monster outfits.
However, these newspapers have somehow mistaken an ancient Children Of Bodom photo - which features the ex-keyboardist of Lordi, Enary, who was replacing the Children Of Bodom keyboardist Janne Warman on their first European tour back in 1998 - for a photo of Lordi. We would like to make it clear that the persons on the image below, excluding ex-Lordi Enary on the left, are all current and former members of Children Of Bodom and have absolutely nothing to do with Lordi or their performance in the Eurovision Song Contest.

If he is an ex-member then that sentence doesnt make sense...
