btw. What's new? Off topic posting in the CoB thread???

ohh nozz. Never

How about Triple Corpse Dinnerbowl?

[AA-12]

That song is kind of fun to play.

[IheartSP]

How about Triple Corpse Dinnerbowl?
It's the only trace of neoclassical left in Bodom.

[AA-12]

That's a bad example of "neo-classical" in Bodom.

Yeah. I used to like the song, but it got annoying. Just as the second half of HCDR

[MRDuCran]

I love AYDY.

I'm gna steal your word and say, lollercoaster!

[IheartSP]

It's the closest HCDR comes.

[AA-12]

Yeah, but that album isn't very NC at all was what I was trying to say.

[guitrguy]

There isn't that much neo-classical in Bodom. Maybe I'm not going far enough back.

[AA-12]

There's no true neo-classical in them, but there's definitely influence.

[GenuineImitation]

There isn't that much neo-classical in Bodom. Maybe I'm not going far enough back.


Their earlier albums like Something Wild, Follow The Reaper and hatebreeder had a neo-classical influence.

[Shadows Within]

Alot of there stuff on hatebreeder has alot neo-classical influence.

[Shattered_Future]

Oh my God YOU AREN'T TALKING ABOUT GUITARS!!!!!

While the first half of HCDR kicks the crap out of the second half, there's some decent **** on the second half. You're Better Off Dead, Lil Riding Hood, and HCDR are all pretty sweet, especially the former.

[Shadows Within]

Oh my God YOU AREN'T TALKING ABOUT GUITARS!!!!!
huh??

[MRDuCran]

We usually talk about guitar playing related things. He's being sarcastic.

We = Mitch, Dylan, Kurrpt, Repcak.

I have them both in really only hear it the keyboards, but its a light influence.

[TEST]

yay my geetar is fukked beyond belief now. Or so it seems.

Anyways,

I took it in to GC. (the saddle screw on the low E had shot through ).
He at first said, very rare and whatnot.

So he tried another screw. Too loose. Then other size which size better* (IMO it's not big enough).
Then he ajusted the neck.

Now. The action isn't as bad as when I tried it right after.

Major problem is sound wise.
I honestly don't have a clue if ajusting the neck would change sound. (Quarter turn counterclockwise if that helps).

(of course. NO CHANGES WERE MADE ON MY AMP) (So I know IT IS NOT my amp)
Before. With current tone (that wasn't changed). DADGBE sounded really really heavy and worked great for Nile. Now DADGBE sounds like poppy crap. It's very rich tone and whatnot. But doesn't pack the same heavyness, not even close. I had to go about an octave lower to get close to that heavy. (It wasn't just with Nile, I tried some a7x [which is in DADGBE and a few other riffs). That was the same case.
EADGBE sounded like "hello sweet sunshine".

I know it's not my amp. Switchs (tone knob) or pick up switch selection.
Settings are all the same on my amp.

Any fukkin idea?

[Shadows Within]

You don;t even know how to pick out neo-classical.
have you heard the downfall solo?

or the end of black widow, and toward dead end?, im not saying its a large influence but you can deffinitly tell.

EDIT: actually from what i hear most of there songs end in that really cheesy neo-classical yngwie style.

CoB sounds nothing like Yngwie though. CoB's use of classical is original while Yngwie is just a ripoff of all the classical composers.

I like Yngwie :upset:

I know it's completely different i was just sayin its cheesy like yngwies stuff.

^^^ Any ideas about my sound issue?


about Yngie . He's lame.

[Shadows Within]

^^^ Any ideas about my sound issue?


about Yngie . He's lame.
yeah but im still gonna like him

about your guitar i have no idea, im not even good at playing let alone fixing them.

[MRDuCran]

I like Yngwie.

[Shadows Within]

Does any keyboardist know hot to get Janne's tone? is it just from the patch polysix on the JV 1080 or is it stuff on his X5?

[repcak]

yngwie influenced so many (if not all) guitarists who play neo-classical. even if alexi isn't influenced by him directly (though he is! but lets suppose he's not) at least some guitarists who are his idols in the neo-classical style of play are influenced by Yngwie directly.

btw. some songs by Yngwie are good/great, some are just boring.

[AA-12]

He's not that big of an influence though, just with other shredders mainly.

[Kurrpt]

ever since I downtuned my 7 string baritone, i friggin love it. Chugga chugga on the low A string ftw :thumb:

[AA-12]

Hell yeah, man. I have mine at AEADGBE. Sounds great.

[Kurrpt]

whats up with that tuning?!


mine's ADGCFAD

[AA-12]

It's Like Drop D, but with a 7.

[Kurrpt]

never heard anyone doing that with a 7. Fair enough

[AA-12]

I just did it to play Nile at first. Now I love it though.

[Shred Danson]

Good, now tune it to Drop tuning down 2 1/2 steps :lol:

God, that'd be low.

[Kurrpt]

theres no way. I love being able to down tune a full step with 10s. If i went any lower, im afraid id have to change string gauges

[MRDuCran]

I like keeping 9's when I'm in D because I'm a vibrato whore.

/big fan of Malmsteen's crazy vibrato.

[AA-12]

You pansies.

/vibratoes with 11's

[MRDuCran]

Recordings of your crazy vibrato Yngwie style using 11 gauge plz.

[Kurrpt]

9s could work i guess, since it is a 27" baritone. I'm just too used to 10s i guess

[AA-12]

Recordings of your crazy vibrato Yngwie style using 11 gauge plz.
Song suggestion plz

[MRDuCran]

Baroque and Roll.

[AA-12]

That song is really, really long.

/hides

[Kurrpt]

dammit frank...


I am NOW going to think you play the harmonica till i hear a recording. 'Nuff said :lol:

[AA-12]

I actually do play the harmonica, too :p

Really though, I bought a PG57 yesterday, so I can record decently now.

[Shadows Within]

Mabye the Beggining of far beyond the sun?

[Sleepy]

Mabye the Beggining of far beyond the sun?

Asking people to do that sweep is like asking people to eat a small child...there's just not many who can do it.

[MRDuCran]

Which sweep?

[Sleepy]

Which sweep?

Oh shi.

I thought Laiho said Beyond the Dark Sun.

:lol:

[Shattered_Future]

Asking people to do that sweep is like asking people to eat a small child...there's just not many who can do it.

Your theory is wrong. I can't sweep.

[Shadows Within]

Asking people to do that sweep is like asking people to eat a small child...there's just not many who can do it.
No i was tlaking about the vibratos in the beggining on "Far Beyond The Sun" by yngwie :p

EDIT: also my friend said if you can find the people he'll do the solo for Downfall if you guys wan't to do it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MLoB7X64O4&search=guitar%20competition

he got nervous at the end and he was pressed for time (only had 2 min) so he kinda messed up but if hes recording it will probally come out fine.

EDIT: oh and he doesen't have 24 frets either.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

That was good

[MRDuCran]

The Silent Night, Bodom Night was just as expected, picking as fast as possible.

The Downfall solo...well, hardly recognisable tbh. Not the right notes either.

[AA-12]

I agree 100% Mitch.

[zakkrandydimshrd]

The Silent Night, Bodom Night was just as expected, picking as fast as possible.

The Downfall solo...well, hardly recognisable tbh. Not the right notes either.

yeah dude im not the oldest and only had three days to learn it because my parents made me change the song, and i learnt it by ear in like a minute just to get by, and i get nervous easily so cut me some slack

[MRDuCran]

I'm not having a go at you, I'm trying to prove a point.

Hardly anyone can play Alexi's solos accurately. Although it's fun to try.

I've just had people say they can, without proof. Or some with proof, which then proves my point because they can't.

[zakkrandydimshrd]

its kool man i just wanted to say maybe if i had more practice ifd do better but 3 days dont help if u know wat im saying

[Silenius]

Hmm... he has a interesting way of holding his pick when he goes fast...

[Kurrpt]

i did sweeps for about 2.5 hours straight last night...


I got em up to 145, 16ths notes clean as a whistle. Im trying to get the Final Product - Nevermore solo down pat. I'm about 80% for the entire thing.


I got the sweeps PERFECT for Bed of Razors :thumb:

[MRDuCran]

I was practising the Final Product solos too.

I can do them all at 110 so far.

[days of the new]

im working on the dowonfall solo which is a bitch to play cleanly and sixpounder the first solo, mcducran is it bad that im having trouble with the solos i can play the sixpounder cleanly but innoway in hell is it up to speed

[Kurrpt]

o yea?


I can get the string skipping to 155 right now, so i CAN do it up to speed. I can almost get the sweeps up to speed, but i just started learning them, so im not going to rush it. I can get the taps right, until he starts doing double time, then its a bitch

[MRDuCran]

I really wana hear. :upset:

[Kurrpt]

I really wana hear. :upset:


im gonna wait till its a finished deal actually. I recorded the string skipping bit about 3 months ago, but to, theres a difference of night and day in terms of cleaness...


right now, I practice it as 3 completely different exercises. I think in about 2 weeks I should have it down, and ready to go. I really impressed myself with the sweeping bits last night, so it definitely fuels me to learn in correctly, ya know

[The Buttloaves]

after hearing The Riverdragon Has Come cover, we need to get a COB cover going up in hurr.

[Kurrpt]

God, i dont think the vocals on the cover could have been worse. It ruined it for me

[MRDuCran]

Yeah I'm not expecting you to record it, especially after that last situation.
But you and I both know everyone claims to be able to play this and that, but noone actually can most of the time, but I kinda have this feeling you can, with your constant talk of perfection. You probably have the same kind of attitude towards accuracy during practise.

We could do a cover, I'm sure Shadows_Fallen or Captain_Frank_Castle could do guitars, not sure about drums, you'd probably need to ask in the drum forum.

yea, i really do man. I actually had a NICE breakthrough on my right hand last 2 days in a row, and its really helping the progression thing.

The fact of the matter remains, im not aiming to impress anyone. If anything, id be trying to make myself more credible by giving examples like

"yea, jack arse, listen to ______ ..... I know what im talking about"

but in all honesty, thats just taking a step backwards IMO. If you have to hear recordings in order to bring truth to the words, i've failed



edit : yea, after the last time i wasted 3 hours of "work" to appease MX members, it really detered me from giving a shizz, or giving proof for myself

Yeah I don't try to impress anyone either, it just so happens that the music I listen to and strive to play impresses most people when played well.

I stumbled upon Spastic Ink the other day, jesus christ that guitarist is good. Go on their website and get some videos/tabs. Some of the stuff is just basic Yngwie type ideas, and diminished arpeggios etc etc but other times it's crazy, because he uses the 12 tone thing. I've got a nice pile of tabs of their stuff sitting here and I'll probably give it a shot when I get back from Download.

[Kurrpt]

i know im not great by any stretch of the meaning...


To me, its a personal, inward struggle that takes a lifetime to understand, its something you never perfect, but strive towards. After the last fiasco, it really questioned my motive for having a repeat process of the last ordeal ya know.

I basically throw it out there. If you do, or don't like it, or even believe me, thats fine. I'm definitely NOT trying to make anyone feel worse about their ability, thats for sure.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Spastic Ink are very technical indeed.

[Kurrpt]

ill definitely have to check out that band.


My work is going on a nazi, internet witch hunt, watching everyone's activity, so i have to keep it on the DL (down low) for a while as far as getting songs/albums, but im definitely interested

i was just introduced to Andy Timmons, a studio guitarist from Texas, USA who is sponsored by Mesa now. I got some of his videos with the guitar one magazine, and the guy is truely AMAZING in terms of compositional skills. His friggin improv is AMAZING, and can change styles with a drop of a hat

[The Buttloaves]

dang. I just found this video of Eric Johnson doing Cliffs of Dover at Austin City Limits. His tone is awesome, and he does those pinch harmonics on like the B and E strings.

[Kurrpt]

im not familiar with any of his work, but ive heard a lot about his tone

[MRDuCran]

what do you mean 12 tone thing? and how can this be crazy

12 tones (notes) in western music, so you write something that uses all those notes once, and you can only repeat a note once you've used all the notes once.

At least that's how Ron did it.

I've seen him play with Paul Gilbert and Steve Vai and I hated him tbh. It was nothing more than just pentatonic blues playing. I haven't heard any of his actual songs I don't think but I have that feeling that I wouldn't like them.

[The Buttloaves]

im not familiar with any of his work, but ive heard a lot about his tone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_jwCETqFRM&search=Eric%20Johnson
the song starts at like 2 minutes

[Kurrpt]

you tube pwn'd :upset:


DuCran : I'll get you this video thats like 2-3 minutes of him. I guarentee you, you will be impressed

[MRDuCran]

I'm not doubting his technical abillty, but I going to keep an open mind in the mean time.

But the video I've seen was kinda sloppy, especially being before Paul fukking Gilbert.

[Kurrpt]

ill have to hook you up. I more impressed with his improv abilities, as opposed to his technique

[MRDuCran]

Generally, I dislike Metal improv, but Marty Friedman is an improv imo.

Does he compare to him?

[Kurrpt]

nah, this was blues and jazz improv. Normally, not my cup of tea by any stretch, and im not sure why i watched it, but i was thoroughly impressed. It makes me want to learn more styles, and possibly do the same thing one day (studio/session guitarist)

[MRDuCran]

Ah blues and Jazz. In that case, regardless of his abilty, I'm not able to appreciate it, I have no idea what's good or bad in those areas of music, and again I generally dislike that music.

I mean one of my friends that listens to Jazz was boasting about playing quavers at 120, I was like, "Huh...I can play semiquavers at 190..."

So I'm guessing it's a completely different understanding of what's "good".

[AA-12]

Dude, Spastic Ink kicks ungodly amounts of ***.

Jazz = way harder than anything we play.

[Kurrpt]

nah man, its his friggin phrasing..


im no jazz head, and it was EASY to tell the dude was very versed in terms of musical theory and composition

[MRDuCran]

Dude, Spastic Ink kicks ungodly amounts of ***.

Jazz = way harder than anything we play.

Yeah they do!

Jazz probably is, I can agree but I still hate it. I seem to only be able to stand diatonic music.

nah man, its his friggin phrasing..


im no jazz head, and it was EASY to tell the dude was very versed in terms of musical theory and composition.

Ah phrasing, that's something everyone wants to be good at. Especially me, I can't improvise to save my life.

I just watched that video of Eric Johnson, and I'm actually fukking impressed for the first time in a long time. I've always turned my nose up at him just because of that things I've heard about him, having a strat, playing clean, playing blues etc etc, I thought I was going to hate it, and see him as bad (stupid I know). But I actually took the time to watch it and he's really good. When I saw him do those fast alternate picked runs I was like, WTF he didn't just do that...

Of course I've seen faster but it was definately unexpected, he's a great player.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

as far as guitarists go:

Friedman + Murphy = gods

[AA-12]

You speak the truth, mainly with Murphy.

[Kurrpt]

thats the thing ive always tried to do since the beginning. I always try to find the strong points in anyone's guitar game, and try to understand how they are doing that, or why it sounds the way it does.

I think it allows me to appreciate most.


As far as jazz goes, my chordal knowledge is by no means desireable. Sure i know basic chord theory, but i rarely practice different chord voicings. I can tell its a topic ill have to cover with great detail in the future, and i welcome it

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I still need to get some of his solo stuff.

his work on Cause Of Death is just godly though

[MRDuCran]

Eddie Murphy?

lawl

[AA-12]

Ahaha, James Murphy.

Jono, i'll see if I can find my folder with one of his solo albums and upload it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

awesome

saraswati?

[AA-12]

Sure. If I have it it'll be up by tonight.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

cool

I really need to go to bed. I was going to an hour ago and I have classes tomorrow :(

[AA-12]

Haha, 'night man.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

i always do this.

people always come one and start posting in my favourite threads when im about to go to bed.

either that or i start listening to an album or something

:(

[AA-12]

Haha, my sleeping is always messed up too.

[MRDuCran]

I get up on a Saturday at about 3-4pm, and stay up until Sunday, usually fall asleep about 4-9pm.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Thats cuz your crazy :-P

[Kurrpt]

:lol:


i stay up till 1, at least, every night to squeeze in 3 extra hours. Some would consider that a little odd, considering i have to wake up early every day for work

[AA-12]

Lately i've just been sleeping at random times and in random rooms. I barely play guitar now too :-(

[Kurrpt]

thats weird...

i really play more than I ever have. More importantly, i get more out of my time spent playing than i've ever had, which drives me to play more, and more

[AA-12]

My main thing is that I never practice, I just jam in the time that I play.

[Kurrpt]

wanking :lol:


i see it as a waste of time. Most people who wank start to really lose their hold on perfection and technique. I saw me reverting back to old, bad habbits and I saw it as counter productive. If i jam, its really to expand my auditory knowledge of a scale, or to work on my ear in general

[Shadows Within]

I wasn't getting any better at guitar so i havn't been practicing at all lately...i really sohuld but there doesen't seem to be any congs i can learn the only COB one i've managed to play was ETID but i've tried learning the others and i can't do it, i can't shred either, let alone play fast. i tried learning the beggining to downfall but i gave up on it because it was to fast even when i slowed it down i still couln't get it.

[AA-12]

wanking :lol:

Nah, I just enjoy it a lot which is all that matters to me.

[Kurrpt]

thats cool i guess. I just see it as me deterring from my goals and it not helping me achieve them

[MRDuCran]

Yeah same here. I do think it's important to take the time at the end of practise to have a jam and maybe play through some things you practised that day in a more musical way, but I do also prefer spending the time practising. Sucks that I haven't been playing much lately either, spend too much time on the computer downloading videos.

Thats cuz your crazy :-P

Unoit.

Btw, if you stop putting "-" and a capital P everytime you do that, it'll come out like this:

:p

[Kurrpt]

i really use my amp (Krank) as a reward for my hard work. If i've worked on a section to get it perfect, and im happy with my results, then ill jam it up.

Most people just wank though. Theres really no thought process involved for most, so it kinda deters me from that route

[MRDuCran]

I do that somedays, just pick up the guitar and pose in the mirror. It helps train me for when you play on stage but I ALWAYS get distracted, and end up realising 5 mins later that I stopped playing the lick I was supposed to ages ago.

It's usually because other songs I know remind of me what I'm currently playing so I think, ooo lets play that, without actually thinking, no that is bad, I should be concentrating. Ah well, when I finish college in a few weeks, I'll hopefully get my head down and practise like a bitch.

[Kurrpt]

nice. Good luck to that...


I basically shut my eyes, open my ears, and focus my arse off. I find things like tension creep up, so it really keeps me on my toes

[guitrguy]

12 tones (notes) in western music, so you write something that uses all those notes once, and you can only repeat a note once you've used all the notes once.
Tone rows?

[MRDuCran]

Yeah, that's what I read Jason Becker calls them I think. (tone row)

But Ron called them 12 tone on his website.

But yeah, a 12 tone row is what I meant.

[Kurrpt]

so bascially you play each tone once, and cannot repeat till you've played all of them once? :confused:

[MRDuCran]

From what I understand, yes.

Right, time to go soundcheck for my AMAZING (crappy) performence in 30 minutes.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Unoit.

Btw, if you stop putting "-" and a capital P everytime you do that, it'll come out like this:

Oh well just as long as u know that im jking it doesnt matter :)

[Kurrpt]

you putting on a gig, or just recording bro?

[guitrguy]

Yeah, that's what I read Jason Becker calls them I think. (tone row)

But Ron called them 12 tone on his website.

But yeah, a 12 tone row is what I meant.
Thats the correct term for it.
so bascially you play each tone once, and cannot repeat till you've played all of them once? :confused:
They also can't be arppegiated. (three or more consecutive tones can't make a chord) I think they have to a minimum distance apart aswell.

[MRDuCran]

Oh well just as long as u know that im jking it doesnt matter :)

I do.

you putting on a gig, or just recording bro?

Neither, I was in one. It's my Final Major Project for college, we just had to write a soundtrack to a slient film, which ended up being The Battleship Potemkin. Pretty boring, most of the music I didn't like. The show went ok, nothing I really care for since it's not metal \m/ but I was playing drums so it was fun anyway.

[TEST]

This needs a bump.

I'm dying without being able to play geetar

[repcak]

i don't have the time to play guitar :upset:

[Shattered_Future]

I'm gonna go play in a few minutes...

in the last week i've played guitar for not more than 2/3hours and the last time was monday. before i hardly played guitar too. just lack of time.

... and right now i can't fall asleep cause i have to wake up at 8am :eek: everytime i have to wake up so early i just can't fall asleep... its always the same.

[Kurrpt]

you guys are full of SH!T, making excuses like "i dont have time" :lol:


try working 10 hours a fukking day, and STILL being able to practice for 5 hours, juggle a girlfriend you live with, keep up with house work, etc.


Basically, I dont care either way, just stop lying to yourself

[AA-12]

I just don't like playing a lot, and I have no girlfriend, no job, and I rarely hang out with friends. I've set my life up weird, but i'm completely happy with it.

/honesty

[Kurrpt]

i just find it pathetic when people have to make excuses to justify their stance.

Do you ever get sleep!!!!! :confused:

[Kurrpt]

ultimately boss, if you want it bad enough, no one can stop you stop you but yourself. I think im easily living proof of that


Do you ever get sleep!!!!! :confused:



i usually get about 5-6 hours on the weekdays, and about 6-7 on the weekends. I just started a regimented routine, so I feel the need to practice even more.

If i cant fall asleep, like last night, i just bring the guitar in bed (sit up) and just practice practice practice. I figure i might as well get something out of the time, instead of rolling around bed for an hour straight before sleep eventually finds me

[repcak]

if you really want to practise/play guitar you will find the time, sure.
but i for myself have routines in my life: i can't (you can say, you don't want) play during day, cause during day i learn for the university, and right now i have to learn till late in the evening/night and afterwards i'm burnt-out, so that i only go to the internet or read a book, but i don't play guitar, tough if i really wanted to, i could.
last night i couldn't fall asleep and it was wasted time - i slept from 12am till 3pm now... not more than 3hours.

my point is: you're right that you can play guitar if you really want to, but everbody has its own routines in life and sometime the guitar doesn't fit into it. for playing/practising you need concentration, but when you are burnt-out, you just don't want to...

[Kurrpt]

fair enough, but as I was saying, if theres a desire there that wont be satiated, you will find time

[repcak]

the only thing i worry about is that when i make a long break i won't be able to play for 3-5hours again, cause i won't be accustomed to it. so maybe it would be better to play at least 1hour.
at least in july i will have a lot of time to play guitar ...

[here comes the bird flu]

Simple Solution: Play guitar, while your on the computer.

[Kurrpt]

i basically play it where ever, when ever

[here comes the bird flu]

Me too. But since I spend a lot of my time at home on the computer, it tends to be played the most here.

[Kurrpt]

i have no internets at home, so i really dont have many distractions, besides my girlfriend/fiancee

[here comes the bird flu]

I slightly gasp when I hear there are people who don't have internet at their house. It's a sub-concious thing.

[Kurrpt]

no, its completely understandable, but I'm really stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes down to it.

Either i have dial up, which requires a home phone which i would never use. We currently get free cable, so in order for me to go that route, i would have to pay for cable, and then cable modem on top of that...

[here comes the bird flu]

Ah, I see; and I understand YOU completely.

[Kurrpt]

you basically learn to do without. Its probably a good thing, as its not deterring me from practicing and what not

[here comes the bird flu]

Yeah. If I didn't have the internet at home, i'd probobly get a LOT more accomplished.

[Kurrpt]

exactly...

I phased out 98% of my video game playing as well, which helps me to stay focused. All I do is smoke cigarettes and play guitar. It should REALLY pay off dividends in about a year or two

[here comes the bird flu]

Videogames have never been a problem for me. Yesterday was the first time i've played a videogame anywhere for well over six months.

[Kurrpt]

i play Nintendo DS every now and again. My PSP sucks with no online connection

[here comes the bird flu]

I tried Nintendo DS once. I was horrible. That little pad that you can use the stick to control with is impossible to use.

[AA-12]

I mainly just play World of Warcraft now. Other games come and go.

[Kurrpt]

my girl was pretty bad with, but got better over time.


You should REALLY see a game of Meteos being played :lol:

[here comes the bird flu]

I'm thinking I might take a look at WoW and see just how cool of a game it really is.

hah

Anyway, about CoB..

I'm learning Children of Decadence as we speak.

[Kurrpt]

i really cant get into the games where it takes 300+ hours to be hXn/1337s

[here comes the bird flu]

Yeah the game I was playing yesterday was the new Lord Of the Rings RPG. Me and my friend played it for six hours and didn't even get out of the Mines of Moria.
It was intense.

[AA-12]

i really cant get into the games where it takes 300+ hours to be hXn/1337s
Eh, it doesn't. (assuming you mean WoW)

I was learning Silent Night, Bodom Night earlier.

[here comes the bird flu]

I like how CoB have either 'Children' or 'Bodom' in 60% of their song titles.

[AA-12]

Haha, yeah.

[Kurrpt]

im still geting bed of razors "perfect". Most sections are "good", but now like they should sound in my head.


I worked on the a ton of Nevermore sweeps for about 2 hours last night. Its a little obsessive like that


obviously, there was some exageration involved, but really, with games like FF5058485409 or Everquest, its not out of the ordinary

[here comes the bird flu]

Time flies when your playing guitar. I'll look at the clock one minute, then look back fifteen minutes later and it's been three hours.

[Kurrpt]

i was doing that while going through "Steve Vai's 30 hour workout"

obviously, i realize its not the exercises, but the focus involved, but some were a different approach than im used to, which makes it perfect

I think i might go the egg timer route, and set it at 30 minute intervals, and break my "workout" into 8 sections, or 4 hours a day.

[here comes the bird flu]

That's a good idea. I think i'd probobly be to ADD for anything like that.

[Kurrpt]

nah, its actually stops me from going ADD from it. If i really get into an exercise, theres really no stop to how long you can practice to get it "perfect"


this way, you really just focus, and when the timer goes off, <DING> next topic/exercise

[here comes the bird flu]

hmm. I'll have to try a timer.

[Kurrpt]

i want to become more organized with my routine, instead of flying by the seat of my pants. I think it would help me to focus even more, and make it more regimented, which would allow me to become a more rounded musician, in theory

[here comes the bird flu]

I'm sure having a schedule to follow would be a lot better than just playing for various amounts of times at random intervals/times of the day.

[Kurrpt]

i didnt want to do that at first, for some unknown reason. The more I REALLY think about it, the more it seems logical

[here comes the bird flu]

It's like working out your body. You don't wanna just jump in there and do fifty bench presses by themselves, and it doesn't do anything to do five; then do thirty an hour later. You have to pace everything out.

[AA-12]

/keeps his random jamming guitar playing schedule :p

[here comes the bird flu]

haha. I probobly will too, because i'm such a procrastinator.

[Kurrpt]

thats fine man. Im constantly trying to get the most of out of my time, considering it is limite

[here comes the bird flu]

It would probobly be a little easier for me considering i'm on summer break, and I don't have a full-time job.

[Kurrpt]

man, i would pay MONEY to be back there :lol:

[here comes the bird flu]

hah I know i'm dreading having to get a job. I hope on everything holy I am a musician.

[Thor]

Anyone else think that the intro riff to Next In Line is totally ****ing awesome? I do.

[here comes the bird flu]

Hurrah for randomness

[AA-12]

I loooooove that riff.

[Thor]

I loooooove that riff.
Yeah, it's even greater when you're driving on a highway at 75 blasting it. :)

[here comes the bird flu]

I really need to listen to more CoB. I'm completely out of the loop on this one.

[Thor]

I really need to listen to more CoB. I'm completely out of the loop on this one.
That'd probably be a good idea. What songs or albums do you have by them already?

[Kurrpt]

what album is that off of, can't say i recognize the track title off hand

[AA-12]

Aydy?

[here comes the bird flu]

In Your Face
Living Dead Beat
Are You Dead Yet?
Bastards of Bodom
Every Time I Die
Needled 24/7
Triple Corpse Hammerblow

[Thor]

Yeah, I would suggest getting every song off of Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper.

[AA-12]

And Something Wild, their best album.

[here comes the bird flu]

Alright.

[Shadows Within]

And Something Wild, their best album.
In your opinion.

[AA-12]

Obviously.

[Thor]

And Something Wild, their best album.
The vocals aren't nearly as good as they are on Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper though.

[Nepenthe]

I'd still take anything Inearthed did over any CoB song.

[here comes the bird flu]

I like the vocals better, actually.

[AA-12]

I like the vocals better, actually.
Same, the vocals on Inearthed and Something Wild >>>>> The rest.
I'd still take anything Inearthed did over any CoB song.
:chug:

[here comes the bird flu]

Alex's screaming is a little deeper, I think.

[AA-12]

Alexi*

But yeah, it's way more raw and intense too.

[here comes the bird flu]

oops, typo..

Yeah. It's more cool imo.

[Kurrpt]

hatebreeder still is my favorite. True the guitar work might not be as good as the other albums, but I feel more inspired by this album than the rest of them combined...



and im NOT writing "IMO"









































dammit!

[here comes the bird flu]

I think all CoB albums are great. Good musicians.
