Hey, weren't u ENTER THE WAG before? what happened to ur old account?

Nice playing by the way.

[HAX]

Want me to be honest?

Awesome. Seriously, I thought that was great!

[-TGP-]

I love your cymbal setup.

[xeonman9000]

Yeah, you look pretty... relaxed, like your having fun, good song too.

[Murd_666]

lol I was watching ur expression and what u said when that girl walked in....



I noticed that when a girl walks in the main theme of the song starts, irony?

[Splanchnic Ganglion]

I love your cymbal setup.

Cheers for the comments above too, i love playin that song.

[RushHourSoul]

Cool drums.. Not so cool song though, riffs where pretty boring. And that is a lovely set-up ^

[Futuro]

The instrumentation was too basic for it to be near 7 minutes long.

true but on that audio you cant hear what our lead guitarist is doin cos he was on the other side of the room, plus its got vocals which werent on that. but i agree some of the sections are repeated a few too many times

I know and with it bein "the poon song" aswell, a little too much coincidence for me

[Trev]

Awesome stuff. Do I detect a slight pinch of Iron Maiden influence?

[ollie39mac]

yo, nice song i reli enjoyed that, what are the specs on the zildjian china and the k crash on the right? they sounded pretty cool

I could hear the lead stuff. Its just the opening chord progression seemed a bit bland. No melody or anything, just basic power chords.

Correctamundo, theres another track ill put up later which couldnt have more of an iron maiden stylee chorus also

[Murd_666]

I know and with it bein "the poon song" aswell, a little too much coincidence for meisn't it great how these things all fit together

[Futuro]

true but on that audio you cant hear what our lead guitarist is doin cos he was on the other side of the room, plus its got vocals which werent on that. but i agree some of the sections are repeated a few too many timesEven the Guitar and drums seemed to stay at one dynamic level. I dunno, Not my stuff I guess.

18" K custom crash

[Rock Strongo]

Your intro sounds exactly like the intro to As I Am by Dream Theater, but it was still a pretty good song.

[Murd_666]

Yeah thats what i thought when I firtst heard the song but that was when it was only the drums playing.

[Splanchnic Ganglion]

I knew that would get noticed, yup i pinched parts of the opening crescendo from DT as a bit of a homage, obviouslt played with far worse standard than porty boy

[Sharkey Boy]

That was really great to watch mate


haha at u checking that girl wen she was bendng over

[beaker_747]

Really clean playing. Kinda boring, but it's still a better effort than what my mates and me come up with. Good work yo

[Arruda]

Awesome stuff. I like the setup of your kit any chance for the specs?

[theflame85]

Great playing mate, I noticed the DT influence aswell.

Also, nice setup, great cymbals.

[chewaz]

really chibi, hey what are the specs on the cymbals? yliked the sound of them

[Plan B.]

Haha!

Did I hear, "she was hott,"!?

You're super solid, but I have to admit at parts I was like, "this isn't really fitting," also that break down thogh with all the tom fills and crashes was great.

[Chester]

i thought it was pretty cool

and nice, u were staring at her *** like the whole time she was in that room

[axewarrior20]

I am amazed how the sound of the snare hit when one hand was on the cymbal and the other when scratching your nose, haha

I really enjoyed it, I really love the set up also and have to admit I use those same type of beats so I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one who plays that way

Don't ya just love the double hit on the snare straight to the cymbal, i start to get some hyper while doing exercises of constantly doing those that i start to literally hop in my seat

[RichHunt]

The instrumentation was too basic for it to be near 7 minutes long.

Agreed. I was actually starting to fall asleep to be honest. Solid playing though, I don't think I saw one mess up.

I wish I knew more drummers like you because then I'd have someone to play guitar with.

[FockerTheLopper]

2 words.
So lid.

Very good, best rock I've heard in a while.(drumming wise. Music was good but repetitive)

[HAX]

Why were there girls walking into your band practice? There are some locker like things on the walls?

[Corkofski]

nice, very solid, i like it a lot

[jversluis88]

Awesome stuff. Do I detect a slight pinch of Iron Maiden influence?

I noticed that, too.

[Murd_666]

Did I hear, "she was hott,"!? Nope I think you head "She's Hot" I was laughing when he said that lol.

[White]

I love your cymbal setup.

Same, and is this actually The Glass Prison?????cause if so, what did ya do man? lol

[Splanchnic Ganglion]

Nope I think you head "She's Hot" I was laughing when he said that lol.
Yeah man would have slapped her *** when she leant down if i didnt have a drum stick in both hands.

[Locke]

Decent playing man, I love the stolen intro :) There seemed to be some really nice maideny sections of that peice. Sounded really solid. I liked the bits where you switched onto the china, the fill's also sounded really good.

Couldn't have picked two better influances for the song imo.

[Splanchnic Ganglion]

cheers man and to all the peoples comments, im really enjoying playin music with this band weve only been together for like two months but written a setlist worth of pretty decent songs, we are practicing again today so ill try and get some more footage to post. so watch this space

[Murd_666]

Hey otta curiosity, how long have u been playing?

[Splanchnic Ganglion]

ive been playin for 5 and a half years, had a few drum teachers and stuff but at the moment cant afford one so just teaching myself. the dream theater stuff in a couple of the songs i play is because im really gettin into playin their stuff at the moment like new millenium and beyond this life, ive been tyring to get them note for note.not too far off either

[Murd_666]

Thats kool, I really like ur playing it's really relaxed.

[Splanchnic Ganglion]

Thats kool, I really like ur playing it's really relaxed.
cheers man i always notice good pro rock drummmers playin with really fluid powerful strokes so ive just picked up on it

[Count Amroth]

Nice work. Reminds me of Nicko of maiden

[Splanchnic Ganglion]

Well seein as everyone has said i play a little like nicko i have to admit ive had some first hand advice from the old geezer.......

[We_Love_Lime]

That was awesome. Keep up the good work. Everything about your playing was great. And I didn't think it was too boring, I liked it so much I went back to have a second listen. On the second listen I could hear a bit of the second guitar part, and it sorta made the song alot better. But regardless it was great. Just make sure not to get a bad singer who butchers it;)

[weed_makes_me_faster]

nice playin'... really solid and i really liked it alot...
lol! i laughed so hard!
She's HOT!
and then you raised your eyebrows... HAHAHA!

[Zildjian]

U have some sweet eq man...And ure playin is great...I enjoyed it man ure one hell of a beast on the set

[Caps]

Good stuff.

[moogoogaipan]

That part where the asian-looking girl walked in and rocked my world.
She looked asian... so don't tell she wasn't or it'll kill my buzz.

[Trev]

Nicko is the man. That was from the UK clinic tour he did last year right? Absolutely amazing. I got my Eddie bass drum head signed.

[fredd]

I also spotted some Nicko influence... when you play on the ride cymbal, and play like two fast hits on the ride, then on the snare, in the end of a bar... pretty hard to explain but maybe you know what I mean :)

[Splanchnic Ganglion]

Yeah know exactly what u mean i usually put a kick on each of those two 16th ride notes too

[Splanchnic Ganglion]

Oh yes she was so very asian and petite. theres always chinese people hanging around the band room and some of the guys can be seen jumping around ouside the window to the music.

[moogoogaipan]

find her and tell her that I love her... go on... do it.

[Splanchnic Ganglion]

find her and tell her that I love her... go on... do it.
Told...ill have her imported to america for u later this week

[Meridian91]

The instrumentation was too basic for it to be near 7 minutes long.

true... it got very repetitive....

Your playing is good though.. but that isnt a 6 minute song

[Meridian91]

ohh and not enough headbanging :P

[moogoogaipan]

Told...ill have her imported to america for u later this week
Fed-Ex overnight please... I don't mind the extra charge

[\m/-CHeV-\m/]

the intro was a rip-off off of dream theater-as i am.. and you have the worst sounding bass ever (at least on that recording, but i have no further negative comments.. i liked the song although i couldn't hear th eguitar really. keep it up!!

edit: I'm an idiot.. this was posted before.. my bad..

[60 Hertz Jig]

Hahah the 'She's hot!' made that awesome.

I agree with the other that 7 minutes is a bit long, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume the vocals make it great.

Cool playing, a little repetitive in some parts but I really liked it.

[TerranCmdr]

Cool song. I couldn't help but laugh at your reaction to the two girls that walked in. Especially right after they left. :lol:

[SeAmoNKeY]

so uh, because of a couple of clues in the video i'm wondering if this was done at school? If it was, was it some type of class, or after school? You see, i go to a REALLY crappy school when it comes to music. We've got a concert band thats decent but gets no funding so we spend half our time groveling for money. No jazz band, nothing else. It always amazes me when i see stories of kids who have a class where they can jam out and use the schoo'ls equipment (which is usually pretty nice), or stories about talent shows where bands get signed. It's a drawback of living in the sticks, i guess.

[weed_makes_me_faster]

Cool song. I couldn't help but laugh at your reaction to the two girls that walked in. Especially right after they left. :lol:
They saw the camera and they were: ''Like... OH MY GOD! today at school I saw this dude... ahh, totaly he was like taping himself... like, OH MY GOD!''

[Splanchnic Ganglion]

Its was recorded in the music room at uni and the bass drum along with most of the rest of the kit sounds really crap in there cos there is no acoustic dampening, just wooden lockers for our gear wall to wall to for bands to store their gear in. thats why im wearing the headphones to cut out all the high end reverb bouncin around the place.

when the final studio recordin is done ill post it so that you can all better appreciate the song as it will have at least vocals and more dynamics

[jcreamer89]

There is nothing better than a confident musician, except feeling a deep groove.

[[Fonya]]

That was cool, I would like to hear the final song and another video would be cool!

[White]

haha, nice, and damn, your building does have hot chicks,.................were do you live??? just curious? haha jk
