I am going to listen to pretty much every summer Metal release this summer

[Permanent Solution]

Starting now. Tell me what stuff I should be watching for.

I started off with Ringworm...and it's ok but not great. Tell me what was good, bad, etc...

Let me know if you want a copy of anything from this summer off a major metal label, I probably have it.

[Eliminator]

Municipal Waste - The Art of Partying

You probably won't like it.

[Permanent Solution]

I actually already have heard that...I didn't realize that was out this summer...hopefully I got a copy then...I've only opened like half my mail so far.

[Kage]

Why only metal?

[Permanent Solution]

Because I have about 100 Metal CDs sitting on my floor =)

(I'm Metal director for my radio statio)

[superpeer]

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

enc: not sure i can't find it again, i'll post when i do

[encmetalhead]

alright

[Shred Danson]

You started off with RINGWORM?! :lol:

Try listening to the new As I Lay Dying and Through the Eyes of the Dead CDs and decide which one sucks more (the answer will shock you....or maybe not :p ).

[Permanent Solution]

I thought I had heard Ringworm was good =\

Ooo yay I just found a Graveworm CD.

edit: I just got to the AILD CD, but all they sent was a single, douchebags.

[encmetalhead]

AILD is good but TTEOTD is bad and i haven't even listened to it lol

[Shred Danson]

AILD is good but TTEOTD is bad and i haven't even listened to it lol

I gave it a listen and it bored the hell out of me.

I thought I had heard Ringworm was good =\

Who the hell would tell you that?

[Permanent Solution]

Who the hell would tell you that?

Obviously not you! :p

[Shred Danson]

You got that right!

[Eliminator]

Time for Vince to send everyone free CDs.

[Stoic]

Do have to play exclusively new material?

[Permanent Solution]

Do have to play exclusively new material?
No I'll play older material too as well as local bands.

[encmetalhead]

What type of schooling do you need to be a Radio DJ? and how's the pay?

[Permanent Solution]

What type of schooling do you need to be a Radio DJ? and how's the pay?
None, all on the job training. I am doing it at college though so it could be different than professionally.

Pay for me=early copies of CDs, free tickets to shows and interviews with bands. Good trade imo.

[encmetalhead]

Going to college next year =) so do you just volunteer? I also am thinking of gettign a on campus job meh lol

[Shred Danson]

No I'll play older material too as well as local bands.

I hear there's a new With Faith or Flames demo comin' out next month :p

[Permanent Solution]

Yes, it depends on the school you go to but at my school you volunteer for a 2 hour shift once a week and that's all the commitment you have to make besides training and of course coming prepared and such. As a department director I have more work but also more perks.

Trev: Ship me a radio-friendly copy and I'll play it.

[Shred Danson]

Trev: Ship me a radio-friendly copy and I'll play it.

By that you mean any song which doesn't contain a "****", "****" or "cunt", etc etc? Because our lyrics don't contain any curse words really..:p

[Permanent Solution]

Yeah I just mean clean (ie no dirty words).

Stupid FCC :)

[Eliminator]

That wouldn't be very Christian of them.

[encmetalhead]

alright i'l look into that then...

[Shred Danson]

That wouldn't be very Christian of them.

:lol:

We still get e-mails on myspace asking if we're a Christian band because our name is With Faith or Flames...annoys the hell out of us. We put up an FAQ on there with that question, clearly saying "no we're not a Christian band, we're not going to sell Jesus" but kids are retarded and ignore that...name change maybe?

[Eliminator]

A name change wouldn't very Christian. Why are you so persistent in your sinning, ICB?

:(

[Shred Danson]

The devil made me do it :-/

[Eliminator]

REPENT.

[Shred Danson]

Spam.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Wait, didn't you used to say you were 'sort of' a christian band?

[Shred Danson]

We were sort of a christian band, but that was when our old guitarist controlled the band. He left and we changed our direction (this was before I was in the band btw), and decided that ministry wasn't our "calling" felt it was wrong to "sell Jesus". So the past year or two we've dropped the Christian label, yet people still think we are a Christian band. Then get disappointed when we tell them we don't want to sell Jesus.

[encmetalhead]

quick question: Say the band cusses but it's not understandable, would you still have to edit it?

well don't act like their stupid. after all, you are in a band named with faith or flames.

[Permanent Solution]

Technically yes, practically *shifty*

Most labels send clean copies to the radio though.

[encmetalhead]

that's gay...

[bwnstl]

It's really not......it's actually smart.......unlike you.

[Shred Danson]

well don't act like their stupid

it's hard not to when they ignore the countless bulletins and blogs saying WE ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN BAND.

By the way, we know it's a stupid name ;)

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

yeah if i was a radio station and a band sent me explicity stuff, i probably wouldn't take the time to edit the songs.

so brownstall is right.

yeah we have a copy of protools at the station but i'd rather do little soundbytes and intros with my production time versus editing songs. tbh if they don't give me recommended tracks and i don't dig it on first listen it probably doesn't even make the playlist.

You should probably just shorten it to In Flames.

[Shred Danson]

You should probably just shorten it to In Flames.

:rolleyes: RMOTY ^

Yeah, that'd be a bitch to edit.

[encmetalhead]

that sucks, you get free cds but they're edited...lol

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

most artists with any merit don't need to edit their CD's.

[rhcp pman]

You might want to look out for the new Mekong Delta.
