Riptide: | Sputnikmusic

Riptide 02.18.13	And I swear to fucking god if my guitarist says "the Rev" was the best drummer of all time again I'm going to rip him a new asshole.
Cygnatti 02.18.13	I feel sorry for you
Calc 02.18.13	I can see you guys are gonna go far
ChopSuey 02.18.13	I gotta agree
Riptide 02.18.13	They're convinced we kick ass too. It's pretty sad.
ChopSuey 02.18.13	maybe you should start a new band? The only decent thing here is probably Parkway Drive or 9
bach 02.18.13	5=metal? lol
Strider 02.18.13	why stay? or why not write some parts and see what they think. or even better, introduce them to good bands? 5 and 6 are good
Deathconscious 02.18.13	why the fuck would you ever join this band?
Riptide 02.18.13	@Strider, im staying because i live in small town and i dont know many musicians, i cant write guitar parts, and ive tried introducing them to btbam and dream theater but "7 minutes is the longest we are ever going to make a song"
Riptide 02.18.13	and lol i didnt join this band I FORMED IT and these douches took over
Riptide 02.18.13	after my original guitarist and vocalist left that is
MikeC26 02.18.13	learn how to write guitar parts then
bach 02.18.13	fuck them, then.
Strider 02.18.13	Well that's a bummer. you should still try and do some stuff on your own, they're seriously cramping your inspiration
Riptide 02.18.13	like that shit is easy as a drummer mike
Gwyn. 02.18.13	"and lol i didnt join this band I FORMED IT and these douches took over" Then kick them out and tell them sputnik says their taste in music is shitty
Riptide 02.18.13	I really want to bro, I really want to
Gwyn. 02.18.13	why don't you just leave and make another one? clearly this isn't what you had planned so take what you had in mind somewhere else
Riptide 02.18.13	I really need to meet more available musicians first. I want to make a post-metal or prog-metal band but it's hard as shit to find people who are into that.
NeoSpaz 02.18.13	I had the same thing Rip. I quit the band and started doing my own shit. Fuck em. Fuck all the mallcore fans (Except I like PWD)
Strider 02.18.13	don't they realise that most of what they play, sounds all the same ? (I'm implying that from this list)
Riptide 02.18.13	How do you do your own stuff? seriously are you able to write parts for every instrument?
zxlkho 02.18.13	5 is not shit
Riptide 02.18.13	and yes strider, we have 10 songs and half of them have the same exact structure
Strider 02.18.13	"and yes strider, we have 10 songs and half of them have the same exact structure" I suggest that you threaten to burn down your local Hot Topic if they don't start listening to you.
DotEight 02.18.13	Lol this list.
DrMaximus 02.18.13	Just leave man. It's a better choice than sacrificing your artistic integrity.
MeatSalad 02.18.13	i'd much rather leave than be known as the drummer for some shit queef metal band
Trebor. 02.18.13	Finding musicians who can not only play well, but don't have completely shit taste is pretty much impossible
climactic 02.18.13	if you hate it that much, why are you still in the band
Riptide 02.18.13	I think I'll cut off my singer's dreads and burn my guitarists fedora.
climactic 02.18.13	learn guitar, learn how to record your own shit, BOOM 1 man band and you have complete creative control
Riptide 02.18.13	I'd rather be really good at drums than be mediocre at guitar and drums and bass. I ain't no Dave Grohl.
drasticaction74 02.18.13	that sucks dude. be my drummer I need one
MikeC26 02.18.13	You can only benefit from learning the guitar. I started on drums but eventually became a guitarist when I went to college.
ridingchillwaves 02.18.13	"I think I'll cut off my singer's dreads and burn my guitarists fedora." I lold so hard. I think you're obligated to reveal the band's name...unless it's so ridiculously aberrant it would cause internal bleeding.
SIMBOLIC 02.18.13	Putting parkway in this list is a joke Compared to these other bands they're converge
NeoSpaz 02.18.13	To compose my own music I write all the guitar parts, add in drums because I taught myself to use a drum emulator and I write bass parts only when I can.
OneMoreRoland 02.18.13	Drummer of my old band and one of my best friends tells me the Rev is the best drummer ever too. It's fucking disgusting
Pterazord13 03.12.13	coheed and cambria is hard rock/prog-rock, somewhat metal but not enough to be considered a metal band
DarkSideOfLucca 03.12.13	Holy shit please quit for your own sanity. Korn??? White Chapel? Emure? Parkway Drive???? I'm too horrified to lol
nononsense 03.12.13	5 and 6 are shitty?? Get the fuck out.
nononsense 03.12.13	Facepalm.
Matthaios 07.02.13	Most of these bands are pretty shitty or just overrated, Korn is the only band on your list I do like. I consider from their debut to Untouchables to be good, but the rest is mediocre.
DrMaximus 07.02.13	"Finding musicians who can not only play well, but don't have completely shit taste is pretty much impossible" Don't be so cynical.
CK 07.02.13	Must be shit
Mongi123 07.02.13	Leave it if you're not passionate about it. You'll go nowhere without the motivation. And Three Days Grace isn't shitty but I also wouldn't consider them metal. Hard rock and post grunge.
