Pluperfect_Arson 10-03-2009 03:12 AM

Dude, have you seen the trailer for Cataclysm, the next WoW expansion?

**** looks so ****ed up, now.

funkyhoney 10-03-2009 03:13 AM

I have seen the trailer for James Cameron's new film Avatar; looks spectacular.

'Sup gents.

PaulSimonon 10-03-2009 09:57 AM

Good day to you sirs.

What's going on?

gaslight 10-03-2009 10:08 AM

Not much. Pretty wired on lack of sleep. Watching the cricket test NZ v Pakistan, drinking one of the giant V's, doing some work, all kinds of crap.

You?

Cool man. What's the story, what's your line-up, gigs, EP, album?

It's decent. Mostly boring.

I gotta house sit for someone next weekend who is going away for the weekend, so I gotta stick around the city.

Well, we were two guys who've been writing our own songs for a couple of years now, and eventually transitioned from instrumentals to vocals. Wrote 7-8 songs and decided that we were going to put together a band. We're shooting to be a four piece:

Guitar/vocals
Guitar/backing vox
Bass/backing vox
Drums

Gigs are almost a guarantee as soon as we get a drummer. Since Jeremy and I wrote all of the songs, we're already pretty tight musically, and the new guy on guitar (a friend of ours) is a fast learner, so we're hoping to have everything live-ready in a couple of months. Working on a full-length, as well, but it's involving a lot of recording and re-recording. We need to get some real drums in before we can seriously contemplate pressing or or anything.

You've probably seen me whore this out before. Some of the vocals are a bit sketch (mostly on Design / The Shallows), but they've since been recorded, but just not re-upoaded.

This band is probably my best shot at actually pursuing music as more than just a hobby. Not sure I really want to do a life of music, but if I could get out and play and see some stuff for a year or two, that'd be really ideal. I don't give a f[size=2]uck[/size] about making money, as long as I've got enough to give me a place to sleep and food for my stomach.

PaulSimonon 10-03-2009 11:04 AM

I want a band to actually come together. Wouldn't that be nice?

gaslight 10-03-2009 11:07 AM

Oh you're Hearth & Salamander.

Cool man, hope it takes off :).

Can I call you guys Sally & The H? That should be your undercover name plus you could do breakfast and/or drive-time radio.

Spaceman Spiff 10-03-2009 11:14 AM

Yesterday was a ridiculous day.

My friend and I bought a Presonus Firebox so we can record at place.
And I bought a Custom Shop Telecaster. I picked it up at the store and it melted me. The neck is a lot thinner than the American Standard (which was my big problem), it's the Crimson Transparent color that I wanted, and, well, it's so fu[size=2]cking[/size] gangster.

$1500 though... :(

BUT, back on the bright side of this, I'll never need another guitar again. I just want to replace the pickup in my Ibanez and I'll be golden.


Be prepared for so much music coming from me (and my friend/bassist for H that I'll be making it with).

gaslight 10-03-2009 11:16 AM

Beaut stuff dude.

I love my bargain of a lifetime PRS but I think I'll get an American Standard Strat or something eventually. I only specifically say that model because my mate has one and I played it one time and I just sounded so much nicer than usual through it, it was beautiful.

Spaceman Spiff 10-03-2009 11:18 AM

It was on sale, too. Normally, it would've been $1600+tax, instead it was $1300+tax, which brought it to just under $1500.

BenJammin 10-03-2009 11:24 AM

Must see. I love Teles and yours sounds like a winner.

I won't let Jeremy record with anything but his Tele.

Spaceman Spiff 10-03-2009 11:35 AM

I'll try and get some family shots of my sexy instruments.

Fender Tele
Ibanez ORM
Ibanez SR-506

Of course I still have my bass!

gaslight 10-03-2009 11:38 AM

ORM is what exactly? Omar's?

funkyhoney 10-03-2009 11:38 AM

I don't get why all prices there are x + tax. Why can't prices just be tax inclusive like here?

[QUOTE=funkyhoney;17549270]I don't get why all prices there are x + tax. Why can't prices just be tax inclusive like here?[/QUOTE]

because then they look cheaper which is a good marketing tool for getting people to buy stuff

Are these depressingly long IM chat log times?

Spaceman Spiff 10-03-2009 11:46 AM

[QUOTE=gaslight;17549269]ORM is what exactly? Omar's?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, the Omar Rodriguez-Lopez sig guitar. I still love it even though I got my Tele. It's an amazing-feeling guitar, I just want a better pickup in it.

God damn it I don't post that much :angry:.

funkyhoney 10-03-2009 11:56 AM

I think you do :p

Anyway, I'm going to try and sleep.

burtonbassist_102 10-03-2009 02:30 PM

sup guys, haven't been in here in a while.

FunkMetalBass 10-03-2009 04:15 PM

Custom Shop Tele? Cool. Pics pics pics. I'm about to finish my "custom shop" Fender (MIM Jazz). Should be done by the end of next week unless I decide to put a preamp in it.

What's up, Cas?

PaulSimonon 10-03-2009 04:31 PM

I check in all the time, just mainly to lurk. Been pretty bored with life so it's time to MX it up.


Life's a'ight; school and work are just kinda there.

Yousir?

PaulSimonon 10-03-2009 04:41 PM

And did they seriously delete the beginner forum? wtf?

burtonbassist_102 10-03-2009 06:06 PM

FunkMetalBass 10-03-2009 06:31 PM

Nothing basswise, can't seem to find a vocalist or guitarist that actually gives a **** and doesn't suck. Other than that the whole work/school thing. I'm broke because I didn't work for three months and live pretty far from most of the people I know, so my life has gotten pretty lame. I either just watch DVDs or walk around downtown, but I got a job so I can start wasting money again.

Definitely haven't been getting amazing sex, either, haha.

Mr. Pickle 10-04-2009 02:32 AM

Just finished Deathly Hallows.
