[QUOTE=SunnyDayRealEstateAM]I don't really like Tool much. A lot of Tool's fan base is gay too.[/QUOTE]
You are making fun of bands fan base when you have a The Number Twelve Looks Like You avatar... no offense Martin but are you f[SIZE="2"]u[/SIZE]cking retarded?

i don't mind tool, some of their stuff is pretty cool, like the guitar parts go well, but i like some a perfect circle stuff more

tool's not really my thing

I like Tool. I don't know if it's nostalgia or whatever, but I still like Tool a lot.

I can listen to Aenima forever.

they make cool atmospheres

i like that

aenema is amazing, but yeah a lot of their fans do suck.

remember this is either a fake account or a f'ucking annoying kid and needs to shut up either way.

Lateralus = best album ever

by far

Lateralus certainly is fun.

let me again state
hooker with a penis = awesome song

I more or less worshipped Danny Carey for a good 2 years of my life

[QUOTE=SunnyDayRealEstateAM]Do any of you guys listen to Black Eyes???[/QUOTE]


I do. Awesome band.

Do you happen to have the album?

Yep.

Can you please YSI it to me?

Anyone heard of Occam's Razor?

yes

[QUOTE=SunnyDayRealEstateAM]Can you please YSI it to me?[/QUOTE]


Yeah sure. I'll hit you up with a link sometime today.


/steals Black Eyes from torn since I just remembered I have 1% of my music collection on this computer.

Alright, thanks.

Can someone help me out here.
I wondering if there are certain modes or scales that go into emo music, or even post-hardcore.
Maybe like typical chords, as well as tempo and time signature?

I just started taking lessons and am slowly figuring this out.

just play whatever feels right. there aren't any "emo" chords. it seems fairly free form to me, the style is all over the place.

you guys should check out ten falls forth, cant get enough

[url]http://www.purevolume.com/tenfallsforth[/url]

tennfallsforth isn't emo or a hardcore related band in the least, so they don't belong in this forum. take it to pop-punk or something.

tons and tons of octave chords and lots of minor 7ths in less chaotic stuff. Other than that, whatever you think sounds good. Lot's of bands seem to make up chords as they go along, using alot of dissonant notes to throw things off. Just mess around and see what sounds good. Don't worry about time signatures or beats either. Emo doesn't seem to focus on anything like that.

I fugred as much.
I just seem to notice certain chords at time that I can spot throughout.

Alright.
Thank you guys.

Funeral Diner is delicious.

kitty kitty cat kitty kitty cat, I'm feeling heavy.

Shut up.

why do people ask themselves how to write an emo song? good god....

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]kitty kitty cat kitty kitty cat, I'm feeling heavy.[/QUOTE]
i know that from somewhere.
my mind as blank at the moment though, mind telling me?

Cap'n Jazz - Little League.

[QUOTE=deadohiosky9]why do people ask themselves how to write an emo song? good god....[/QUOTE]

I'm not asking how to.
I'm asking what typically goes into writing one.
Chords, scales, modes, time signatures, et cetera, et al.
It was out of curiosity since I'm learning what I'm actually writing.
I like to make sense out of it.

It's ok.
You can calm down now..

[QUOTE=Wow]Cap'n Jazz - Little League.[/QUOTE]
Cap'n Jazz <3

I'm liking American Football a lot more these days, though.

[QUOTE=deadohiosky9]why do people ask themselves how to write an emo song? good god....[/QUOTE]

Because they are n00bs.

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Why?[/QUOTE]


There's no correct structure or technique or proper chords or anything that goes into writing an emo song. You shouldn't be told what's common in different styles. Play what you want, how you want, when you want, as long as you think it's good.

That's not 100% true. Lots of bands use similar chords. Mostly octave chords, (7 8 x 9 10 7)or the simple 7 8 9 chord (Mohinder for example). Having said this, I'm pretty sure that most of the kids who started dissing SGlove are going to grab their guitars right now to try out those chords.

edit: The first one is from high E to low E, second one is from low E upwards

Sure there's theory to everything, but you shouldn't take the common theory and base your own music off of it, is what I'm saying.

Yes it's not 100% true, and yes there are common chords, but I'm saying there's no proper way to write an emo song.

Lots of tempo changes etc too

When did everyone's testes get twisted?
I honestly had no idea this would create an argument.

I said it before, I'll say it again.
I'm not going to be ripping off any "emo theory."
I just want to know what I'm listening to.
What chords would use to create a specific mood, as well as what scales, and key and modes I would be able to use to augment this mood that certain emo bands are able to obtain.
For all you know, I could be playing blues and just want to broaden the whole genre of blues by adding this touch of hardcore to it.
