[QUOTE=letmypeopleho]I like Serj better, he writes better lyrics too.[/QUOTE]

Daron has always written lyrics. He didn't just start writing them on [I]Mezmerize[/I], he just basically took over now. :p In his GW interview, he said something along the lines of "I've always written the choruses to our songs, but now I've beeng writing more of the verses as well." :shrug:

Do you fancy playing guitar for the cover band Doc?

Dr. Jake Destructo 07-13-2005 05:44 PM

That would motivate me to learn Forest. :cool: Yeah, Gimme a couple of days, and I shall see if I have the time and motivation.

Their new album was decent but not on the level of toxicity...they would be so much better if they had a l337 bassist

Dr. Jake Destructo 07-13-2005 05:53 PM

I think a bassist that could actaully be heard would suffice as well. :lol:

yes i have that issue also, he said he has written almost every SOAD chorus, and some full songs before Mezmerize (Prison Song and Deer Dance i think he named specifically, i dont remember what other ones though).

Dr. Jake Destructo 07-13-2005 07:20 PM

I can't help but laugh my as[B][I][/I][/B]s off at people who say "Man, I hate Mezmerize because Daron is a sucky writer! Toxicity is so much better!"

Yeah yeah, whatever..:rolleyes:

toxicity was better, and mezmerize doesnt suck, its just not as good. darons lyrics dont suck either, theyre just different

Dr. Jake Destructo 07-13-2005 10:01 PM

That's what I'm saying...But eh, there are some seriously idiotic fanboys out there. :shrug:

Skit 07-14-2005 10:13 AM

Im sorry guys but unless you want midi drums I cant make the drums for you.

I can still play bass though :thumb:

Six Foot Revolver 07-14-2005 04:56 PM

I have organised us a band, kinda:

Lord Abortion: Vocals
Dr. Jake Destructo: Guitar
Skit: Bass
Skit?: Drum Machine

Lord Abortion 07-14-2005 05:14 PM

I'll sing for you, unfortunately I don't know VP or soil, being a toxicity fanboy as I am...

Dr. Jake Destructo 07-14-2005 06:59 PM

Kk, then I say we just start with Forest, since I don't know Soil or Violent Pornography.

Why not just play along to the original? :confused: That way, everyone's in sync.

Skit 07-16-2005 02:19 AM

Because its hard to write drums to the original, The guitars/bass/vocals would be fine that was but they wouldnt match the drums.

Mr. Black 07-17-2005 03:11 AM

Anybody know what nationality these guys actually are, cos the names seem a bit european to me

blackout 07-17-2005 04:39 AM

They're from the Armenian part of LA or California or something.

Huh? I thought I was doing guitar? Ah well :upset:

Skit 07-17-2005 06:55 AM

I couldnt get the bass done today but heres the drums.
(I told you I would only be able to midi drums)

Feel free to add guitar to them, But keep a seperate guitar track for the mixing.

PepsiMetal 07-17-2005 07:00 AM

I like the drum track for violent pornography, but I didnt listen to the others. It is midi like you said, so it's not as good as normal drums, but it's still great.

PepsiMetal 07-17-2005 07:01 AM

[QUOTE=Jimmypageguitarhero]Anybody know what nationality these guys actually are, cos the names seem a bit european to me[/QUOTE]

They have armenian backgrounds, but they were all born/raised in los angeles. Or at least daron and serj are both from la.

[SIZE=1]WOW 2nd time I double posted. I'll keep the count.[/SIZE]

Skit 07-17-2005 07:02 AM

Unfortunatly its very hard to find a real drummer who can/will record drums so you have to settle for midi.

If a drummer comes along and wants to record feel free :thumb:

blackout 07-17-2005 08:59 AM

Nice one skit, I'll probably have a go at VP and soil tomorrow, I'm trying to get my own cover of toxicity done today.

If you find the time, could you maybe make a drum track for This Cocaine or Know? I've been looking for one online but they're proving quite hard to find.

Six Foot Revolver 07-17-2005 09:32 AM

[QUOTE=Jimmypageguitarhero]Anybody know what nationality these guys actually are, cos the names seem a bit european to me[/QUOTE]
They don't sound Europeon at all. They sound Asian which is where they are from.

Good work Skit my boy :thumb:

blackout 07-17-2005 11:32 AM

Skit, If I upload Fruity loops and Drumkit From hell, would you be able to use them to make the drums? Just thinking it would sound better.

Skit 07-18-2005 09:08 AM

^
I'd like to, But I dont think, I'd be able to learn to use them, I hear theere quite difficult.

+zero+ 07-18-2005 09:27 AM

Any chance you can record Forest, Soil and Violent Pornography?

+zero+ 07-18-2005 09:35 AM

i could try to.. thatd be sweet.. forest yea, soil would be a little harder, and violent pronagraphy piece of cake.

Skit 07-18-2005 09:38 AM

Haha, I've had the program for weeks and I'm still clueless as to how ot make a complete song. I can put in the patterns and the tempo fine, but i don't know how to set that out in a structure and time limit, rather than just a loop.
