Can't say I've ever heard of them. What kind of stuff do they play?

[QUOTE=fatbandit]Yum, and hoorah for ice cream![/QUOTE]
well technically it wasnt charcoal
it was a crumpet left in an aga for an hour :thumb:

My guitarist likes Unearth. I've never given it a listen. Sounds very Metalcore to me? What do they sound like?

there very metalcore, my whole band is like round them... i just can't write anything anymore as im aiming to write as good as buz the guitarist

Bury Your Dead is freakin' sweet! ^_^

I don't listen to much Metalcore... Though I'd like to be in a band somewhere between Metallica, with more Pantera heaviness, with some Trivium thrown in for good measure.

going to see Trivium on may 15! yeah!

Trivium is ****ing amazing! Their lead singer is only 17-18!!! O.O

band practice is so much fun
we have video of only two songs,
we only played 3 songs today (all day)
we have videos of me and the guitarist eating charcoal crumpets, him eating a crumpet with custard, honey, chocolate spread, and icing sugar on - needless to say he is probably now diabetic
we have videos of us doing flips off a trampoline onto the ground over the other three and us failing to do a lot of 'freerunning-esque' tricks, rugby balls hitting people hard etc
typical band practice :lol:
if anyone wants the videos post their email in the casual - beware the first one is over 8MB and the one with about 12mins of crumpet eating isnt finished yet
so slow internet people beware

Really? That's quite surprising! To be honest, I'd rather have more Pantera vocals than Trivium. I would sing, but I really just... can't!

:wave:

Trivium's singer has one of the meanest screams around. So many bands just try to get a good scream, but they just end up sucking (Mastodon, Shadows Fall, Avenged Sevenfold, just to name a few).

A good screamer can make a band (or break it if he sucks).

Screaming breaks a band 99% of the time for me, i just don't enjoy screamy music...

Yeh. I learnt that with the band I'm in. I hate my singer so much. I really hate the non-scream A7X vocals, let along the screaming. I'm much more into decent singing to be honest. Notice how Hetfield is considered a great metal vocalist by many and actually sings rather than screams? I value that far more highly. And Brandon in Incubus. Maybe his voice wouldn't fit in a metal band, but I'd give them a try if I found someone who could sing like that.

Well, I think Pink Floyd is the worst band in the world, so, a cada lo suyo! :)

I just think of vocals a lot like a guitar. Sometimes you want some distortion, soemtimes you don't. My personal favorite singers are the ones who know when to scream, and when not to.

Chino from the Deftones is just phenomenal.

Haha, lets gang up on Neal. Pink Floyd smell. But still, my point about singers actually singing stands.

But then I agree about distortion. Some guitarists, okay, a lot of guitarists, have no taste, and are unable to ever use a clean channel on their guitar.

I think a very powerful singing voice in the correct style can beat screaming anyday. Then again, Maynard's scream in The Grudge is awesome, if only because its 20 seconds long.

DIE! :evil: :angry:

No, foolish Chris: DIE! :evil: :angry:



:lol:

^ does no-one want to see my band?
(we dont actually play any music in the vid but its funny as hell)

hehe, yeah trivium singer is amazing

I dunno Neal, they just do nothing for me. I'm a pretty intense kind of person; the super-slow, uneventful music just kills my boner faster than the thought of Janet Reno whacking off in the shower...

Mox, I think I like you. You like music you can really get into? Faster paced, involving music? Instead of mindless displays of virtuosity? :D

Yes, exactly. I'm very empathetic when I see bands play and/or listen to music. If I can feel the emotion/passion that the artists are putting into it, it is awesome. Consequently, that dreary, slow, emotionless sound like PF has was just never really part of my life, so I never liked it.

I agree entirely! Thing is, I'm not naturally very active, with a great stage presence. And I just can't make myself move. Its really annoying. So it can come across as a little boring I think.

Well, then I would say that you're not playing the right kind of music! :)

We wrote some pretty heavy stuff back in the day, and even though our music wasn't great by any means, we were known for being very lively on stage which made it a ton more fun even if the audience didn't enjoy the show.

Seeing people having fun makes me have fun. Seeing people bored makes me want to pull our my armpit hairs one by one...

Hmmmm you see i can do both, i'll listen to something as intense as SOiL/Metallica etc but most of my favourite bands are slow indie stuff, i just feel they convery more emotion through their music, especially David Gilmour's guitar playing with Floyd, never have i heard such emotion form an instrument...

Well, I'm glad you see where I'm coming from! :)

If that is what you relate to and identify with, great!

Might be the WORST image EVER.

does no one care about my band? :upset:
and i like a slow song when im in the right frame of mood
some are incredibly beautiful - eg jeff buckely's version of hallelujah

:thumb: goodo, i tend to find much heavier music (generally) is just as a break when i want something heavier and faster when i'm in a certain mood or for musicianship purposes, but glad you understand :thumb:

Or Martha Stewart going down on her... :lol:

Ok I better stop before Wintermute comes in here and kills me...

Nah... Whatever I play, I just can't seem to pull off activity... I dunno why. I'm a bit of a lardarse, but that shouldn't make a difference... I really just don't know.

We play punk, pretty much, and we have a very lively singer, and my guitarist nearly falls over in a drunken stupor every gig, but other than that... Nothing!

:upset:

Its not really the kind of music I dig, but the kind of stuff I do dig, I probably still wouldn't be able to get into in :s

My media player is playing Metal Militia and Bleeding Me at the same time somehow, for some reason. How bizarre :eek: My computer is haunted!

hey guys hows it going

Haha, cool. Jack is generally my escape from heavy music. I like Lamb of God, Slipknot, Bury Your Dead, Trust Company, Remembering Never, Chevelle, etc and then Jack is in there to balance me out every now and then! :lol:
