Hows that funny?

I thought there was a specific thread for people wanting to do covers with other users?

That thread is just for giving Metal Head the lineups, songs, etc..

I was on azlyrics.com and they had lyrics for original lyrics for Testify and People Of The Sun. Does anybody have those songs?????????

The reason I was laughing is because funner isn't a word, it's 'more fun'. ;)

argh, bombtrack is wicked annoying on drums. the hi-hat part is all dynamic-y and weird.

Ok. KitN it is.

:D*

i like metal- [url=http://webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=funner&x=20&y=12]Sometimes it sort of sucks to be wrong[/url] :p

I'd have to say my favorite album is Evil Empire (we are still discussing album preferences right?), followed closely by self-titled.

Hey don't blame me, teachers and my dad always told me there was no such word as 'funner'. Wow, I'm gonna start using that word a lot more often, it looks funner than other words.

I like battle of la the best. there are some kick *** songs on that album that they sadly dont play on the radio.

If you just keep the hi-hats slightly open it sounds passable.

You guys think Brad Wilk is an underrated drummer? I think he's had his good moments..

Battle of Los Angeles is my favourite RATM album, then Self-titled then Evil Empire then Renegades.

I didn't enjoy Renegades.

Brad Wilks best performance to date is on the new Audioslave album. We see a lot more fills and stuff like Man or Animal has some great snare work.

I think its good that a lot of their songs aren't played on the radio.

I went to record BoP but I didn't. I realized I wasn't sure about a few things.
1) are we using flat tuning like the actual song is in? Probably an obvious question but I just wanted to make sure.
2) Do you want me to make up a new solo or just play it the same way Tim does?
3) Since Demon didn't use a metronome the drums speed up and slow down a bit and the guitar breaks are a bit to long. I was wondering if you wanted me to make a bassline to the song and have Demon play to that since the poor guy doesn't have a metronome to play to.

I'm also gonna record a rough version of Vietnow for Demon to follow!

I can understand why you didn't like Renegades, it was definetly RATM's weakest effort. BoLA seemed kind of weak in some parts of the album (Born As Ghosts, New Millenium Homes) whereas the self titled and Evil Empire never lose their power.

...at least that is how I see it.

I really like New Millenium Homes actually.

I agree, and nice pic

BOLA>RATM>EE>Renegades

Yeah, I ment to ask. Can I change the solo from Bulls? Like just the rhythm?

Yeah, that'd be better so it will be more of your own work rather than an exact replica.

Thanks, I pity the fool who doesn't like my avatar. :thumb:

How's the cover coming, guys?

[QUOTE=demon_hunter]Yeah, that'd be better so it will be more of your own work rather than an exact replica.[/QUOTE]
Alright, good. I also ment to ask if we were playing Eb but that got answered...

Should we even bother going to Eb? then I have to undo my locking nut and stuff...

But I could I guess.

Play the song like they play live and play in standard tuning. It sounds cooler that way.

Ok I think this thread needs a little more of a kickstart again so I'm gonna see if I can do it.
Now everyone knows Killing in the Name, Guerilla Radio, Sleep Now in the Fire, but what do you believe to be some of Rage's most underrated songs? and why do you believe them to be underrated?

For me it would be:
Ashes in the Fall - The lyrics are amazing, the structure is very different from many of their songs, and Zack's whispers at the end are pretty eerie.

Darkness - most people haven't heard this one but its got a cool jazz pre-verse, spoken word elements, and an awesome melodic solo. Powerful song.

No Shelter - This was an Australia only bonus track for BOLA, got an awesome groove and some very cool lyrics.

Without a Face - Though its pretty run of the mill Rage material I really think it stands out on EE. Gotta love the live version too.

Please post your favourite underrated Rage songs

Definatly Roll Right. Another would be Year Of Tha Boomerang.

I LOVE EE.

Almost all rage songs are underrated, sept for a lot of BOLA which had some really crappy songs if you ask me.

I am sure this question has been asked probably 100X but what is Zack doing now? Was he supposed to come out with an album? Has he become a hermit or what?I heard a song called "We want it all" was that a new band or what??I think he also had a website...

Browse the thread please.

Don't foget about "March Of Death"...

Agreed. Born as Ghosts and New Millenium Homes are just plain boring if you ask me. They seem like filler tracks.

New Millenium Homes - Underated because I don't think anyone likes it but me.
Township Rebellion, Fistfull of Steel, Revolver, Voice of the Voiceless, and a few others.

Snakecharmer-Great snare work and often overlooked being between BoP and Down Rodeo

[QUOTE=demon_hunter]Snakecharmer-Great snare work and often overlooked being between BoP and Down Rodeo[/QUOTE]

That track sort of annoys me until the ending, which is great.

[QUOTE=demon_hunter]Snakecharmer-Great snare work and often overlooked being between BoP and Down Rodeo[/QUOTE]
Snakecharmer is an excellent song, but I'm still convinced that Wind Below is the greatest. If you can convince me otherwise, I will be very impressed.

Hmm, i always liked the entire song, its probably my favorite off of Evil Empire

Evil Empire seems to always be the most talked about album by RATM on the forums.

....and yet its my 3rd favorite. I always liked BOLA the most. I cant find a weak song on it, even Born as Ghosts has some nice parts in it.

Wind Below is amazing... The solo, the riffs, the slow part the solo leads into then the explosive outro are incredible.
