Cool Plan B. I knew we had to have some more P-ballers here. Ever do the British March Of Death?

MK, why did this guy get banned?

Massik Kretal 09-07-2005 09:34 PM

He said "i got banned because my friend logged on and posted lemon party."

If you mean "Civil War", then yes!

You haven't played paintball until you've had a Civil War.

billdrum 09-07-2005 09:49 PM

Two teams face off 100 feet apart, each person gets one paintball in their gun. At the signal, everyone fires their one paintball. You can turn or duck, but you can't move from your position. Anyone hit is out. Move 25 feet closer, same process. Then 25 feet closer, repeat, etc. until one team is eliminated. Pretty scary when you get close in! That's our British March Of Death.

Plan B. 09-07-2005 10:06 PM

Haha yeah!

We only do it with teams of like 10 each though.

[QUOTE=styler].
our vocalist is a ferrety type of person...he constantly has to be looking through my stuff..moving something..playing with something....band is constantly f-ing around on my drums when i tell them not too..they constantly tell me how to drum to songs i made from scratch..they constantly start playing bass or guitar whenever i try to talk..or drums if im not constantly on them, and when they do hear me they completely blow it off, vocalist annoys me, bassist is too outgoing and has that "im better than you" type of thing going on..and i can live with the guitarist, hes a good guy[/QUOTE]


Dude that's like the same thing with my band. Our singer/ guitarist is a douche and never wants to jam. He can't sit still and always want to play drums. And instead of telling us that he is unhappy with the band, which i'm sure of, he just says ya sure fine and agrees with us but he doesn't do it all to convincingly.
My bassist is cool and I always hang out with him so he's cool and nothings wrong wit him.
My other guitarist is a cool guy too. At times he can be annoying cause he doesn't agree with you when you get into an argument and we both know he is wrong. He just digs a deeper hole and then when he has been proved wrong he just goes eh w/e who knows, or somthing along those lines. I don't really mind that but the one thing that pisses me off so much is that I say not to play my drums and he goes I know I know I won't, then goes into my room and starts playing. Like wtf dude I just said not too and then he tries to make up some reason why it doesn't matter if he plays but that never works to well. The only thing bad about him is that he doesn't respect my stuff, most of the time that is. Which is very annoying. I don't really have a problem with him though because we have been friends for a really long time and we have started to jam, well when we do, at the bassist house who got a really crappy set.

So how was everyones day? Mine was boring as hell, we didn't do anything in anyclass and tomorrow is going to be the same thing.

Jomofo 09-07-2005 10:11 PM

My day was pretty good. My schedule is as follows:
Drama, Film Studies, Biology, English.
It's pretty easy. Bio is kinda tough though...only because the teachers a mess. She just doesn't seem to know her stuff very well...and we kinda got thrown into the material too quickly. Probably won't be so bad as we get further into the year though.

rockindrummer 09-07-2005 10:27 PM

^ Cool, my schedual for tomorrow is french, science, band, socials in some order close to that.

Double Bass Jim 09-07-2005 10:28 PM

Film Studies that sounds interesting.

I know if I woulda went to college it woulda been for film FOR sure.

Jomofo 09-07-2005 10:33 PM

I wish I could have fit band in. I'm grade eleven right now, and the way they schedule band at my school is absolutely retarded. I won't even attempt to explain it.

Film studies is pretty intersting, Jim. The same guy that teaches my drama class teaches that class. It's basically the study of means of expressing ideas through film (obviously), including picture and sound. So far it's pretty cool; can't complain about a class where I get to watch movies! We're watching Raiders of the Lost Arc right now. :thumb:

rockindrummer 09-07-2005 10:38 PM

Yo jimmy, do you know how the banners got up at the top of threads? They are really annoying, you think you could somehow get em down?

Jomofo 09-07-2005 10:41 PM

Hey, just for fun, and because I'm bored, tell me some stuff about yourself, rockindrummer.
What music do you play? How long have you been drumming?

Double Bass Jim 09-07-2005 10:48 PM

[QUOTE=Massik Kretal]He said "i got banned because my friend logged on and posted lemon party."[/QUOTE]
Haha oldest trick in the book.

rockindrummer 09-07-2005 10:56 PM

well, my band plays modern rock I guess it would be. We are starting to play some stuff like apc, that type of genre. I've been drumming for just under 3 years now, I guess it would be. I havn't really taken it as seriously as I should have though so I am pretty pissed about that.

Anyway I gotta go, da[size=2]m[/size]n school tomorrow :angry: Talk to ya guys later.

styler 09-07-2005 10:57 PM

its official, im out of the band.

there picking up there amp pedals cords etc tomorow after my drum lesson..bassist got really mad at put the guitarist in a bad mood...i jus deleted all three band members off my msn..theyll never talk to me again anyway..oh well..blood's thicker than water right? ill finally get my technique back finally...woot!

Jomofo 09-07-2005 11:01 PM

Goodnight RD.

It's never really fun to leave on bitter terms, styler, but if that's how it goes, then that's how it goes. I'd say try to keep in touch with the guitar player if hes a good guy. Your band doesn't HAVE to sacrifice your technique. It's always fun and good for your drumming to have some people to jam with.

styler 09-07-2005 11:32 PM

yeah i completely agree, but they made me do things i cant do clean or properly, so i got into the habit of playing like that...either way, night mx, i got school in the morning

Jomofo 09-07-2005 11:36 PM

I'm might as well be off to bed, too. 'Night.

Voodoo Rabbit 09-08-2005 12:21 AM

Well, last night must have been quite a sight;

I was sitting in a room, doing something on a computer, when Someone came in and then went away again. I, now being distracted, looked up to the ceiling and saw 5 HUGE scary bugs. I procedded to jump up and grab a towel to squish them with. This method proved ineffective, as when I was hitting them, they were just being stunned and lying, as if dead, on the floor. Then if I went back to prod them, thould would get up and resume their scaryness.
Then I got a broom that I had used during one of the bands' shows and rounded two of the out of the door.
I had no other option left, than to kill the remainding three, and then went to bed.
----
This morning I came back into the room, and saw another one flying around everywhere.

I looked so silly, crouched in a corner fighting off these insects with a broom....

Double Bass Jim 09-08-2005 12:25 AM

[I]D[/I]amn... I hate bugs.

Win A Rabbit 09-08-2005 12:34 AM

man, i was planning on getting a good ngiht's sleep tonight. right after i posted here, i went to do my homework in bed, then go make my lunch for tomorrow and fall asleep at 10 at the latest. i fell asleep for 2 hours after doing 3 questions, and now i can't get to sleep. don't you hate when that happens? well i guess i'll go make my lunch now, then try to go to sleep. i think i'm going to ask my mom for sleeping pills tomorrow, because i don't think i can make it through a whole school year like this without failing. :lol:

Drum Phil 09-08-2005 12:42 AM

You sound like a prostitute talking about his/her pimp

Tim 09-08-2005 02:11 AM

so i went to the hidden in plain view concert tonite and didnt have to pay a cent for anything. i snuck in when the person left the door for some water so i got to see the whole show and i got a free shirt becuase i know someone that was selling them. good times man. it was a good free show. ha.

Double Bass Jim 09-08-2005 03:03 AM

Haha nice can't beat anything free! :cool:

Chris 09-08-2005 03:11 AM

I just thought that i would say that i had my first pratice with my new band last nite. I learnt 7 songs in 3 hours :D, and hopefully we will be playing gigs in a month.

PowerStamp 09-08-2005 03:14 AM

I've been re-uploading and editing songs for the past 4 hours lol

I messed with the bass EQ on the actual tape recorder and got the bass to come out sounding much better than it did before, same for guitar.
Currently trying to cut down on some fuzzy noise on our show-ender song lol

[url]http://www.myspace.com/lufthansaheist[/url]

"Hold it Down" and "No Donnie" (Evergreen Terrace cover, which the band themselves enjoyed! lol) are "remastered" lol, currently re-mastering Punchout.
*Edit, and I think I'm just about done with it, JUST ABOUT lol*

Chris 09-08-2005 03:18 AM

On Hold On, put the guitar further up the mix, it will sound better i think.

PowerStamp 09-08-2005 03:24 AM

really? Hm. I'll try that, I haven't really re-uploaded that song yet, just did some editing to it. I think you're right though, because about halfway you hear the guitar get suddenly a bit louder, I bumped it up a bit and it does sound a bit better.

:D

Voodoo Rabbit 09-08-2005 10:55 AM

I'm not too* sure but I think a a guy tried to ask me out today. It was really noisy, so I'm not all that sure what he said. At first it sounded like 'Will you be the drummer in my band?'. He asked again, but I still didn't hear him, and the last word didn't sound like 'band', more like 'girlfriend'. Then he said ' It dosn't matter, I'll ask you at lunch'.

This guy is notorious for asking girls out a lot. So I spent my lunch-time hiding from him. However, I think I may be blowing this out of proportion.

Ugh, what possesed him to go and do that?
