I want my band to sound like Paint it Black or Outbreak.

I have no one around here who would be willing to start a hardcore band with me except 1 friend who isn't good at any instrument.

I've always wanted a band like Carry On/Go It Alone/Allegiance but these guys randomly asked me yesterday if I want to play with them so I took the chance..

The BF bars from Damaged would make a sweet tatoo.

The hardest thing ever is finding someone to do vocals. We can't find anyone and when we do, things always fall through.

Vocals are the easiest thing, anyone can scream. Drums is the hardest since no one plays them......at all. Bass is easy aslong as someone who plays guitar is willing to play bass.

But if he sucks I might switch out with him, because he's a really awesome guitar player and I think I could turn the band into more of an old school thing with my voice.

There is no one around here who would want to start a hardcore band. The last band that I was in for a month was basically my friend using Kill Switch Engage songs and changing the lyrics, with me playing drums crappily.

I'm gonna sort of re-start a band with my friend over the summer. But it probably won't be a hardcore band even though we're both into hardcore.

I should be changing out my strings and working on some stuff to play at the next practice...but I'm lazy. Hahah.

Depends really on what you want the scream to sound like. I think it would be hard to scream like the singer for The Breakout for example.

Hahah, you should have heard his voice originally. Most people can devlop that kind of voice though.

I really want to start a band, but everything I write is boring and generic or I ripped off a band and didn't realize it.

I never knew you played guitar, Shane.

If I could do something, it would be for me to do vocals and get someone else to play guitar since i'm not good anyway. Vocalists always look like they're having the most fun since they get to interact with everybody moreso then everybody else in the band.

Move close to me and I'll play guitar.

Hit the Deck are pretty good shane, but fairly generic

Exactly. A lot of good riffs I write I find out I just stole them from a song I like.

That was pretty much what it was like with his kid in my old band except not unintentionally. It was "his band" so he got to chose what everything else had to be like. The original bassist quit after a day because this kid was trying to force him to just play the exact same riffs he was playing on his guitar. Needless to say, everyone got pretty tired of him.

I really like doing vocals, but whenever I got in front of anyone else(outside the band), I became selfconscious and did horrible. I'm not very good at guitar either though, plus I suck at writing. I can learn most songs, it just takes me soooo long.

I need to learn to write non-generic things. I should start a new genre. How does Surfcore sound? Dick Dale meets Ensign.

Who wants to send me the Modern Life Is War cd on AIM?

Im doing yells for a band right now playing a house show next month.

Reiner, when you joined that band, did you have to try out or did they just know that you were a guitar god and had you join? I'm wondering because I want to try out for this band in another town, and I'm really not sure what I am supposed to do to tryout. Should I play some songs that I already know, or am I going to have to try to learn one of their songs?

I should just work on a scream/yell over the next few months and join an established band ready to play shows and stuff. I'm not good enough on guitar unless I play in some old school band.

Well I'm friends with all the kids that were in the band and they knew I was the next best guitarist in the area so they just asked me. If your going to play for them odds are you'll need to learn their songs. If your trying out I suppose just like jam with them. Try and play a few songs everyone knows so they can hear how you sound playing along with a band. Maybe play one song to kind of show off your ability.

Reiner, did you write the songs that you guys had recorded? Because guitar wise, I don't think they were bad at all.

Nah I didn't write any songs. I wasn't in the band for that long. Just a few months till they broke up.

oh god

Who pays 20 dollars for a t-shirt.

You people need to move to NJ so I can start a band.

That would be a sick band if we all lived near each other.

The other day, my friend came over to my house and told me that he saw the "Hardcore Album of 2005" at Walmart. I was really surprised.

The closest person is CB who lives like an hour away and then Newkind lives like an hour and a half.

Does anyone here actually play drums?

What album?

Wake The Dead.

haha that's not the best album of '05. I got it at a huge chain music shop. Just wait Go It Alone,Blue Monday and Allegiance are all releasing LP's.

That could work, but I doubt it.

Best album of 2005 so far is Paint it Black-Paradise and I predict it will stay that way, maybe 2nd best by the end of the year.

Haha. Hour and a half is a bit far for practice.
