I stay up everynight until about midnight and then get up at 5:45. I get no sleep at all, but I usually make up for it on Saturday by sleeping the entire day

NP: Iced Earth - Wolf

I'll alternate days playing guitar or sleeping until 11 PM, then chill and do homework or whatever until 2 in the morning, sleep til 7, rinse and repeat. Not really what I want to happen, but its how my time has been working out.

I just play when i feel like it.

I go to bed around 11-12. Get up at about 7:50 (30 mins before school starts :-\)

I'm one of those guys that doesn't feel like he's played enough if its not 5+ hours.

I'm the opposite. My attention span isn't long enough for guitar. Usually I just pick the guitar up and play riffs/songs. Excercises for the most part bore me.

i have to practice everyday for at least 5-6hour else i get very bored i think its pretty much got to be a way of live

Horrorscope finally came today very good not too sure if its better then the years of decay either way it kicks ***.

Horrorscope is my favourite Overkill! :thumb:

woah you all play guitar for ages :eek:

No wonder i'm so bad.... i play for about 30 mins a day.

Yeah same here. For me its either 5+ hours or nothing, I feel incomplete if I don't get through the whole of what I need to practice. Like 3-4 of that is technique, 1 on new material, and 1 on writing and theory and ear.

I've got it down to a way where I don't lose interest either. I don't have the longest attention span, but I'll practice for 50 minutes then take a 10 minute break, rinse and repeat. Plus my leg starts falling asleep after that long too.

I play guitar until I get tired, which means I play for hours on end.

I play drums........
/misfit

I play bass if I'm not doing homework, that used to be about 8 hours a day, latley it's been like 4 though.

Anyone else notice that you actually play better after a break of not practicing? When I went on vacation for a week I came back and to my surprise, my alt picking was way faster.

That's happened to me a few times. I hit a three string sweep after two days of not playing, it was awesome.

Its never made my sweeping better unfortunately. Sweeping is one of those things for me that I have to constantly practice it, or I get rusty really fast.

After that one incident, the same rang true for me. Right now I'm learning arpeggios left and right.

Sweeping comes easy for me. :D

It took me a lot of practice to get it down at first, but now I'm decent at it.

Lucky you. :p

NP: Judas Priest - Jugulator

I wonder when we're going to be able to see The Alliance of Hellhoundz video clip >.>;

I'm curious on how it came out.

They were making a video? Awesome.

NP: Motorhead - Fight ([i]Inferno[/i] is great, everyone pick it up if you haven't. It's just as good as the other essential Motorhead LPs)

As far as I know, it's under production >_<.

I need to hold off on the music for a while. I can't wait to get that Sodom DVD though.

By the description of it, sounds like it will be KICK[B]***[/B]!

Is Sodom's tour still on?

[QUOTE=MAthiAS]Is Sodom's tour still on?[/QUOTE]

I'd like to go. According to what I had read about Finntroll, it was still on.

I heard some Finntroll though already. Funny stuff. I just want to get in the middle and start kicking everyone trying to dance to polka-metal :lol:

[QUOTE=MAthiAS]Is Sodom's tour still on?[/QUOTE]

Well if you even want to consider it a tour. They are playing like 6 or 7 dates all on the East Coast, which I'm pissed about, because I told this really awesome chick that I would take her to see the show because she loves Finntroll and I love Sodom, but I guess that dosen't get to happen, because I'm on the West Coast :angry:

Whereabout on the West Coast?

This is one of the few times I'm glad to be on the East Coast :D

Sacramento, California a.k.a. "Sactown", "Testicle Town", "The Capital that no one cares about", "Over shadowed by LA and SF", "Emo Heaven", and last but not least "Gay"

Yeah, pretty lame here

I thought that was here...

That sucks though man, I was hoping you'd be in the Bay Area.

I don't know how people can practice for more than an hour at once. The most I've practiced in a day is like 2 hours, and the most at once was about 1 hour. I do play drums though, so maybe it's different than guitarists

well 30 mins is only an estimate. I just pick it up and play whever i'm bored/feel like playing a song, rather than setting myself out a specific amount of time for playing.

I learned how to play a few phrases from the opening solo to 'One Shot At Glory' today. :chug:

That is an awesome song. I wish there were guitarist like you people around here. The most common thing people want to play is hardcore.

That's the most common thing most places I think. It is here too, anyway.

There are tons of horrible bands, and 1 or 2 good ones, which last I heard were split up. :(

I want to start a band, but nobody agrees with my musical tastes :p.

I checked out Exhorder and I think they're pretty good so far.

[i]Slaughter In The Vatican[/i] = awesome.

Yeah, its amazing how much Pantera ripped off Exhorder.

[QUOTE=Terrorzone]Yeah, its amazing how much Pantera ripped off Exhorder.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, down to Kyle Thomas's vocals and everything. Though, they ripped off [i]The Law[/i] more than anything. I can't hear anything in Pantera's music that sounds like it could've been on SitV.

Yeah, thats because SITV is ****ing brutal thrash and Pantera is pseudo-thrash that can't touch the greatness achieved on that album.

[QUOTE=RCA][i]Slaughter In The Vatican[/i] = awesome.[/QUOTE]
Indeed.

I used to like Pantera when I first discovered metal, but I soon grew away from that. They're okay now and then, but they definitly don't come CLOSE to touching this album. :)

/on the second listen.

I think I shall give it a spin! :D

Excellent. :)

Hydra Vein is next, followed by maybe some Vio-lence or Mekong Delta.

/on a thrash rampage.

MEKONG DELTA! I <3 them.
