[QUOTE=Mister_Che]My drummer bitc.hed at me for getting a guitar instead of an amp for my bass. We have enough amps, I don't see why he must talk down to me. Dam.n is it just me or is it hard to find a band where you get along well with everyone in it?[/QUOTE]

It's not just you. People have different tastes and ther're always ready to argue about anything. Luckily, I'm in a very good relationship with our drummer. We've first met when my family moved near the place he lives. We both were 12 years old then and now it's been already 7 years since we've become frineds.

So it's mostly that guitarist/singer who kind of drives me mad. He's not a bad friend to spend time with, but he doesn't know what is to be responsible. We're paying to that place's owner for every 2 hours of jamming. So I'm like: Dude, I'm giving money you know, let's make as much useful as we can......but he's still walking on clouds :evil:

Our singer is has been my best friend for close to 4 years (he's changed recently, so we aren't as good frineds as we were before). But this is what annoys me.

[SIZE=4]HE REFUSES TO SING UNLESS HE'S STARING AT A WALL AND WE ARE TURNED THE OTHER WAY!![/SIZE]

Defenitely annoying. I can't stand it!

That is definately a pathetic singer if he can't sing while people watch.
Get rid of him because he's severely going to slow your band down.

We did once. Actually he quit before we could fire him because he said we didn't do any work. THE GUYS WITH THE INSTRUMENTS WHO PLAY THE WHOLE SONG THROUGH WAITING FOR HIM TO SING DIDN'T DO ANY WORK!! But now he's back. I didn't want him, but the other guys say we are in desperate need. And I can't argue that right now, because it's true. :angry:

I say if your going to play music, then do it the right way. Dont play music just because you think you have to. Explain to them how the singer is going to hold you back. The singer is the frontman who gets the crowd pumped and if he cant even sing while his own band watches him then hes hopeless.

Good point. Personally, I'm in this band for fun. But everyone else really wants to make a career out of it. This doesn't mean I don't take it seriously thoug, I do put a lot of effort into the creative process, both music and lyric-wise on all the instruments.

Glad to hear, where are you from?

[QUOTE=^Dream~Theater^]Glad to hear, where are you from?[/QUOTE]

Houston Texas. We are the only Metal band in the school. The other 6 (yes 6) bands in our school are either punk, ska, or emo. And there is such a huge demand for Metal bands right now. My band (Incognito) and two other bands in the school play Metal, but we don't have the halfstacks and the money to play at clubs like these other bands do.

It's not our fault that our mommy's and daddy's don't buy us a $2500 PRS.

(As is the situation with one of the other bands.)

My mom was telling me this funny story about Texas. She said that the weather turned to 0 degree's and they closed the schools LMFAO.
It seems like most americans dont know what real cold is and think that a little breeze is a blizzard, soooooo pathetic. It's -50 here by the way.
I agree with the mommmy's&Daddy's bit, i seen my friends girlfriend get a convertible for her 16th birthday, stuff like that makes me sick.
Sorry to hear about the lack of metal in your community dude

In our area most bands are metal, but at our school most are ska or like reggae/punk. and the metal bands suck. I'm looking for a band though, but I highly doubt there's anyone who wants to play glam metal

- The lack of Metal, sad, sad indeed.

- About the 0 degrees thing, I wouldn't know, it didn't happen in my district.

- Weatherwise, it snowed on christmas eve and I was sweating outside 4 days later.

- The guy across the street got his daughter a Corvette Stingray for her 16th.

Ha, my area has two metal bands. Mine and a very good death metal band. Everyone else plays either alternative or hardcore/metalcore/punk stuff.

Haha that man must be very shy. That's not goog though. Our singer/guitarist is a sick monkey. When he sings too high or low i.e makes a mistake, he'll stare at with an angry face as if we did something wrong.

I even remember 2 or 3 weeks ago, during jamming our singer couldn't concentrate on singing Fade To Black and it was getting worse and worse (he didn't warp up enough) and finally he went too high completely ruining the song.

Can you imagine what he did???

He stopted playing and shouted into the mic to our drummer: You fvcking idiot what the hell are you doing??? and then threw his pick into drummer's face.

The drummer couldn't endure that anymore (yes, everyone always blames only them) so he immediately jumped on the singer beating him. I swear if I didn't interfier the singer would be cut into pieces.

It's cool though........they forgot that thing in 10 minutes and went on jamming :p

it snowed and people thought it was the apocalypse

In the city I live (in Asia), we're pretty much the only Heavy Metal band(we never performed). There's also one nu-metal band. All the rest are Black Metal bands. I'm fcving sick of them. There are about 10 or 15 BM bands here. When I go to some local shows all I see are those BM guys screaming something into the mic, horrible bass sound and a sweaty-smelly drummer. Those guys are so funny. They wear leather pants with lots of needles and bracelets and paint their faces :)

:lol: yea i saw that too it was battle for ozzfest

oh funny guy

always funny

sometimes funny

fine but isnt this a metallica thread what happened?

Man, im currently listening to Pantera's "Cemetary Gates." If Metallica's new material bares any likeness I'll be a very happy man. Such a good song.

[QUOTE=iliketoplaydrums10111]amen

can someone suggest more songs from metallica that are decent besides

master of puppets
fade to black
the one
enter sandman
the unforgivin

i know there is more, those are just the ones im familiar with:)[/QUOTE]



This brings up a good point no offense to anyone out there but people who only list songs like these,(good songs no matter how many times they are played on the radio) are what i like to call Metalli-posers. If you want a good metallica song, Listen to Kill 'em all through Justice, yes the black albulm and anything else

sorry my replies are delayed by almost two years

Wow man, excuse him if he's just getting into the band. Keep in mind we've all had limited exposure to metallica at one time or another.

has anyone used that option on the metallica website that allows you to download any concert from the past few years? i saw it and thought it must be shotty quality, anyone used it?

you should be happy...in this place i dont know somebody who doesnt like pop or crapy rap. their always saing to me "you listening to satan music"
"you dont have taste" "its cant be heared by normal people" etc...very annoying...

a few peopel from this forum have used it I'm sure, try flicking back through a few pages of this thread.

sorry for the bad english...anyway, its hard for me to translate it but here is something that was on an isreali news paper (i hope youll understand my almost english...) it was published a few weeks ago:
"metallica is about to release an E.P. called "some kind of monster" the soundtrack of their movie. it will include 8 tracks-6 of them are live preformences (11 june 2003 paris) the four horseman, motorbreath,hit the lights,ride the lightnings,damage inc and (a song from "muster of puppets" that i do not know how to write)
you will find in the disc an original version of some kind of monster (from st. anger) and a special remix of it. if you will insert the disc to your p.c. you will be able to watch trailers of the movie. a true fan of metallica will be glad to hear those new versions to the old heavy classics and james mumbeling words in frence"
last week another information about metallica was published saying that soon you will be able to buy dolls of the members of the group with their instruments and stuff. this set will be called "muster of puppets playset"
hope you got the point of what i was trying to say......:(

I got the rough jist of it, thanks :)
