I reserve the right to call my child "Warbrain" whether male or female.

:lol:

Warbrain is such a good song.

God, i'm not as impressed with the Crimson deluxe verison as a thought i'd be.

: /

i like it, but it doesn't seem as good as it could be

I really wish Warbrain was on Crimson, I might have enjoyed it a lot more then. I'm also so glad I got to hear it live, twas awesome!

I think they played it at the Bristol show, but I was concentrating too much on not passing out.


Lol.

[QUOTE=Ostrich Man]Anyone know any Alk3 songs with Glenn Porter on drums?

I know he was in the original line-up, but i'm not sure how long he was there before being replaced with Derek.[/QUOTE]

anything from the CDs "Maybe I'll Catch Fire" "Goddamnit" and "S/T" the self titled has a cassette tape on the cover...then "From Here To Infirmary" had Mike Felumlee of the Smoking Popes on drums...then he left and they got several guys to play with them live...i think Atom Willard from The Offspring played with them for a little bit, but never recorded with them...then they did "Good Mourning" and "Crimson" along with i think both the splits with Derek Grant and they've had him since then...

Glenn's style is more raw sounding to me...he's really quick and amazingly talented, but nothing is really consistant on drums...he probably just wrote by ear rather than actually writting his stuff down and improvised a bit during recording...Felumlee and Grant are more structured drummers i guess is the best way to put it...they have a consistant beat and the only improvisation is maybe in the fills...they easily could have written those too though

as far as i know, nobody knows what happened to Glenn after he left the trio...and i personally dont know where he came from either...which is surprising cause he's a beast on drums

Thanks for the info man,

I'll DL some stuff from MICF, Goddamnit and their S/T. Any recommendations?

Anything really. Both albums are brilliant.

I strongly suggest Clavicle and My little needle, though.

Oh and Radio, You've got so far to go, and Sleepyhead.

Cheers man.

I've heard Radio before. It was my favourite song for a long time. What do you guys think of it?

Radio is fun to play on guitar.

All on Black is fun to play on the bass.

both are very fun to play

definately get Clavicle, My Little Needle, Nose Over Tail, '97, Cringe, Cop, Cooking Wine, Exploding Boy (best cover i've ever heard alk3 do), Sundials, Maybe I'll Catch Fire (the song)....and really anything from any of the 3 cds...just look up the discography and get random songs from each cd...and if u like them, buy the cds to support the worlds most amazing band

and anything alk3 is fun on drums...and what i can play on bass is fun...alk3 used to be all i played on bass and radio is one of the only 2 songs i can play on guitar...the other is redemption song by bob

[QUOTE=Oz Rembrandt]All on Black is fun to play on the bass.[/QUOTE]

My band play that [I play bass/sing] - Cool song :thumb:

[QUOTE=HitHardDrums55] Exploding Boy (best cover i've ever heard alk3 do)[/QUOTE]

Have you heard "The Metro", originally by Berlin? I think thats their best cover ever. The bassline replaces the keyboard part perfectly.

@ Radish Boy - Yup, I used to play bass and sing in a band, but I couldn't get over stage fright, and my lyrics were sucky. Now I play straight out bass, and I'm much happier that way.

All on Black is one of my favourite Alk3 songs.

oh yeah i totally forgot the metro was a cover...i think it maybe ties with exploding boy

The Metro is certainly my favourite cover... at least, at the moment.

[QUOTE=allofmeoliveme]Radio is fun to play on guitar.[/QUOTE]

That's the first thing I play when I pick up a guitar. :D

Its useful for checking if your in tune

Haha, that's true.

It was one of the first songs I learnt to play by ear.

I actually have never heard the CD version of Radio. Only live acoustics.

radio is overplayed and all, but i still love it...weird...and its the only song i can play all the way through on guitar right now...when i master bass i'll learn guitar...and keys at the same time!

i'm getting a keyboard for christmas, so if i ever learn how to play time to waste i might do an all keys/vocals version of it...if i get it recorded decently i'll post it

You are quite the musician, aren't you?

I'd love to learn Time to Waste, but I'm just too lazy to keep playing the song over and over. And besides, my piano is out of tune. Grrgh.

I'm learning it off of Powertabs, but since its tabbed out for guitar, I have to keep transposing it down an octave. It get's annoying.

If it does it like that, then what you should do is write all the note names down, then play it on a piano. It'd be easier to find the right octave.

Hrm, maybe I'll try that.

I can play the keyboard for Time to Waste! Its muchos fun. Hope your good at working both hands independantly though.

w00t for piano lessons as a child!

I can't play the piano to save my life.

I used to have piano lessons. Oz, do you have the sheet music for it?

I do not, but I think it was posted in the Keyboard section. Go search!

haha being a drummer my HANDs work independently...but my fingers...not so much...my friend zac who can play time to waste is going to teach me when i get my keyboard or if i go to his house before christmas i guess he'll teach me then...sounds hard as crap to me, but it'd be fun to learn...

i got the crimson delux edition cd...i converted my mom into an alk3 fan with it...she wants me to burn her a copy of it...i dont know why some people didnt like it? i thought it was amazing...did the keys sound darker or heavier or whatever? or is it just me?

but yeah i've converted like 6 people into alk3 fans...both my parents (my mom with crimson delux edition, even though i got crimson like the day it came out and my dad when i went to see them and i had an extra ticket because my brother had one but got kicked out of the house...i had 2 extras and could only find one kid who had heard them that was in town at the time, so my dad used the other ticket and loved the show), my best friend and her little sister...she went out of town to visit family and bought crimson on the way and told me it was the best cd she had ever bought...and a kid in my neighborhood and this girl who used to obsess over like 6 guys including me last school year...im proud of myself

If they love Crimson, they're going to be absolutely creaming over other albums.

im more than likely getting my best friend a few older trio albums for christmas if i can gather some money before then...if not i'll have to burn em for her

and i finally got my alk3 dvd back from whoever the hell had it...im gonna watch it tonight

anybody heard the alk3 version of Lucretia My Reflection on the Suicide Girls compilation?
