[QUOTE]5. How much was Dean dominating your sound?[/QUOTE]
Dean's been playing for 2 years, ok... first thing when I joined the band, he said "Don't write anything too hard for me to play".

He also recorded ALL of my rhythm parts on the 7-song EP...all wrong, as well.

"Cover My Eyes" is pretty much the only WAT song I've written completely, and I've even toned THAT song down because I don't want any bitching about "oh it's too hard", which is really stupid, yeah, but you have no idea how much Dean sucks and doesn't want to improve.

Buried In Ashes...just picture an old CoB-esque band with more progressive and more melodic leanings.

[QUOTE]I couldn't help but hear TEB at the same time[/QUOTE]

Wow, that's weird. I have never really listened to them, aside from the time WAT played a show with them and even then the sound was horrible.

Why'd you start a band with someone who's of such lackluster skill? I mean, if you and the rest of guys are so far above him. Isn't he kinda holding back what you're capable of?

I don't know which song I heard, it was the one on myspace. How hard is your stuff to play, or is it a combo of him sucking and it being more than basic?

TEB has horrid live mixing. They played very well when I saw them, but their mixing was just a wall of sound.

I didn't mean in terms of riff rip offs or w/e. The sound just brought that too mind and sounded like something off a TEB record. That's how it struck me, that's all I can say. I like TEB, btw. NP actually.

I didn't start a band with him, I joined said band because for the time being, that band was the only band that didn't want to play breakdowns/wank chords 24/7 and I thought maybe I could help progress said lackluster skills. And yes, he was holding back what we were capable of. Immensely.

[QUOTE]Why did he do your parts? btw. Define wrong? [/QUOTE]

Because he's a douche.

and by wrong, I mean he played my parts that I wrote extremely wrong. I heard the recordings and I said "dude you're playign that wrong, if you're going to play my parts, at least play them RIGHT or I'll re-record them myself" (since I couldn't really bitch because it's Dean's band he wants to be Dave Mustaine blablabla)...and he said "OK, I'll re-record it". Well when it came down to that time, he just said "oh well we'll keep what we have".

Douchebaggery.

[QUOTE]I don't know which song I heard, it was the one on myspace. How hard is your stuff to play, or is it a combo of him sucking and it being more than basic? [/QUOTE]

That's the song. And the stuff I write...I wouldn't say it is hard because I'm used to playing, I've been playing just about 7 years so some things come natural to me when writing. But to an intermediate, it may provide a challenge, because I usually write more "complex" metal, not dumbed down 80's buttrock.

[QUOTE]If you've got tunes and one, myspace linkage? [/QUOTE]

I have some guitar tracks laid down on my friend's Pandora 4-track just so I can remember it and give it to the rest of the guys to look at and think over, but we haven't got anything recorded YET. Maybe in the next few months.

We do have a myspace right now though, which seems kinda pointless but oh well.

What the hell? I assume he had tabs or learned the parts? Could you post a tab bit of something he fukked up, if you've got any handy.
I mean, Dave did some catchy stuff, but he's not a guitar god. Far from it.

Luke and I are. I don't know what Tim will do. We probably won't have him in the band since he hasn't shown to be very reliable lately and is impossible to reach. It's a shame cause he is such a damn good drummer.

Ehh. That's how things go.

btw. What tuning do you play in(when you write) ?

When I write, I tune to DGCFAD (low to high) because that's just such a heavy, chunky tuning for metal.

But WAT plays in standard E because again, Dean says so.

hahhaahahahah! E is gay.

I'm almost always tuned to DGCFAd, as Bodom plays mostly in that as do most of the songs I play.

I'll admit, I love CGCFAD. Sometimes I'll go C# but I hate that tuning. That's a brutal tuning btw. (C#).

E is very gay.

And any drop D-ish tuning bores me.

[QUOTE=ICB]E is very gay.

E is ultra gay!

What's wrong with Drop C? What makes it boring? I'd say it can limit your options, but at the same time, it'll have advantages over a standard tuning.

I just get bored with writing in said tunings easily. I don't know, I guess Drop D/C/Z/X#flat whatever just represents ultra laziness to me. Which is ironic since im ultra lazy but you know what I mean.

You can play,

C3
G3
D1

Or
C3
G3
C3

The latter sounds heavier, that's about it.

Even though they're pretty much the same chord.

:p

That was my exact point. The CGC barre chord sounds a bit heavier, that was all I'm saying.

AMG ME TOO!!! :chug:

I don't care muc for drop tunings either, anymore. For some reason it just seems...cheap, in a way. I love a good metal tuning, but I'd much rather play in a variation of standard.

/is 18 in 6 months :upset:

I was 18 about six months ago :o

I don't mind drop tunings, but it depends on the band. Slayer, for example, is best in Eb but Carcass sounds great in low tunings.

I don't really care either way. I never think to myself, wow this band would sound way better with a lower/higher tuning. Unless they used to tune lower/higher, and sounded better.

[QUOTE]I never think to myself, wow this band would sound way better with a lower/higher tuning. Unless they used to tune lower/higher, and sounded better.[/QUOTE]
I agree.

Slayer is a perfect example.

Nah, it would just make their guitar sound thinner than it already is.

I think they should go back to D standard rather than drop C though. They have a tendency to chug in drop C.

Silence Jono, Children of Bodom's guitar is the opposite if thin. :mad:

*takes out handaxe*

@ Toaster: they're just as capable of chugging in D as they are in drop C. The tuning fits the sound they want. I don't think the tuning dictates what they play; more like the other way around.

wow... i'm online again :eek:

the whole network crashed on saturday... two hole days without the internet! but it still very slow... :(

[QUOTE=Toaster]I think they should go back to D standard rather than drop C though. They have a tendency to chug in drop C.[/QUOTE]

But then again, who doesn't?

Even when I pick up a guitar in "drop..." I just chug chug chug, and how many bads are there that do that in Drop C nowadays...

That's my reason for not liking drop tunings as much. I write alot of my songs in C# or D standard.

Yeah you're right, but when they played in D they didn't chug. Which leads me to think that Alexi one day said "hey guyz lets do some chuggin in c", dropped his guitar down to C, and started writing chug-a-lug songs. :p

I liked their songs more in D.

Somehow I doubt he said that. :p

hhahaa yeah Even though most of Nightwish is basic guitar wise, I like it.

Sometimes you just need the atmosphere. And when you've got that much stuff going on, simple is better.

Hmm. Planet Hell wasn't hard when I played it. Which is harder, in your opinion?

Now that I'm thinking about it, Planet Hell might be harder. Even though GLS has an odder time signature, the riffing in that is pretty straightforward, whilst in Planet Hell, there's a few interesting patterns.
