not sure. My friend is borrowing/ is gonna buy my recording equipment (GNX4 + microphone)

my singer and i are going to the shop tomorrow to possible purchase something actually. If i can find anything to record with, ill just record the hard bits and post them.


edit : if i say i "nailed" a section, i really did. I know the difference anyway.

I finally "nailed" my favorite part of the song. Not the taps, those were easy. Im talking about the fast descending run after the chorus theme. Here, i was playing it in triplets, which essentially is correct, but if you listen to the recording, he actually phrases the passages in sextuplets. Once i realized that, the light bulb went on, and i get excited whenever i play it

I haven't actually listened to Children of Bodom in a few weeks. I've been so busy doing college work, and downloading crap from other bands etc. And practising for a performance, I should get back to it though 'cause they're great.

i have always phases when i listen a lot to cob then i don't listen to them for several weeks.

Same with me...still haven't gotten back into COB mode yet. It's been mostly trying to write my own music recently.

I've dropped writing my own music. It got old.
So has guitar though. I still enjoy playing, but it's not the same.
Got a new geetar though
ESP H-250 and it's autographed by Megadeth (I like em somewhat, though it's surely an excellent resale (if I ever sold the guitar).

I rarely have the urge to write original material.

i fail in writting whole songs... i have always an idea, write it in GP4, but then i fail making the interludes and build the whole song... to make it longer, to write some more riffs which would fit into the song, etc.

mostly i write one riff, maybe two - put them together and thats all. :-/ most "songs" i wrote are not longer than 15seconds

i just discovered a band from graz (a city some 100km away from vienna). the singer/guitarist is 18 years old, keyboarder 14 or 15yrs old.
they are really nice, though i only listened to one song by them ... and they sound like CoB :)

There seems to be some potential There/

yeah, they seem to be great. though i have to say that they are some mistakes on the song , but i'm not sure... curious what Mitch and Kurrpt will say to the song.

i will stay in contact with the lead-guitarist/singer of the band ... its amazing how i discovered them. i already asked him how i can purchase their cd

That band is pretty good. I like them more than CoB actually.

do not hyperbolic

the riff from 2:15 till 2:23 is taken from kalmah... can you hear the similarities? its not exactly the same riff, but the same chords and timing.

So only Kalmah can play in (fill in the timing)?

no, but the riff was very similar to a riff by kalmah (don't know which song); they didn't "stole" it 100%, but its nearly the same riff - they mixed it up a little bit.

They're ok imo.

The lead bit at 11 secs sounds like it's taken from Downfall and modified a bit.

I agree it sounds a lot like Kalmah, not really like Bodom if you ask me. I mean it's the same instruments and screaming but the whole atmosphere isn't the same.

I actually like this band way more than Kalmah, Bodom, etc. The vocals are awesome, very black metalish.

Hey Wotan or fannk castle did you ever go to your guitar center and find out what that keyboard stand is called?

I haven't been to that one in a while, sorry man. Check this out though: [url]http://www.musiciansfriend.com/key/navigation?N=100001+304711[/url]

I went through the Slient Night, Bodom Night solo today and got it pretty close. I can do all of it except the run from the low E to the high E, bend the 24th fret bit.
And I have to freshen up on a few notes but apart from that it was close.

My guitar/size makes that solo hard.

I can understand that.

I was going through it on my Warlock so it felt easy, but if I was to record it, I'd use my RG770 which has an old neck joint so I can hardly reach the 24th fret, let alone bending it up 1 1/2 steps easily with vibrato

Wow. I put new strings on my geetar. haha. It's soo amazing.

I haven't re-strung my guitar for about two months. I need to though, the high e has that weird shaky sound when I hold out a note, especially on higher frets.

I can't believe that's your avatar. I haven't changed the guitar strings for one of my guitars, ever.

I've changed the strings on my acoustic once in the three years I've had it.
