Radio is fun to play on guitar.

Oz Rembrandt 12-09-2005 06:43 PM

All on Black is fun to play on the bass.

life of a dog 12-09-2005 08:49 PM

both are very fun to play

HitHardDrums55 12-09-2005 09:14 PM

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

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.

Angry Balled Fists! 12-10-2005 04:57 AM

All on Black is one of my favourite Alk3 songs.

HitHardDrums55 12-10-2005 07:25 AM

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

Oz Rembrandt 12-10-2005 03:11 PM

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

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

Oz Rembrandt 12-10-2005 04:31 PM

Its useful for checking if your in tune

Bad Blood 12-10-2005 04:33 PM

Haha, that's true.

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

DJ Ducksauce 12-10-2005 08:17 PM

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

HitHardDrums55 12-10-2005 09:48 PM

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

Chilly-Bean-Bop 12-10-2005 10:03 PM

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.

Chilly-Bean-Bop 12-10-2005 10:10 PM

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.

Oz Rembrandt 12-11-2005 06:00 AM

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!

Bad Blood 12-11-2005 06:17 AM

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

poprocks&coke 12-11-2005 11:57 AM

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

Oz Rembrandt 12-11-2005 12:05 PM

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

HitHardDrums55 12-11-2005 12:39 PM

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

Bad Blood 12-11-2005 12:48 PM

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

HitHardDrums55 12-11-2005 01:11 PM

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

HitHardDrums55 12-11-2005 06:41 PM

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