I'm admittedly not the biggest Converge fan in the world - though Dark Horse rips.

witchxrapist 05-24-2010 06:01 PM

What about songs like Homewrecker, Heaven In Her Arms, The Broken Vow, The Saddest Day, etc.?

Scoot 05-24-2010 06:03 PM

The Converge songs I have on my iPod: Dark Horse, Eagles Become Vultures, Homewrecker, Phoenix in Flight :/

I'll try some more though. Not really a fan of the vocals.

witchxrapist 05-24-2010 06:05 PM

Not even on Homewrecker?

Dimmu Burger 05-24-2010 06:06 PM

It takes a lot to enjoy those vocals. Very intense.

Endangered Oddity 05-24-2010 06:07 PM

Botch.

Scoot 05-24-2010 06:07 PM

Not really, no. I guess they just aren't my thing.

I'm a bit of a production whore, though, so that's most likely why. It's the reason why I don't like much black metal.

witchxrapist 05-24-2010 06:07 PM

Dude. Jacob's vocals on the old material are God tier.

but when you learn to appreciate 'em they're just soooo good.

But that's true for most bands that scream.

witchxrapist 05-24-2010 06:12 PM

A lot of screamers are just ugh.

Scoot 05-24-2010 06:14 PM

[QUOTE=witchxrapist;17999373]A lot of screamers are just ugh.[/QUOTE]

I think it depends on whether they're doing it correctly or not.

Also, inhale screaming ftl

witchxrapist 05-24-2010 06:32 PM

Disagree.

Exactly. I got into Converge after much effort and it's so worth it.

Scoot 05-24-2010 07:14 PM

I uptuned Sleepwalkers using Audacity and it sounds way better.

I just plain don't like anything lower than C.

Dimmu Burger 05-24-2010 07:37 PM

Lame. I love me some super downtuned juns.

RetiredAt21 05-24-2010 07:40 PM

Super downtuned juns really do it for me sometimes.

Dimmu Burger 05-24-2010 07:43 PM

I like to throw on some Impending Doom and just bro out.

2muchket! 05-24-2010 07:44 PM

Down turn yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooo

RetiredAt21 05-24-2010 07:44 PM

Pretty sure I'm tuned to c right now.

Dimmu Burger 05-24-2010 07:45 PM

I'm usually in drop C, but I did drop B for a little while just for fun. It was br00tal

RetiredAt21 05-24-2010 07:46 PM

My guitar sounded awful in b, strings were all flobbidy and whatnot.

Dimmu Burger 05-24-2010 07:46 PM

I play really thick strings so it wasn't too bad for me.

Scoot 05-24-2010 07:47 PM

A# is just awful

Dimmu Burger 05-24-2010 07:48 PM

yeah I wouldn't go below B personally.

RetiredAt21 05-24-2010 07:48 PM

.10 gauge string or **** off.

Dimmu Burger 05-24-2010 07:49 PM

.13 bro

RetiredAt21 05-24-2010 07:50 PM

Holy ****, Dan.

2muchket! 05-24-2010 07:58 PM

Lost in all this techy speak.

All i know how to do is shriekys

RetiredAt21 05-24-2010 08:00 PM

Dan I bet you have big ol' sausage fingers that make them fat strings do what you want.

xMalcolmXx 05-24-2010 08:03 PM

srv used .13s in standard tuning. pretty ridiculous.

Scoot 05-24-2010 08:05 PM

RetiredAt21 05-24-2010 08:05 PM

[QUOTE=Scoot;17999553]i use .8s[/QUOTE]

xMalcolmXx 05-24-2010 08:12 PM

lol i didnt even know they made .8s

Scoot 05-24-2010 08:14 PM

when you play high on the tiny strings that's what you need

otherwise you can't bend for ****

Dimmu Burger 05-24-2010 08:22 PM

[QUOTE=RetiredAt21;17999545]Dan I bet you have big ol' sausage fingers that make them fat strings do what you want.[/QUOTE]

I played bass more than I played guitar, so heavy strings are no big deal for me. I played like 130s on my 5 string back in the day.

witchxrapist 05-25-2010 11:49 AM

Starkweather and Rosetta are playing in New York this weekend. Jesus Christ, I need money for this.

Tyler 05-25-2010 12:50 PM

I need to listen to the new Starkweather. I got the stream a few weeks ago but streams are useless.

witchxrapist 05-25-2010 12:55 PM

IDK how streams are useless BUT OK

2muchket! 05-25-2010 01:10 PM

Might search for the new Starkweather later.

Just found a leak of the new ghost inside. Gunna listen in a bit.
