Yes, I practice my scales, and I know a little bit of theory. I still play plenty of dissonant chords and guitar lines. By what you say, people who study heavily in theory automatically cannot make dissonant sounds because their brain is trained to create melodic sounds. Which is outright wrong.

Thats not what I'm saying! Its just makes it harder to break from that for some people.

Are you doing the vocals in that senior project Dfelon?

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]I don't know if you've listened to my senior project songs or not ([url]www.purevolume.com/greer[/url]) but I mostly made those up out of moments that incited an emotion in me rather than some theoretical attempt at musical perfection. My theory training was only the helpful hand in the mix, which also included all the music I've listened to, all the guitar I've learned, the extra curricular influences (friends, family, sluts, etc.), and lastly my personality, which comprised 50% of that mofo.

Rugby is insane jesus christ. But ya, I'll bring a more cunning retort tomorrow.[/QUOTE]
Those songs are musically pretty good, not so sure about the vocals. The way you described creating those songs is the way people should really approach music. I think I have been twisted by having to play in someblues band in college where this dude just played the most generic crap I've ever heard. I am the only member of my real band to know any real theory and I play bass.

I didn't know Americans played rugby, I played out on the wing for my college at one stage. You play league or union?

hmmm. When you get tackled, does the defence have to stop and get 10 yards away from the ball?

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Uhhh. I play college. Division 2. Whatever that means.

The vocals are a mix of me and my friend, but mostly my friend. We did the vocals in 2 hours. That's it. That explains how they are weaker.[/QUOTE]
league and union are two different styles of playing. im not sure but i think rugby league is the more common version.

rugby is awesome. our high school has a team and they went to state, the girls team went to fu[B][I][/B][/I]cking nationals, they are [I]really[/I] good.

why r u talking about rugby in a music forum?

this is the community thread, its open to whatever basically but its usually about music. we talk about rugby because it kicks a[B][I][/B][/I]ss.


also spell your words out none of that r and u crap that is not allowed here.

Fine.
do you know the band lost prophets
if you do what genre are they? punk or something else?

yes I know who the lost prophets are, they started off as nu metal and they are now pop-music. do not ever come into this thread and talk about lost prophets again they are nowhere near the parameters of what this forum covers.

Tru dat.

sorry i didn't know i was just wondering because all their songs sound like different genres i don't like them or anything
does Mindless Self Indulgence fit into this forum or is it just Punk?

i had to get a little genre nazi out of me i havnt schooled any noobs in a while.

MSI is not in here and i suggest you not take into punk because they take pride in being mean in there. why dont you try the pop-punk forum and look for the power pop.

i have a question for you yapper1200. have you heard of any of the emo bands listed on page 1?

ok so in here do we like talk about As I Lay Dying or what about Most Precious Blood?

neither in this particular thread but you can try MPB in the hardcore/metalcore community thread. and you will get a better response to AILD in R&M.

Julia stuff is kinda hard to find I think.

there is a Moss Icon song called Guatemala.

Julia's stuff is mad hard to find. I have it all, though.

*slow clap*

any other good songs?

The Death of an Aspiring Icon by The Khayembii Communqiue

This thread has become harsh. Where's the love? It'll become harder for kids to get into emo than for a fat chick to lose her virginity.

[QUOTE=yapper1200]any other good songs?[/QUOTE]

Indian Summer- Angry Son.

Saetia- An Open Letter

City of Caterpillar- A Heart Filled Reaction To Dissatisfaction

Neil Perry - You Can't Fight Jose Quervo and Win

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Those are like the three most token emo songs ever hahaha. Why don't you mention "In the Nervous Light of Sunday" by Circle Takes the Square too?[/QUOTE]

lmao, i should have.

[QUOTE=Wow]I checked my Heroin, Moss Icon, and Rites of Spring folders and didn't find a single song even resembling those. Maybe I don't have them, but I doubt that.[/QUOTE]

Guatamala is a Moss Icon song.

And if you check out Julia, don't download the Lp because it's ****. Grab the 7"s. And it isn't 'mad hard' to find.

[QUOTE=yapper1200]check again
i just listend to them[/QUOTE]
sorry yapper i was purposely trying to be a dick, but it appears you obviously know your stuff. welcome to the forum. :chug:
