I can be your psychologist for when you all become disillusioned by your wealth and fame and begin falling apart in some pathetic way.

and i just realized that grim said he didnt know i had talents...

-_-

hahaha
nice it took me awhile.

And I have my own boobs to play with! And I'm not talking about mine.I've claimed hers, haha.

you are the fag bearded dude?

Royal Flush this is likely because you only listen to a select type of music, I listen to everything so im more musically in touch than you. People who lets say, only listen to metal, or rap, or 70's rock, or pop, or country...

their musical ability is low because EVERY different genre uses different scales and different skills that the other wouldnt. Metal uses mainly Minor scales giving it an Erie sound, pop and most hard rock uses Major scales mixed with various amounts of other scale and country uses natural minor mainly to give it that mellow sadish sound that a lot of their songs have.

and Penguin, no band starts off sounding perfect and any musician would know this.

and no the "Bearded Fag" (lol) is our guitarist Andy

Let me explain the genre to you a bit.

This is grunge (which is a late variation of punk mixed with 80's metal)

We have altered this genre making a new wave Grunge mixed with new aged metal without the death scream/growl vocals.

This first song appeals more to the punk side of things wrote in a E Major scale that is variated a bit. because of our genre being Grunge our vocals will change from song to song depending on the actual attitude of the song. We have a couple coming up that are clean vocals and some more course ones. Listen to soundgard or Stone Temple Pilots, hell even Pearljam and you will see that from song to song vocal variate (Pearl Jam not so much).

Point being it is a mixed genre so there wll be plenty of different sounding songs coming from us. Primitavely we hold a punk sound because that is the basis to Grunge, when grunge hit main stream pop culture and 70's metal was thrown in giving Sound Garden and Pearl Jam. Nirvana was more of the pop mixture than the metal side of the genre. Ironically the genre ended up splitting itself in half.

Pop and Punk

The pop side sounded more like hard rock.

The punk side was earlier on in the genre and it sounded rougher like Skin Yard and Malfunkshun

(sorry for giving the lesson)
lol

Only in the RP Forum...or in a message.

Damn cous, they didnt ask for a lecture.

lol

Bump :)

LOLZ I couldn't resist.

I agree with the poster. I still can't believe they'd let the stairs and fence get into such a state.

Nutha BUMP

btw recording equipment with 6 mic inputs ='s roughly 400 dollars...

do i look like im made out of money?
At least im not now!

Im the one in the very front

:)

That doesn't matter foo'

im going to pay for the PA and stuff once i get the money so dont pull that card broskii.

and you have to admit...

I write ALOT of everything thats coming out.... lolz (Now that Michael Nelson's in i wont have to)

All i'll have to do is suggest things and he'll run with it.

Yes we do write the sheet music but we have actually wrote it out in tab form instead of Notation.

This is about as simple as our music should get though. We're taking a lot of time trying to perfect or writing style through our next song but organizing and getting a steady even flow down is a lot harder then it seems. 3 members of the band (including me) are in college and the other 2 are juniors in highschool so we have tons of scheduling conflicts that we're still in the middle of ironing out. I just cant wait until we get things moving better.

We have gotten a Behringer 800 Watt Mixing board with a built in interface to hook to our smaller recording system. As you can tell from this recording its all a little mucky and this is because we recorded it with a 4 channel recording system.

2 mics on drums and a mic in front of the bass and guitar amp. We're working on slowly upgrading our equipment for when we do start to record things at a faster pace but as of the moment we're just jamming and having fun with it all.

^_^

I never learned how to play guitar but I remember my sister and I at the piano trying to compose something original (good times lol^^). 

I listened to your song a few times, glad there was no growl :), found my head bopping along the more I listened to it... particularly liked what I heard at 1:09 - 1:12 but not really sure about what I think about how it got finished (2:22 onwards). I think overall I was left with a fragmented "raw not polished but I kinda like it" feeling? not sure if that's a good description - still ... way better then anything I could come up with :)

Personally my favorite part comes at 3:06-3:09. It's the shiz.

yes but might i remind you Mamba this is our first song and the intentions for this was to show people that we arent just a group of silly children that want to say "HEY IM IN A BAND!" (like 90% of all of them)

We have pulled in a harmonic guitarist and hope to keep to the grunge style but lean a little more away from the punk side of grunge and more towards a mix of grunge with current metal (without screamo shit).

I like the song

:P

but i know that we can do way better and thats we are taking our sweet time on our future songs as if we were disarming a bomb with a wiring harness the size of an underground sewage main...

lol

Which is why he said (without the screamo shit)

^_^

The next song is very softcore metal with a hint of hopelessness =DD

I'm totally kidding, but not completely. Lol. Point being: It's gonna take your face and destroy it. In the most melodically beautiful way possible. Completely different than this cord crunching yelling crap we got here. ; )

I liked the instrumental part of the song. The "singing" was awful. Get a good vocalist or just play instrumental.

The only part I thought was ok was 1.35-1.48 when I didn't have to listen to the awful screaming :p
