Aye Devo kick erse,I am gan ti dae Uncontrollable Urge wi 16 AGAIN.
Ging to see The Stranglers Dave Greenfield on keyboards,he pulls some great noises oot o the things.
Alternatively go to see XS RELOCAT at Dr Drakes and listen to a band that sound like SHIT but look GREAT,erm, or should that be the other way round? Onyway this Friday 21MAY Dr Drakes about 830 ish.

NAY!!!! Hammond organ for a bit of reggae maybe.....but I mean those things can be played and real feeling can put into them, plus the leslie's just sound so damn good....if you don't wanna play an organ you can always plug your guitar into the cab


Nice!!!

....Hammond....... Organs...... *wets self*

Three words - 'Faith' 'No' 'More'.

Thus ensuring my continuing love of all synths and keyboards in rock music. As with anything it can be overdone but when it's done right it's glorious. See American Head Charge, Anyone, Rammstein or Marilyn Manson for examples of glorious funny noiseage in rock!

yes i agree with using synths and keyboards

soilwork use them very effectivley in their songs as does American Head.... as mentioned before.
can be really good but some bands just sound shit if they don't mix it properly

Nightwish/Sonata Arctica..say no more Nightwish's stuff is done so well to the point where it adds a whole new dimension to the music, however.

Synths in music are fn shit, like wah wah or stomp boxs they suck
The only keyboards should be those reedvalve things from guiseppes factory in italy and the only guitars should be nylon strung spanish acoustic made in georgia,
fn tech crap, it'll kill music!!!!

Stuff and nonsense. And spoken I hope in jest.

I own a microkorg and its one of the coolest things i own. It adds such a depth to the recordings we did. You can find them on the "Lets start a real feedback..." post on the feedback forum. On the last page of that thread there's a link to The Void's mp3s. Download "The Void" and hear how awesome the synth can sound.
