  1. i really want to see that sketch' date=' especially now i just found out it was about the blue oyster cult's "don't fear the reaper"

    that's probably my favourite song ever[/quote']

    the sketch is IMMENSE!! I near wet masel' :D its on SNL - The best of Will Ferrel vol 1, well worth the 5 or whatever in Fopp as the whole DVD is incredible.

  2. Don't know if anyone remembered but I wrote two power metal songs ages ago:

    Master Of Storms

    The wind in my hair and the shield on my back' date='

    Together we stand as we wait for attack.

    Our swords in our hands as we look to the sky,

    The banshees and warlocks shall face us and die!

    The clarion sounds let the battle begin,

    Our magical dragons will ensure that we'll win.

    The crashing of thunder is heard through the land,

    I'm a master of metal and this is my band!

    Deafening,

    Frightening.

    My magic is stronger than lightning!

    CHORUS:

    Master of Storms -

    My magic defeated your swords and your steel

    Master of storms -

    My power reheated your microwave meal

    We ride across plains slaying all in our way,

    Our armour is spandex and metal we'll stay.

    We paint the hills red from the blood we have spilled,

    The wizards are vanquished and demons are killed.

    Victorious in battles from the snow to the sand,

    Our legend will reign and be told through the land.

    My sword has the strength of a legion of kings,

    I'm a master of metal and my axe has six strings!

    Deafening,

    Frightening.

    My magic is stronger than lightning!

    CHORUS:

    Master of Storms -

    My magic defeated your swords and your steel

    Master of storms -

    My power reheated your microwave meal

    [b']Where Dragons Fly And Heroes Die (Swords In The Wind)

    The Legions of warriors

    They storm through the land,

    As dragons breathe fire

    To kill on command.

    Through forests and mountains

    With swords raised to sky,

    The heroes have come here

    To fight 'til they die!

    CHORUS:

    Swords in the wind!

    The dragon breathes fire

    Swords in the wind!

    To kill with desire

    Swords in the wind!

    The dragon flies higher

    Swords In the wind!

    These lyrics are dire

    A battleground plagued

    With the ice, wind and snow,

    As steel strikes steel

    Hear cries from below.

    I stand with my blade

    I'm defiant in battle.

    My magic destroyed

    Every band from Seattle.

    CHORUS:

    Swords in the wind!

    The dragon breathes fire

    Swords in the wind!

    To kill with desire

    Swords in the wind!

    The dragon flies higher

    Swords In the wind!

    These lyrics are dire

    Phew - 2 songs down for the next cd :rockon:

  3. I had a fucking ace time! Great night all round.

    I actually thought that At Long Last played the best gig I've ever seen an Aberdeen band play... bear in mind people that this was actually their first gig. Some nice riffs and guitar parts between the guitarists' date=' good drumming and Jason has the potential to be a great frontman. Also nice to see the bass player going for it a bit! Reminded me of a twin guitar version of Quik in places.

    I think I'm the only person who actually likes Dirtbox. Although now they have moved from sounding like Blink 182 to sounding like Lit. Tight as fuck, catchy songs, nuff said.

    First time I'd seen Stayover since they've changed and the one thing you cannot deny them is their ability to write catchy songs. Obviously the comparison between them and point of origin is going to be obvious... Where I think they suffer compared to PoO is the songs are less energetic and happy compared to old PoO songs - (bear in mind I like energetic music), HOWEVER the professionalism is ten times better and I know this is the sound they are going for. To me their progression has been so similar to Blink 182's in the sense that their new stuff may alienate old fans slighty, but there's no denying they have actually just got [i']better.

    Not gonna say anything about MMW's set except that my neck's still sore.

    Cheers for coming people, was a really good turn out. :)

    Dan? Sorry, just doesn't sound like Dan. Is someone posting using his profile and not signing or summit? Very confused...

  4. ?!?!?! It all depends what kind of sound you're going for, style of song etc. All of the changes "work" but C# Major from A Major is a funky change and it would have to be a pretty fucked up sound to carry it off. Strictly speaking, as long as you prepare each modulation with a dominant in the new key then it should work but then none of that matters unless it works in what your doing.

    Easy answer: does it fit into what you're doing and does the melody fit over all the changes? If the answer is yes then it works, if not then it doesn't.

  5. I can believe that!

    And another thing - What about making me sound a bit more interesting? Not only does my photo make me look like a burns victim' date=' but my claim to fame is that I'm from Aberdeen. Come on! Here's a bit of trivia for both of us -

    I baby-sat you when you were a kid and we watched a crappy horror film that we hired out because we couldn't find Terminator two in the St.Cyrus Spar. FACT!

    Now that is the shit I'm talking about.[/quote']

    :laughing:

  6. The amp has 2 clean channels: clean/crunch and 2 distortion channels: gain/ultra gain. The clean and distorted channels have master gain and volume controls. There is master presence' date=' treble, middle and bass controls too. This amp sounds awsome at any setting and suits basically any playing style. It has a couple of cosmetic bashes but is in perfect working condition. It comes with 2 foot switches and a power cable. Bargin at 399 Please e-mail me with any questions. :bat:[/quote']

    Christ, that is a bargain... *checks pockets for any spare cash* Shite, now I know why I hate spending money over the christmas period on "other" people. :rolleyes:
