YETI

Zero - that is really easy to get, just keep all tones balanced, use both pickups (not only the ones at the bridge) compress like hell, and give it a good sirr, follow these simpe steps and you can open a new service of plastr removal

It would be nice to expect that we could actually get hold of you once in a while, or you may even respond to messages within 2 days regarding practices and gigs.

I would have liked it for you to stay and joined in with what we all want, but you give no commitment anymore, turning for a practice once a month does not count as valid contribution IMHO. Nor does refusing to change shifts / take days holiday for gigs outside Aberdeen which we have all done at some point. Tony even left his daughters birthday early just to play the tunnels gig, and thats one of those special times not to be disrupted. You should not be posting your thoughts in this forum, as we saiid, phone us or PM us, neither of which you will do probably:down:

i did pm hog but it looks like the forum addict hasn't replied.

i will send the rest of you the same pm i sent him straight after his post about pms

does that mean there may still be some six string bassy/hairy madness at element gigs from time to time?

after all, if you're going to carry on for the time being without the mike could you not carry on playing gigs with him that he can make?

i would like to just point out 1 tiny detail, i havent quit element at all, i have been kicked out. you can immagine my surprise one morning, checking my mobile, and finding a txt on the lines of: "sorry mate you are out we cant be having with missing gigs"

bitter? hell yea after 6 years i expect a face to face discussion with the option of saying my own version, so to answer your question, no i wont be doing any more gigs with element

so let me get this straight you going to gig without a bassplayer?

hummmm.. it might even work

so who is going to be the new element bass player?

i'm quite partial to titanium myself.

i may ad that Seaborgium is a rather cool metal as well, and probably the heavyest

ok i have listened to the new one now twice in quick succession, and i have to say that:

1 it rocks, i really love the way we are going

2 the sound is a bit dry but it still rocks

3 we really need to get tighter as there were some blurry bits, but it still rocks

4 i dont think i like the feedback over mt tapping bit, but i have to admit that the song rocks

ok i have listened to it for a few more times and i think is a very good song' for a more personal note:

i really like the style of drumming, fast snare and DB to match

guitar harmonies on a fast pace, just to get away from the usual fast mush for a verse and a slo harmony over the chorus (you cant deny that)

ok the bass has avery simple line but i am willing to sacrify myself

only thing i see as a not so good note on that song is the singer hi end growl al Phil Anselmo (never been a big fan), BUT replacve it with the deep growl of the Tonster and ytou see where i am going,

that is the shit, i d love to play stuff like that, but ofcourse i cant write anything. and we still have at least 3 songs to rework that we havent touched insted of creating new material.

if you dont want to do it is fine but dont just say "yeah we will" and than just ignore it

and to be honest i dont really like Syl l, sorry Hogster they dont really appeal to me

why bother with a cover.. it can be a crowd pleaser, but only if people know what it is! it just means you have to cut another one of your own songs out of your set. but if you have to do a cover, id say do something that hasnt been done before and make it metal. it can be done, nothing will get the crowd going more than a metal version of an abba song lol.

agree, fully.

how about a song that is NOT our style (unlike metallica and syl) and make it ours, some of the best covers were done by changing the style of a song for example the tetris theme tune done ska version, by Mr bungle it rocks

i know that for you peeps is a bit difficult to get out of your narrow alley of metalness but there are 1000s of styles out there and just because You dont like them doesent mean tht peeps that do dont understand what real music is

but peter jackson isnt in it at all, he is just the director

damn you all skinny beardless peeps, just because i am fat and i have a beard doesent mean i look like every single other person who is fat and/or has a beard (namely when peeps call me Binladen for my beard ..... uhu!?!?!

which one is it? i cant open it... elemental by any chance?

sweep picking is a hard technique to master.. but hope this can help.

i can almost sweep pick tis one.. but i dont use a pick... so i could say that i can sweepfinger that... almost tho

so what my glass is always half empty.. that doesent mean i hate the drink...

i have 2 chest freezers full of enthusiasm... is just that some peeps put down the first brick and they cheer because the house is almost finished....

and i am not pessimistic i am realistic, deal with the matters at hand and cheer once the work is done and is beautyful, which it will be

hog i will need to get a decent sound for that solo and you are just the man... so when are we gonna do that tune reworking session? i have next week off so give me a shout

LOL no but well spotted.. i gues it was a fluke

i love this forum.. it always make me chuckle....

dont pat ourselves on the back just yet. we only have the very basics of those songs.. we need to work more...

on a second note i need to find a soloing sound but i cant seem to get it... i hate new technology

Hawg would you please get some pictures to me?

pretty please? i dont understand why you are HOGGiNG all the pics from our gigs.

i would like to see my ugly face sometime. you know my e-mail so just fricking do it

yo stu, do you have to rumble about everything?

you dont like E106 we know that.

you hate everything about us, we understand that.

you keep minceing testicles (italian expression so STFU allready) we disagree.

you still dont understand that we dont want you here that is just shear stupidity from your part. or you are more sad than everyone in aberdeen put togather and get a kick from causing greef or anegative reaction in people.

so do me a favor follow this very simple logic process

you no lke E106?

this be E106 forum?

1+1= no post on E106 forum BECAUSE you no like E106

got it or do you need a map ?

thanks for the cooperation

now please step away rom the forum.

thanks

I see that once again there is alot of ideas there :-)

i have to admit that lead instruments have their use one of the greatest composers of all time never used a lead guitar but still had lead instruments.

i probably didnt quite ask my question right though.

what i was supposed to ask is..

in rock and metal (and all the subgroups associated with the 2 styles), lead guitarist (when present) tend to behave as primadonna (once again this is generalisation from my past experience), often covering with their frivolous behaviour, interesting parts of songs. Any ideas on this?

ok here something i am curious about,

are lead guitarist an essential part of the band or are they just big headed primadonnas?

btw try and refrain on commenting on my grammar/spelling and general language use, thanks

1 thing i really dont understand is:

what is wrong with standard E tuning?

why do guitarists whant everything? they never let other members of the band do theyr own stuff.. you want lower tones? get the bass player to work on it. you want faster feel get the drummer on it...

dont try and do everything by yourself or the rest of the band will get bored and leave

anmd by the way if someone else has a solo STFU already do basic notes so that that someone has his/her moment of glory dont try to cover everything

btw i hope i havent offended you Hog.. you know i love you... even if you cant tune your guitar

Im weird' date=' Im not good at tuning at all but I can do harmonies (within my limited range) bang on. Certainly not bothered about training the ear to tune my guitar when a tuner can do the job.[/quote']

my point exactly

dont get me wrong, i totally agree with checking your tuning as soon as you are on stage, and do the necessary corrections there and than...

what i am talking about is haveng your instrument out of several notes... like what should be a B is infact a Aflat... also just to insult Hog a bit :-)

this thread was originally inteded for Hog's case only.. he has a really bad ear for tuning also he hasnt got the proper technique as in instead of letting the note ring for a bit and listen for the wave sound resulting (i dont know the proper term in english) he keeps picking listening only for the first note which is often the wrong one to listen to. to top it all off in the 10-15 years of playing the guitar he never bothered learning how to properly string a guitar and tuning it. so in this case a working tuner would be the best option beleave me

omg i never wrote for so long in this forum.....
