  1. The word is practice. No matter how bad you feel towards it, just keep in at it at every opportunity and the rest will come naturally, depending on what you want to learn. Don't be disheartened by the first few months though, like I was, you just have to keep working at it. I'd also recommend at least knowing some basic theory- even with the stigma people seem to attatch to it, it helped me a lot. Good luck with it. :up:

  2. Think of the studying opportunities on the train or bus though! Nowhere to hide from revising when there's nothing else to do is there?

    The after-gig adrenaline will see you through the exam also!

    :band:

    Oh aye, so we're all going to go to Megadeth, get home at like 3AM then sit the exam at 8 30, haha? It isn't happening, I just have to accept that I'm well and truly fucked. Unless we developed some system of transporting me home through telekinesis? Or maybe if I just hid under the pile of coats it would be OK........help!

  3. Wasn't involved with any of the ins and outs of it, but basically they've split into two bands, one remaining as Dezibel and another involving Ron and Daran. I always seen them as the main organisers and the backbone of that band, so I decided to go with their one. We practice at Station House on Sunday afternoons at 2PM if you're interested.

  4. Hey I used to play with dezibel s too

    How long ago? I've been pretty recent, like since last summer? Always had problems getting to Station House during the week though, so I've always been a little on-off, and now I'm having a go at some stuff in Ron and Daran's new band. Maybe all 3 of us know eachother then?

  5. I've done some stuff with Dezibel for quite a while (the ones who play outside Marks and Spencers) and I'm currently working on a new one with some former members, but if it's that sort of drumming you're going for, I'd definitely be interested. Although I like what I'm doing just now, I'd really like to expand to other forms of percussion and possibly something a little more frantic. Send me a PM if that's what you're after.

  6. My real worry is that we may get a coalition gvt in the UK.

    Given the complete arse that the Lib Dems and Labour are making of devolution it could be pretty bleak stuff...

    As far as the US goes' date=' it just reaffirms that they really are a joke in terms of democracy.

    And yet they think the world should be more like them...[/quote']

    Won't happen, unless some form of PR is introduced to our voting system, which I can't see in the near future, since the only two parties who can get elected, Labour and the Tories are in support of First Past the Post.

  7. they had a perfectly good drummer (Jimmy DeGrasso) before Dave broke the band up. asking Nick to drum again was stupid as they just plain dont like each other and havent for years. i dont know why Dave didnt just carry on megadeth with the same line-up they had before he went back into rehab.

    He hated them too............

  8. From the official Megadeth site:

    "Nick Menza has been replaced in the lineup for the upcoming Megadeth tour. In his place will be Shawn Drover (Eidolon). We look forward to the upcoming tour with Shawn and wish Nick best of luck in his next endeavor."

    Bastards! Can't he just like, get on with people? Well of course I don't lknow that's why he'd have left, but it looks pretty likely judging by Dave Mustaine's past record of um.....'interpersonal skills', and some of his recent comments in interviews, he's turning into a bigger asshole than ever. Also, what do we think about the new line-up? Can it still be called Megadeth with one original member, or not? Was pretty impressed with the new album, but I'd have still rather seen Chris Poland do the tour at least, rather than having a completely different band to the one who recorded. Yeah, this post is too long by my usual standards, so I'll just shut up and leave it to you lot now.
