Thats cause we're all standing around trying to look serious or moody, its hard work y'know.

Its has to be Bison really, for the great riffs and the ability to spell.

Why arent bonesaw on here? Considering certain bands do like one show every 6 months and havent just released an amazing album...

"Get cancer and die", haha. Could have been worse, could have wanted you to suffer for a bit, selling tickets to the subtitled show, providing salted popcorn and hotdogs, then die.

It's actually "I hope you fucking die on a piss stained mattress you call your fucking home you stupid, ignorant junkie fucking cunt"

Ahahaha, The recordings sound fuckin ace man.

"ohhh arrrghhh!" at 0:07 . haha love it:up:

Sounds really good guys, the recording quality is just great.

Aye, it was lookin a bit bright last time i was in. Look forward to seeing it totally done up though.

I write all my stuff in Guitar Pro, so I can keep track of it all, and don't forget any riffs. Which is brilliant because I love going back and sometimes using stuff I wrote 5 years ago.

So I usually start with a good riff, or bit on the piano and then work back the ways if I think there could be a better intro, and then forwards. My stuff tends to be Intro Section, different section, different section, different section . etc ....Outro, so I usually write it all in the order it plays with a "what would be good next", "what's an unexpected lead on from there" train of thought, trying to keep a balance of where any solo's, quiet bits, or vocals go to keep it interesting. Vocals usually fall into place at the end, as death grunts don't need melodically specific and I treat them like another instrument anyway.

With songs I wrote and brung in for Isylore to do, I'd take in the basic song and we'd add bits and pieces to make it more interesting to play live and give it a bit more character, particulary bits you could never capture writing in MIDI.

There are a few disadvantages and advantages of writing guitar based music in MIDI. Advantages are that you come up with a lot of nice technical bits of music that you'd never ever think of mucking about on the guitar, and especially not have the time to plan out and organise in a live jamming situation. Disadvantages are that I wrote stuff that was too hard to play and you never get a true sense of what a song would sound like live through a MIDI playback.

Such a handy tool is guitar pro. I forget things a lot so using a program to save them is a godsend. means i can also hear what piano or string sections will sound like. but it never has the same "Human" feel to it. Experementation is how i write songs. try this, try that. Just whatever sounds right.

Utter toss. Having seen him live on more than one occasion I can categorically confirm that this description is bollocks.

Nah...he's cack in a sack.

Nice site...very pretty

i learned from guitar magazines, total guitar is the most popular... guitar techniques is better and has more stuff but is in general a lot more advanced

basic chords... minor, major, dominant 7ths

basic scales... major and minor pentatonics... maybe blues, major, maybe dorian or aeolian (natural minor) and mixolydian. if you learn scales its more important to understand how the scale works (e.g. what chords it fits over etc) rather than practising it all over the neck)

oh and learn all the notes on the fretboard

Well put.

Also, even when just watching tv i used to just strum on the guitar real fast(Or slow,whatever)...even just one note. you would be amazed how fast your speed and accuracy improves. learnt it in a scott ian practice thing, helped me lots.

pariah in no way compares to halo 3...... also the unlocks for changing the way your mulitplayer dude looks come from playin in ranked games in xbox live.

Just used as an example...it was better than halo 2. (Yes, im a halo naysayer)

I havent played the 3rd one but the other two were very very over-rated.

There's a level editor multiplayer mode where you can place vehicles, guns and items anywhere on the map!!!

You mean like what pariah did two years ago...halo sucks.

thats harsh actually...but true...very over-rated.

the only comfort is the knowledge that it's quite old and probably means that it would break soon

even if it was quite new it would probably be close to breaking.

PS1 - fantastic machine...very reliable...years of joy!!!

Ps2 - piece of shit that never worked properly...everyone i knew (Barre one) that had one, had it break just after the warrenty ran out. pieces of crap!!!

Ps3 - probably the same except it costs more

Conclusion...get a 360 instead...thier awesome!

Crowbars version of dreamweaver. the tune in waynes world, everytime he see's kasandra.

Brilliant!

if someone fell, landed on their own glass

Awe...if only.

For me it usually starts with a massive riff. Actually it usually ends that way as well...

Great way to start:up:

and finish i suppose.

I suck at guitar hero...all the best people at it are either drummers or people who dont play!

Metallica gained a wider fanbase with Load/Reload but alienated a lot of the original core fans. Was this done purely for gain and not because of musical experimentation or growth?

Metallica were apparently selling out when they released the black album though. some fans just want thier bands to sound the same and if they change or progress they get shunned.

If you dont progress you'll just end up sounding like ACDC or obituary,"Hey everyone, the new ac/dc albums out"..."So what? Who cares?"

I don't disagree, I just wanna say there are a lot of underground bands out there that are making honest music other than just Death Metal...

Indeed, underground bands usually have the most die hard fans...travelling to far flung countries to watch a gig in some run down little bar. the band is spread by word of mouth, not by marketing or radio play. some bands by shock appeal...some bands would not be as famous without having thier stuff banned and without politicians saying they are hindering human decency. I love death metal for the fact that it's not on the tv or radio, if you love a type of music you can easily find it yourself.

Bark at the moon has an awesome solo...but the effects jake used over the top completely spoil it...it takes away from the solo rather than add to it.

That would have been much better. Though i think chuck had the intention of having a slightly more melodic band, beyond the boundries of which death could go.

weird that...he gives up on death and it bites him in the ass in return, a damn shame.

Hope they do release the second album...he didn't spend his last few months of his life finishing the recording for it to sit on the shelves collecting dust.

Great game!

I've never understood why everyone feels obliged to tip at every occasion, it's different if a waiter(waitress) puts on a exceptional service but why tip for doing a job they are paid to do anyway.

I just think it's very American. The American waiters need to rely on tips to boost their wage to a reasonable level - But that's not the case over here.

Has tipping always happened in the UK? Or just in recent times?

Having been a waiter at some point or another, i usually always give a tip. The size of the tip depends on how much of a pain in the arse i've been. Waiters and waitresses are usually way underpaid(In my opinion) when you consider how much work they have to do.

I suppose it depends on the restraunt...im not gonna tip at fandangos unless the waiter actually cuts up my turkey dinosaurs and personaly spoons the beans onto my plate.

It seems to me anyway that people are slagging stuff they don't understand.

A lot of people i've spoken to say they can't stand emo bands, "they suck, they look gay" etc.

Yet they don't actually know what "EMO" is. i don't know what emo is...i've been told that if you have a side parted fringe and tight trousers then your emo...what if you just like side partings and tight jeans? Hmm, seems my uncle is emo...well i never!

Everytime i speak to someone about death metal at work or college slipknot seems to be the first band on thier lips, and they say..."It's just noise, it's shite, so death metals shite...end of discussion". Same happens with Emo, if you ain't got something good to say about it, don't bother...constructive critisism(Is that spelt right? No? Ok) is more interesting to listen to.

10's (although I dont like the song, I love the solo)

That songs awesome, very eerie and atmospheric.

"My Foes, they cant destroy my body!!!"
