  1. Looking to start up a new project, so I'm seeking folk to jam with.

    Guitar/Vocals are my forte, so ideally I'm looking for a drummer, and another guitarist (ability to do vocals wouldn't be too shabby!) as I should have a bass player, but I'm always open to trying folk out.

    Influences are along the lines of Mastodon, Melvins, Baroness, Tool, Electric Wizard and similar artists, a bit of sludgey prog, for lack of a better description. Aiming for the sort of music that would work well as instrumentals (that's why I'm trying to avoid having a seperate vocalist).

    If you're interested at all drop me a p.m on here and we can try get a jam sorted.

    Cheers!

  2. The only Dragonforce I've heard was clearly a pretty thin joke, but that's the biggest problem with them.

    Metal isn't the most serious form of music. It delights in being silly, can be fun when its silly and looks pretty stupid when it's serious (chubby teenagers gurning to 'Nothing Else Matters' on a dance floor, no-marks with wiry goatees advertisng their signature BC Rich model in the backpages of Total Guitar, for example). Metal doesn't NEED Jack Black or Guitar Hero or Dethklok or Dragonforce to tell us it can both be fun and funny, and having the point driven home by some tit talking about the 'legions of metal' and widdling some nonsense on their fretboard is just irritating.

    With bands like Dragonforce, I find it hard to see at what point they draw the line between being a serious band and having a laugh, as it all seems like one massive joke to me. Maybe that's the point and I've just missed it. Although I know too many people who hail them as one of the greatest bands of all time, those people can't take a big fat fuck to themselves.

  3. American Psycho.

    Watched it far too often recently, but there's something about it I just fucking love. I think the lead character, Patrick Bateman, is brilliant and Bale portrays him excellently.

    Also Jared Leto getting fucked up with an axe is brilliant.

    "TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW YOU FUCKING BASTARD"

    Glorious.

  4. For the band, recently I've been writing lots of tunes when I'm high, never used to do that, but that just seems to be my most creative time at the moment. I try to never "plan" how a song will go(for lack of a better phrase) as I'm not really for convention song structure due to my main inspirations.

    I have a few times hummed a riff onto the recorder on my phone, but due to the ridiculousness of the intended riffs, it's hard to hum it.

    Lyrics wise I just start jotting stuff down when need be and I see where it goes, it never tends to be about feelings/experiences, most of the it's some total nonsense. I rarely get ideas for them and jot down on a napkin or something, for me lyrics have a time and place to be written as they're the least important part of the music to me.

    I've been doing a lot of solo stuff just now, just as a side project. It's experimental (ala Fantomas), so it's hard to write that stuff at times although once the brain gets going it's simple as you can really do whatever the fuck you like with it. I've tried to lay tracks over, say, 5mins of a film/cartoon, changing tempo/style/mood etc depending on what's going on. It's quite amusing.

  5. Personal preference ;)

    I have a Randall RG100ES (Dimebag fanboy amp as used on Cowboys, Far Beyond Driven and Trendkill) and it sounds excellent.

    I also have an ENGL SE EL34 which is excellent.

    They are very different, yet both sound awesome for metal. Just depends what you want to achieve.

    I prefer the Randall to alot of metal guitarist's valve based tones. Doesn't make it better. :up:

    I know that isn't your point as such and I'm being picky and arsey, but yeah :)

    OP, the AVT Marshall range (now discontinued) sounded better than the MG (IMO) with a few more options to use with it aswell.

    What sorta sounds are you trying to get anywhere near (you don't need to be trying to directly replicate anyone in particular, but must have something roughly in mind)?

    Engl:up: Zing!

  6. Was more wondering what

    meant.

    Ahhh, my bad.

    Pretty much that, since I've lived here quite a number of people I've known have left to go elsewhere/back home within that time.

    Just noticed that I managed to miss out "ly" at the end of "on", as a result it made no sense.
