Yeah I used my mates DS-2 but it seemed like it would be more use for a lead guitarist. Was looking for something with a little more crunch and a little less high end? Might give an OD3 a bash. Theres a shop down the road from me with all the boss stompboxes set up, so ill go give it a wee shot at some point. Cheers for the help! x

Thats because most pedals are within saving up range for me. Most tube amps are not. Thus i asked for pedals. Not tube amps. Ta. x

Went with the martins. Mostly due do monetary problems. However, I've got a bit of a problem. Most of the strings have the really nice bright metallic kinda sound that i like except my D string. It sounds kinds dull... cant notice it when strumming but playing anything else, where the string is played on its own, its kinda obvious. Funnily enough, If i use my capo on the 3rd fret or higher, it sounds much brighter. I'm thinking its just my guitar being crap...

Common sense yeah, cant afford a pedal, but i can afford a nice shiny tube amp? Good thinking there... x

I'll take vocal duties? Or if your in the mood for something lighter and dancier, I could take rythm guitar too? Greg x

Is there kind of genre limits at all? Obviously some people dont want to listen to black metal and some people dont want to listen to drum n bass. x

Bump. No one in Aberdeen is looking for a vocalist or a guitarist...? x

Saw union of knives at TITP like 2 years ago or something? I think it was anyway... May have completely the wrong band! lol Awesome show anyway =) x

Ok, I'm not going to say "your wrong" or "your right" to anyone here, but this is my personal view. Everyone should be given their chance. Wether they grew up in a drug den or a mansion and wether they started at age 8 or 68. Everyone should be given their chance to sit down with a counseller and talk it over and if they want to be given help, they can be given it. Infact, I'm in a nice kinda mood, if they make a fair go at it but end up back on the drugs, give them a second go. However, If the government spend thousands of pounds on someone to try and get them off their addiction, put them through rehab, give them all the counselling they could need and then they walk straight back to their dealer, fuck them. Sorry if it seems harsh, but I'm all about free choice and I'm a very strong willed person. If they would rather plunge their families, friends and everyone around them into depression over them, not to mention the social strain caused by any crimes they may or may not commit in order to fund their addiction, they deserve the drugs and everything that comes with them. But thats just my opinion. No one should be left out, but society simply cant afford to just throw away time and money that could be better spent helping people that actually want the help... x

Hey, This sounds awesome. I'll definately be there. I'm taking it this is pretty much just a mash up of all genres and stuff? If you'd like, I can come down and help set up etc? Im no sound engineer, but its a free pair of hands to lift things from A to B? So long as I'm not at uni that day or away home for holidays. Greg x

For my acoustic? Nah. Havn't been out the house in a few days due to an ongoing war with the flu =( x

Hey there. Im Greg. Im 18 in January and a need a band... I play guitar, but I'm probably not good enough to be a proper lead guitarist so I've put down rythm. I also sing/scream/growl kinda stuff, so im looking for a place in a band as a guitarist or a singer. I have a fair bit of stage experience as a singer infront of crowds ranging from 10 to 600 people so stage fright isnt a problem. I listen to and take influences from all over the place. I listen to everything from acoustic guitar/piano music, to kinda happy dancy powerpoppy/pop rocky kinda stuff, to dance/drum n bass, to kinda punky/rocky kinda stuff (Alexisonfire/Biffy etc) right through to hardcore/metalcore stuff (As I Lay Dying/Comeback Kid etc) So I'm quite happy to play and sing most styles =) Anything else you want to know, dont hesitate to ask! Greg x

Hey. Liked the song. Thank fuck you wernt trying the whole fake american/london accent bull. my mates did that and just got laughed at =P Not a massive hiphop fan but i liked it =) x

Ow! I just got punched in the face by a lack of money and kicked in the groin for a want of one of those =| nasty... x

Whats the best distortion pedal for a nice fat rythm guitar sound? Opinion obviously... but you know. Ta x

=o if only i had the money and someone wanted me in their band! =P couldnt justify buying it withoud being in a decentband though. sorry! x

Im imagining freezepop, but a little less goth, a little more bouncy. Getting there? x

Is there a way to work out the gauge of the strings you already using? cos i cant remember for the life of me. x

I use orange dunlop tortexes =) thick enough to play cleanly and strongly, but thin enough that unskilled players (such as myself) can still play reasonably fast tremolo picking and altearnate picking. I use thinner ones for acoustic though, for volumes sake. x

Im 17 years old and my weight jumps around a little due to my super fast metabolism fighting with the masses of food i eat. Litterally the best thing you can do to feel and look healthy is excercise. I dont eat the best of foods due to living on a student budget, but i skate at least twice a week and do weights 5 days a week. The cardio-respiratory given from skating is a massive boost that you notice even just walking around town etc and the muscular from doing weights makes you feel great after about 2 weeks as suddently everything becomes less effort. Although, I'd like to eat better food, sometimes i can only afford the crap stuff with a bunch of E numbers etc... I just drink a lot of water which helps flush your system of all that crap. Grapefruit and ginger are also excellent for a bit of a detox system flush. Cant really afford grapefruit for breakfast though =P x

acht! 3 different recommendations... not useful =P x

Hey there. The strings on my acoustic badly need replaced. Looking for something nice and bright, especially on the low strings. What should i go for? x

Im interested as to whether any other first year students living away from home got a cookbook? I got one as did almost all of my mates who started uni this year... (particularly the males =P) x

Goddamnit! psycosis' fault =P bringin up old threads...

My cousins wrapped up about 25 pairs of boxers in different sized and shaped boxes for my dad and labeled them individually from different people in the family =P He thought he had loads of presents but it was like "A dvd... No wait its got boxers in it... Golf balls! No wait its for boxers in it... Tennis balls... No wait its got boxers in it. Ibuprofen... (honestly...) No wait its got boxers in it... etc" Was funny as hell for the rest of us... He wasnt best pleased =P x
