Doc Ascension Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 many of you have said "yeah nice guys but pretty shite"but has anyone got anything constructive to add, where they can improve their performance etc....just seems like this is mere slating without actually saying much worthwhile.I don't think there's any point in constuctive critism here because I just don't agree with the overall sound of their music as a whole. Basically if they completely changed everything about their whole band then I'd listen again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateEvent Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I was quite drunk last time I saw them and don't really remember what they were like. We were playing after too so for a bit of it I was away getting my guitar to warm up a little etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdysma . Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 OKI'll start off by saying I agree with the fact that we played totally shit at drummonds last week, me and most of the band were really drunk and baked and we hadn't practised since we were out recording. It was a bit of a shit fest really, and if that was the first time you saw us live then i apologise. When it comes to the cover of franz ferdinand when im shouting YeeeHaaa does no one realise we're taking the piss come on ... its a country version of take me out, and the gorrillaz cover is just funny and fun to play, from my experience of playing gigs, the people that come and see you for the first time don't know your music so if you slip in a song that they know they might get into it more. and it isnt like we play these covers all the time, just at select gigs for a laugh.As for wanking, taking a shit and humming O' Fortuna at the same time . . . that just makes you weird man.I'm sorry if you guys don't like the music that we make, but a lot of other people do, and we enjoy playing it. So theres no need to take the piss, if you don't like our music I have a simple solution . . . DON'T LISTEN TO IT!Alex (the singer boi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Why do you play covers? Do you not enjoy playing your own songs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdysma . Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 We don't play them all the time, just now and again, we love playing our own stuff but its fun playing covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abdysma . Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 i have one thing to add to all this (Or a few ), Doc from Assension seemed ok to me, but abit up his own arse (by abit i mean very) when i first met him, i enjoid yor music for about 5 seconds untill...i was sitting downstairs watching Scuzz,,,,along came Dragonforce, then it hit me! nothing entirely original or different about the two, except of course dragonforce were more than capable of playing the biggest wankery solos and OTT double bass! i have no doubts about your other guitarist, his solos are pretty kool, but the constant 'blastbeats' and 'tremelo picking' and the fact that most of your songs last 10mins leaves very little to anything sounding productive as apposed to being repetative (ok abit of repitition is good sometimes, ha in our case maybe a little OTT aswell)!you all seem sound apart from you Doc, grow the fuck up, open your ears to something other than Herman Lee, instead of sitting there on your computer thinking of ways to 'Slate' other bands and spouting abuse at so called 'rumours' your not a teenager for christ sake, an your not in the know about everything either! surely someone 'in the music scene' would understand this!Muchos love!that ugly bastard from your favourite band x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While its not nice to have people laying into your bands its worth remembering the whole opinions/arseholes ditty, while a bunch of people up here may not think much of your stuff, theres plenty of other people who do, try n not let it get to you.You Massive Goth!

Abdysma . Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 yeah man totally, ken fit you mean, just woke up, bad mood. just dont see the need in some people bein pretty narrow minded towards some music (despite my juvenile response ), i know you cant like it all obviously, but cmon Aberdeen is not exactly what i would call 'a talent fest'(no offense 2 anyone)yes there are some shit hot bands out there, but they have earned that, too many folk demand it an therefore seem 'up there own arse'. i reckon people should be supporting eachother other than slating the shit out of someone that doesnt play what all the other kids play lol. all things considered i do see what peolpe have said, as i have also had this opinion about our material. not the 'oh man its shit' etc but i do realise that it can be repetative, slow paced, an well down right weird but it is early daysthere is alot more experimenting to be had ....until then, we will continue to play because it is a fekin great laugh and its a good way to keep those pounds off! hmmm anyone want to be in an Eminem cover band? aye min thats like my side prodject ken!peace!

blackorchidx Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 when u break down the music they have into concepts, they have great time keeping, use more than 1 time signature, key signatures are in a 3 sharp 3 flat range(correct me if i'm wrong) and its still quite catchy, take criticism on the chin i say, i was in a music class with them last year and yeah they are all nice enough guys, a few of em bashed my music at the end of last year and messaged my friends on myspace saying my stuff wasnt mine and i had no vids to prove it, i put up vids and got no apology but who cares, i dont, all i can say is they do what i do and i do what i do, i might go see them again sometime if i like what i hear.theres some constructive criticism for upeace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting comment to make, and one I'd fully expect from someone as immature as yourself! Yes I was critising your band, but I wasn't personally attacking you, infact far from it. I don't like your music style, I don't like your songwriting or songs, I don't like your vocal stlye, I don't like your guitar tone and I don't like your guitar playing.But despite all this (and the fact that you slagged us off based on a vendetta against Theo, our drummer) I was happy to get along with you guys as I have literally nothing against you folks. Until now.You sir have shown yourself to be exxactly what my first impression expected you to be. That post was completely pathetic - and so are you. If you had listening to our music you might note that we aren't at all Dragonforce-like but I literally don't care. The fact that you were signling me out from the band to attack says it all - and don't even start to get into guitar ability because you are totaly shit mate. I know, I've had to listen to you guys at least twice, both equally terrible.Now shut up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Ascension Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 which one is Kerr?? no idea... I only have met one of you (the guitarist one) so I assumed he'd be the only one in a position to write such bullshit....Eitherway, get a life whoever it was - people don't like your band!

Abdysma . Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 i love you Doc i also envy ur maturityperhaps one day we can sit an have a drink an talk about times past and all these lovely things i dont personally feel that my previous comment was entirly mature but whats said has been said, not everyone can like anything and/or everything about eachothers style, that is the music buisness after allwe are not out there to please everyone, we do it for a laugh an we have fun doing it, its all about trial and error and every band has to go through alot of styles an ups an downs to learn anything.as for the whole talk of musical ability, its an underated topic or overated depending on how you look at it an what you individually are aiming to acheive as a band there will always be someone bigger an better as my ma always used to say.take care*mwah!

Sam 45 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I saw some god awful bands in drummonds last night. Namely Cheap Dirt and Victims of Circumstance. The VOC guitarists distortion sounded like a kazoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
