HeinzHines Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Think its hard to say what the worst band is cause it all falls down to taste.Although i do agree some bands are 'shit' because people cant play instuments very well etc... but thats promoters and clubs faults for subjecting us to that crap and making us listen to it.But i think the person who put sidca in must be fucking mad! (thats my opinion, not a starter for an argument with said person) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Gilman Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Ok' date=' Leckie and your good self [/quote']i had a feeling it would be us but hell both of us have had no training in singing or playing guitar, and as for song writing, shit this is our formula;1. pick a pretty sounding chord2.select one that sounds good after it3.repeat step 24.listen to a handful of records and pay attention to the vocal line5.alter the vocal melody a little so it isnt blatantly obvious ( check out "cheer up mr emo man" for the best example of this, i stole it from a Cantonese pop song that my dads friend wrote, infact its EXACTLY the same melody in the verses.6.use the same old same old major scale for solo ( the one at the 12th fret?)7.tell stu (Drums) to "pound it doon on this bit ken?"maybe you can send me a PM on who to write better songs?

Guest Sundaram Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I advise a crash course in the history of Progressive Rock... Then start up a 3 piece supergroup, tour and take over the world, then die a fat, but happy man.i had a feeling it would be us but hell both of us have had no training in singing or playing guitar' date=' and as for song writing, shit this is our formula;1. pick a pretty sounding chord2.select one that sounds good after it3.repeat step 24.listen to a handful of records and pay attention to the vocal line5.alter the vocal melody a little so it isnt blatantly obvious ( check out "cheer up mr emo man" for the best example of this, i stole it from a Cantonese pop song that my dads friend wrote, infact its EXACTLY the same melody in the verses.6.use the same old same old major scale for solo ( the one at the 12th fret?)7.tell stu (Drums) to "pound it doon on this bit ken?"maybe you can send me a PM on who to write better songs?[/quote'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro Droid Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 yeah but the thing is jamesy was saying is that there are some bands that you just cant say are shite...when they are obviously a good band.Bollocks, all the widdly solos and technical breakdowns in the world won't save a band if they have no songs. Conversely, a band might be a bit rough around the edges and have great songs. Being good isn't just about being able to play like a guitar (or whatever) hero.
