That's something I'd like to avoid, we all agreed on only covering Davidian by Machine Head for now, but other than that we are working on our own stuff.

Heh, rhythm guitarist and me are working on getting stuff so we can record, then we hope to get a demo made asap.

Yeah I started with guitar then my friends were talking about creating a band and they still had bass and drums open so I figured, with my practice with guitar changing to bass would be easy, and then I found a really nice bass for 140$, it's a brownsville 5 string and I have no idea what pickups are in it, but it sounds really awesome =D

O.o Lol wut? Demo pl0x?

Heh I suck at drums, and bass is a great instrument, though half the time I look at demos of basses I'm like "OMG STFU" (Probably cause they don't play the bass in a metal way). I found it easy as hell to find the tone I wanted, where as if I played guitar I'd probably never find the perfect tone for me. My setup for my bass currently is, Peavey amp, and digitech death metal pedal(hard to get a good tone for guitars with it, but sounds amazing when using with a bass.) If I ever get my recording equipment I'll see about doing a demo of it if you'd like.

Well, lots of bands these days have bad players but they somehow pull it off, and some bands start out being shitty and work their way as they go. So, I'm sure you will have no problem. And there are shitty things like deathcore, that sounds like everyone in the band just picked up their first instrument, people still like it.

You are correct, sir. Better this thread get posts like your's than few at all

Metal is hard to pull off without two guitarist =P

I myself am not that good I've been playing since September of last year. My vocals are also not where I want them

Yeah I can't wait till we get all of our shit done. When we get everything done and recorded. I'll definitely post when ever we get done, but I'm not sure how soon that will be since most of the time is just me and the rhythm guitarist(lead vocals), working on the stuff. As for the thrash, I'm unsure exactly what our genre will be since we all like various genres of metal, but I'm sure we'll have a couple thrashy songs.

I made this thread to see who of the SG Community has band going. As most of you are unaware of I am a bassist, trying to get a band going with some friends(I know lame right? Lol).We are in the middle of finishing our songs, and working on getting recording equipment. So, post info of your band and what genre your band is planning on being.(Btw we have no idea what genre we are going to be, I am guessing most likely thrash[That's just from what our lyrics are]). Post what instrument you play for your band, etc. My Position: Bass (back up vocals) Band Name: XIII Band Genre: Unkown (I am guessing thrash) # of Members: 5 Status of Band: Finishing Songs (acquiring recording equipment) I believe that is all.

Thank you, I take music serious. I hope to one day make a career of it(We are working on songs we are just waiting for stuff to arrive to start recording). I don't want to be a dick and like piss people off. So sorry if I like angered you any Bad. Dx

K I'll check 'em out, thanks.

I see an Ibanez!!!

This thread is here simply for people to share Power Metal bands. I currently only listen to one PM band, and that is Axenstar

Eh windows 7? >_>

I'm pretty sure his "screams" are considered a form of growls, but what do I know? And sure kids buy their CDs, it's better than "teens" illegally downloading. And fortunately that's your opinion, to hate or like whatever shit you may please.

3 mins in and I might kill myself

And you're the one to say what's not metal and what is? You create the music you love, no matter if others think it's shitty, which someone will always think something is. Sure 75% of Slipknot's songs are piss poor excuses but every band has piss poor excuses. Unlike Rap a lot of metal bands do sound different (though some sounds quite the same). Bands sounding the same is what successful bands complain about. Metal isn't confined to one sound.

Where have you been? It's been almost a week now since he left us

Espio, have you read the Aesthetics of Hate article? I was fucking appalled when I read it.

Slipknot has some amazing songs, saw them live last year it was amazing D= Also RIP Paul Gray!

Machine Head - Aesthetics of Hate The words I read on the screen Left me fucking sick I felt the hatred rising You son of a bitch You branded us pathetic for our respect But he made us Driven, Such deep reverence, Far beyond the rest For the love of brother I will sing these fucking words Aesthetics of hate, I hope you burn in hell (RIP Dimebag!!!)

Steal someones pod and shoot them with it

Well if you really want to play games, but still do work, it's all about working at it. Nothing is easy to do at the start. It's better to have some stress release than none. School work can become over whelming and the best thing to do is take a break for a little bit.
