As far as arrangements, we like breakdowns like cheesy hair metal bands like finger tapped guitar solos.

Uh... my turn ons tend to be the following:
hand claps
string sections
high pitched background vocals
drummers with groove
Passionate vocal delivery
See 70's glam rock for the archetype.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: cincinnati | | | there seems to be a reoccurring theme of evil women in a lot of our stuff. i dont write a word of it, but ive pretty well inferred that my singer went from blatantly writing about the deception and torment of the female gender to approaching it in a more poetic fashion. the song about dracula is less about dracula.. moreso about bloodsucking evil women.
theres a lot of undertone of his past mistakes.
then theres a song about army of darkness. and a sort of carpe diem, we ****ing rule anthem. lately he's questioned his faith and told the story of men at war. so it varies, really. some deep, some not.
i have an old demo.. one of the lyrics is "and i wish everything you saw in me was dead and gone".
a new one is something like "trust me now, im a better man. how many mirrors must i look into before i find the man you want?"
he's grown up quite a bit.
