    Bad Singer? I don't think so. Do you?

    thanks a lot for all your input, guys! I, or we, never thought about changing the singer, we are like brothers. I just wanted to know, if his singing is an issue that we should worry about. obviously it isn't, or at least it's something that can be improved. and that's ok, cause we all still...

    Bad Singer? I don't think so. Do you?

    Well, I've posted this video before in the recording-section, but now I've got a different question. My band exists since one year, all originals, doing quite well; a lot of shows, much respect and love from everyone. Now we got a tape of one song we played at our latest show, which was...

    Developing our sound

    in my current band that was an exciting time, too... we've founded the band about 9 months ago, and we didn't really know what we want to do. we all listen to nearly the same music, which is a big plus, but still we had three different genres we liked: stoner rock - like QOTSA post-punk -...

    Not recording myself anymore!!!

    Some months ago my band went into a little recording studio to do our click tracks for the drummer, just when a good friend of mine (someone who I really look up to as a bassist) had finished the recording for his band's record and the produced showed us the result... I was speechless. He sucked...

    Dual Amps

    Little question here: I'm playing at a festival next months with provided backline, and I've got the possibility to play over 2 idetical rigs, Genz-Benz GBE 1200 with the 6x10 cab, if I want to. And now I'm wondering if there's any use to go through both rigs, since I don't even use effects...

    Orange OR120 - Which suitable practice amp?

    Since I've got myself an Orange rig (see sig), I now feel the need to get a suitable amp for practice and a little living room jamming. I currently own a "Stagg 20"-Combo, which was my first ever amp buy, and it really sucks. I haven't played on it for a year now because it's so bad, and it's...
