    Playing For Pre-Schoolers

    You should play some Lamb of God for them! Kidding, kidding. No one should ever play Lamb of God music for anybody, including Lamb of God. Okay, half kidding. Yes, I think they're awful, but that's my opinion. I know there's someone who'll say they are the greatest thing to happen to...

    Mis-quoted Lyrics

    When I first heard "In The Flat Field" by Bauhaus, I mishead the lyrics "I get bored in the flat field" as "I give birth in the flat field." Needless to say, I thought that I was wrong, but being goth rock and all I went ahead a checked to see what the actual lyrics were. Thankfully, it...

    Demystifying Metal styles, how to make fingerstyle playing heard in Metal

    Good read. But I'll admit, I'm one of the musicians out there who isn't a huge fan of Death Metal. Far too many metal players in general place all emphasis of talent and musical ability purely on how fast they can play. It doesn't matter what or how they're playing, or how the song is...

    Where's the money at?

    Heart-warming advice for someone who wants to make original material... Oh well, that's why I'm also still going to college. Lord knows my lyrics will be too intelligent for the masses to ever love me. But screw the masses, I'm in this for love, not money. :-)

    When you realise your band is more about glory than playing music...

    I wasn't aware drummers were allowed to have egos. But then again, I'm a happy member of a message board dedicated to the mighty bass guitar, so I guess anything is possible. In all seriousness, your drummer needs a reality check. Yall are aging, which unfortunatly tends to mean that...

    Lookin 2 Join a band....how?

    Like other people said, place ads, go on Craigs List, ect. I actually made a post on this board asking the EXACT same question a few days ago. I took their advice and within a couple hours I'd contacted a guitarist on Craigs List trying to find people to start a Post-Punk/Indie Rock band...

    First Gig Tonight - Hurt pinky!

    I'd say just switch all pinky duties to the ring finger when possible. It's what I do when my weak little pinky acts up. Either that, or just play through the pain, take some aspirin, ect.

    When do you give up on a band?

    Yeah, the vocalist... skill wise, I've heard far worse, but... he just seems very emotionless. He sings everything in the sampler exactly the same way. I've never heard a less energetic "woah" in my life, and energy is a requirement for Southern Rock. Tell that boy to expand his range and...

    Is St Anger the most hated album of all time?

    Really? I thought it sounded like the name of a very cliche' "anti-hero" type from comic books. You know, the type who wears all black, fights demons, and the whole time spits out cheezy one liners better suited to an 80s action movie or to David Caruso. In fact, Caruso can play St. Anger...

    Is St Anger the most hated album of all time?

    Billy Idol - Cyberpunk (he's only average at most times to begin with, but god, what a horrid album) The Clash - Cut the Crap And I'll agree on the Green Day suggestions, and to some extent on the RHCP. I did, however, love Californication. It had a few weak tracks, but the title track...

    Getting Something Started

    Right, Craig's list... Now I feel stupid. But hey, already noticed a guitarist looking to form a post-punk band. Needless to say, a talentless bassist/vocalist responded.

    Happy songs?

    Cemetery Gates by The Smiths Always loved the fact that it's a really happy sounding song, but it's titled Cemetery Gates, which would make ya think the opposite. and from my days in middle school... Rock Show by Blink 182
