I have an electric drum set in my room. Along with EZ Drummer (with the Drum Kit From Hell plugin).
So I signed up.
Fuck it. If someone else is going to mix it and do effects and shit I am down to take a shot at rhythm guitar. However if I have to get the exact guitar part(as in, I have to have all the effects set up) and no mixer or anyone to tell me how to set it I'm no good.
[editline]02:25PM[/editline]
Or I could possibly play bass if I can get shit working on this computer so I can play it and I get a good sound(my other computer with my recording shit gets a horrible sound from my bass).
Cool.
We're doing good so far! :buddy:
[QUOTE=Samiam22;18731324]I can do bass, I am getting my amp for christmas, but if there is already a bassist I can be one of the guitarists.[/QUOTE]
Added you to bass!
We need to start sharing Steam Friends IDs so we can start discussing. I'm already thinking that the very first song we try to record should be an instrumental (I'll try my best to dictate it in words, :v:), just to see how hard it's going to be for us to throw the parts of the song together.

Ian D is vocalist. And Guitarist.

So if you added him, how come he isn't on the list? We still have offer's from another guy and I want to see if he's any good.
you need to require people to post samples of them doing X
If I'm doing vocals, I'll probably have to have someone else write lyrics.

Check my post that has had the list.
I keep updating that post, rather than continually make new ones. :v:
Last time we tried this everyone dropped out and like three people actually posted samples (me being one of them)
I guess it's worth another try, though. I can do keyboards/synth and shitty guitar.
Also, articpenguin, can you be more specific than simply "metal"? "metal" is pretty umbrella. That can mean we play symphonic power metal (Nightwish), brutal death metal (Nile), industrial metal (Fear Factory), or pretty much anything else in the "metal" genre. :v:
[editline]12:56AM[/editline]
Oh what the hell. Broke my automerge by less than a minute. Probably closer to a few seconds.

If you want to give it a try, go ahead. Both a melodic and a powerful keyboard sample would be cool, and guitar samples of both a groovy riff and a thrashy riff would be nice, too, if you want to try them.
:v:
Not so sure about the guitar riffs (I mean it when I say shitty, I'd probably only do some rhythm stuff :v:) but I'd be more than happy to do some symphonic riffs or shredding monophonic lead solos on keyboard. Assuming we're sticking with metal, of course. :v:
Ok Gmod. Look. I REALLY don't like it how you're signing people left and right up with out my verification. I know you want to help, but you really should ask for my approval. After all, I am the one who started this, and I would like to be the one in charge of this.

Kay.
Sorry for trying to help.
I won't ask people to post samples for you anymore.
I'll let you handle it all while I sit with my thumb up my ass not doing anything.
[QUOTE=articpenguin;18735967]

[/QUOTE]
If someone else is there then no, I won't take his spot. However I will play guitar if someone is going to mix it for me.
hahahah already we have tensions within the band.
[QUOTE=barrierloss;18739316]hahahah already we have tensions within the band.[/QUOTE]
Pretty bad when there's tension and the band hasn't even been formally created yet, isn't it? :v:
[QUOTE=yawmwen;18738954]If someone else is there then no, I won't take his spot. However I will play guitar if someone is going to mix it for me.[/QUOTE]
That's kind of you, I also volunteered for bass.
Yea in a way I want to use this as an opportunity to get better at music by collaborating with more experienced musicians to create music. However I also don't want to drag down everyone else if there is a better musician who is willing to take my spot. That would be very greedy of me to do and not very nice to the rest of the band.

You can help. Just don't go singing people up left and right without me checking them over first (i.e how long they've been playing and what experience) because I want good players, not shitty people who think they can play.
But seriously talk to me before signing people up.
And don't be a whiny bitch.
I'll be the bassist
[editline]01:44PM[/editline]
actually reading the thread I'll pass, I thought that you couldn't find a bassist, not you couldn't decide.

Don't take anything I say worth a shit.
I'm just an ignorant pawn. The only person whose words mean anything are arcticpenguin. That being said, send him samples of your playing so he can judge you against our other bassists.
Also, since I'm probably not technically in the band since I just signed myself left and right, I suppose I'll post a sample.
Since I have no idea specifically what kind of music we're intending to play, I'm not really sure what mood to post in (I have lots of lyrics), so I guess I'll just post one that has a industrial metal tone.
[quote=New Age Messiah (from collection "rEvolution")]I come bearing no cross on my arms
I come walking no trail of tears
I come claiming no divine blood in my veins
I come offering no better years
I come offering no salvation
I speak the language of the apocalypse
I speak the tongue of nine millimeters
I speak the words to silence your screams and purse your lips
I speak the words to ease your fears
I am your New Age Messiah
I am the one who you have been praying for
I am your New Age Messiah
I am the one with the key to the long locked door
I am your New Age Messiah
I am the one who will bring you from this Hell
I am your New Age Messiah
All I ask of you is to kiss my feet and fucking kneel
I!
I am the one who you wanted!
I!
I am the one who you needed!
I!
I am the one, I am the one, I am the one
I am your New Age Messiah
I offer no salvation; I am not your redeemer
I offer no guarantees, I am no false speaker
I offer you no safety, follow me and you will surely die
I offer you no freedom—all I offer are the tears you will cry
Without me
Before me you were enslaved by the monsters you helped create
Humanity was beaten out of you—the will to stray and deviate
With a gun barrel to your head you were forced to cooperate
Choose now your greater evil—me or your brains across the concrete
I am your New Age Messiah
I whisper the words of the Armageddon
I am your New Age Messiah
I am the one who shall never be forgotten
I am your New Age Messiah
Rockets cry and missiles scream out my name
I am your New Age Messiah
I am the one who will lead you out of your perpetuate shame
I!
I am the one who you wanted!
I!
I am the one who you needed!
I!
I am the one who responded!
I!
I am the one who came to save you
I am your New Age Messiah
Rockets’ red glare burning your eyes
Machinegun’s song helping you die
Missiles falling like acid rain
Cyanide gasses to help ease the pain
Children orphaned as the raging machine feeds
Doesn’t matter to it whether you fight or sit on your knees
There is no salvation, there is no redemption
From the creatures you had helped create
I!
I am the one who you wanted!
I!
I am the one who you needed!
I!
I am the one who responded!
I!
I am the one who came to save you
I am your New Age Messiah
I!
I am the one who you wanted!
I!
I am the one who you needed!
I!
I am the one who responded!
I!
I am the one who came to save you
I am your New Age Messiah
Your New Age Messiah![/quote]
This is a pretty old one, but one of the better ones from then that I wrote (though I've written better ones at that time, too.) I've gotten a bit better (in my opinion) since that time, so...
:v:
I wunt vocals :(
Then do it. I'm probably better for background type stuff anyway.
[QUOTE=Ian D;18748229]Then do it. I'm probably better for background type stuff anyway.[/QUOTE]
Multiple vocalists would be great.
Though I suppose it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to know what all vocals our vocalists are good at, so I can write musical notation (assuming arcticpenguin takes me) around their vocal strengths. :buddy:

More like [I]I come offering no better lyrics[/I], am I right, or am I right?
This is never going to work if you guys are gonna be complete pricks.
Also, no one is going to post any samples if we don't even know what genre we're going to do.

For some reason I imagined a melodeath song with those lyrics :v:. Pretty good though.
A small problem.
I can't post a bass sample as my bass goes ampless until Christmas, I can, however, with difficulty, give you an acoustic sample.
I'll just be the #1 fan. :smile:
