You barely hear bass in black metal.

b. our sound really doesn't require bass

I see.

c. it'll be easier to coordinate without bass

I'm not sure, but I'm not there.

d. bass would run contrary to what the guitar lines are, which are mostly one string-at-a-time riffs that intertwine and are mostly in the medium register.

Doesn't that make your band an exact carbon copy of trillions of other talentless black metal bands?

I LOL'd at one of the comments.

I'm back to my Pelican sig.

I plugged up my guitars a while back to fuck around with them and one of them wasn't coming through the amp. I knew something was wrong since one worked and the other one didn't so I inspected a bit and found out that the input jack is loose.

I'm kind of pissed about it since it was a gift from my dad and I always treat them very gently. Is there anything I can do about this?

Replace the broken cord, That's all you can do.

Bring it to a Guitar Center. They can fix it, most of the time.

Not really. Most bm bands use simple triads and diads. I use actual riffs. When I said one string at a time, I was saying that, while there are multiple strings used, only one is picked at a time; i.e, there's no rhythm guitar, just dual leads.

My sister's iPod almost broke the other day and she only got it 3 weeks ago. :S Luckily, the soft reset got the iPod to work again.

I just heard In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion by Agalloch. That was fucking good. I'm guessing most of their stuff doesn't sound like this, though. Well, if it does, then great.

Agalloch is more folk music with some electric guitars used. It's really another experience.

I've got a serious problem.
Normally this bullshit doesn't bother me but this is too fucking far.
Today our gym class was in the weight room because of a district tournament in our gym. So I popped in a megadeth/ironmaiden cd and began a few curls/leg presses. As the cd progressed I remembered oh shit I put a few cannibal corpse soings on here, then as I go to turn the cd player off The Exorcist plays and the whole room goes silent and stares at me. So I say "it's good metal" then im baraged with a flurry of words such as "when you come to shoot up the school remember we WERE your friends" and "how can you listen to that fucked up shit." So I retort by saying well what do you listen to a bunch of guys rhyming about there lifes and biased opinions of things and am again drown out by half assed statements. Now i can take the how can i listen.. stuff but mixing me in with school shootings? come the fuck on, i've never shot a gun in my life besides a pellet gun and i'm not even a goth. The only reason I'm getting this crap is because of that guy that played A toute le monde before he began a shooting. I'm sick of being stereo-typed as a goth/emo because i listen to metal in a school dominated by rap and rock. There is one other guy that listens to metal and no one critisizes him because he's 6'3 240 pounds.
The thought of bringing a gun to school makes me sick, i'd never kill or even think of killing people i know its just plain wrong. And i'll say this now I was only called out by 2 people one whos a friend and another whos well liked by a lot of people besides me. I can take the arguments some of my friends give me like how there musical preferences are better than mine cause i like to argue that kind of stuff, but saying that i'm going to shot up a school is tkaing it too far, the last thing i need is an investigation about me and a school shooting because of my musical preferences. I'm not going to say that the police would get involved the tracher present even told the guy to shut up because school shootings aren't to be joked about which makes me think if the guy was joking becuase I was pretty mad by then at the things that were being said. But it doesn't matter i've probably took this too far but i'd just liked to stop being associated with evil things because my music is different from what the so called normal people listen too.

I think you've looked into that waaay too much.
People joke, its not serious. People who listen to MCR get razor/emo jokes. People who listen to Metal get murder jokes. Its the way it is. A kid who listens to rap will get wigger jokes.

I dislike emo's, but I can't fucking stand wiggers.

I've listened to more of their songs and I'm starting to really like them even with the growling. freakin' good stuff.

Also, Conception is good (or should I say "was" since they're split up). They had Khan from Kamelot. I listened to 3 of their songs today.

And I heard a song by Shadow Gallery that was pretty good.

I used to hate harsh vocals. Then I heard Garm.

Yes but I do not want to be associated with school shootings

ITS A FUCKING POTATO!

Ganon-Dorf was offended, and I see where you are coming from. In the past, let's say seven months I get called out on the street for wearing my shirts. I documented one incident before in General, in that instance I was wearing a Crowbar shirt. Other times I get made fun of for my Melvins shirts. One incident was, and this is serious, "HEY U KID! UR SHIRT IZ TEH GHEY!" I go and confront him. He says that again and I sock him.

However, he was a cunt. Anyway, I would not want to be even thought of killing someone. It's not in my relatively pacifist nature. It's a big no-no. Stereotypes such as this began, for the most part, with Columbine. That's something no one wants to be affiliated with.

So far the only reactions to my shirts have been, "Hey, nice shirt!"

nor would I

So its okay to constantly make fun of emos about killing themselves.
Yet jokes on Metallers about being killers isn't okay.

Sounds like hypocrisy to me. You guys need to loosen up. If people think I could murder, I'd be happy... no one would start shit with me XD.

It's definitely the reason they don't start shit with me.
