That is true... but its close to home and all my friends are queers who don't wanna go to Wacken. Wacken Metal Hell Meet Up should happen :(, its the only chance I'd get to go I imagine.

When Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance are headlining a festival, you something is wrong.

Again, that is true.... but when Dream Theater, Megadeth and DragonForce are at that festival, I'm happy :P.

And Linkin Park are good :D... welll Hybrid Theory is XD.

That would be major league cool. Everyone that's able tog et there meet up, share a camp site, get pissed and then jsut sit back relax( or go crazy :P) and enjoy the music.

I like Dream Theatre, the other two, while still decent, are a bit...meh. I like Megadeath and they are a good band, but they aren't my cup of tea. Same goes for Dragonforce.

And Linkin Park are good :D... welll Hybrid Theory is XD.

Unlike a lot of people I don't have really bad opinions of bands, I'll admit I used to really like Linkin Park. They're a kind of gateway to better music. Start of with Linkin Park, move onto things like Korn, get into some metal core, then finally into the good stuff.

Same goes for bands like MCR.

Despite that though, they don't deserve to main stage, let alone headline. Not when bands like Dream Theatre are there.

On another note.

One of my friends told me she read an article somewhere declaring that studies have shown that on average Metal heads are more intelligent than people who listen to other types of music, including classical.

I finished recording the song, the guitars are mostly just twisted little one finger chords on the 12th, 14th, 15th,16th and 17th frets, it sounds creepy, and arguably makes it more industrial than death metal (...I like neither, to clarify, I just wanted to write a death metal song) If I had my hands on some pedals it would make it sound better.

The chorus is just a riff using power chords that mostly progresses from the 2nd to 8th fret. I had to record a whammy bar slam 3 times because during the last verse there are emphasis on 3 words.

The drums are mostly cymbals on the verses, then it progresses to some slamming on the bridge, then it just goes into this crazy stuff, you know, a beat on every drum continuously? I'm not that educated or big on drums. That's why my brother is doing them.

The bass (which I managed to get thanks to my mum's, friend's daughter) is just some little progressive picking up until the chorus, which is initiated by a small bass solo, then it becomes the shredding that is typical of MCR. (I know, not metal, but I like them)

BTW, the new guitar i'm getting is a BC Rich Warlock with white snake pattern.

I've heard of them but I don't think I've ever actually heard anything by them.

They're deffinatly worth the listen. Their debut Dawn Of Possession sounds different from the rest but it's still a great album. They just released a new album yesterday. Here's the cover for Dawn of Possession.

I'll look em at up some point. I'm always open to new bands so I'll get a hold of a few tracks and see what they're like.

Cheers for the recommendation.

That's because they are full of rambling fanboys while we prefer more intelligent conversations.

Haha awesome.
I suck at piano. I only know the chords by working them out myself using theory i gained from guitar, so I can only make a few rudimentary melodies.
But the likes of Jordan Rudess, Elton John and Rick Wakeman make me wanna play it so badly.

AIM is a no go.
The reason I'd need it sent to my email is that from there I can have as many attempts at downloading it as possible. Over AIM I couldn't.... and since my connection is guarenteed to disconnect during the sending proceedure, its basically impossible.

But its cool... I'll wait till I have broadband and pester you again then ;).

I don't really care about Linkin Park. I used to like Meteora and Hybrid Theory a hell lot years ago, but now I just don't care about them. However, their new stuff is really really bad.

You aren't actually missing that much. It has some nice moments, but it's one of those films where if you know the plot twists, it's not that good.

That song is win. Their cover of Mr. Sandman was really good too. Then there's the covers that Demons & Wizards did of White Room and Immagrant Song. Hansi is like cheese, as long as he's involved it's just that much better.
