Hja, Blues...Jest sm na tej " liniji " nekje zadnih 10. let. Ta song je pa plod trenutne prostopopoldnevne inspiracije, tko bol na hitro :) Strat, Marshall, Od, pa en Fuzz, pa bo sound. Drugač pa moj material počiva, ker enostavno ne morm končat z vokali, zaradi različnih vzrokov. Zdej iščem vokalista tud ivzven meja. Mah, enkrat sigurn sfiniširam....
Spletni portal RockLine (www.RockLine.si) v sodelovanju s postojnskim Rock Cafejem organizira natečaj za neuveljavljene skupine Epic RockLine Contest, katerega namen je spodbuditi glasbene talente in jim omogočiti predstavitev širšemu občinstvu ter popestriti glasbeno dogajanje na sončni strani Alp.
Usmeritev nastopajočih na natečaju je žanrsko omejena. Natečaj je namenjen izključno izvajalcem, ki igrajo rock ali žanre, ki so se iz njega razvili (rock, metal, hard core, punk, industrial..), morajo pa imeti posneto vsaj eno skladbo!
Zainteresirane skupine naj najkasneje do 16. novembra pošljejo avtorski material v uredništvo spletnega portala RockLine (na naslov info@rockline.si). Skladbe prijavljenih izvajalcev bo pregledala in ocenila strokovna komisija. Zasedbe, ki bodo dosegle zadovoljiv nivo kakovosti, bodo vključene na glavno tekmovanje, ki se bo začelo v četrtek, 3. decembra v prostorih Rock Cafeja v Postojni!
Yeah dude the new Devy is gonna be the SHIT! As usual... I can't wait. I preordered and I'm getting a poster and a signed copy of the album for 15 bucks man! Cheap! You can go to his myspace and get hooked up if you're interested. I know the vox are awesome right? They sound HUGE, and he has this sort of layered, analog sound to them... outstanding.
Yeah the AIC was cool man, I liked it the more I listened, and now that you mention it we do have a similar vocal tonality yeah?
SPeaking of, I've really been working on singing and stuff, and have a LOT more confidence now and I'm really ready to start busting out some solid vocals... I'm a lot more comfortable with my voice and my range/ability, so I'm anxious to start getting to work.
Yeah dude wtf is up with this email crap? I checked and I haven't got a mail from you since September 13th! I checked my blocked senders list incase you got put on there somehow and you weren't on it, but I also noticed you weren't on my safe senders list... so I put you on there just to be safe. Is there anyway to you resend the mails you sent to me with myspace? Like check your sent folder and copy those bastards into a myspace mail? It sucks not getting mail from you man and I don't know what's up, I'll have to write hotmail service or something... but in the meantime, I've got a yahoo email also man, skinny_smiles@yahoo.com, or you can always write me on myspace. I'd really like to read the mails your wrote dude, it's been a while since we "talked". :)
What up mang? I liked the vid you posted, not bad. What it is with you my man? Hope you haven't sent an email cuz I haven't gotten anything if you have... we need to interact more dude, my life is boring without my Grega news every day.
Besides, it's time to fuckin' SINK OR SWIM bitches!
Oh and also, I think I need to file down the nut on my RGA, the groove for the bottom E string doesn't seem to be large enough to allow the string to lay evenly with the other strings and it feels higer up than the rest... do you think that's something my dumbass can do without fucking it up? Or should I take it to a guitar dude?
I like the sound of the band, I'm not huge on the vocals... they fit but I'd like something more on key myself. I'm kind of surprised you like this, it seems different for you... but that's GOOD! :)
You're not the first guy I've heard say that. To be more fun I was using the delay to set a tempo and sync my playing with that. You're right I need to practice more at a slower speed and work my way up... I think I'm trying to take too big of a jump. Accuracy is the key to speed, and the key to accuracy is practice. Boom.
It seems weird to think there's something you could learn from me on guitar... but, you never know. :P
I haven't gotten a mil from you in a while man... must be having troubles again. Everything seems fine on my end so IDK whats up.... TELENAZIS!
haha, yeah man of course you can put that vid up. I watched it again today when you mentioned it and I got a good laugh. The best part is when I chuck my guitar cable on the ground, haha.
And dude, you should be proud. You are the shit and deserve to be at the top at IAC man. And 17th overall is amazing considering there is seriously like over 40,000 songs at IAC at least. The Circus is 59th overall man. We fuckin' rule dude. :)
Nah man, I didn't get a mail, that's why I was kinda wondering WTF, cuz I hadn't heard from you and you always hit me back after sending you something. I was tired and playing shitty that night and lost my patience obviously. I should put that shit on my youtube page, haha. And I am doing alternate picking, theres no way you could play it at the tempo it's supposed to be without alt picking. I can doing it pretty good about half or three quarters speed, but once I try to play it full speed I miss strings and it's annoying. My fingering is down pat though. :) I learned it way faster than I thought i was going too.
Dude I'm pretty much down for whatever, you want to work as a team? Right on. I think it could be fun. I was thinking, dude, think of all the shit I could learn from you while I'm there? You can teach me how to actually play the guitar! haha
Peace
Oh and interesting vid you sent, never heard that one before. I didn't think it was too bad..... but you're not gonna grow a fro are you? :P
Good to hear from you man. Ki arpeggios are good, I got them down and the fingerings pretty well, but it's the fucking picking that's causing me problems. Did you watch that vid? Pretty sad huh? I laughed my ass off at that.
I'm really trying to figure out the next step for me man, I know I gotta get out of this house and away from my mother soon. Do you think it'll be very tough for me to get a job over there?
I agree man. I've been playing a lot of guitar still, last night was another good session, and I've even started standing up when I'm doing it. It might sound lame, but I always sit when I play guitar so i want to start playing standing up so I can acutally play a show if need be, you know, like a pro god dammit. No more fuckin' around. I strap my shit real high like a dork but I don't give a fuck, I can actually play that way, I can't play with my axe down around my balls like a lot of guys do to look cool.
Sink or Swim will be the shit no doubt, whenever it comes to be. Sooner than later no doubt. I've actually got some cool song ideas forming so I know it won't be long before we're shitting out more tunes than we can keep up with again. I must say, I love the feeling of playing a lot every day and that feling of contentment you get from learning new stuff and trekking furhter down the road of mastering your instrument, if that makes any sense. I'm gonna be a real guitar play if it kills me bro... every day, play every day for at least like 2 hours, preferabbly 4. Doing this shit for real if I'm ever gonna make a living at it. It's time to get serious.
I also realized that I kinda of lost my perspective on why i was making music which is wehy I sort of lost my motivation for a moment. I realized last night I should start over and just do it for me, and write tunes as if I was the only one listening... forget about everyone else who might here it and just do it for me and try whatever I want regtardless of the outcome, like i used to do when I was like 14. It's such a free feeling and it really opens the gates to all my ideas. Lots of things to come, and I'm sure I'll make lots of tunes that nobody will ever here but me, and I think that's pretty cool actually. Totaslly comes from the heart that way man and you never know what will come of it, different styles and themes.
I really don't think you're whiny dude, doesn't seem
Yo man, what's up? I wanted to send you a vid but I decided not to cuz I'm a little pissed off right now and I don't want to seem like a dick. Sometimes I really HATE being in this fucking house... drives me crazy. Anyways, I totally feel ya on the not being motivated to do new music right now given your current situation. When I first moved here, I only did like 2 songs in like the first 6-8 months I was here... and one was a cover! When you're down like you can be after a breakup or what have you, it can be hard to be creative... but I think it's good to take some time away to deal with it all man. Once you work things out for yourself, you find all kinds of new ideas to work with, I think maybe that's why I shat out a lot of music recently in a short time period. Sometimes it gets bottled up and once you open the floodgates it all comes rushing out. Now that the weather is starting to get crappy again, I can feel all kinds of ideas and motivation bubbling for new stuff. I think it'll will be a very busy winter for me. I've got lots of things I want to try and I really want to step up my vocal work. I've been listening and practicing and studying and when I listen to the couple tracks I've done, they are OK, but they could be a lot better and WILL be better. Just wait til you hear some of the stuff that will come to be thru all of this. I have a feeling Sink or Swim will be the start of it all again, it's very fitting the subject matter if you think about it. It's kind of what you and I and a lot of people have to do right now... or choose to do, either SINK, or fuckin' SWIM!
So anyways, I'm tired, pissed and sick of it all... how are you? :)
I'm here man. :) I;ve been thinking we need a Skype session dude. It's late right now, I'm at work and it's past midnight and i gotta work in the morning, so I'll keep it short and just sey hey... but i wanted to say I've been meaning to mail you and I'll send you a mail tomorrow to chat and say whats up...
Hey dude, all 3 of my songs have made the semi-finals in the KIAC Song Contest. It's getting down to the nitty-gritty now, like only 10-15 songs in most categories now.
Hope my comments didn't make you too mad... I'm just trying to cleanse my palette a bit before I jump back into the mix man, that's all. It's all good bro and we'll be kicking ass again in no time!
