AS UM Forum Compilation

[El_Gato]

great !!!

BUT

we can't use "Andy Sneap Forum Compilation" with "Andy Sneap" on it, right?

And this was a question asked directly to Andy

 

[guitarguru777]

No we cant ... and besides I dont think Andy would want to be involved in something like this. Its HIS reputation on the line.

I think perhaps a limit on length is a little arbitrary. There are some masterful pieces of work much longer than 6 minutes.

Ok, no limit then?
For me it's ok, but please, John Petrucci, if you are reading this, DO NOT submit 25 min songs and shit like that.

 

[Skinny Viking]

well, if people are gonna vote on what songs will make the final cut of the comp for each volume, wouldn't matter if someone submitted a 25 minute song ... it would have to get a majority vote from everyone anyway

disclaimer: I have never written a 25 minute song, nor do I intend to so this statement in no way benefits me or any participation I may endeavor to pursue in regards to this project

Voting? I didn't have that in mind, but it can be another possibility.
So we can do it 2 ways, all songs are included in different Vols, or including only the songs voted.

Up to you boys and girls.

sorry, I misread this:

how about 1 compilation per vague genre each one managed by one person who particularly loves the genre (i.e. gareth for sludge/doom/drone), and then a double disk "best of" covering the whole spectrum as voted for by all forum members?

thats where I got the voting thing from

 

[guitarguru777]

Ok guys ... forum is up

Everyone come over to http://www.backstagemetal.com/forum and register an account.

We can discuss this all in the forum there so we are not clogging up the Sneap board

Thanks
Jason

I registered, but I think it would be a mess having 2 forums. IMO we should keep it doing here. We only will have this thread and another Official thread soon.

BTW jason, you are bloody fast creating an Forum!

 

[guitarguru777]

I am just trying to respect the other members of the forum by not having this thing sit at the top of the Andy Sneap forum for days while we iron details out. Up to you guys though....

I think the forum idea for the other site is a good way to have people submit and vote for what goes on in the compilation though.

 

[guitarguru777]

Ok Generic simple website is up. We can fuck with the design later.

 

[DanLights]

I´m not sure about the additional forum, cause the idea is to have bands from Sneap member forums, if this is on a different place people will start jumping and before we know it we´ll have like 300 submissions. Still, I registered to it, if everybody else prefers to go to that place, then I´m with the masses.

So, I´m gonna vote for Skeksi´s idea about the genre differentiated volumes with different "managers" each, and then the best-of with the most voted songs. Anyone else into this?

 

[HeadCrusher]

Does "Backstage Metal" exclude the Radio Rock Crowd? Cause then I'm out...

 

[DanLights]

BTW I'm totally digging the design of both the main site and the forum, really really cool and not too flashy/overdone

 

[DanLights]

well it's supposed to be about all kinds of metal, personally I would keep it that way, unless we do a "Rock" genre volume

 

[guitarguru777]

I say depending on how the fist few go then we can look into doing other genres. Right now I think we should stick to the Metal thing.

As for the design THANKS! I figure simple was the way to go

 

[Torniojaws]

Count me in for Industrial Death Metal

 

[Black neon bob]

Count me in for Industrial Death Metal

Same here.. also if lads you need someone to line up the songs and get them right/equal volume-wise, hit a brother up... i've done the same on the harmony-central compilation CD.

 

[guitarguru777]

Got an idea for a CD Jacket. Im thinking DigiPak when we do it. Let me know what you think
