[TravisW]

Okay--in the right thread....
I'll do a guitar solo. Hands might be full with vocals from Children of the Sea, so I wouldn't mind bowing out on that.

 

[guitarguru777]

Thanks Travis

 

[Max Morton]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy i wanna do Halford

update: so please add me as the lead singer and lead guitarist.

 

[guitarguru777]

^^^ You suck cause I wanted those, but ok ....lol YOU BETTER HIT THAT HIGH FUCKING F IN THE CHORUS!!!

 

[guitarguru777]

Noone else?? I need to get these spots filled by tomorrow!

 

[Max Morton]

thanks, man

 

[guitarguru777]

Ok lets talk guitars real quick ....

Obviously I have the obligatory 5150 that is a must if you are a member of this forum, but I also have access to the following:

Marshall JMP-2203
Peavey Valveking
Mesa Trip Recto
Mesa Dual Recto
Marshall JCM800
Marshall JCM900
Marshall DSL
Marshall TSL

What you guys think? Stick with the 5150 that we all know and love or go for something a bit different?

 

[superfreak]

I want Dave Meniketti lines!

 

[DanLights]

I love me a JCM900 myself, just my thoughts

 

[Max Morton]

JCM900 is cool, my friend borrows me one from time to time

 

[superfreak]

JCM800

I could do the drum tracks for you if you send me the MIDI, check out 'Heaven And Hell' to get an idea.

 

[guitarguru777]

I have looked all over for the MIDI on this and there is none. We did it with a live drummer, but I am planning on programming it out tonight. If you want to program it feel free, but I can bang it out tonight in about an hour.

 

[guitarguru777]

FYI Maxx dude ... I just checked out your shit for the first time ... WTF Leave your band and come sing for me in Vegas ....lol

Totally kick ass dude!

 

[superfreak]

Oh no go ahead with the programming, I was offering to process the MIDI. I own and love the Slate stuff but I'm going with Nashville EZX with 'Heaven And Hell' and 'Dream Evil', it just sounds a lot more natural.

 

[guitarguru777]

Ya I think I am going to go with a more "progressive" sounding production on this very "euro metal" I guess. I am thinking the DT Kick and Snare with the Quick maple Toms tweaked a bit, but I haven't decided yet, I have to see how the scratch guitars come out with the 800 and I will see what works for the mix. That's the advantage of slate is being able to work around the other instruments and not having to have everything work around the drums

 

[Skinny Viking]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy i wanna do Halford

Make sure you wear the same type of shirt he's wearing when you do it

 

[guitarguru777]

Skinny dude you gotta do a solo on this!

 

[Skinny Viking]

Skinny dude you gotta do a solo on this!

Thanks man but I must respectfully decline ... I'm just too overloaded with stuff to really put the time into composing a worthwhile solo

 

[superfreak]

Could I have Eric Bloom's line? It's literally 1 line in the 2nd verse... he doesn't have anymore solo lines.
