Hey Lowberg, how long did it take that widget player to finally show your vid? I uploaded mine but it doesn't appear.

Mine sucks! It obviously looks like I am mimicing my previously recorded track
I wanted to upload it 'cause I went through so much trouble today just uploading and editing 
Glad it is over and done I think the deadline is Sep. 19th. Check the site.
I'm just kidding but I seriously want one BAD!Dude, I've literally been looking for one for 2+ years, and they were either beat to shit, the earlier 87 model, someone wanted too much etc.
I'm stoked. Next on the list is a VHT 2/90/2.
and the deadline for the widget is the 29th

bass solo, take one
I got my tickets for the show! So whichever one of you guys wins this thing, I'll see you there
and I just checked it-- Lowberg's comes up, but I don't see Altitudes' yet. Unless you're the guy wearing the black bodom shirt and doesn't show his face...

+ fucking 1, amazing lyrics/guitars/drums/bass. The stuff from Symbolic and The Sound of Perseverance (Also alot of stuff across all the older albums) is so godly, and so fun to play on guitar. Probably my fav band now, but I admit I only started getting into em only about 1 1/2 years ago. Boy have I been missing out >.>
Congrats on the GP1000 Necro, I'd love to get one myself too but it's going to be a real mission to get one in Australia me thinks. Really keen on how the pedal is going to sound. Only reason I want one is to muck around with some CoB/Paul Gilbert/80's shred/Glam type tones.

You live in the US right? I saw more than 5 GP-1000 (both models) popping up. The cheapest one went for 220 but unfortunately most of the sellers don't ship to Germany.
if you ever find out, please tell me
in the vid, was it just the cameras mic?
Sounded good, almost as good as my Lee Jackson
Yeah but I lost at the biddings.Everyone bid at the last minute and my computer is a little slow.

Yeah Corny, I agree with the others. It's cooler if you can actually play your music than having the image of some rock star. Phoenix gave some good examples (like deh moohammed). You'll be much more respected if you can play properly. You don't want ppl to talk about you as if you're Herman Li and Sam, right?
I agree but is not just a matter of playing accurate. You have to play accurate and for that you need a guitar in a comfortable place, but then you have to try to interact with the crowd and do interesting stuff so anyone gets bored. But getting the guitar in an uncomfortable position to look cooler is a no no at least for me.
That was actually good, but I agree with Corny on the thing that you have to try to be original and do the vid as weird and cool as you can while you nail the solo as you did there.
About the guitar height, I'd say get it in a comfortable position, don't try to look cool by fucking up your playing or making it a lot harder.
About ways of looking cool, I've never seen what's that bad about headbanging without hair. Kerry King does it and looks way better than Jeff Hanneman. I'd say just headbang normaly and then wander around the stage, do some facial expressions (that one of showing your tongue that Alexi loves that much is a helpful one when you don't want to move because you're playing something a bit mroe complicated f.e.) and then try to team up with the other guitar player or with the bass player and do something like this:
It's silly and simple, but looks damn cool and people likes it. Also, stare at the crowd, make them feel like you want them to be part of the show and that you're there to entretain them, not just to play, do your job and go. And don't think that much about your short hair. Long hair is not something you need to rock the stage. It's handy and helps, and it's great to hide your face when you fuck something up
, but it's not neccesary.You just realized it now? Where the fuck have you beed? Death rocks man

You miss so much stuff when you're away for a few days! I just got home from a trip with a friend, for those who missed me (wink wink mysti mysti ! )
I just read through some stuff on the last pages, and on the matter of becoming a professional musician; i'm starting uni in a few weeks, with a whole other direction from music, so music is pretty much just going to be a hobby, but that's perfectly fine for me, as long as i can keep doing my own stuff.

Long hair makes you look cool and that's it. Its actually harder to play because most of the time you can't see much if you're headbanging alot and in my case (my hair is 70cm long) I watch out so that hair doesn't get in the strings...I had this happen before!!

I know, I have long hair myself and I do play gigs. I know the deal with it. I'm jus saying that you don't need long hair to look cool.

How was your downtown trip?Oh and even tho you'll be doing music as a hobby, I really hope you try to pursue a band to play your own compositions. I can totally see you as being a paul gilbert type of guitarist....meaning you'll write a lot of guitar-driven instrumental tracks and get some musicians to record them with and then just release them as your solo albums. That'd be pretty nice to see happen
