Isn't it just a fucking fantastic feeling when..

[GarethSE]

You get a big chunk of inspiration after months and months of having zero inspiration at all?
I felt ready to give up on writing music, and I pretty much had done, then my girlfriend got me into this band and all of a sudden it's like
MUST
WRITE
MUSICCCCC!!!
and its just flowing out beautifully

what a great feeling

 

[Metal Overload]

yeah it`s happening to me right now.

 

[xMannequiNx]

what band?

 

[Metaltastic]

Hell yeah Gareth, though I shudder to think what band was your muse

 

[GarethSE]

Haha

Well I almost hate to say it, because I'm still getting over the fact that I'm allowing myself to like such filth but Foals

Here's some examples..

I was so unwilling to like it but she played me the album one day and I was like okay this shit's actually not too bad
Nice and spacey, a lot of tape delay going on in there, which is always nice.

 

[GarethSE]

I so fail at being metal.
FUCK

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Yeah, same here, wrote one new song after some months of break, it feels just awesome to know I'm not losing it

 

[Erkan]

Hahaha, maybe not my cup of tea but it is SO nice to hear something that doesn't contain distortion-guitars-from-hell type of shit in it.

Gareth, this thread gave me something atleast... which is, the idea to write a song that is 100% with clean guitars, no distortion. I needs to does its!

Sorry for sounding so bitter about metal guys... I just spent all day yesterday tracking black metal guitars with that guy I was talking about.... *facepalm*. And there's yet more to come...

 

[Chryst Krispies]

I thought you were going to say: "When you take a reallllly long piss after a boring as fuck car ride."

easily a close second

Add "Going to sleep on a work night, waking up completely convinced that you have to get up in 45 minutes for work and then looking at your alarm clock and realizing you've only been asleep for an hour and still have a whole night of sleep ahead of you" to that list too

Oh look, it's a facepalm, thanks for that I'm gonna go right ahead and use it in context immediately...

So tomorrow, I've gotta spend the whole day with that black metal d000d again... and this is how I feel:

you got some fucking endurance lasting that long recording shit black metal bro haha

 

[Styvo]

After taking six months off from playing drums which i've been doing for over 20 years i can somehow relate........I think alot of times we are consummed by our love and crazy passion for our art that we work ourselves to exauhstion,at least i have felt that way.Having that renewed inspiration and outlook is a beautiful thing.
Good to hear your back with a vengeance......

 

[Metaltastic]

Bumping this thread to echo the sentiment in the thread title - god does it ever fucking rule! I've read in the tons of songwriting threads that pop up here that some people say "you can't force inspiration," and while that may be true in some sense, I know I really need to force myself to sit down and write something, and before I know it I get on a roll and I'm fucking unstoppable! The current inspiration was a collaboration me and Bernhard/abyssofdreams are working on, and I think you guys will dig it when it's done!

 

[LeSedna]

Hey, the sound you posted, even if not metal, sounds really cool. At first I was thinkin "omg one of those modern gay rock bands we have too much in france and youngs say they are so rock n roll" but it's a fucking mix between modern rock and deep progressive styles !

EDIT : well from this band I like the deep bridges, but the choruses and the parts that are more "basic rock song" piss me off a lot (I just listened the second link)

 

[ahjteam]

I actually forced myself down for an hour and then just for forced to splutter out some riffs. I wrote down about ~20 minutes worth of semi-useable riffs and I used few of those in the Accell song, which I think turned out pretty groovy. Now I just need to make up some lyrics for it

 

[mark.james]

Such a great feeling... I also agree with the forcing yourself to play/write statement. When I get into a rut I don't even want to turn on the computer, much less wait for Protools to load and plug in a DI. That's how I get into an even bigger rut. If I force myself to work on music for an hour a day, I get right back into my groove in a week or so.

Yeh man, it feels good at times.
