The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

ehh I've been smoking too much for the past 2 weeks. A tall one sounds a bit better tho.

 

[Xorv]

medical marijuana LOL

One day weed WILL be legal in this country, I guarantee it.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Well thank god we have Xorv's personal assurance of that.

Drinking Lapin Kvlta and eating olives.

 

[Ross]

Runk half wins.

 

[Blind Guardian]

With Lapin or olives?

 

[divine_torture]

Just finished a basement recording (with programmed drums) of one of our songs. Writing it didn't seem too bad, but when finished we realized: 1. It's a bit repetitive 2. It's 10 minutes long.

Lapin, i cant stand olives.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Heh, I really like them, especially the green ones. I bought 5 jars for 60 sek.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I like green people too. They're really easy to get in bed with. They all rebel against their parents and come to england and pay to have sex with teenage englanderscajun.

My room smells like dodgy oust imitation smells now, instead of balls, and whatever the hell else that smell was that was lingering in here before

2. It's 10 minutes long.

Dude, I know that shit. It sucks, because when you're arranging it in your head it all makes sense and you feel like all the riffs need to be in there and shit but it's just way too long and you fall asleep playing it all the way through.

 

[divine_torture]

Exactly. Plus I didn't realize how LONG his riffs were. I said 4, but to him that was my 8. It's ridiculous. Then I hurt my throat so the final take hurt a bit.

 

[waif]

Yeah, I've been working on my growling but I can't go more than 20 minutes before my throat starts hurting.
Long riffs suck when you want a short song. I like to just switch riffs after playing them twice to keep things going, but that doesn't always work. Writing six minute songs is easy. Writing three minute songs takes craft.

itt WAIF hasn't looked into "The Zen of Screaming".

 

[SentinelSlain]

YESSSS SURRRR

 

[Xorv]

k.....The pain is gone, but now I'm too drunk to do anything.....wow.....I think it's time for some drunk Ultima Online.....shiittt

I've heard of it, but I don't really have a place where I can practice growls and shit much. I usually just practice by growling while playing guitar.

Other pupils of Melissa Cross have been the lead vocalists of bands like Arch Enemy, Madball, All That Remains, UnderOath, God Forbid, and Andrew W.K.

A ringing fucking endorsement there.

Anyhow, I don't really want to sound like that style. The old school death metal vocalists learned to growl by just experimenting and going with it till they found something that worked; they maybe fucked up their voices a little bit, but most of them sound pretty normal. So that's what I plan on doing. It's working, more or less.

Randy Blythe is taking lessons from her now, and I think it showed in the newest album/on the performance I saw last month,and when he screams the God Forbid guy is a beast. It's basically just voice lessons aimed at teaching you to scream without ripping your throat out. I intend to get it as soon as I can. Just the clips I have been watching on youtube have already improved my ability to sing much longer without going hoarse/voice cracking.
