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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

These were more like angry Layne Staley screams haha.
I can do black metal style screams/growls all day and not feel a thing. It's when I do the low end death growls that really start to hurt me.
What we decided to do is take a 3 or four of the riffs that really work, then turn it into intro/verse/verse/chorus/bridge/verse/verse/chorus/solo/chorus/verse. As as opposed to the intro/different part of intro/verse/interlude/verse/interlude/chorus/intro again/bridge/verse/interlude/verse/chorus/refrain/solo/chorus/chorus/interlude/verse we had going.

About to get ready to hang out with friends. Apparently I'm not scheduled for work tonight, which is odd considering it's a Friday. This means I literally won't get a paycheck next Wednesday, which is terrible. Now the days I took off for MDF + recovery are catching up to me 
Fail.
