# it does indeed fecking rule.
and if i knew more people into thrash/death then id start a band like that. but i dont. the guys i started the band with in lancaster all graduated from uni this year, and fucked off down south, so that was the end of that. It was brief, but it was fucking unbelievable. We were playing under the name 'corpse on a string' just cos it was a stupid dumbass type death name. We sounded like Slipknot crssed with slayer, but on one guitar, one bass and one drumkit, and my mate Daz screaming his fucking head off and tearing at the walls.

# bloody uni
you'll probably get stuck with a bunch of people you don't like and have to try to get on with them for at least a year and go slowly crazy in their company that you can't get away from.

people who are already going, thanks for the advice though, it will probably turn true

# Fuck em off
if you don't like em, no rules saying you have to hang around with people in your halls that you don't know, you didn'y choose them to live with. Chances are most of the people you meet you won't speak to after 1 year even if you do spend all your time with them.
If you know people already, bonus I say.

# the band that i know are metalcore/hardcore
are called scarlet bullet lake.. they really are shit hot, ive been in a band with the bassist before and he's damn good, 'cept his main bass is in for repairs at the moment :S. if you havent heard of gutworm the main band on the night then you're a fool, theyre huge on the uk underground :)

and i despise that kinda music :)

# heard of em yeah.
havent been to any of their shows though. been out of the loop whilst ive been at uni. Tell you something though, look out for a band called MERICHANE from lancaster. they fucking RULE. and i very rarely say that about bands at our level, cos bands at our level are usually shit.

I think ive heard of scarlett bullet. did they used to be my red bullet?
(, Mon 1 Sep 2003, 3:07, archived)
# hahahaha
thats so fucking weird, no they arent, but i also know my red bullet, ive been in battle of the bands with them in bolton, seen them at a few local pubs too, i sorta know ramsey who is the lead guy (i.e. talked to him a few times), but theyre emo guys and im not a huge fan of the music to say the least
(, Mon 1 Sep 2003, 3:12, archived)
# ahhhh.
cos my red bullet were "band of the month" the month after us on some website or other. trippy that they share a name.

When i get back to uni, im starting my own solo project, of seriously heavy grooves, like Pantera style stuff. I'll send some links your way, see what you think.

# no. avoid.
i got into a big argument with em when they played a battle of the bands with us. I thought they were utterly shite, and their singer had a strop when they didnt win, so i basically told him he was a childish cunt, and his band (and his mates) all started giving it some. But they were fucking wank. shit vox, shitter guitars and the drums were out of time. At one point in time I was inviting em to come down to our next gig and Id personally kick the shit out of them onstage. It was pretty heated. But theres a guy who plays for em that was suggesting that I cant play metal riffs, cos of what I do with publicide. I wanted to tear his fucking head off. But yeah, stay away from em, cos they suck ass. They think theyre like ULTRA heavy, but theyre not, theyre just a mess. I mean, I listen to some aggressive, abrasive music, but this was just noise. I believe I called them "the audio equivalent of bad handwriting" at the time.

# ahh
i shall give them a wide birth...with all the contractions and everything. i think i get what you mean though, i hate the people who think theyre metal and just turn out to be pussy out of time shite. well, theyre just there for fun i suppose

# not my idea of fun.....
shit, I wish Corpse on a string was still going. youd fucking flip at that stuff. some of the fucking riffs we did, people were having fucking nosebleeds!

# sounds good
ive got crappy at guitar over the past few months, barely played due to exams/lots of work/drinking
(, Mon 1 Sep 2003, 3:32, archived)
# funny that
cos ive barely drunk/done work/exams due to guitar playing....

I do need to practice more though. I used to play for about 9 hours a day, every day, but i stopped when i got to uni. although i been playing loads recently, but its fucked my wrist up playing so fucking hard for so long without warming up. heh, I wanna record some riffs for you now... My mate Daz called me "machine gun" cos of how fast i play, it sounds like a fucking uzi going off.

# damn smooth
i dunno the style that i play right now is......probably metalcore...stupid fast followed by slow grooves.........drop c tuning is a blessing
(, Mon 1 Sep 2003, 3:37, archived)
# yeah.
the corpse stuff was all drop B. gauge 13 strings on an epiphone SG. could barely bend the fuckers, it was great! Its a great tuning to sing over, cos ive got quite a deep voice, and it actually gives me some range.
(, Mon 1 Sep 2003, 3:40, archived)
# mmmm drop b
i can get my guitar to drop A but i prefer C, its just more fun. hehe drop B always sounds damn meaty, bet it did sound good.i can't sing for shit so thats never a factor
(, Mon 1 Sep 2003, 3:42, archived)
# someone once told me i sound like james hetfield without the tune.....
A is good on a 7 string. My SG didnt like it too much though. Drop B was plenty heavy. I hired this piece of shit Peavey amp, cranked everything up to 10 and tried make it explode. Those were the days....

This year im putting together a Guns N Roses style blues/hard rock act, with a few mates of mine. But I still wanna do the heavy shit.

# arrghh
death to 7 strings...unless steve vai is behind one. i own a really cheap shitty ibanez but it seems to manage alot, speccially weird string guages (i use ernie heavy bottom, slinky tops). i have a peavey amp too but thats pretty shite, but it can knock out some pretty heavy crap. hehe you going back to the old school, everyone seems to be doing that thesedays.........'death to the darkness' i hate those fuckers

# i hate this fucking "modern old skool" vibe thing though.
basically, the only good old skool rock bands are Guns n roses, led zeppelin, sabbath and aerosmith.
