So i'm in a band




Posted by MetalVox~55

I had a tryout yesterday, and it just absolutely rocked. Joe and Matt (guitarist and drummer) are quitting their other band and had heard me play in my shop before, so they asked me if I'd be up for playing lead in a new band they wanted to do.

Our influences are:
In Flames
Slayer
Dream Theater
Necrophagist
Opeth
Symphony X
Dimmu Borgir

Melodeth/Thrash metal :D

It'll rock. I'm thinking of names, and the only good one I can come up with is "The Ghost Gate". Any suggestions on names, or just comments, post here :)

I AGREE with your choice of genre. But yeah, it's about time you get into a band. What the hell took so long?

Yeah! lol

Agreed! Good genre choice : )

I still want to do a Pagan Black Metal (with keyboards playing an ambient style)/ Country band. The name would be [url=http://www.lowcarbandmore.net/images/products/229980.jpg]Winterfrost Eclipse[/url]. We'd be distinctly evil, cold, and Northern (Texan).

Vampy, help make my dream come true.

Are you kidding me? I'd do that in a heartbeat. I'd abandon my life and move out to Texas just so I could do that.

I like all those and Jock Strap. One of those is actually going in my user title. Thanks Opeth! ;)

For my two cents: How about Minesweeper? (I'm playing that so thats why it's such a crappy suggestion.)

Posted by MetalVox~55

Awwwwww, you guys are actually starting to make me feel BAD about joining this band :(




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Vizard.

I've always liked that word. Plus, it's perfect for a BM, DM, MDM band. Though not so much for a Thrash band. If you're going to be thrash, you need a ****ty, cheasey name. A name where you're like "yeah, **** this, we're so ****ing badass that we can still be ****ing badass even with a ****ing ****ty name. ****".

My suggestion is to make the band name in some foreign language. That way if it sucks, it still looks cool.

I refuse, but the prospect of having Vampy's nuts on the cd cover is too tempting. I give.

so be it, Vampiro's Left Testicle.

Probably the former.

I'm thinking that Erectile Dysfunction or Autistic Masturbation would be the most appropriate way to label your band. That or go buy a college level Anatomy book and just find something appealing out of there, I mean it'll be death metal right?

It's like car racing, given the conditions and stuff, the slightly worse driver can win.

Not like I said that a worse guitarist would ALWAYS be better. And if I did, it was a typo.

Yeah, maybe under the condition that the better guitarist had his hands smashed into pieces by a sledge hammer.

Awesome. Do they have any tabs for it floating around on the internet? And private message me because I dont want to get the thread too off topic.

Hey, the whole "better/worse" thing can be so blurred that it's really impossible to tell who is; one of your own examples was Michael Romeo and John Petrucci. Did I ever say that this would always be the case?

If you don't already have Guitar Pro 4, it's probably worth getting. But meh.



Posted by Crazy Canuck

Musicians can be judged on musicianship and some technical aspects of their playing but they can't be judged on how they appeal to particular individuals because music is an art. Art strikes different chords with different people. :)

Band name is decided. Credit goes to CJ for helping with the name:

Aphotic Sinfonia :rock:




Posted by Richaod


Quoting MetalVox~55: Apothic Sinfonia :rock:


I understand the second word, but "apothic"?

oh, and if you like Necrophagist and Arch Enemy, you SERIOUSLY need some Carcass influence; Heartwork-era Carcass as opposed to goregrind, of course.

Neato. Sounds good for the fanbase you'd be appealing to.

sry, typo :(

Aphotic

a·pho·tic ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-ftk)
adj.
Having no light.
Of or relating to the region of a body of water that is not reached by sunlight and in which photosynthesis is unable to occur.

:cool: I'm glad you guys went for it. Like TSC said, it fits your fanbase, and both genres very well.

It still sounds as badass now as it did yesterday.

Aphotic Sinfonia... Sounds pretty cool. Our band is having some trouble with a name, we have deicied we dont want a name that makes it sound like just another highschool band. So were tottaly undeicided.

Thats not a bad idea, except our rythm guitarist would find some reason why that is horribly unexceptable. I dont realy care, just not something childish like Penguin Popper... or something ga[COLOR="White"]y[/COLOR] like that.

I understood what you meant.

Chet Atkins is a better guitarist than I am. He could outfingerpick me or anyone else in the world, most likely. But if we were both expected to play the solo from, let's say, Fade to Black (by Metallica), I'd be willing to bet that I, a worse guitarist, could play a better solo than he, a better guitarist, simply because Chet Atkins plays almost nothing but fingerpicking (which he does unrealistcally well). Give him an electric guitar and a regular pick, and he'd do pretty well, I'd say, but not as well as others who have worked longer at that style.

Hence, a worse guitarist can very possibly play a better solo than a better one.

Siggify that, b*tches.
