Hahaha I laughed when I saw the same shirt in the picture that was taken a year ago.




Posted by Pit

Yeah man. You're definately older than Rob. You look like an older version of him.

Its bad enough when girls whine about being fat.

You'd better be kidding.

Nice pictures, though. I don't regret becoming more of a vocal musician, but I still feel jealous when people show off their instruments.

Sorry, I just had to do that. :) Nice pictures. :cool:

Uh, Rob is like 15 years old, and Porcupine is 17 or 18. He is older.

By the way, you know what I think of your pics. :o

Aha, people are so consistently wrong. :(

Nice pics, Porc. This thread just reminded me how you need to start playing your accordion again. ;o

Haven't decided whether or not I like it.

Discuss!




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Before. Definitely. Not saying the new style is bad, but longer hair seems to suit your face a lot better.




Posted by Ant

After is way better imo. Makes you look younger. Unless you want to look old...

I stick with my decision.




Posted by Azusa

Before. I'm partial to longer hair, and the new haircut makes your head look bigger than it actually is. But that's just me.




Posted by Porcupine

I stick with my decision.

Huh, put an age to both pictures. :)



Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Before: 23-25

After: 18-19




Posted by Vampnagel P. Wingpire

I actually like the after look quite a lot. The before is still nice, too, but if I had to choose, I'd go with after.




Posted by Velvet Nightmare

After, no fucking question. Looks almost more....evil.




Posted by Altinure

now just shave your chest hair and getting a better fitting shirt. :kiss:




Posted by Klarth

Before's picture makes you look like some random guy who listens to classic rock like Velvet Revolver. After makes you look like someone who listens to heavy metal bands like Rammstein. I like it.




Posted by cool gamer dad

After. School rules, right? :(

[quote=Altinure]now just shave your chest hair and getting a better fitting shirt. :kiss:
not everyone wears their shirts two sizes too small lol :kiss:




Posted by Altinure

wearing smalls in mens isn't wearing them too small. shirts aren't supposed to drape all over you. larges are for overweight people, hence large, or people with lots of muscles. the rest of us are smalls and mediums, unless you're like over 6'3".




Posted by Ch

Haha I just noticed thats the same shirt from those pictures from a year ago, I think.




Posted by cool gamer dad

I wear Larges and I'm a skinny kid.

It's definitly loose on me (I prefer lose-fitting clothes), but not cloak-like.

[quote=Chépito]Haha I just noticed thats the same shirt from those pictures from a year ago, I think.
He wears that shirt a lot. :cool:




Posted by MetalVox~55

I miss your long hair, but i'd still hit it.




Posted by Porcupine

Altinure: Ugh, I might shave my chest hair, seeing as there's always some kinda comment on it. And I just find Larges to be more comfortable. :kiss:

Posted by Prince Redon

I liked it longer personally...You did look alot older with long hair.

You with your long hair wearing a top hat would look cool...Shut up I'm bored, and the thought just came to me.




Posted by Porcupine

True, I've been lookin' for a top hat!




Posted by Proto Man

I like after.




Posted by Porcupine

Thanks, buddy!

I don't look so miserable in this one. :)




Posted by Sable Wind

After. You look like a bum in the first one. :(




Posted by Richaod


Quoting Vampiro: Before: 23-25

After: 18-19

Truth.

First one: Stoner. Aim for a more windmill-headbanging style if you're going for longer hair.
Second one: A shy-looking John Petrucci in the making. It's a very British haircut too, in some weird way that I can't explain.

Seriously, though. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/karikaumi/PICT0055.jpg and http://www.antenna.nu/dreamtheater/petrucci01.jpg ... well, maybe. Give it about 20 years or so. AND GROW A GOATEE. I'm always the one making the Dream Theater connections, aren't I?

[quote=Klarth]Before's picture makes you look like some random guy who listens to classic rock like Velvet Revolver.
Reference or serious statement? If it's the latter, I'll never stop paying you out. NEVER.



Posted by Aesthetic

Wow. I definitely prefer your new haircut. Makes you look more approachable (in some odd way) and, well, sexay. How old are you again? :(

Then again, it depends on your personality. I don't know you that well, so I don't know whether you're more like the seemingly-stoned-bum-listening-to-classic-metal-guy, or the kind more girls are likely to jump. :-\

I get away with it. Nearly. I'm just 15 and I recently got away with having centimetre-length facial hair for a couple of days without a single comment by any of the teachers. Same can't be said for the students, though. :p

http://jkw.dmusic.com -> The Syndicate -> Untitled

A song written for my band, The Syndicate (but performed only by me :(), based on music from the Monkey Island series. This song features guitars and accordion and is still waiting for lyrics and whatnot!

Enjoy. :)




Posted by Shin-Ra

The guitar is really sloppy, I'm not really digging the guitar following the accordion during the accordion's parts, and the guitar is (like you said on AIM) too loud on that part. Other than that, you have the right idea, it's a fun song, and you're experimenting with something new to you. I approve, keep it up.




Posted by Porcupine

Yeah, the guitars are sloppy and the levels are uneven because this is just a very rough version! And it's actually the accordion following the guitar, meaning by the time I added the accordion it was too late to take out the guitar. :/




Posted by Shin-Ra

Ah, that's understandable on all points. Rerecord. :cool:




Posted by Vampnagel P. Wingpire

Well, since you don't need more criticism, I'll just say that the tune is catchy, and I look forward to hearing the final draft.

God, I need an accordion.




Posted by coromoro

I like it! Very catchy. :cool:

Porcupine - Keyboards, Guitars, Vocals
Sabredog - Bass

Thrown this together earlier today, enjoy it. The alternate lyrics originate from a rhyme created by the children at Aled Jones' (the original singer) school to taunt him in the playground. Little bastards. :)

Merry Christmas!




Posted by Poco

Listening. Loved the original. And this is way better.




Posted by Shin-Ra

Hilarious. The only thing I didn't like was the piano. It sounded too choppy, unsure, and awkward. Good job though, it got a 'lol' from me.




Posted by Velvet Nightmare

*pauses iTunes*

Lyrics are pointless, but the guitar makes up for it.

Posted by Fei-on Castor

The first track ~

Well done, but a bit repetitive. It's just pretty much the two phrases. Could use a bit more to thicken it up a bit, like a guitar solo or something.

End ~

You missed a note, I think, if you were playing what I think you were. What you played was:

C-G-G-G-G#-G... B-C

And what I think you were going for was:

C-G-Gb-G-G#-G... B-C

I could be wrong, but that's what I got out of it.

Walking in the air:

How ruthlessly absurd. Point stands.

Well written piece, but clearly, meant for humour, and suceeded in such.

This is an instrumental rock piece - I'd say this is the best thing I've yet recorded. Some of the tones are a bit off but I tried my best to fix them.

Myself - Guitars, drums, keyboards.
Sabredog - Bass.

Enjoy.




Posted by Hyper

My only complaint is that it isn't long enough. Nice work.

[quote=Crazy Canuck]Excellent work. I really enjoyed it but like Hyper said, it could be a little longer. Anyway, keep up the good work!
I have been considering extending it but I'm not too sure about how to do that without it seeming to drag on a bit. When we play it live there's usually an extended solo around the end.


Quoting The underground: This song is a peice of work it is awsome and i have already downloaded it. I would like to hear lyircs for it the it would be complete.

That's right, it is a piece of work!

Me and my band's guitarist have been looking to put some kinda lyrics to it for quite a while now but nothing's come out. We've had fans (haha) say it should remain instrumental. It probably will.



Posted by sabre


Quoting Angelwing: Have I been kicked out of the band? :(

Naw, it's a different outfit basically. :O We (as in you, myself, Porcupine, and whoever the hell else it was) really need to start doing something though.

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone, btw.



Posted by William

You might think I'm crazy, but when I listen to the song... I imagine both Geddy Lee and Hansi Kürsch singing the vocals together.

But yeah, it's really good. More!




Posted by sabre

Geddy Lee is a sexy hunk of man. Best use of a vice in modern rock.

Actually I dig both of their voices, so that's a good comment. :O Thanks.

Really **** good. Surprised at how good the quality is, too.

I'm going to be honest with you dudes, the whole thing sounded like an intro. I would have liked to hear some hardcore whaling on the drums, mayhaps a touch more bass? Then again I am far from a musician. Constructive critiscism?

I'll comment on the hairy song later when I actually listen to it.




Posted by Vampnagel P. Wingpire

I like the first picture best. But I also like the longer hair. Either way looks good.




Posted by Porcupine

Come on, people. Talk about the song. The song.




Posted by Slade

Listening to the song... reminds me a little of Dark Cloud 2. Nice flowing line in the background. I deem it a good song.




Posted by Dexter

Just listened to "For Yourself" a few times. I think it's excellent. I put it on my ipod. I'm going to get the rest of your songs now. Do you sing in any of them? I guess I'm about you find out.

It reminds me of a happy shopping/conversing town in some RPG game. My biggest complaint would be the shortness of it. It doesn't last nearly long enough and had potential to do much more.




Posted by Ant

If I could sum up the song in one word. It'd have to be: Hairy.




Posted by Porcupine


Quoting Dexter: I want that hairy chest. What are your secrets?

I actually tempt the hair to come out with pieces of meat, sometimes even a three-course-meal.


Quoting Dexter: It reminds me of a happy shopping/conversing town in some RPG game. My biggest complaint would be the shortness of it. It doesn't last nearly long enough and had potential to do much more.

Well, you say this, but that is about the length of one of those RPG game tunes that just constantly loops itself. The accordion is a fun instrument that anyone can enjoy! :)

And I do sing, just not on any of the songs on there! I can let you know when there are some vocals up there. I could make up an elaborate reason that there aren't any already but the truth is I'm just not a very good lyricist. I'm actually applying to be the vocalist for a local metal band. Wish me luck with that!

Thank you for the feedback and calling me and my songs hairy!



Posted by Dexter


Quoting Porcupine: Well, you say this, but that is about the length of one of those RPG game tunes that just constantly loops itself.


That's true. That's what I like to do with the song too, because one listen is just too short. But even with a few loops, it still seems as though you could have done more variations while keeping the tune going strong. Did you mean for this to resemble an RPG village? If so, good job.
