distortedrumble You posted those lyrics up in the "favorite lyric" thread as well... any idea who it is, or what the song is? Also, what genre is it? (my guess is either rap or metal)

I'm up in the good ol' Northeast. If you want, check out "Apropos" either here or here. It isn't as heavy as your stuff, but the solo in the middle contains a classic shredder-style riff. Thanks for posting! :) P.S. - "Mistress Carrie Theme Song" is also a shredding song... no solo...

Okay... a "just for fun" kind of post... what is your favorite lyric of all time? Not song, but lyric... a line or two in a song that represents, to you, one of the coolest, funniest, strangest, or just plain best things ever written. Also, if possible, explain what about that lyric makes it...

It's up there... Tell me about it. :D I didn't want to leave anything out, though... like I said, the answer is essentially an explanation of basic music theory, which in itself is complex. Of course, the reason the post was as long as it was was due to the neccessity of formatting the...

Usually, a song is born when I sit down with a guitar or keyboard and noodle around for a bit. When something strikes me, I grab the small tape recorder I keep handy and get it down. Often, I'll forget about the song until I finish the tape and listen to it on my stereo (usually about a month...

You're never to young or old to SHRED!!!!!! (Insert whipping riff and generic heavy metal hand gesture here) Cool song... agree in spades with the commentary on the acoustic drop... kind of like flinging yourself into the Grand Canyon, hitting a cartoon mattress and bouncing up to the other...

One of my ongoing favorite hook songs is "Innervision" by System of a Down. Love that song, still crank it up (if anyone ever plays it). Somehow, they made the entire SONG a hook. "Liberate" by Disturbed is still good. Also liked the recent Jane's Addiction song... think it was called "Just...

Writing cohesive lyrics is difficult, especially if you're not used to writing straight prose. I've found that, when crafting lyrics, it helps to keep them flowing naturally. For example: Verse (original): Life, you b**ch You keep knocking me down I haven’t had enough The fight goes on Verse...

Okay... first, to clear up your current question, a "melody note" is simply a note - in this case, the "melody", or primary, note. Playing that note does not mean you have to play the chord that starts with that note. Example: Play a basic IV (fourth) chord (in the key of C this is an "F"...

Give this a try... If you want to work on coming up with new chord progressions, try this exercise: 1) Pick a chord to start with (any chord is fine), and play it. 2) Figure out which chord you instinctively want to go next. Instead of doing so, pick any other note at random. Don't listen...

Something new? First, define "new"... Okay. Here we go. A little piece of poignant pontification pertaining to the perpetuation of innovation and it's relation to the stationary, always scary, here-and-therey world of music. Wait for it... ;) Chances are, if you explore and research the...

... Wow. Really. Wow. [downloaded and added to mp3 collection] P.S. - "Hevy B. Good" ;) P.P.S. - Now how do I get my foot to stop tapping?!?!?

(raises hand) Yo. I still have all of the songs available in raw form... the problem is, the CD is already pressed... so even if I was to fix up the vocals, it still wouldn't appear on any commercially-available CDs for quite some time. I may still go ahead and do so, but it would be mostly...

Thanks for the feedback! terrible_buddhi Yep. Worcester Area, MA. (see mp3.com/NWR location). Good to hear from another WAAF listener. :) CanopuS Appreciate the vote of confidence, C... I've been getting a lot of varying feedback on the vocals. Maybe it's the way it was recorded, maybe the...

Oh, well... Between the feedback I've gotten here and from various acquaintances, both personal and professional, it seems that this CD was... well, a mistake. Reviews on the music and the songs themselves have been good, but the vocals pretty much seem to kill any possibility of this becoming...

You suck? If you suck, then I want to suck, too! Enough with this "rockin" and "kickin", I gotta start "suckin"! Seriously, that is a cool, cool song! Does Quentin Tarantino know about you? I love the impact in the electric parts, then a good abrupt, yet smooth, transition to the Spanish...

** Update: Nowhere Radio ** Okay, the songs are up on Nowhere Radio as well as mp3.com. The links are provided below: Click here to go to mp3.com Click here to go to Nowhere Radio At Nowhere Radio, click on "Discography", then either on "Singles" or "ep1" to get to the songs. As always...

There you go.. sounds like almost exactly what I did. :p Anyone else checked out the songs? I know you're out there... I can hear you laughing... ;) For those who are genre-cautious, the listed genres are "Rock" and "Heavy Metal". P.S. - Still nothing from Nowhere Radio yet... I'll let you...

TripleM Here's the odd part... I used a pop filter. Mic stand clip, snake neck store-bought $25 wind screen pop filter. Maybe it was set up too close to the microphone...

Cool... thanks for the technique, Lt. Bob... I'll definitely keep it in mind for future recordings. :) BTW... a little off-topic, but is that your picture playing the sax? I play alto, myself. Keep up the feedback, all... I want to hear it. Really, I do. :D
