thinking about a "no gods no master volume" shirt for the gearhead/doomtard dudes. I think I am sitting on a gold mine.

blah blah blah if you're pushing less than 100 watts through less than 12 speakers - really what are you doing with your life?

after 6 months of practicing and playing our first show with unsolicited compliments afterwards (not just a "good job man" pat on the back but constructive criticisms and stuff), my standalone vocalist says she wants to stray away from the melodic parts and focus on faster parts that aren't as "boring". how do I explain to her that she is not playing guitar and "write faster stuff" is a total slap in the face?

I wish. trying to hint real hard basically wrote "hey we are doing what you don't like so why are you here" "oh I hate it at first but now I am starting to like it

Synonamess Botch posted:why is that a slap in the face though? even if you don't agree it's not an unreasonable opinion. well she joined the band late and I literally said if I am going to play it's going to be mostly slow and weird and sound like this band (giant). and that's exactly what we did/doing. she basically wants us to be a dc hardcore band. basically she wants us to do exactly what we aren't trying to do

wunderdog posted:Regarding vocalists, I think it all boils down to the whole band working as one. I just went through a major line-up change when my bassist dropped out completely and my drummer needed to take a sabbatical for health reasons. We were a 3 piece, so I'm the only original member now. At first I was reluctant with their suggestions, but working with new musicians has really helped the crap I wrote grow in to some cooler sounding stuff. I also brought in a female backup vocalist who we're working with because she wants to sing more. Our roles are reversed, however; I play fast as hell and she wants slower. Now with that our set has some nice variety to it. Maybe you guys could do something a little closer to what she wants, but keep it within your sound and see what happens. Otherwise, kick her out. you dudes are basically saying what I said to her. I told her I would try to incorporate faster parts if they fit but I am not going to force it. I am by no means trying to stifle her input but when it is just, "play faster!" it doesn't really contribute it's more of just a preference. if she said, for instance, "this part would sound better if it was faster" I would definitely try it, and open it up for others to suggest. but when people come up to me unsolicited after the show and tell me it reminded them of the band I was trying to emulate(see: ripoff) then I feel like I am doing okay

Fractions are not hip so I never bothered to learn them  nah I am sure in bigger cities they are insufferable. Down in da souf I get called a hipster by frat dudes ten years younger than me for wearing band shirts and riding a bike (NOT EVEN A FIXIE)
