hey guys-

My band usually gets a rap for being loud, primitive, rudimentary, but inventive...we got a live instrumental cut on our mp3 site right now: "jessicas cartoon". Tell me what u think... of us. I'm always interested in what the orgers think.

It's cool, you should try more uptempo songs, maybe you could go on the Mr Bungle vein.

Well damn that's cold man. Why you gonna jump like that? If you're just gonna dump the responders's music the minute they say something about yours, it comes across as sophomoric and holds little value on your own credibility.

Just pointing it out.

I see what your saying Otan. But maybe just being words it comes across as blunt & cold. A little tone & gesticulation would of softened the blow. I'm not trying to be a prick...I wasn't feeling his stuff, I wasn't dumping. I remember you gave my music a lukewarm response a few months ago, & I thanked you, & told you i liked your music. So, I think if I'm guilty of anything I should of said something like "not my cup of tea..." or "I wasn't feeling it..."
I apologize to everyone who percieved it as cold. Apologies 7Salles...just didn't get into it.

sounds like cats runny across guitars and drums

ROTFLMAO Tal

Don't think that's a compliment, but I'll take as one.

No apologies, fuck off bastard! you sounds like a child. I didnt asked for you fucking opinion.

You should have thanked me cause nobody answered your fucking thread of your fucking band.

now i'll give my honest review, sorry for the harsh words on the posts before, i was stressed because i didn't sleep. now i heard your songs two times, and.. I think the guitar tone of the song is not very good, you guys should work on that , the drums could be more complex beucase it would flow well with the song, maybe some more syncopated beats. I usually don't like songs that are out of key too, maybe you should try to follow a key, or modulate when wants to change. It's easy, it's like this: in the key C the chords are C7+, Dm7 Em7 F7+ G7 Am7 Bdim, you use the scales and modes over chords like these ones for example, but dont play a F note over a C chord, cause the E will shock with the F aply this logic to other chords and keys. It reminds of that group.. SHAGGS. I swear I am not being biased, i am hearing the song right now. Maybe you're to much a visionary and is ahead of your time, but it's very experimental, it's beyond my mind. I am just a guy who is into commercial pop rock bands like Guns N Roses and Faith no more, so i think my mind is cliche. Sorry, i will lock my self in a room and listen real music like shaggs, frank zappa and mr bungle. Then i will understand your art, when i grow up. Good bye, so long and farewell.

Hey now - I called him out on it and he apologized,

sort of:

But yes. The lesson of the day is "negative feedback is appreciated if you word it WISELY. You're stepping on people's babies here..."

7salles said:

Wow.

although I agree with the drum recommendation (we replaced that drummer a few months ago). Wow, all I said was I didn't like it (your music). That doesn't mean we have to get nasty. Otan, called me on it-i apologized. And your little back handed music lesson further exemplified that your stuff was boring...not bad, just boring (2 me...whats that mean in the scheme of things? nothing). When I replied I didn't like your music--It was my mistake that I didn't articulate that: you weren't into my music, I wasn't into yours...we have different ways of thought & different taste. So, don't get nasty...as far your "real music" comment: thats fine...you're creating what you like-dated sounding music. Or really hip music if you are 15 years behind. So If thats real music; fine. I love old & new stuff. I never claimed to be a genius, or some guitar wiz. But I guess for a hack-I'm living well. Small deal in the works, lots of shows, good turn-out, no day job. I can't complain...life is good. Maybe, I'll work on my scales & listen to a record from 1987 & get really artistic.
Thanks...Again I apologize for my first response to you.

Nero

man... you're NOT helping things.

can't we all just get along, or am I gonna have to pull out the race card?

otan said:

Snide for snide...I think we're done. I'm ready to call it. i apologize for turning this place into a bickering parlor. Frankly, I think he doesn't like my music cuz I'm black.
JOKE JOKE JOKE...


Nero

p.s. besides I'm not african-american

Wah? wah? What did I miss? Sorry, I'll go back to sleep now...

P.S. dont think i was pissed cause you didnt like my band. I was just pissed with your atittude, because i really think that it was pathetic. But let's end all this bullshit here. Life is to beautiful for us to argue over such a ridiculous topic. kiss you star brother.

as for the black comment, I will pretend i didn't read it.

Such fragile egos - like paper glass.

I do realise the above simile doesn't make sense.

dont try to put more fire here number23. the argument is over.

7salles said:

Cool..it was a joke.

And I'm sorry about the way, I said what I said..
Put it there .

Peace
