I should be ashamed of myself, plugged my stuff and forgot to plug my bands stuff
I suppose it comes under the humorous black metal section. We've only got three songs.
Das boot (Battleaxe cover) - exactly what it says on the tin
Power rangers theme - Black metal version of said theme
Blackroll - Black metal version of Rick Astley's "never gonna give you up"

Enjoy

I'm just a amateur musician, I play guitar, bass, synthesiser (still learning after 3 years) and keyboard.

Other than that I've been making music on the computer for about 6 years, I don't have anything I'd dare share with the world though.

I've been in MANY bands since the 80's. Most of them were punk bands. I started my first band doing music I wanted to do back sometime around 1990. I wanted to start making industrial music so I used tracker programs like Modedit and ScreamTracker to generate electronic sounds, synths, drum beats, and sampled/edited noise. We used to add a live drummer sometimes. I would play guitar and a friend of mine would sing/growl/scream with distorted and echoed vocals. I still have the tapes of it somewhere.

Now I have many synths and samplers, and a full computer recording studio in my "man cave" here, but wouldn't you know it. Now that I'm old and have all this equipment, I havn't been in a single band or performed live like I used to do all the time back in the day. There's just no venue for my style of music around here any more. Unless you play classic rock, hip hop, or folk, you're completely shut out of the music scene here.

I DID play live as a solo performer once about 7 years ago at a church talent show. I think the olds didn't appreciate me and the kids just didn't "get" it.

good stuff
I'm more into melodeath and gothic/symphonic metal myself but that doesn't mean I don't like black metal

Suppose you know them already (seeing the great musical taste you seem to have), but these are 2 more great humorous metal covers of some pretty famous songs:


(actually the original is 'metal' already, glam metal)

[ignores bass player derision]
I consider myself as a musician, I have my guitar on my lap as I write this (I was trying to work out chet baker's version of 'Almost Blue'), but I don't have anything to share with me playing anything
I've played bass guitar since I was 19, and acoustic guitar from about 23.
Guitar is something I do just for me, whilst bass is my choice if I'm playing with others.

As for what styles... for bass, just about anything really, so long as it has a bit of melody to play. The only examples of stuff I play on my guitar are a couple of tunes I have spent an age learning to play fluently:
(still some work with this one - intonation is not right)
(I play it a tiny fraction slower as it gets to be a bit of a mission when I've not practised for a while)

I don't really play as much as I used to. Not much motivation right now apart from this 'almost blue' thing with my acoustic.

Hi all
I'm a Singer Songwriter with a band called FarCry first registered in 1985 and not to be confused with the many other bands now on the net by the same name
I have written a song in 1983 called "Lusitania" the style back then was called New Wave, now its called Ambient Alternative. It is written from the perspective of the U-Boat Commander, from returning from leave, to hunting the Seas and the sinking.

hmmm not sure i should post in here...but i give it a try....

Im learning to play music....been practiceing to learn the guitar....

To understand me there is a long story, but in few words here is how it is. I grew up in a home with problems, was shipped to "Rudolph steiner school"'

There i had a talent with music, but because no one exept the school tryed to evolve this in my teens it got lost.

Here in my 30`s i finaly got some help with working on my old "isues" and gave my self a Ukelele as a gift. After some fooling around with that i picked up the guitar the GF bought 12 years ago....

I sat down one evening and played the flute, last time a used one was 20 years ago....after playing the flute it began to come back to me.

Since then music have become a major part of my life, like finding a old friend...Im years behind the 18 year olds, but i have fun and slowly progress towards my goals....
I have used my new found skills making some "fun" songs to some players of Eve online....

Some of what i have made can be found on youtube, just browse 44999923

I have loads of other stuf that isnt published....

I know im noob at this, but i do it with my heart. Im learning in a apce i can follow using both a few DVD`s and youtube....never took a lesson...but thinking on that since i have probs getting my ring finger and pinkie working solo, they just wount work independant lmao....dont think 8 years of boxing helped out on that....

I cant sing....and im working on a "so far so good vidio" that might help others out with a few things.....when they begin on the guitar...

well....

I can say that doing my job i can use the "old" talent...and my life got 50% better after i startet to listen and play again....

Of course you should post here! The title was 'Musicians Thread', not 'Professional Musicians'. Everybody likes to hear each other's music. and yours is pretty good.
