What is your favorate band(s)? Mine is Dream Theater. They are like Gods to me.
-
Well despite what you probably gather from my screen name, Led Zeppelin is not my favorite band. I don't really have a favorite, because if I tried to think of my favorite band, I would probably have a hundred-way tie between several bands. But some of the stuff I listen to most is Nirvana, Franz Ferdinand, System of a Down, The Offspring, Led Zep, and a little bit of Green Day, but they kind of get overplayed and repetitive sometimes.
-
George Thorogood! Yay!!
-
Stuff from the 60's/70's I normally like to listen to.
-
So, has anyone even HEARD of Dream Theater? They are great musicians. They play a progresive rock kind of thing. Their albums are like stories. If you like Nervermore, Deftones, or Metallica, you will love this band. John Petrucci is the guitarist, and mabey the BEST guitarist ever lived! Even better than Metallica! He is so kool...
-
Are you empty headed? Hello, Jimi Hendrix! And Les Claypool on the bass, and The Who doing more stuff. Don't forget the dummer from Metallica and the rest of the band! Rock on!!!!!!

I can't believe no one said Linkin Park!
Hahahahahahahahahaha! That was funny.
-
I'm extremely eclectic. I will listen to anything. Including (in fact, especially) bands or singers that other people don't like.
Lately, a friend let me listen to Coheed and Cambria (I forget the name of the album exactly, but I remember the title was very long) and I have to say it's awesome.
-
Here's some of my favorite bands (http://www.nd.edu/~englearn/lego/bands.gif). I'm also fond of the gears (http://www.nd.edu/~englearn/lego/gears.gif) and connectors (http://www.nd.edu/~englearn/lego/connectors.gif).

Yes, Khold, I have to say Dream Theater is WAY up there on the list for me. They all are insanely talented. Yes, I would have to say my favorite bands are:
Nirvana
Dream Theater
Coheed and Cambria
some Johnny Cash
and Foo Fighters
I only like stuff that I call "Peaceful Rock" or stuff that I could go to sleep to. It's gotta have a certain mood to it, and I don't really listen to much other types of music than rock/alternative. Oh, and Weird Al. . .he's making a new album as we speak I believe. Or at least, that's what I gathered from his website.
-
I don't listen to certain bands. All bands make a bad song sometimes. I listen to certain songs from bands, and then music from movies and video games and stuff.
-
Yeah right. They were fake.
-
Haha Zep, that was funny. Needs more cowbell! Thank goodness for SNL and BOC.
-
Yeah, good times! I own both "SNL Best of Will Ferrel" DVDs, and I never get tired of that skit.

Wow, at least someone here knows Dream Theater. I also play the guitar. I'm learning alot of their songs now. I just mastered the second solo on "Blind Faith" on Six Degrees of Inner Turbulance. THAT was a hard song...
-
This topic smells like teen spirit.
-
Here's the top five songs on my playlist right now:
1. Nirvana "Stay Away"
2. The Sex Pistols "Anarchy in the U.K."
3. Franz Ferdinand "Darts of Pleasure"
4. Nirvana "Lithium"
5. System of a Down "Lonley Day"

Wow. I'd like to hear it someday, you should record it and post it, that would be awesome. I too am a guitarist, but am still picking up scales and working on speed, but as far as music theory, I've mostly got it down. But I really really like the drummer from Dream Theater, I love watching drum players play, and I'm not sure why.
Hmmm. . .lately I've been listening to music from movies too, and some My Chemical Romance.
-
I like......
-PINK FLOYD
-Incubus
-The Band
-Jimi Hendrix
-The Grateful Dead
-Syd Barrett
.......and a bunch more. But I mostly stick to Pink Floyd. Almost have every album made.
-
gunblade88, how long have you been playing guitar? Just curious I'v been playing for about 4 years now. Me and my friend pulled together a band and all we need is a drummer. Drummers are sooooo hard to find :\
Some people think I am a "tom boy" for playing progressive/rock/blues. Thats not rare is it? Like that one DEATH metal band called Arch Enemy. The girl is the singer and since DEATH metal has all that growing and screaming... wow. She sounds like a guy!

Wow. Deezer is like the guy version of me! ;D I feel honered. Who else plays guitar and how long? I know Deezer plays.
-
I "play" guitar. Not all that well, but I can at least play rhythm. And I guess I've been playing guitar about as long as I've been alive. :P
-
We need a link to that one Steely Dan song you played that one time.
-
I played bass guitar for two years.
-
I play lead guitar in a band called House Arrest. We have only a few of our own songs, but we're well known around the community.
-
I've played for eight years. One of these days I'm going to start taking practice seriously...

Last time I checked, we don't have that many songs that feature the cowbell.
-
I got a fevah!
-
I've played guitar for 2 years. Most of the time I was rockin with George Thorogood! *enter guitar solo from One Bourbon,... here*
-
I have some experience playing drums, I dont have my own set though, which I really want. But when I am messing around with a friends set, I can really jam.
-
Drums are interesting, and it would be cool to learn how to play the 3 basic rock instruments. Guitar, Bass, and the Drums.
-
How much do you practice a day, Deezer? I play for about four hours a day for four years. I'm already the best in my high school is what the guitar club says.
-
I love the Primus. They played a few songs in the first tony hawk game (jerry was a race car driver).
-
Oh, the PS one. *looks disgusted* I need to practice more. Look out for my album!
-
How much do you practice a day, Deezer? I play for about four hours a day for four years. I'm already the best in my high school is what the guitar club says.
Eh, I wouldn't call it practice, more like short bursts of messing around whenever something pops in my head that I need to jam on for a while.
4 hours, eh? Well if you can play Dream Theater songs I'd say you're pretty good. And if you can do the solos I'd say you're better than me. But most people are. :-\
-
Oh yeah, I just foind these guys. Dragon Force.
-
Nice, I didn't know there were so many guitar players here. I have been playing for about three years now, like an hour a day, though, I haven't been playing too much recently, due to me actually taking school seriously. I can play anything once I set my mind to it, I just have to work on it for a day or two, but yes, If you (Khold) can play Dream Theater solos, you are better than I.
I remember posting an acoustic guitar solo that I played one time and for some reason, only Deezer could listen to it. Would this be an appropriate topic to put a sound clip of us playin in?? I'd really like to try again. This time, though, I've improved three hundred percent, so it won't be simple little riffs, I've really gotten good at finger picking and playing classical peices. I didn't want to make a topic for it and be the only one to post something in it. . .though it would be cool to hear everyone elses stuff, I do remember hearing Chup play the guitar one time.
Yes, anyways, I also have experience on the Drums, playing simple rock beats and easy easy solos, not really the best, but good enough to play in say, a Church Youth band or something.
-
I dont really think it is a band, but i like g-unit, especially there jewellery.
I also like dipset.
If you're talking about rock... uh... i think My Chemical Romance is ok.
-
Like gunblade, I also play in a youth worship band dealie. But, I'm more interested in my other, reeaal rock band. In fact I made a Mario song, because of how the FF inspired me to do so. It's called POW Block, and I might post it on here later once it's completely done.
-
Okay, I hope that this is generally on topic, but one of my favorite guitar players is Eric Clapton, and he played a song originally by Mason Williams called "Classical Gas" and I have played a portion of it to show you how it sounds and whatnot. Also, there is another peice in there called "Greensleeves", I believe that Sapph, Chup and other various members that I can't remember offhand had a discussion about it.

I heard you play on the "What does your voice sound like" topic, and you really aren't that bad. You keep an EXCELENT beat ;D I have never been good with keeping beats. And I learned a few solos, but they will always be hard. The hardest one I know(and I mean HARD), is the second solo from the song called Blind Faith, if you know what I mean :-\
The best way to learn their solos is to download Guitar Pro at www.ultimate-guitar.com Just get the demo version if you don't want to pay $60. :o
But it is a big help though. It teaches you the fingering, gives you the correct tabs, and plays it like a MIDI.
Heres a direct link for anyone who wants to get Guitar Pro. http://213.251.138.58/en/index.php?pg=download

Hey, nice! I like this program.
I just came across a band that I REALLY liked today. . ..but I can't seem to remember the name of the band, just the song. It's called "Gun in Hand", It's similar to Mudvayne.
-
I like the B-52's for the sole reason that they did "Rock Lobster". Seriously, that song changed my life. It's about this rock...but it's not a rock, you see. It's a Rock Lobster. And these people found it under a car. I mean, that's about as awesome as you can possibly get without heart failure and/or strong narcotics.
-
You tried it already? You DID get the demo version first, didn't you? I still have the demo version, and I'm on day 24 right now :-\ I'm thinking about downloading the REAL version for Christmas. It's also fun to just mess around with, like making impossible-to-play fast songs and stuff. I made a short song(since theres only 24 bars on the demo) that sounds awsome! It sounds similar to "The Glass Prison" song by Dream Theater. Not that I can play that fast :)
-
Yeah, I got the demo version, It's a good program, but I don't know enough about it to actually take the risk of buying it. I suppose that's why it's a demo. hehe.
And there's this funny band/group called Group X, who did the Mario Twins. I love their music, you'd have to listen to understand why I love em, because they can't be described in words.
